3. CHAPTER III, 37-49. Aug-late 1553. Mary’s on the throne. Dr. Cranmer strongly advises varied Professors, Bishops and other to flee the land. Dr. Cranmer will not flee, a self-consciously taken position, given his high position and willingness to defend the Edwardian reforms. Dr. Cranmer: “It would be no ways fitting for him to go away, considering the post in which he was; and to shew that he was not afraid to own all the changes that were by his means made in religion in the last reign” (36) Some 800 flee to Strasburg, Emden, Antwerp, Duisburg, Worms, Frankford, Basel, Zurich, Arrow and Geneva. Bihsops fleeing: Poynet of Winchester, Barlow of Bath and Wells, Scory of Chichester, Coverdale of Exeter, and Bale of Ossory.

Besides these theological elites, varied noblemen, merchants, tradesmen, artificers and “plebians, many hundreds,” flet (38). Then, Strype brings up the self-serving, ambitious and whatever-he-was Duke of Northumberland who, nevertheless, is put to death. His speech. He is in the Tower. Wily Winchester chats with him. The duke regrets the Edwardian reforms and double-back to Romanism to preserve his own. He claims he was always a papist.
