[491] At the execution, Latimer’s chaplain, Doctor Tailor, preached a sermon. Among the notes of the proceedings I find a certain Miles Denison called up for disrespectful language.
“The said Miles did say: The bishop sent one yesterday for to preach at the gallows, and there stood upon the vicar’s colt and made a foolish sermon of the new learning, looking over the gallows. I would the colt had winced and cast him down.”—“Also during the sermon he did say, I would he were gone, and I were at my dinner.”—MS. State Paper Office.
