“They were written contrary to the truth which I thought in my heart, and written for fear of death, to save my life…As for that recantation, I repent it right sore because I knew it was against the truth. And forasmuch as I have written many things contrary to what I believe in my heart, my hand shall first be punished. This is the hand that wrote it, and therefore it shall suffer first punishment.”-Thomas Cranmer
