From The Sadness of Christ:
Here have I occasion to lament and bewail the blindness of our miserable mortal nature. For many
times while we are in most trouble and fear, though we know it not, be we in most surety. And
contrariwise, ofttimes while we reckon ourselves surest and make most merry, then unwares stealeth
death even suddenly on us. All the apostles save Judas were very sore afraid, reckoning to have been
carried away and put to death with Christ. And yet were they all in case safely to escape, whereas Judas
on the other side which nothing feared at all, but took a special pleasure to see them so afflicted, lost his
life for ever and that in few hours after.
In the time of Henry VIII, no one could ever be really secure in their life.
