The reason for the use of these works of reference is that they present the jurisdictional and ecclesiastical position as it was before the major Victorian changes. The descriptions therefore approximate to those applying in the sixteenth century, after the major changes of 1535-42. Except for the physical locations, which have not changed, the reader should not therefore take these references as being accurate in the twenty-first century.

CloseThere are surprisingly few letters of Hugh Latimer and, apart from his note to Joan Wilkinson, none from Mary's reign. Whether it was due to age, illness, or strict confinement, Latimer did not produce the extensive correspondence of other Marian prisoners. As a result, Foxe's section on Latimer's letters consists largely of Henrician writings.
[Back to Top]Latimer's letters were first printed in the 1563 edition. In 1570, Foxe addeda disgression on Latimer's adversary Hubberdine, drawn from individual informants. He also added a conclusion to an incomplete letter which Latimer wrote to Henry VIII. As with the life of Latimer, material was deleted from the 1570 edition to save paper: the first letter to Sir Edward Baynton and a 1530 proclamation banning heretical books were removed . In the 1583 edition, the first letter to Sir Edward Baynton was reprinted.

CloseRalph Morrice, Archbishop Cranmer's secretary, was one of Foxe's most important informants. Interestingly, this letter was not sent to Foxe by Morrice. Morrice first began sending material to Foxe in 1566, while this letter first appeared in the 1563 edition.
MarginaliaA letter of M. Latimer to M. Morice.RIght worshipfull, and mine owne good mayster Morice, salutem in Christo Iesu. And I thanke you for all harty kindnesse, not onely heretofore shewed vnto me, but also that now of late, you would vouchsafe to write vnto me so poore a wretch, to my great comforte among all these my troubles.

Latimer.as Hubberdin and Powell, with other moe: whom when I had brought before the Maior and the wise Counsaile of the Towne, to know what they coulde lay to my charge, wherefore they so declaymed agaynst me, they sayde they spake of information: howbeit no man could be brought forth that would abide by any thing: So that they had place and time to belye me shamefully, but they had no place nor time to laye to my charge, when I was present and ready to make them answere. God amēd them, and swage their malice that they haue agaynst the truth & me. &c.
[Back to Top]So they did belye me to haue sayd, when I had sayd nothing so, but to reproue certayne both Priestes and beneficed menne, whiche doe geue so muche to our Ladye, MarginaliaWhat the Papistes do geue to our Lady.as though she had not bene saued by Christe, a whole Sauiour both of her, and of all that be and shall be saued: I did reason after this maner, that either she was a sinner, or no sinner: MarginaliaOur Lady not without sinne.if a sinner, then she was deliuered from sinne by Christ: so that he saued her, either by deliuering or by preseruing her from sinne, so that without hym neyther she, nor none other, neither be, nor could be saued. And to auoyde all offence, I shewed howe it might bee aunswered, both to certayne Scriptures which maketh all generally sinners, and how it might be aunswered vnto Chrysostome and Theophilact, which maketh her namely and specially a sinner. But all woulde not serue, theyr malice is so great: notwithstanding that fiue hundred honest men can and will beare recorde.

MarginaliaDifference betwixt images & Saintes.First Images of Sayntes are called Sayntes, and so they are not to be worshipped: take worshipping of them for praying to them: for they are neither Mediators by way of redemption, nor yet by way of intercession.

I sayd it was an heauenly greting or saluting of our blessed Lady, wherein the Aungell Gabriell sent from the Father of heauen, did annunciate and shewe vnto her the good will of God towardes her, what he would with her and to what he had chosen her But I sayd, it was not properly a prayer, MarginaliaAue Maria no prayer.as the Pater noster, whyche our Sauior Christ himselfe made for a proper prayer, and bade vs say it for a Prayer, not adding that we shoulde say 10. or 20. Aue Maries, withall: and I denyed not but that we may well saye the Aue Maria elso, but not so that we shall thinke that the Pater noster is not good, a whole and a perfit prayer, nor can not be well sayd without Aue Maria: so that I did not speake agaynst wel saying of it, but agaynst superstitious saying of it, and of the Pater noster to: and yet I put a difference betwixte that, & that whiche Christ made to be sayd for a prayer. &c.

Austen?
