Note 770 — VIII HUMANISM AND PURITANISM
Reading edition
Mediaeval Stage, ii. 222. The passage quoted is from the Epistel Exhortatorye of an Inglyshe Christian (1544), written under the pseudonym of Henry Stalbridge. Foxe, Book of Martyrs, vi. 57, says of Bishop Gardiner, 'He thwarteth and wrangleth much against players, printers, preachers. And no marvel why: for he seeth these three things to be set up of God, as a triple bulwark against the triple crown of the Pope to bring him down; as, God be praised, they have done meetly well already.'
