?Out of prison?.

19. Nouemb. 1553.

[Back to Top]

Ihon Bradford.

¶ To Sir Iames Hales knight, then prisoner in the Counter in Bredstreate.  
Commentary   *   Close

This letter was first printed in Letters of the Martyrs, pp. 286-89. The original letter is among Foxe's papers (ECL 260, fos. 25r-26v). This is among the worst timed letters in history; it arrived - according to a note written on the original letter - immediately after Hales had recanted and just before he attempted to commit suicide. This mistiming created an embarrassing situation for Bull and Foxe and they deleted a substantial portion of the letter as a result. It is also interesting that, in contrast to the previous letter, Bradford, here writing to a judge, employs a great many Latin phrases.

Hales on your vocation: not many Iudges, not many knightes, not many landed menne, not many riche men, & wealthie to liue as you are, hath God chosen to suffer for his sake, as he hath nowe dooen you.

Note the similarity of this passage to one in a letter from Bradford to Lord Russell.
