John Foxe's "Acts & Monuments, Vol. 8: Dr. Thomas Cranmer," 3ff.

"WHEREIN IS DISCOURSED THE BLOODY MURDERINGS OF GOD S SAINTS, WITH THE PARTICULAR PROCESSES AND NAMES OF SUCH GODLY MARTYRS, BOTH MEN AND AVOMEN, AS, IN THIS TIME OF QUEEN MARY, WERE PUT TO DEATH." 1556. The reign of Queen Mary continued. "The Life, State, and Story of the Reverend Pastor and Prelate Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr" (3ff.). The standard narrative on Dr. Cranmer is given: birth at Aslockton, Cambridge, bad and good authors in the reading, Bible study, D.D., examiner of bachelors and doctors for degrees, the 1529 Waltham meeting, the strong hint that Gardiner wanted Cranmer’s name excluded in the device for Henry (trying the case by Scriptures, fathers and the Councils, not the Pope), Dr. Cranmer's meeting with Henry in 1529, the trip to Rome in 1530 and the meeting with the Pope, including the humorous story about Wiltshire’s spaniel. Dr. Cranmer is 41 at this point and Foxe tells the story quickly and is the standard narrative.
