Gesta Regis Henrici 1189. 04 Sep 1189. The next day, when the king heard of these events, he sent his servants throughout the city to apprehend some of the wrongdoers and present them to him. Three of them were hanged by judicial order: one for theft committed against a Christian, and the other two for having committed arson in the city, resulting in the burning of Christian houses. The king then sent for the man who had recently converted from Judaism to Christianity, in the presence of those who had witnessed his baptism. He questioned him to confirm whether he had truly become a Christian. The man replied, "No," but said he had allowed himself to be baptized by Christians to escape death. The king then asked the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the presence of many other archbishops and bishops, what should be done with him. The archbishop, less discreetly than he should have been, answered, "If he does not wish to be a man of God, let him be a man of the devil." Thus, the man who had been a Christian reverted to Judaism.

Insequenti die cum rex audisset hæc fieri, missis servientibus suis per civitatem, fecit comprehendi quosdam malefactorum illorum et sibi præsentari. Tres vero illorum per judicium curie suspensi sunt in patibulo: unus quia furtum fecerat in re cujusdam Christiani; duo quia incendium fecerant in civitate, unde domus Christianorum combustee sunt. Deinde misit rex pro viro illo qui jam de Judeeo factus fuerat Christianus, preesentibus illis qui viderant baptizare eum; et interrogavit eum, si esset Christianus effectus. Ipse vero respondit "Non," sed ut mortem evaderet permisit sibi fieri a Christianis quod volebant. Tunc interrogavit rex archiepiscopum Cantuariensem, praesentibus multis archiepiscopis et episcopis, quid esset de illo faciendum. Respondit archiepiscopus minus discrete quam deberet dicens, "Si ipse homo Dei esse non vult, sit homo diaboli," et sic reversus est ille qui fuerat Christianus ad legem Judaicam.
