Later Captain Beatty reveals the context of the quote, explaining, "A man named Latimer said that to a man named Nicholas Ridley, as they were being burnt alive at Oxford, for heresy, on October 16, 1555." (pg. 40) This indicates the woman's willingness to die for her books, and that the reason she was being burned was for heresy just as Latimer and Ridley were. Beatty's ability to explain this also adds depth to his character, as he must have read that information to recall what it came from.
This quote is attributed to Hugh Latimer, a English Protestant martyr, who said it to Nicholas Ridley, another martyr, as they were being burned at the stake in 1555. The quote reflects their commitment to their faith and defiance in the face of persecution, showing their resolve to continue spreading their beliefs. It has since been used as a symbol of strength and determination in the face of adversity.

Beacuse he answers "Be of good cheer, Master Ridley, and play the man, for we shall this day light such a candle in England as I trust by God's grace shall never be put out."
Hugh Latimer was bishop to both the Worchester (before the reformation) as well as a bishop of the Church of England and Chaplain to King Edward VI. Latimer was burned at the stake for his beliefs and teachings under the reign of Mary I and Nicholas Ridley was his executioner. He is believed to have made this quote prior to his death.
Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley were two Protestant bishops who were burned at the stake for heresy in Oxford, England in 1555. They were executed during the reign of Queen Mary I for refusing to renounce their Protestant beliefs and conform to Roman Catholicism. This event is known as the "Oxford Martyrs."
