John Trapp on Galatians 3:15

Verſe 15. I ſpeak after the manner] I ſet the matter forth to you by a familiar compariſon.

Though is be but a mans teſtament] William Tracy of Gloceſterſhire Eſquire, made in his Will, that he would have no funerall pomp at his burying, neither paſſed he upon a Maſſe. And he further ſaid, That he truſted in god only, and hoped by him to be ſaved, and not by any Saint. This Gentleman died, and his ſon as Executour, bought the Will to the Biſhop of Canterbury to be proved, which he ſhewed to the Convocation: and there moſt cruelly they judged that he ſhould be taken out of the ground, and be burnt as an heretick, anne 1532. Dr Parker Chancellour of Worcester executed the ſentence,Act. and Mon. 951. and was after wards lent for by King Henry 8. who laid high offence to his charge, &c. It coſt him three hundred pounds to have his pardon.
