[1] [2] [3] [4] About this time, the bishop of Lincolne, Glocester, Anno Reg. [...]. Commis [...]io|ners sent to Oxford, by th [...] popes autho|ritie, & [...]. and Bristow, were sent in commission to Oxford by the popes authoritie, to examine Ridleie and Lati|mer, vpon certeine articles by them preached, which if they would not recant, and consent to the popes doctrine, then had they power to proceed in sentence against them as heretikes, and to commit them o|uer to the secular power. Those two doctors neuer|theles [page 1130] stood constantlie to that which they had taught, and would not reuoke: for which cause, they were condemned, and after burned in the towne ditch at Oxford, the sixtéenth daie of October. In the time of whose examination, bicause the bishops aforesaid de|clared themselues to be the popes commissioners, neither Ridleie nor Latimer would doo them any re|uerence, but kept their caps on their heads: where|fore they were sharplie rebuked by the bishop of Lin|colne, and one of the officers was commanded for to take of their caps. Of these men, and the maner of their death, ye may read at large in the booke of the monuments of the church.
