John Foxe: "Acts and Monuments," 6.13ff.
Mary sends a letter to the Lords’ Council
on 3 Mar 1550. She is not happy about Uniformity, the new religion and the new order
of worship. The letter is given by Foxe. Another letter by Mary is written to the
Lord’s Council on 4 Dec 1550—to wit, two of her chaplains have been picked up by
LEOs over failure to conform to Uniformity. She talks about promises made to her
of private masses made to her from the Emperor’s ambassador. The entitled Tudor
royal thinks she is an exception to the nation. The Lords’ Council responds in a
letter to her on 25 Dec 1550 exhorting her to conformity with the Scripture and
the ancient church, not the corruptions and novelties that deviate from the apostolic
faith.
