Commentary on the Woodcuts   *   Close
In a faithful transcription of Foxe's text, the woodcut shows John Cardmaker talking to 'the sheriffs', with John Warne already bound to the stake. The admonition in his banderole (recut, changing 'idolatry' to 'idolatrie' in 1576) is the equivalent of a sermon text: 'Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry', 1 Cor. 10:14). The crowd, anxious lest Cardmaker might make a last minute recantation, is focused on Warne's words, while the pointing official on the right seems to indicate that the decision still hung in the balance. The woodcut suggests the difference in age between Warne, aged 29, and Cardmaker, who had been a friar before the Dissolution.

MarginaliaM. Cardmaker standeth constantly to the fire.His prayers beyng ended, he rose vp, put of hys clothes vnto his sheirt, went with bold courage to the stake: and kissed it sweetly: MarginaliaCardmaker and Warne ioyne hands.he tooke Warne by the hād, and comforted him hartly, and so gaue him selfe to be also bound to the stake most gladly. The people seyng this so sodenly done, contrary to theyr fearefull expectation, as men deliuered out of a great doubt, cryed out for ioy (with so great a shoute as hath not lightly bene heard a greater) saying: MarginaliaThe reioysing of the people at Cardmakers constancy.God be praised, the Lord strēgthen thee Cardmaker, the Lord Iesus receiue thy spirite.  

Commentary   *   Close

The Venetian ambassador observed that crowd at Cardmaker's execution sympathised with the martyr (C.S.P. Ven., VI, I, pp. 93-94).

And this continued while the executioner put fire to thē, & they both passed through the fire to the blessed rest and peace among Gods holy Saintes and Martyrs to enioy the crowne of triumph and victory prepared for the elect souldiours and warriours of Christ Iesus in his blessed kyngdome. To whom be glory and maiestie for euer. Amen.

¶ The confession of the fayth of Iohn Warne Citizen of London, which hee wrote the day before hee was burned, the xxx. of May. 1555.  
Commentary   *   Close

Foxe apparently had a copy of this document when he was writing the Rerum, since he states that Warne wrote such a confession of faith on p. 443. If this is the case, than Warne's confession circulated among Marian protestants and was notobtained from an official record.

I beleue in God the father almighty maker of heauen and earth.

Warne and Cardmaker: A Confession and a Letter

As is usual when dealing with the literary remains of the martyrs, Foxe's glosses are supportive rather than interventionist or critical; he draws out the basic issues and examples without comment, although there may be something artful in the highlighting of Christ's triumph over death in 'The triumphāt victory ouer death'.

MarginaliaThe cōfessiō of Iohn Warne.A Father, because hee is the father of our Lorde Iesus Christ, who is the euerlasting word, whom before all worldes he hath begotten of hym selfe, which word was made flesh, and therein also manifested to be hys sonne: in whom he hath adopted vs to be his children, the inheritors of his kingdome, and therfore is he our father: An almighty God, because he hath of nothing created al things visible & inuisible, both in heauē and in earth, euen all creatures contayned therein, and gouerneth them.

And in Iesus Christ his onely sonne our Lord.

The eternall word, perfect God with hys father, of equall power in all thynges, of the same substaunce, of

lyke glory, by whom all thinges were made, and haue lyfe, and wythout whom nothing liueth: he was made also perfect man, and so being very God and very man in one person, is þe onely Sauiour, redeemer, and raunsomer of them which were lost in Adam our forefather. He is the onely meane of our deliueraunce, the hope of our health, the surety of our saluation.

Which was cōceiued by the holy ghost, borne of the Virgin Mary.  

Commentary   *   Close

This point, that Christ was born of Mary, is particularly important because it establishes that the martyr was not an Anabaptist. Orthodox protestants, like Foxe, would have been eager to make this point.

According to the fathers most merciful promise, this eternall sonne of God, forsaking the heauenly glorye, humbled himselfe to take flesh of a virgin according to the scriptures, vniting the substance of the Godhead, to the substance of the manhead which he tooke of the substance of that blessed virgin Mary, in one parson, to become therein the very Mashiach, the anoynted kyng and Priest, for euer appoynted to pacifie the Fathers wrath, which was iustly gone out agaynst vs al for our synne.

Suffered vnder Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried, and descended into hell.

He was arraigned before Pontius Pilate the Ruler of Iewry, and so vniustly accused of many crimes, that the Ruler iudged hym innocent, and sought meanes to delyuer hym: but contrary to knowen iustice he dyd let go Barrabas, which had deserued death, & deliuered Christ to be crucified, who deserued no death: which doth declare vnto vs manifestly that he suffered for our synnes, and was buffeted for our offences, as the Prophetes do witnes: thereby to haue it manifested to all men, that he is that Lambe of God that taketh away the synnes of the world. Therefore suffering for our sinnes, hee receiued and dyd beare our deserued condemnation, the paynes of death, the taste of abiection, the very terror of hell, yelding hys spirite to hys father, hys body to be buryed in earth.
