Note 267 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
Tenison’s Life, 51. In this dispute, and the proceedings which it occasioned, ridicule, satire, and abuse were employed. Dignitaries of the Church were lampooned in coarse and vulgar ballads, and the most sacred doctrines of the Gospel became associated with what is ridiculous and absurd. See The Battle Royal, South’s Posthumous Works. Memoirs, 128–130.
