Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Select Works of John Bale, Bishop of Ossory: Containing the Examinations of Lord Cobham, William Thorpe, and Anne Askewe, and the Image of Both Churches John Bale, one of the most distinguished among the minor lights of the Reformation, was born at the little Tillage of Core, near Donwich in Suffolk, on the 21st of November, 1495. His parents appear to have been respectable in character, but in humble circumstances; and it is not a little to their honour that they found means to send their son, first to a Carmelite convent in Norwich for the purposes of study, and afterwards to Jesus College, Cambridge. Bale was in his youth attached to literature, and his works are very voluminous: indeed the catalogue of them extends to no less than eighty-five separate productions, many of which were published under assumed names. During the earlier period of his residence in Cambridge, he was, as many of the reformers had been before him, and others were after him, a strenuous opponent of "the new learning;" and some of his works were thought to give evidence that at a later period he had not entirely forgotten his old bias? in proof of which it is alleged, on his own authority, that having translated the tragedy of "Pammachius," which was acted at Christ´s College, in 1544, it was subsequently laid before the Privy Council as a satire on the Reformation. There appears however no ground for the imputation. Violent in his temper, and uncompromising in his language, Bale, from the time that he embraced the tenets of the reformers, never ceased his attacks upon the Roman church; and there is not one of his writings that does not bear more or less directly on the religious abuses of his time. The immediate cause of his own conversion to the reformed faith is stated by himself to have been the instructions he received from Lord Wentworth.
