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 and fame of a perfect Christian, yet notwithstanding if he 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 tyme began to alter, hee likewyse altering with the tyme, was so farre chaunged from that he seemed, MarginaliaWinchester neither agreeth with the Proestantes in the Gospell, neither in propery with the Papistes: neither with himselfe.that neither hee agreed with other Papistes, nor yet with 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 repugnaūce in him, not only from the truth of Gods blessed word, but also how the sayd Byshop stāding so much in a singularity by him selfe, neyther agreeth with other his fellow writers of his own factiō, nor yet fully accordeth with him self in certaine cases of the sacramēt, as the foresaid Doct. Ridley in examining his words & workes, hath well set out in this table here vnder ensuing.
[Back to Top]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.
