Chapter 6. “And with Thy Holy Spirite and Worde:” Further thoughts on the Source of Cranmer’s Petition for Sanctification in the 1549 Communion Service—Bryan D. Spinks, 94-102. Dr. Spinks is concerned about the Quam oblationen from the Roman canon missae for the 1549 Communion Service. From Eastern anaphoras? Mozarabic and Gallican anaphoras as some imagine? Dr. Cranmer, apparently and though hard to believe, is unacquainted with Byzantine Basil or Chrysostom. Yet, Dr. Cranmer is familiar with the Sarum, Hereford and York breviaries. “It was Cranmer’s aim not merely to provide an English Communion Service, but to provide an English Communion Service embodying sound doctrine as judged by reformed standards” (97). Dr. Cranmer is familiar with Luther’s and Zwingli’s writings, as well as Calvin’s. Martin Bucer and Peter Vermigli are also factors. Dr. Cranmer says of Vermigli’s views: “Of Peter Martyr’s opinion and judgement in this matter [eucharistic doctrine], no man can better testify than I; forasmuch as he lodged within my house (DPV, 1547) long before he came to Oxford (DPV, 1549), and I had with him many conferences in that matter, and know that he was then of the same mind that he is now, and as he defended after openly in Oxford, and hath written in his book.” Yet, Wily Winchester said transubstantiation could be expressed by the words of the 1549 BCP’s Communion Service—hence, the 1552 revision. This essay bears the marks of haste and might not have made the cut at the Westminster Theological Journal.
