In this book the author reappraises the Marprelate Controversy and Penry's relationship to it in the light not only of the despositions made by persons suspected of complicity in the Martinist conspiracy but also of the relevant pamphlets written by nonconformists and the defenders of the Establishment during the last years of the sixteenth century. Although osentsibly directed at the ecclesiastical authorities, the pamphlets signed by martin are distinguished by a lively colloquial style calculated to delight the most ignorant as well as the most learned of men with nonconformist leanings. 274 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Hardcover. xi, [2], 274 p.; 21.5 cm. `The seven major pamphlets signed by Martin Marprelate [1588-89] boldly demand that the episcopacy be replaced with a presbyterian system of government and are filled with scandals about prominent persons, particularly those in high positions in the Church of England. So vivid is Martin's personality that it shines through everything that he writes. From his first pamphlet the reader might think him a mere gossipmonger eager to take personal revenge upon the bishops, but his subsequent pamphlets become more earnest and reveal the courage of a man who knowingly endangered his life in order to defend his religious convictions. At the same time his evident zest in contending withthe high ecclesiastical authorities suggests that exercising his own wit was almost as important to him as defending his doctrines. Although the Martinist pamphlets are completely Puritan in doctrine, their violence places them slightly out of the main stream of presbyterian-Puritanism, which was striving to achieve a political reformation of the Church of England. Indeed, the bitterness of Martin's attack on the government of that Church is closer to the writings of the separatists, Robert Browne,Henry Barrowe, and John Greenwood.' (p. viii-ix) `Little by little the set of depositions made by persons suspected of complicity in the Martinist conspiracy took on new meaning for me. Further close reading of the pamphlets signed by Penry and Martin and a comparison of their literary style and allusive content led on to inspection of the printing until the case for Penry was overwhelming.'

Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gilt lettering to spine over brown boards in original jacket. First edition. John Penry (1559 29 May 1593) was long celebrated as a pioneer of Welsh nonconformity, though more recent scholarship has argued that this status is largely a retrospective creation and that Penry s influence on the church in Wales was likely negligible. Penry left his native Wales in 1580 to matriculate at Peterhouse, Cambridge, where Martinist target Andrew Perne was College master. Penry decided against ordination, suggesting that he already disagreed with established ecclesiology, and returned to Wales, where his travels convinced him of the need to publicize the cause of church reform. His earliest publications, the pamphlets A treatise containing the aequity of an humble supplication (Oxford, 1587) and An exhortation unto the governours and people of Wales (1588), deplored the spirituall miserie of his native country (Treatise, 14), a deprivation he believed was largely the fault of the bishops, the butchers and stranglers of the soules of my deare countrimen (Exhortation, 18). Penry spent the eighteen months from spring 1588 to autumn 1589 as a leading agent in the clandestine operation that published the Marprelate tracts. In October 1589, with the investigative net closing in, Penry fled to Scotland; the Privy Council declared him an enemy to the state and issued a warrant for his arrest. Penry remained hiding in Scotland until the summer of 1591, when he risked a trip to London to see if the Coppinger/Hacket conspiracy was truly the beginning of the final reformation of England. It proved instead a mad fiasco, and on the day Hacket was executed Penry once more left hastily for Scotland. After a year in hiding, in September 1592 Penry once again tempted fate by returning to England. He had by this point converted from Presbyterianism to Separatism, and in London he joined the Separatists Francis Johnson and John Greenwood. Along with many other members of their congregation, Penry was captured in March 1593.
