Note 473 — Chapter XII

Holinshed, p. 1121. Froude in repeating this story (History of England, vol. vi., p. 254), misled no doubt by Strype’s marginal notes, makes it appear as if the Bible had been an offensive object to Gardiner and the Queen, not that the grievance was, as the chronicler expressly states, the fact of its being represented in Henry’s hands, instead of in Mary’s.
