Soldiers forcibly march a group of old and young men and women who have been tied together. As they pass by on their journey to London for interrogation by Bishop Edmund Bonner, a figure looks down from the window of a dilapidated building. A cartouche above the prisoners displays the following verse in the first edition (1563): "Beholde moe shepe hereby, / Addrest to Boners stall: / Whose thursty throte so dry, / For more bloude styll dothe call." [Behold more sheep hereby, / Addressed to Bonner's stall: / Whose thirsty throat so dry, / For more blood still doth call."]. This text underwent modulation in subsequent editions. The woodcut appears in the first through fourth editions (1563, 1570, 1576, and 1583). Luborsky and Ingram 11222/48, 11223/95. JPEG file (1.01 MB).
