Henry John Todd, MA: Archbishop Cranmer: Ch. 5--1549, Devonshire Rebelli...


The rebels of Cornwall and Devonshire makes their demands on King Edward VI and the reforming Church. They demand the return of the 1539 Six Articles in Article 2 and the return of Latin masses in Article 3: (1) as for the former, Dr. Cranmer compares them to the Councils of Nicea and Grangrense, showing the conflict regarding married clergy; (2) Dr. Cranmer out-reasons them on the Latin masses as instruments for continued ignorance while arguing St. Paul’s position from 1 Cor.14.15: “What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.” Why Latin for England? Or, why the Greek's with Greek divine services? Or, Syrian for the Syrian church. So, why Latin in England for the BCP and Bible? It’s another reasonable, rational and strong beat-down of the papist ringleaders, but also the gullible lapdogs and bootlickers in Devonshire and Cornwall. No weak Cranmer here. Be careful there, Tom, FB, Twitter, and Google might put you in the Ayatollah-jail.
