ustify himself, his victim
might at least be released from unjust imprisonment. The case was referred
to the king: and by the king and the House of Commons Philips was set at
liberty.

[562] On which occasion, old relations perhaps shook their heads, and made
objection to the expense. Some such feeling is indicated in the following
glimpse behind the veil of Latimer's private history:--

"I was once called to one of my kinsfolk," he says ("it was at that time
when I had taken my degree at Cambridge); I was called, I say, to one of my
kinsfolk which was very sick, and died immediately after my coming. Now,
there was an old cousin of mine, which, after the man was dead, gave me a
wax candle in my hand, and commanded me to make certain crosses over him
that was dead; for she thought the devil should run away by and bye. Now, I
took the candle, but I could not cross him as she would have me to do; for
I had never seen it before. She, perceiving I could not do it, with great
anger took the candle out of my hand, saying, 'It is pity that thy father
spendeth so much money upon thee;' and so she took the candle, and crossed
and blessed him; so that he was sure enough."--LATIMER'S _Sermons_, p. 499.

[563] "I was as obstinate a papist as any was in England, insomuch that,
when I should be made Bachelor of Divinity, my whole oration went against
Philip Melancthon and his opinions."--LATIMER'S _Sermons_, p. 334.
