Christ's second

edit

Is "Latimer's belief in Christ's return" really remarkable enough for a special section, given that it's a basic doctrine held by the vast majority of Christians? It's like having a section called "Latimer's belief in God". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.8.98 (talk) 17:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fahrenheit 451

edit

Would it be appropriate to mention that the quote "Play the man, Master Ridley" is in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury? If so, could it be added here? I don't have time to do it myself, but if someone else did, that would be okay. 216.252.2.78 (talk) 23:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I think it would probably be out of place here. However, it may be useful to add it to Fahrenheit 451 or to Ray Bradbury, particularly if we can find a reliable source to clarify what Bradbury meant by the allusion. Verbcatcher (talk) 23:30, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Prolocutor's response needs explanation

edit

This needs to be explained in modern language:

"After the sentence had been pronounced, Latimer added, 'I thank God most heartily that He hath prolonged my life to this end, that I may in this case glorify God by that kind of death'; to which the prolocutor replied, 'If you go to heaven in this faith, then I will never come hither, as I am thus persuaded.'"

Is the "prolocuter" Latimer's prosecutor (as the anecdote might imply - "if you go to heaven, then I won't, as our views are opposite"), or his advocate (as the word "prolocuter" implies)?
