The following is from Spurgeon's sermon notes on the Martyrdom of Sir Walter Raleigh for his Savior, our Lord Jesus:

"When Sir Walter Raleigh had laid his head upon the block, says an eloquent divine, he was asked by the executioner whether it lay aright. Whereupon, with the calmness of a hero and the faith of a Christian, he returned an answer, the power of which we shall all feel when our head is tossing and turning on death's uneasy pillow: 'It matters little, my friend, how the head lies providing the heart is right.'" from Steel as quoted in Spurgeon's Sermon Notes
