1.     CHAPTER I. Anno 1553. Queen Mary was soon recognized as Queen over Lady Jane Grey. The archbishop's and counsellors' concern with the lady Jane, meeting in the Tower, and resolve to support “Queen Jane.” This falls apart fast. Several fold on 20 July 1553, declaring for Queen Mary and write to Northumberland to lay down his arms. The queen owned by the ambassadors. The archbishop was immediately, within the month, slandered by hot mouths. The archbishop is misreported to have said the Romanist Mass at Canterbury. Dr. Cranmer imputes the falsity to a “false, flattering, lying monk, Dr. Thornden” whom Cranmer noted was a title-mongerer of little academic ability and whose sermons were chaotic—he loved the “glorious titles, monk, doctor, vice-dean and suffragan” (14). Further, it was bruited abroad that Dr. Cranmer would sing the Mass and requiem at the funeral for Edward VI. Dr. Cranmer makes a public declaration against the false, bruited imputation of re-establishing the insufficient, half-satisfactional, Romanist Mass (our words). Dr. Vermigli is in residence with Dr. Cranmer and Dr. Cranmer offers up the opportunity to debate the Articles of Religion and the Prayer-Book to all comers. Dr. Cranmer offers himself, Dr. Vermigli and 3-4 others to oppose 5-6 of the opposition. The declaration is given by Rev. Strype and is a good read. The declaration is remanded to the Queen’s Council. Dr. Cranmer is ordered to appears before the commissioners at Paul's and before the council, 13 Sept 1553. The archbishop of York is committed to the Tower and his (vast) goods are seized at Battersea and at Cawood. The pillage is extensive and is offered as a prelude to Dr. Cranmer’s forfeitures. In the meanwhile, Dr. Cranmer is under house arrest and then to the Tower. Wily Winchester, Steve Gardiner, preaches before King Philip and Queen Mary at St. Philip's, opining about York and Canterbury. 1-22
