Francis John Jayne, D.D., Bishop of Chester 1889-1919 -- Index. -- From chapter V: `The Worshipping and Adoration of Images is not a proper development from anything taught or sanctioned by Christ or His Apostles. On the contrary, it is plainly "repugnant to the Word of God" (Article XXII.). In the early days of the Church nothing more distinctively marked off Christianity from paganism than that Christian people were wont to pray to God direct, with a clear apprehension of His omnipresence and of His accessibility at all times and in all places.' (p. 186) -- From chapter VI: `The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary is a daring falsehood, unworthy of the pure and holy woman in whose behalf it has been put forth, and in itself--even if true--raising an idle and useless question. Its only purpose is to furnish some show of the miraculous which will prepare those who belong to the Roman Communion to receive and to practise without question those devotional extravagances and superstitions.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers unprecedented revelations about the secretive, potentially criminal, personal relationships of two of history's most famous Englishmen: William Shakespeare and Sir Francis Bacon. The author's original research suggests that these great minds were brought together by their mutual friend and patron, Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex. Bacon's association with the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the theatre company to which Shakespeare belonged, began with his production of the spectacular Grays Inn Masque in 1594, when he would inevitably have met the man responsible for managing the company's productions: Shakespeare. After the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, the relationship between the two men deepened, with Bacon implicated in the composition and publication of one of Shakespeare's most famous works, Troilus and Cressida. At the same time, Bacon, a notorious gambler and womanizer, was heavily in debt, and increasingly reliant on what the author proposes was money from Shakespeare. The ensuing interplay of artistic creation and financial dependence led to a profound shift in the balance of power between the two men, driving the later stages of their extraordinary relationship.
