Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Writings of the Rev. Thomas Becon: Chaplain to Archbishop Cranner, and Perbendary of Canterbury Thomas Becon, or Beacon, was one of the most active of the English Reformers; and by his writings he contributed much to the diffusion of the truth. He was born in Suffolk about A. D. 1510, and was educated at Cambridge, where he took his bachelor´s degree in 1530. The preaching of Latimer appears to have been very useful to him, and he became a zealous teacher of the gospel. On this account Becon was persecuted by the Romish clergy, he was apprehended by Bonner in 1544, when he was compelled to make a public recantation at Paul´s Cross, and to burn his little treatises, which had attracted considerable notice. Some of them had been printed under the name of Theodore Basil, they were prohibited in the proclamation against heretical books, in July, 1546. Finding there was no safety for him in London or its vicinity, Becon travelled into Staffordshire and Derbyshire, where he remained in seclusion until the accession of Edward VI. During this interval "he educated children in good literature, and instilled into their minds the principles of Christian doctrine." But the account of Becon´s proceedings at that period is best given in his own words, as related in his tract, "The Jewel of Joy." "What gentleness I found for my godly labours at the hands of some men in these parts ye know right well.
