CloseFoxe added this section of passages culled either from De vera obedientia or testimony given at Stephen Gardiner's trial in 1550 in the 1563 edition. Fascinatingly he retained this section even though, due to a shortage of paper for the 1570 edition, he had been compelled to eliminate the depositions in Gardiner's trial which had been printed in the first edition (on pp. 804-61). This section allowed him to present some particularly embarrassing evidence from the depositions. The purpose of this section was to depict Gardiner as an opportunist without real religious convictions by presenting passages where he attacked, or was alleged to have attacked, catholic beliefs and practices. Yet the result was that in all editions of the Acts and Monuments from 1570 onwards, the reader was referred back to the first edition for the actual quotations - even in the 1684 edition, printed over 120 years later.

CloseI.e., the 1563 edition. Foxe printed the depositions from Gardiner's trial in the first edition (pp. 804-61) and, because of their length, he never reprinted them. But he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to use this testimony against Gardiner and, in later editions, he simply referred the reader back to the relevant pages of the first edition.
