Note 269 — The Judgment and Justice of GOD Exemplified, &c.
Reading edition
Buchanan mentions not his burial. Knox says, they gave him salt enough and a lead cap, and let him in the sea tower to see what the bishops would procure for him. Fox and Clark say, he lay {illegible} months unburied, and then like a carrion was thrown on a dunghill.—Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, made the following stanza on his death:
As for the Cardinal, I grant, He was the man we well could want, God will forgive it soon: But of a truth, the sooth to say, Altho' the Lown be well away, The fact was foully done.
