[443] 'My Lord Chancellor and Master Rich took pains to rack me in their own hands, till I was nigh dead.' Bale's Works, p. 224. Fox, Acts, v. p. 547. Burnet also relates the fact and adds some details:—'The lord chancellor, throwing off his gown, drew the rack so severely.' But Burnet is inclined to doubt the fact. The evidence of Anne Askew is positive. Burnet's doubt means nothing more than a bishop's respect for a lord chancellor.
