Top Highlights

“Cranmer himself was affected by his industrious examination of the Scriptures and of the new doctrines, and about 1525 he began in private to pray for the abolition of papal power in England.” (Page 21)

“Among these Cambridge Reformers were some of the greatest names in the movement: Tyndale and Coverdale, the translators of the Bible; Latimer, the prophet of the Reformation; and Bilney and Barnes, Crome and Lambert, some of its earliest martyrs.” (Page 21)

“As early as 1521 a number of Cambridge men had begun to meet at the White Horse tavern to examine and discuss the novel views put forward by the Wittenberg monk.” (Page 21)

“New ideas won their way to his mind with painful, hesitant steps; and they were only adopted after years of mature reflexion. His caution bordered on timidity, not so much from moral cowardice, as from an intellectual perception of both sides to the question. He never possessed the burning zeal which blinds men to all aspects of truth except one, and enables them to go forward in the sublime confidence that they are themselves entirely right and their opponents entirely wrong.” (Page 22)

“method of taking the question out of the hands of the lawyers and submitting it to the divines of the universities.” (Page 39)
