"That unworthy hand."
I am not aware that the fact of Cranmer's holding his right hand in the
flames till it was consumed has been questioned. Fox says:
"He stretched forth his right hand into the flames, and there held it
so stedfast that all the people might see it burnt to a coal before his
body was touched."--P. 927. ed. Milner, London, 1837, 8vo.
