His bodie remained two daies and two nights on the gallowes, and after taken downe was deliuered to the friers minors, who buried him in their church the morrow after he was deliuered to them, with great pompe and fune|rall exequies, although afterwards he was taken vp and carried vnto Wigmore, whereof he was lord.
