Also I desire you to help to the setting forth of the true word of G.o.d, and whereas I am slandered by it, I have been diligent to read it and set it forth truly; but if I had been as diligent to observe it, and done and lived thereafter, as I was to read it and set it forth, I had not come hereto, wherefore I beseech you all to be workers and live thereafter, and not to read it and live not thereafter. As for mine offenses, it can not prevail [benefit] you to hear them that I die here for, but I beseech G.o.d that I may be an example to you all, and that all you may beware [the text says "be wayre," which could also mean "be aware"] by me, and heartily I require you all to pray for me and to forgive me if I have offended you; and I forgive you all, and G.o.d save the King!" According to the account in the reliable contemporary chronicle written by Charles Wriothesley, Rochford told the a.s.sembled people, "Masters all, I am come hither not to preach and make a sermon, but to die as the law hath found me, and to the law I submit me, desiring you all, and specially you, my masters of the court, that you will trust on G.o.d specially, and not on the vanities of the world; for if I had so done, I think I had been alive as ye be now. Also I desire you to help to the setting forth of the true word of G.o.d, and whereas I am slandered by it, I have been diligent to read it and set it forth truly; but if I had been as diligent to observe it, and done and lived thereafter, as I was to read it and set it forth, I had not come hereto, wherefore I beseech you all to be workers and live thereafter, and not to read it and live not thereafter.

He prayed G.o.d, and he prayed the King, to pardon his offenses; and all others whom he might have injured, he also prayed them to forgive him as heartily as he forgave everyone. He bade his hearers avoid the vanities of the world and the flatteries of the court, which had brought him to the shameful end that had overtaken him. Had he obeyed the lessons of that Gospel which he had so often read, he said he should not have fallen so far; it was worth more to be a good doer than a good reader. Finally, he forgave those who had adjudged him to die, and he desired them [the people] to pray for his soul."The Portuguese account, written on June 10, has Rochford saying: "From my mishap, ye may learn not to set your thoughts upon the vanities of this world, and least of all upon the flatteries of the court and the favors and treacheries of Fortune, which only raiseth men aloft that, with so much the greater force, she may dash them again upon the ground." Excerpta Historica (LP Excerpta Historica (LP 1107) 1107)In another version of his speech, Rochford declared: "I was a great reader and a mighty debater of the Word of G.o.d, and one of those who most favored the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Wherefore, lest the Word of G.o.d should be brought into reproach on my account, I now tell you all, sirs, that if I had in very deed kept His holy word, even as I read and reasoned about it with all the strength of my wit, certain am I that I should not be in the piteous condition wherein I now stand. Truly and diligently did I read the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but I turned not to profit that which I did read; the which, had I done, of a surety I had not fallen into so great errors. Wherefore I do beseech you all, for the love of our Lord G.o.d, that ye do at all seasons hold by the truth, and speak it and embrace it; for beyond all peradventure, better profiteth he who readeth not and yet doeth well, than he who readeth much and yet liveth in sin." (LP) (LP)According to the author of the "Spanish Chronicle," Rochford said, "I beg you pray to G.o.d for me, for by the trial I have to pa.s.s through I am blameless, and never even knew that my sister was bad. Guiltless as I am, I pray G.o.d to have mercy on my soul." This version was almost certainly fabricated.George Constantine, far more concise, wrote that Rochford, after exhorting his companions to "die courageously" and the crowd to "live according to the Gospel, not in preaching, but in practice," said "words to the effect that he had rather had a good liver according to the Gospel than ten babblers." He added, "I desire you that no man will be discouraged from the Gospel by my fall. For if I had lived according to the Gospel, as I loved it and spake of it, I had never come to this. As for mine offenses, I cannot prevail you to hear them that I die here for, but I beseech G.o.d that I may be an example to you all."Chapuys, who, perhaps deliberately, misinterpreted Rochford's statements about religion, reported that he "disclaimed all that he was charged with, confessing, however, that he had deserved death for having been so much contaminated, and having contaminated others, with these new sects, and he prayed everyone to abandon such heresies." (LP) (LP) Chapuys later informed Dr. Ortiz that Rochford (whom Ortiz, in his report of June 11, confused with Norris, "the princ.i.p.al gentleman of the King's Chamber") "said a great deal about the justice of his death, and that a favored servant ought not to flatter his prince and consent to his desires, as he had done." Chapuys later informed Dr. Ortiz that Rochford (whom Ortiz, in his report of June 11, confused with Norris, "the princ.i.p.al gentleman of the King's Chamber") "said a great deal about the justice of his death, and that a favored servant ought not to flatter his prince and consent to his desires, as he had done." (LP) (LP) It cannot have been Norris who uttered these words because according to the eyewitness accounts, he did not have "a great deal" to say on the scaffold.

While rejecting the speeches that the author of the "Spanish Chronicle" put into the mouths of the condemned, which he may not have been able to hear, we might yet accept his claim that three strokes were needed to behead Rochford, which any bystander could plainly have seen.47 Froude, Note D in Thomas Froude, Note D in Thomas (LP (LP 911) 911)48 Ibid Ibid49 Lofts Lofts50 Warnicke Warnicke51 Carles Carles52 Constantine Constantine53 SC SC54 Brysson Morrison Brysson Morrison55 Froude, Note D in Thomas Froude, Note D in Thomas (LP (LP 911) 911)56 LP LP57 Abbott Abbott58 Wriothesley Wriothesley59 Bayley Bayley60 Wriothesley; Carles Wriothesley; Carles61 Abbott.

Wyatt family tradition had it that, on the scaffold, Anne gave the prayer book she was carrying to Margaret Wyatt, who thereafter always wore it on a chain in her bosom (Strickland). It is sometimes claimed that this prayer book was the illuminated "Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary," which had been made for Anne in 1528 in France, and which she inscribed: 1107). Wyatt family tradition had it that, on the scaffold, Anne gave the prayer book she was carrying to Margaret Wyatt, who thereafter always wore it on a chain in her bosom (Strickland). It is sometimes claimed that this prayer book was the illuminated "Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary," which had been made for Anne in 1528 in France, and which she inscribed: Remember me when you do pray, that hope doth lead from day to day Remember me when you do pray, that hope doth lead from day to day. This book is now on display at Anne's former family home, Hever Castle in Kent.However, this cannot have been the prayer book Anne is said to have given to Margaret Wyatt, which was preserved in the latter's family for generations, and was shown in 1721 to the engraver and antiquary George Vertue by its then owner, Mr. George Wyatt of Charterhouse Square, London. It was also mentioned in Horace Walpole's Miscellaneous Antiquities Miscellaneous Antiquities, printed at Strawberry Hill in 1772. In 1817, George Wyatt's editor, Samuel Singer, claimed that the Wyatt prayer book was in the possession of the publisher Robert Triphook, who himself produced another edition of Wyatt's memoirs of Anne Boleyn, which was privately printed in that year. However, the description of Triphook's book differs from that of the Wyatt prayer book, which was then still in the family's possession.The Wyatt prayer book is now Stowe ma.n.u.script 956 in the British Library. It is bound in pure, richly chased gold enameled in black, in an intricate pattern, and closely resembles one of Holbein's designs for jewelry and goldsmiths' work, having the same arabesque ornaments. It measures not quite two inches in length and just over an inch and a half in width, and has a ring for threading through a neck chain or girdle. Small as it is, it contains 104 leaves of vellum, on which are inscribed metrical versions of twelve abridged psalms by the Tudor lawyer and writer John Croke. Tiny prayer books like this one had been given by Anne Boleyn, in happier days, to all her ladies, as aids to devotion.It is not inconceivable that Holbein himself designed this example for Anne Boleyn, although far more likely that it was commissioned for the Wyatts, as his original drawing shows the initials T.W.I., which are missing from the prayer book binding. These initials suggest that the prayer book was made to mark the marriage of the poet Wyatt's son, another Thomas Wyatt, to Jane Haute in 1537, a theory borne out by that indefatigable researcher George Wyatt's failure to mention it in his account of Anne Boleyn. Nor is it mentioned in the family memorials compiled by his descendant, Richard Wyatt, in 1727.The tale of Anne giving the prayer book to Margaret Wyatt would appear to arise from a misreading of the first-recorded mention of the book in George Vertue's ma.n.u.scripts; in his "Notes on Fine Arts" (1745) he says he saw in the possession of Richard Wyatt "a most curious little prayer book ma.n.u.script on vellum, set in gold, ornaments graved gold, enameled black-such as were given to Queen Anne Boleyn's maids-of-honor-and was thus given to one of the Wyatt family, and has been preserved for seven generations to this time." This only states that Anne gave such books to her ladies-which is attested elsewhere-and that she gave one to a lady of the Wyatt family who served her. No mention is made of this gift being given on the scaffold, and that circ.u.mstance seems to have been inferred by later writers. There is also no record of any lady of the Wyatt family serving Anne Boleyn as a maid-of-honor. Jane Haute pa.s.sed on what she knew of Anne Boleyn to her son George Wyatt, so if she knew anything about a prayer book, he would surely have recorded it.
