A note of Iulius Palmer.

ALso being at Magdalene colledge about a moneth be∣fore he was burned, and reasoning against ••ne Bar∣wike Maister of Arte sometyme his familiar friende and olde acquaintance in the sayd Colledge, after much talke▪ Barwike said vnto him, Well Palmer, Now thou talkest boldly and stoutly at thy pleasure, if thou were brought to a stake, thou wouldst tell me another tale. Take heed, it is an hard matter to burne. Hereunto Palmer answered. In deed it is an hard matter for him to burne y^t hath his soule linked to his body as a thiefes foote is tied in a paire of fetters. But if a man be once able through Gods helpe to seperate and deuide the soule from the body▪ for him it is no harder a thing to burne, thē for me to eat this crumme of bread.
