Stephen Gardiner, Cranmer’s theological opponent, would receive a “state funeral” and would be buried in a “splendid tomb” in Winchester Cathedral.  Mr. Cranmer, to the flames in 1556, would have his ashes tossed into a ditch outside the walls of Oxford.  However, we have located Mr. Bale’s The Image of Two Churches edited by Ms. Gretchen E.

The Parker edition has a lovely biography on Mr. Bale.  Mr. Bale was a fellow student at Jesus College with Mr. Cranmer.  He says this of Mr. Cranmer’s tutelage and time in leadership:



In the midst of Babylon, he always acted as the upright leader of the people of Israel, and among the Papist tyrants he guided, with unheard of wisdom, the people of God to the truth of Christ, lest they should become the prey of the foxes.

Bradford, was born at Hereford in 1750, the son of a clothier, educated at Hereford grammar school, and at Wadham College, Oxford, where he took the degree of B.A. On leaving college he accepted a curacy at Frilsham in Berkshire,[1] where he married when twenty-eight years of age, and had a family of twelve children. About this time his religious opinions became decidedly Calvinistic, and he preached in several of Lady Huntingdon's chapels. On account of this irregularity the rector discharged him from his curacy. He then joined the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion, and, after spending some time in South Wales, removed to Birmingham, and preached with great popularity in the old playhouse, which the countess had purchased and made into a chapel for him. Subsequently he left the connection of the countess for a new chapel in Bartholomew Street, supplementing his small income by making watch-chains. Not being successful, he removed to London in 1797, and preached till his death in the City Chapel, Grub Street. He died 16 July 1805, and was buried in Bunhill Fields. Some account of his life is given in an octavo volume, chiefly controversial, by his successor, William Wales Home.

In 1679, Mr. Burnet says:  “…as eminent virtues, and as few faults in him as in any prelate, that has been in the Christian Church for many ages.”  In 1715, he nuances this with: “…if it had not been for Cranmer’s too feeble compliance in King Henry’s time, and the last inexcusable slip, he might well be proposed as one of the greatest patterns of history.”

            From the Back. English break from Rome in 1529 was precipitated by the marital difficulties of the sovereign. A leading item in the Reform agenda in Europe had been and continued to be the reform of marriage laws. Yet Henry persisted in obtaining a sanction for his divorce and remarriage from the Church, and throughout the sixteenth century the people of England continued to defer to the ecclesiastical courts and to canon law in almost all matters relating to marriage.

            The difference between the Reformation in England and in Continental Europe has long been a matter of argument among historians. In exploring the reasons for the persistence of pre-Reformation marital conventions in England, Eric Carlson throws fresh light on the issue as well as on the nature of the relations between sovereign, church, state and people in Tudor England.

            Dr Carlson describes the medieval canon law of marriage and its application in England, and the changing relationship between the English Crown and church during the Middle Ages. In so doing he provides a solution to the key question of the English Reformation - whether it resulted from authoritative action from above or by popular demand from below. This is, then, a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the development of English society at a turning point in its history.

Cobbett, William. History of the English Reformation in England and Ireland.  Charlotte, NC: Tan Book and Publishers, 1999.  This is a virulent anti-Cranmer book published in 1829.  The reviewer says this:  “William Cobbett was born in 1763 at Surrey, England.  An author, farmer and journalist, he yearned for something more than his simple country life could afford, and became intimately familiar with the English language while enlisted with Nova Scotia.  Noted for his efforts which served as a preamble to the Reform Bill of 1832, as well as his aversion to authority and novelty, Mr. Cobbett is most famous for his `Rural Rides,’ which was printed in 1830.  He also composed `A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland,” which amounts to a thrilling and accurate portrayal of the untold disasters of the times during the Reform.  He died on the eighteenth of June, 1835, at the age of seventy-two.”  The hardcopy is available here:  http://www.amazon.com/History-Protestant-Reformation-England-Ireland/dp/0895553538/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375918535&sr=8-1&keywords=William+Cobbett+history+of+the+protestant+reformation   It is available online at:  http://books.google.com/books?id=klw0RBILtmAC&pg=PT257&dq=william+cobbett+history+of+the+protestant+reformation&hl=en&sa=X&ei=u9sCUtjZNMWw4AOuzID4Cg&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=william%20cobbett%20history%20of%20the%20protestant%20reformation&f=false

“The First Volume contains the period from the Fall of Wolsey to the end of the Pilgrimage of Grace. It gives for the first time the whole history of the struggle between the King, aided by the Parliament, and the Clergy, which ended with the submission of the latter. It contains the various acts by which the Roman jurisdiction was ended: the fullest account of the troubles of More, Fisher, Houghton, and others under the new acts of Supreme Head and verbal treason. The examination of the evidence on which the religious houses are commonly believed to have been condemned, the first part of the Monastic Suppression, and the Pilgrimage of Grace, are among the chief contents of this volume: and of the whole work it is a principal feature to afford a sufficient treatment of the various visitations, injunctions, articles, and formularies that appeared in the course of the Reformation.”

“The Second Volume continues and concludes, from the former volume, the history of the Monastic Suppression, an event which has never before been treated in a consecutive manner. It exhibits fully, for the first time, the various negotiations between Henry and the Protestants; and for ihe first time divides by their years and assigns to their causes the religious persecutions of Henry's later years. It embraces the Irish Reformation, and the affairs of Scotland and of the Continent, as they affected England: it gives a full account of the compilation of the Third English Confession, which it compares with the Second: it traces the Liturgic Reformation to the point at which it arrived within the period. The volume is furnished with an Index to the two first volumes.”

Short and incomplete as my account of these events is, it will, I hope, draw attention to certain aspects of the period between 1527 and 1536 which have not hitherto been sufficiently explained. The sources from which I have derived my materials may be roughly divided into five great classes. First of all, there is the English correspondence of Henry, his ministers, and his subordinate agents, with sundry proclamations, accounts, treaties, and similar papers. Secondly, there is the correspondence of Charles V., of his aunt, sister, and brother, and of his ministers, a good deal of which relates to E. They did not finish the paragraph here.

In this first role, he was responsible for advancing the cause of Henry's divorce with Pope Clement VII, and remained a Roman Catholic throughout the reformations led by Henry and his son, Edward VI. His surviving letters, including those to Henry from Rome and to friends on the outside during his period of imprisonment in the Tower of London, are collected in this volume, which was first published in 1933 and edited by James Arthur Muller. This book will be of value to any Tudor historian either amateur or professional.”

----------English Reformations: Religion, Politics, and Society under the Tudors. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1993. English Reformations takes a refreshing new approach to the study of the Reformation in England. Christopher Haigh's lively and readable study disproves any facile assumption that the triumph of Protestantism was inevitable, and goes beyond the surface of official political policy to explore the religious views and practices of ordinary English people. With the benefit of hindsight, other historians have traced the course of the Reformation as a series of events inescapably culminating in the creation of the English Protestant establishment. Haigh sets out to recreate the sixteenth century as a time of excitement and insecurity, with each new policy or ruler causing the reversal of earlier religious changes. This is a scholarly and stimulating book, which challenges traditional ideas about the Reformation and offers a powerful and convincing alternative analysis. http://www.amazon.com/English-Reformations-Religion-Politics-Society/dp/0198221622/ref=pd_cp_b_2

In 1827, Mr. Hallam said:

“If casting away all prejudice on either side, we weigh the character of this prelate in equal balance, he will appear far indeed removed from the turpitude imputed to him by his enemies, yet not entitled to any extraordinary veneration.  Though it is most eminently true of Cranmer that his faults were always the effect of circumstances, and not of intention, yet this palliating consideration is rather weakened when we recollect that he consented to place himself in a station where those circumstances occurred.

A standard recitation of transubstantiation, saints’ invocation, clerical celibacy and reduction of (an alleged) advance of the definition of faith and justification made by Cranmer with early Lutheran diplomats in London. Also, good doses of religious uniformity are dispensed. This much, Cranmer, despite Henry’s protection, is an object of enmity from a concert of pro-Papist reactionaries and sectaries.

Littledale, R.F. Innovations: a lecture delivered in the Assembly Rooms, Liverpool, April 23rd 1868. Oxford and London, 1868.  We could not locate this.  But Dublin Review contains this commentary at:  http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA561&dq=R.F.+Littledale+Innovations&ei=q-0CUrCmOta04APCnoCYCA&id=ayAYAQAAIAAJ&output=text

Innovations. A Lecture delivered at Liverpool by R. F. Littledale, LL.D., D.C.L. London : Simpkin, Marshall, & Co.

DR. LITTLEDALE is well known as a leading Ritualist, and this is a most lively and spirited brochure. The author indeed would hardly profess, we suppose, that he intends all his statements "au pied de la lettre": such, e. g., as that no Anglican clergyman is an honest man who does not recite the Prayer-Book service regularly twice a day (p. 23) ; or that C'ranmer is "the most infamous personage in English history, compared with whom John Plantagenet and Henry Tudor have light shades in their characters " (p. 36); or that to deny the communion of saints is no less malignant an error than to deny a future life (p. 35). Still it will be easy for his readers in each case to take off the necessary discount; and we have nowhere seen the misdeeds of the Anglican Reformers at once so briefly and so effectively exhibited as in Dr. Littledale's various notes.

We append a few spicy passages, to whet our reader's appetite for the whole.

"A Church which could produce in its highest ranks such a set of miscreants as the leading English and Scottish Reformers, must have been in a perfectly rotten state" (p. 15).

"Robespierre, Danton, Marat .... merit quite as much respect as Cranmer, Ridley, Latimer" (ib.).

"That young tiger-cub Edward VI." (p. 17).

"That frivolous old heathen Lord Palmerston " (p. 21).

"The Broad Church party, as a party, will nether believe anything nor do anything; .... it is about as useful for propagating Christianity as the Board of Trade is " (p. 20).

The Irish Establishment "does less work and inspires less affection than any religious body of its size in the world" (p. 28).

"We," the Ritualists, "don't mean to be quiet, and we don't mean to secede, and we don't mean to be put down" (ib.).

"Cranmer and his accomplices founded the Church of England just as William Lloyd made the Portland Vase: that is, they did not break and shatter it so completely as to prevent honest men from repairing it" (p. 62).

By the early 19th century, two biographers would cross swords—it would appear—in a rehash and a reworking of the old views, Romewardizing v. Protestantizing.  The disputants in this 19th century go-around would be Mr. John Lingard v. Mr. Henry John Todd.

Mr. Lingard, according to Mr. Ridley, reportedly rehashes the old Romanist attitudes and arguments put forward earlier by Misters Harpsfield and Sanders.  To wit: the consecration oath, Mr. John Lambert’s burning at the stake, the recantation and related issues. Mr. Ridley thinks Mr. Lingard is a mere rehash.  Further review is warranted.

The story of Henry VIII and his six wives has passed from history into legend taught in the cradle as a cautionary tale and remembered in adulthood as an object lesson in the dangers of marrying into royalty. The true story behind the legend, however, remains obscure to most people, whose knowledge of the affair begins and ends with the aide memoire 'Divorced, executed, died, divorced, executed, survive1d'. David Loades' masterly book recounts Henry's whole sorry tale in detail from his first marriage, to his brother s widow Catherine of Aragon, to his more or less contented old age in the care of the motherly Catherine Parr.

Two other biographers appear between 1556-1559:  Becon, Thomas or a certain Mr. Scory.  In the Narratives of the Reformation, it is either Becon or Scory who author the first of two anonymous biographies.  No one has ventured a guess on the second biography.  Some, like Foxe, thought Ralph Morice, Cranmer’s personal secretary, was the author of the second biography.  More to follow on this guess.

Nearly eighty women have sat on the throne of England, either as queen regnant or queen consort and the voices of all of them survive through their own writings and those of their contemporaries. The primary role of the queen over the ages was to provide an heir. Catherine of Aragon found this to her cost, divorced by Henry VIII for failing to produce a healthy son. The birth of an heir was also a route to power for a queen and Eleanor of Aquitaine became the most powerful woman in Europe during the reigns of her sons.

Strong relationships could also develop between the queens and their husbands. Edward VIII even abandoned his throne when forced to choose between the crown and his lover, Wallis Simpson. Not all marriages were happy and queens such as Isabella of France and Catherine Howard took lovers to escape their marriages. The unhappy Sophia Dorothea of Celle was imprisoned for over thirty years by her husband George I when her affair was discovered. Her lover, Count von Konigsmarck was murdered. Most queens made arranged marriages and were used by their families to build alliances. Some queens were able to break away from this control. Queen Victoria spent her childhood secluded with her overprotective mother, even sharing the same bedroom until the day when she was proclaimed queen and finally freed herself from her mother’s control.

----------Thomas Cranmer's Doctrine of Repentance: Renewing the Power to Love. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008. Available at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmers-Doctrine-Repentance-Renewing/dp/0199210004.  Although Thomas Cranmer was a key participant in the changes to English life brought about by the Reformation, his reticent nature and lack of extensive personal writings have left a vacuum that in the past has too often been filled by scholarly prejudice or presumption. This volume examines little used manuscript sources to reconstruct Cranmer's theological development on the crucial Protestant doctrine of justification. Ashley Null explores Cranmer's cultural heritage, why he would have been attracted to Luther's thought, and then provides convincing evidence for the Reformed Protestant Augustinianism which Cranmer enshrined in the formularies of the Church of England.



Editorial Reviews



`Review from previous edition There is no doubt that the book will be an excellent source for undergraduate students of the English reformations with a special interest in the development of the doctrine of repentance.' Dutch Review of Church History

`Scholars of all disciplines will find the book's review of early Tudor penitential theology both accurate and engaging ... Churchmen will be refreshed by a work that treats the themes of justification, election, and anthropology as serious, theological matters still worthy of discussion and debate today. Reformation scholars will welcome what may be Null's most significant contribution: an excellent scholarly description and analysis of Cranmer's commonplace books, among other manuscript sources.' Journal of Religious History

`Ashley Null with great industry has effected an impressive reconstruction of the development of Cranmer's doctrine of repentance ... Ashley Null's book is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of Thomas Cranmer's soteriology.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History

`This is a scholarly and learned work, fresh and original. Null has exhausted all source material, some unpublished, and makes a significant contribution to Cranmer studies. He displays an informed, critical judgement, and reaches sound conclusions. His scholarly and helpful footnotes, most of them translated into English, are a valuable feature of the work, lending it authority and colour ... helpful summaries at the end of each chapter, and a most informative concluding summary of the whole book.' ANVIL

`A most important work.' Expository Times

Ochino, Bernardino. Seven Dialogues (Renaissance and Reformation Texts in Translation 3). Doverhouse Editions, 1988. Available at amazon.com. MacCulloch (Cranmer, 150) cites a dialogue with three characters: Henry, Cranmer and a Papist with Cranmer issuing a “knock-down case” that the Pope is the Anti-Christ. Cranmer had begun a sermon series on 6 Feb 1536 during the Parliamentary session on the Pope as Anti-Christ. Lord Chancellor Audley and assembled clergy of Convocation attended. MacCulloch indicates that only Tyndale had put that into print and that Cranmer maintained this proposition “until his collapse” under Mary. Also, in MacCulloch’s Edward VI, he notes that Edward VI used in an argument against the Pope, that Antichrist.

In earlier communications, we have noted that Elizabeth 1 directed Cecil and Mr. (abc) Parker to gather up all correspondence and writings of Mr. Cranmer. She said, “Forasmuch as such a rare and precious treasure we think it not to be kept in secret oblivion, as a candle under a bush.”  See the Parker Society series:  Parker, Matthew. De Antiquitate Brittanica.   Mr. Ralph Morice spoke with Mr. Parker noting that he knew of many private and person situations with Mr. Cranmer.  Mr. Morice also spoke with Mr. Foxe about Cranmer and availed him of varied stories. We were unable to locate the De Antiquitate although Mr. Parker refers to his efforts in his letters.  One interesting discovery is an ancient Saxon manuscript of the Bible that was “well worn” from use.   Mr. Parker observes that the Bible was in the Saxon tongue and in use before the Vulgate’s dominion. Mr. John Strype alludes to De Antiquitate as well. He includes a favorable review of Mr. Cranmer.

Mr. Parson’s will follow the Sander-Roman-line attack of Cranmer’s mutability, Vol. 11, 373:  “…it was his nature, then and ever after, to run after the times.”

Other arguments were: (1) Mr. Cranmer famously and repeatedly insinuated, as the Chaplain to Ann Boleyn, that Mr. (king Henry) Tudor was never lawfully married to Catherine of Aragon, (2) Mr. Cranmer had perjuried himself in his consecration oath, (3) Mr. Cranmer was a “moral lecher” being married twice and supporting clerical marriages, (4) Mr. Cranmer was guilty of high treason to the lawful Queen by his support of Lady Jane Grey, and (5) Mr. Cranmer was guilty of doctrinal permutations or mutations as indexed to royal impulses as an opportunist, time-server and proto-Vicar of Bray (the last being our term).

A side digression to Mr. Lambert. Mr. Lambert was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, the home to Mr. Erasmus. He was made a fellow upon the nomination of Catherine of Aragon. After theological disputes he changed his name, went to Antwerp, and served as priest to an English factory. He became friends with John Frith and William Tyndale, proto-Reformers. There are reported, but as of yet, unverified, contacts with the White Horse Inn.  Upon return in 1531, Lambert came under Mr. (archbishop) William Warham’s scrutiny, but he died in 1532. Lambert then earned his living teaching Greek and Latin near the Stock markets. In 1536 he was accused of heresy by the Duke of Norfolk. He escaped until 1538.  Then he was caught and and put on trial for denying the real presence of Christ, or, transubstantiation, in the bread and wine of the Mass.  Mr. Thomas Cranmer condemned these views although he later adopted them himself.  1556 will be Mr. Cranmer’s turn at the stake.

Mr. Sander’s point, 180-182, is as follows:

Cranmer himself had been a Henrician, that is a follower of Henry VIII, from whose instructions he never dared to depart even a hair’s breadth in anything…But when the King died, Cranmer ceased to be a Henrician and became wholly a Lutheran, knowing at the same time that Henry had been a most earnest opponent of Luther…But a few month had hardly gone by when the miserable man found out that the Protector of the King, the Duke of Somerset, was a Calvinist, not a Lutheran.  What was he to do? He recasts the catechism, changes his language, and he who was a Henrician, then a Lutheran, becomes a Calvinist.”

They are Mr. (rev) John Strype (1694) and Mr. (bp) Gilbert Burnet (1679).  Mr. Burnet’s view of Cranmer is, allegedly, not as laudatory as Mr. Strype’s.  Mr. Burnet wrote shortly after the “excitements of revolutionary politics.”  Mr. Strype did as well.

In 1694, Mr. John Strype speaks of “the first Protestant Archbishop of this Kingdom and the greatest instrument under God of the happy Reformation of the Church of England.”  Repeatedly, Mr. Strype calls Mr. Cranmer “the good Archbishop.”  Of note, acclamations of “Protestant,” “Archbishop”, and the “Happy Reformation” are connected to the Church of England.

Although Anne Boleyn is perhaps the most engaging of Henry VIII's Queens, but biographies usually concentrate on the period after she became a lady in waiting at Henry VIII's court. This is the only book to tell the forgotten side of Anne early life and loves, written by the author of the best-selling Mary Boleyn: Henry VIII's Favourite Mistress. For her he would divorce his wife of some twenty years standing, he would take on the might of the Roman Church and the Holy Roman Empire; he would even alienate his own people in order to win her favor and, eventually, her hand. But before Henry came into her life Anne Boleyn had already wandered down love's winding path. She had learned its twists and turns during her youth spent at the courts of the Low Countries and France, where she had been sent as a result of her scandalous behavior with her father's butler and chaplain. Here her education had been directed by two of the strongest women of the age - and one of the weakest. A well-loved area of English history, the Tudors have grown further in popularity due to the BBC TV show The Tudors whose the final 4th series has just run early in the spring reaching audiences of 3 million viewers in the UK and more in the USA.

Amazon.com says this about Mr. Zahl's volume.  "This volume tells a story that is virtually unknown today: The Protestant background and history of Anglican Christianity. Through a fascinating exploration of the development of Anglicanism and its wider Protestant context, Paul Zahl attempts to show-contrary to the opinion of many present-day "Anglican writers"-that Anglicanism is not just a via media (between Rome and Geneva, for example) but has been stamped decisively by classic Protestant insights and concerns. He also discusses the implications of Anglicanism's Protestant history for our own age, suggesting that this dimension has an important contribution to make to the worldwide Christian community in the new millennium."

February 1229 A.D. Council of Toulouse--"We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament

February 1229 A.D.   Council of Toulouse-- "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament" Wohlberg, Steve. “Papal Rome Against the Bible.”   White Horse Media. N.d. http://www.whitehorsemedia.com/articles/?d=99#.VJGcA8J0xjo .   Accessed 16 Dec 2014.   From the 1200s to the 1800s, Papal leaders openly condemned the reading of the Bible in the vernacular (the language of the common people) and even persecuted those caught with copies of the Scriptures in their possession. Because Bible Societies (beginning in the 1800's) won the war and have spread God's Word around the world, Rome has backed off of its previously public position. Yet the Vatican has not changed. Papal Rome's opposition to pure Bible truth remains to this day. Note these historical statements: At the Council of Toulouse (1229 A.D), papal church leaders ruled: "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament ... We forbid them most severely ...
