Excerpt from A Reply to Dr. Lingard's Vindication of His History of England: As Far as Respects Archbishop Cranmer
Dr. Lingard observes, in a note, Vindio. P. 74. I do not notice the strictures of Mr. Todd on Dr. Milner and Mr. Butler, which he frequently mixes up with his animadversions on my work. Of these two writers the first can make no defence; death has removed him from the petty quarrels, which agitate the inhabitants of this earth.
Dr. Milner was unable, I say it with confidence, to answer at least one grievous charge I brought against him. He lived many months after the accusation. He was silent, as I am sorry to add he was, upon other occa sions, when the fidelity of his references and assertions was questioned.
The latter, (mr. Butler,) Dr. Lingard continues, though seventy-seven winters have passed over his head, still wields the pen with the energy of youth. He has re plied, and as far as I can judge, most satisfactorily replied, to Mr. Todd, in his Letters to Charles Blundell, Esq.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a central controversy surrounding Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. Specifically, the author challenges a claim, made by Cardinal Pole, that Cranmer was pressured into accepting the position of Archbishop through an illicit agreement with King Henry VIII. This accusation was part of a broader campaign of slander by Pole against Cranmer, a leading figure in England's Reformation. The author counters the claim that Cranmer's acceptance of the position was insincere by presenting the truth of the matter, informed by Cranmer's own writings and public statements and by the historical context of the time. The author presents a rich analytical perspective on the nature of morality in this context and appeals to the reader to judge for themselves who was truly insincere. Ultimately, this in-depth examination of the motivations of two of England's most influential religious figures provides unique insights into the complex religious and political landscape of the time.
