- ↑ 'There but for the grace of God go I' is an idiomatic expression of unknown origin that is often attributed to John Bradford, who while observing a group of prisoners being led away to be executed, allegedly said: 'There but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford.' In 1655 he became one of 280 people burned at the stake in the Tower of London for religious dissent by Queen Mary Tudor (aka as 'Bloody Mary').
