Richard Watson Dixon: History of the Church of England: 1549-1553, 3.114ff.



1549. Peter Martyr refuses to use the scholastic terms accidents and matter (115). He would only say carnally and/or corporally (115). Hard treatment is given and Smith flees.  There is a disputation on the Eucharatist between Martyr and Tresham, Chedsey, and Morgan before the visitors at Cambridge Both sides claimed the victory. The literary memorials of the contest and their curious history. Bucer and Fagius at Cambridge. Bucer not so advanced as Martyr. Disputation at Cambridge before the Visitors. Ridley's conduct as moderator. Fall of the Scholastic philosophy in England. Profanities appear in the playhouses which are shut down lest the New Learning should be ridiculed. An amazing spectacle of Somerset’s pillages. Building of the former Somerset House. He has his eyes on Westminster Abbey. Other examples of sacrilege. Sales and exchanges of the monastic lands about this time.
