Canon Richard Dixon's "History of the Church of England, Vol. 2," 58ff.

Trial and probable execution of Anthony Brown, another non-compliant Observant (59). Other victims (60). According to Dixon, “Cranmer is the official of the new loyalty” (61). His difficult position. (61). Dr. Cranmer’s quarrel with a Kentish justice about the Bishops' Book or Institution of a Christian Man—this would be a ballgame with extra innings. He bickered with the Convent of Christ Church, Canterbury (63). He suggested that the blood of St. Thomas of Canterbury be examined. The splendor of the shrine of Canterbury is described and illustrated (64). A worshipful visit paid to it in Archbishop Warham's time by Erasmus and Colet— a picture of the old religion of large relic worship (65). Contrasted with the last visit on record, which was paid to it in this year by a Frenchwoman—who is not worshipful (68). Henry's war against the cult of St. Thomas (69). The shine was destroyed—carts upon carts of jewels and more are carted back to Lodon (70). St. Thomas proclaimed a traitor for defying his king (71). All memorials of him ordered to be obliterated. The destruction of all shrines throughout England is ordered up. (72). History of the English Bible (74). Grafton and Coverdale sent to Paris to prepare a new edition of their version. A rival spring edition is printed in Southwark. Somewhat impudent letter of Grafton to Crumwel (75). The new edition seized by the French Inquisition-machine in Paris (76). But a new issue is ready and published (77). This was the Great Bible or Bible of the “largest volume.”
