The Sunday before Brandon died, a young man of his acquaintance, going to visit him, asked him how he did, and whether he was not troubled in conscience for cutting off the king's head? Brandon replied, Yes, because he was at the king's trial, and hear the sentence denounced against him, which caused the said Brandon to make this solemn vow or protestation, viz. 'Wishing God to perish his body and soul, if ever he appeared on the scaffold to do the act, or lift up his hand against'. And he further declared, that he was no sooner entered upon the scaffold, (to do the wicked act) but he immediately fell a trembling, and hath (ever since) to his death continued in the same agony.
He likewise confessed that he had 30 pounds for his pains, all paid him in half crowns, within half an hour after the stroke was struck: and that he had an orange stuck full of cloves, and an handkerchief out of the king's pocket.

The man that waited upon this executioner, when he gave the fatal blow was a rag-man in Rosemary-lane.
