Henry John Todd: "Archbishop Cranmer:" Ch.4:1533, 1.106ff.

CHAPTER IV.1533. The archbishop pronounces the divorce ( = nullity, technically) of Henry from Catharine, 23 May 1533. An unctuous letter goes to Henry petitioning to hear the case, casually and elitistically referring to “rude and ignorant” people (98% of the nation?). Dr. Cranmer is conscious of his elevated, if not pompous, position. Dr. Cranmer, Longland, Winchester and others crown Anne Boleyn at Westminster Abbey. Dr. Cranmer pens a letter to Archdeacon Hawkin’s on 16 Jun 1533, a friend and ambassador to the Emperor. Dr. Cranmer details the coronation including the procession, the coronation, the singing of the Te Deum and high mass. Also, vested in the "pontificalibus" (his word). Dr. Cranmer, despite the bruits, denies being at her marriage to Henry, being dated by Dr. Cranmer as St. Paul’s Day, 1533, but bruited as Nov 1532 (more likely). Dr. Cranmer somewhat breezily (if not detachedly) mentions John Frith, the Martyr, connecting him explicitly to Oecolampadius. Also, another man, Andrew, burns with Frith. Mentioning Oecolampadius in an early notice of the Reformer. Of course, More and Fisher delight in it and Lincoln and London have command of it.

The stink of England and the Church of England.
