Although B. Gardiner in graunting to these points of religion (as ye haue heard) and other some againe denying, could not therefore deserue the name & fame of a perfect Christian, yet notwithstanding if hee had continued in this iudgement styll, and bene constant in him selfe, he might haue wonne more commendation both with God and man. But as soone as the time began to alter, he likewyse altering with the time, was so farre chaunged from that he seemed, that neyther he agreed with other Papistes, nor yet wyth him self, as Doct. Ridley in certaine treatises hath noted well of him: wherein as in a glasse may be seene the manifest contrarietie and repugnaunce in hym,MarginaliaWinchest. neither agreeth wt the Protestantes in the gospell, neither in popery with the Papistes: neither with himselfe. not onely from the truth of Gods blessed word, but also howe the sayd bishop stãding so much in a singularity by him self, neyther agreeth with other hys fellow writers of his own faction, nor yet fully accordeth with hym selfe in certaine cases of the sacrament, as the foresaid Doct. Ridley in examining his wordes and workes, hath well set out in thys table here vnder ensuing.

¶ Certayne matters wherein Ste. Gardiner B. of Winchester varieth from other of the Papists, touching the sacrament of the Lords supper  
Commentary   *   Close

This attack on Gardiner was written by Ridley during Mary's reign, probably in 1554 or 1555. It was never printed and Foxe must have printed it from a manuscript copy. In this treatise Ridley sought to demonstrate that the catholics disagreed amongst each other on key theological points and, in particular, that Stephen Gardiner disagreed with fellow catholics. Generally, Ridley contrasted the views of Richard Smith with Gardiner, although he also observed disagreements between Gardiner and William Peryn, Thomas Aquinas and Peter Lombard.
