1683 English Reformation Burnet Henry VIII Elizabeth I Letters Thomas Cranmer
As a response to Nicolas Sanders’s attack on the English Reformation, Gilbert Burnet published a rebuttal that covered the reign of Henry VIII, the second volume covering the reign of Elizabeth I. The work saw such success and popularity that his reputation was enhanced, and the English Parliament gave thanks to Burnet after the completion of the work.
Burnet gives evidences of the difficulties and challenges that the Church of England faced against Catholics and the government as a whole. Burnet defended his doctrines in this work and “confirmed them in another sermon, in which he also made some reflections on Bishops” that were impactful in English reforms. (Burnet, HRCE, Book III, 307).
This volume from the 1683 English edition, the second part, was published by Chiswell and contains Burnet’s “Collection of Records” – letters, correspondence, orders, memorials, and manifestos from Queen Elizabeth, Cranmer, Gardiner, and many other nobles.
