The original quote was
"But for the grace of God there goes John Bradford"
made by him (c. 1510 - 55) when he saw a group of criminals being led to their execution.
He was an English Protestant martyr.
It is usually quoted as
"There but for the grace of God go I"

I also could be in that terrible situation, as in Seeing him with two flat tires on the highway, she said "There but for the grace of God go I." This expression has been attributed to John Bradford, who so remarked on seeing criminals being led to their execution (c. 1553) and who in fact was executed himself as a heretic a few years later. A number of religious leaders, including John Bunyan, have been credited with it as well.

This most likely comes from John Bradford (1510(?)-1555), an English protestant martyr, who is quoted as saying "But for the grace of God, there goes John Bradford." whenever he saw criminals being led off to their execution.
Hope this helps.

I can't remember, but it spoken by a witness of an execution (beheading). Probably one of the cardinals of Henry VIII's time.
