Canon Richard Dixon's "History of the Church of England, Vol. 2," 79ff.



GREAT BIBLE ORDERED INTO 10K COE CHURCHES. LAMBERT BURNED DENYING UBIQUITARIANISM. CRANMER STAINED. The Great Bible ordered by Crumwel, in his Injunction, to be provided in all churches, ½ paid by the parson and ½ by the parish (80).  Crumwel's Injunctions of this year and their severe tone about the order of the destruction of abused images (81-32). Their regulations about ceremonies: the three lights. As to residence: licensed preachers only with a sermon once/quarter (83). Registers ordered to be kept. The Landgrave of Hesse urges the King to put down Anabaptists (85). The King burns some. Martyrdom of Lambert, who appealed from the Archbishop to the Supreme Head, 86. He was a follower of Frith. His early troubles. Principle of inquiry in ecclesiastical processes. Lambert was given into Cranmer's hands by Barnes and Taylor, two Gospellers (87). Lambert appeals to the Supreme Head who tries him in person in Whitehall before assembled bishops and peers: scandalous scene of his trial: 8 bishops assigned one proposition of persecution for eight articles (88-89). Cranmer seems more merciful than Gardiner and Stokesley. His barbarous execution at Smithfield (93). The Papal sentences and bulls against Henry. The Bull of Excommunication and Deposition prepared three years before 1538, but not published (94). Was it published now? (96). Question of publication discussed. The King kills Pole's brother Henry and the Marquis of Exeter and others of the Old Learning and puts Pole's mother under supervision (97).
