FOXH’S NARRATIVE. 
The same Monday at night, beyng the fourth of February, his keeper 
gaue hym an ynkeling that he should be sent to Gloucester to suffer death, 
whereat he reioysed very much, liftyng vp his eyes and handes into heauen, 
and praysing God that he saw it good to send him amongest the people 
ouer whom he was Pastour, there to confirme with his death the truth which 
hee had before taught them: not doubtyng but the Lord would geue hym 
strength to performe the same to his glory: and immediatly he sent to his 
seruantues house for his bootes, spurres, and cloke, that he might be in a 
readynes to ryde when he should be called. 
The next day folowyng, about foure of the clocke in the mornyng before 
day, the keeper with others came to hym and searched him, and the bead 
wherein he lay, to see if he had written any thyng: and than he was lead 
by the Shriffes of London, & other their officers, forth of Newgate, to a 
place appoynted not farre from S. Dunstones Church in Fleetestreete, 
where vi. of the Queenes Gard were appointed to receaue hym and to cary 
him to Gloucester, there to be deliuered vnto the Shriefe, who with the 
Lord Suanpors, M. Wickss, and other Commissioners were appoynted to 
see execution done. The which Garde brought hym to the Aungell, where 
he brake his fast with them, eatyng his meate at that tyme more liberally 
then he had vsed to do a good while before. About the breake of the day 
he went to horse, & and leapt cherefully on horse backe without helpe, 
hauyng an hode vpon his head under his hatte, that he should not be 
knowen, and so tooke his iourney ioyfully towardes Gloucester : and alwayes 
by the way the Gard learned of hym where hee was accustomed to bayte or 
lodge, and euer caryed him to an other Inne. 
Upon the Thursday folowyng, he came to a towne in his Dioces called 
Ciceter 15 . myles from Gloucester about a leuen of the clocke, and there 
dyned at a womans house which had alwayes hated the truth, and spoken 
all euill she could of M. Hoprr. This woman perceauyng the cause of his 
commyng, shewed hym all the frendshyp she could, and lamented his case 
with teares, confessyng that she before had often reported, that if he were 
put to the triall, he would not stand to hys doctrine. 
After dyner he rode forewardes, and came to Gloucester, about v of the 
clocke, and a myle without the towne was much people assembled, which 
cryed and lamented hys estate : in so much that one of the Garde rode post 
into the towne, to require ayde of the Maior and Shriffes, fearyng least he 
should haue bene taken from them.
