Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Martin Marprelate, the Epistle: September-November 1588 We have seen in the Introductory Sketch, &c. (No. 8 of this Series), pp. 195, that this Epistle was the production of John Penry, assisted by Job Throckmorton: and that they made use of some memoranda which Rev. John Udall, Preacher at Kingston, had made and which he had shewn in his study to the Vicar of that place, the Rev. Stephen Chatfield so far back as Michaelmas, 1587. pp. 83, 90, 171. But Udall ever repudiated the mocking method of the presenting those facts which is adopted in the present Text. p. 118. This Epistle was secretly printed in the "Dutch Letter," p. 114, by Robert Waldegrave and John Penry in Mistress Crane´s country house at East Molesey in Surrey about Michaelmas, 1588; and came forth into furtive circulation from hand to hand, in the first days of the following November: previous to which date, neither the name nor the conception of Martin Marprelate (or as it was often, afterwards, for brevity´s sake, reduced to, Martin) existed in English Literature. Though Penry alleged some previous similar works on the Continent (Introductory Sketch, p. 97); the character of "the reverend and worthie Martin Marprelate, gentleman," was quite an original one. On its surface, there was the coolest assurance in hobnobbing with their "venerable masterdomes"; the assumed testy merry wit, with the endless punning of Dick Tarleton; all intermixed with the strongest possible home-thrusts and the most serious charges: while, beneath all this, there was the most earnest purpose of an outraged human nature, which considered it had found the Divine Messengers, in the most precious and sacred things of this mortal life, to be as "salt which had lost its savour"; and therefore only "fit to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
