John Foxe: "Acts and Monuments," 5.36ff.
ABJURATIONS. 1532. EPISCOPAL REGISTER OF LONDON. More names are listed from the episcopal register bring the story to Stokesley in 1532 and before any reliefs that might arise with Ann Boleyn’s ascendancy. Same issues: forbidden books (Wycliffe, Tyndale, Frith, Luther), clerical marriage, stone-and-block worship of statutes, sufficiency of Christ's merits, denial of Bread-Worship and Cannibalism for the rubber-neckers and gawkers, Frith, pilgrimages, and auricular confession. Clearly, the Reformation was underway and at the local level, street-level, long before Cranmer gains visibility. Of note, Myles Coverdale was a "marked" man in/around the London Prelate's Palace.
