Excerpt from Writings of the Rev. Dr. Thomas Cranmer: Archbishop of Canterbury and Martyr, 1556

A complete biographical account of Cranmer must include a large portion of the history of the English reformation. In the present sketch it is only intended to state some particulars which are requisite to convey correct information respecting his personal history, briefly noticing several points which have been misrepresented by the bigoted Romanists and the self-called liberal historians of protestant countries. We cannot be surprised that the character of a real follower of Christ is not fairly appreciated by the world, but every opportunity should be taken, to correct those mis-statements which bear some appearance of truth, while grosser falsehoods may be left, as carrying their own refutation. In general, the English protestant is too indifferent respecting the charges advanced against Cranmer. He would not estimate the character of the apostle of the gentiles by the opinions of the craftsmen of Ephesus or the philosophers of Athens, although they were not expressed in the bitter terms used by the elders of Jerusalem, who called him "a pestilent fellow and a mover of sedition" - why then should he listen to the representations of the character of Cranmer which emanate from those who evidently are actuated by a similar spirit to that of the opponents of the apostle. The words of our Lord, "Because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you;" are applicable to every follower of Christ.

But, however unqualified the world and its votaries may be to estimate the character of a christian, the accusations against Cranmer render it necessary to show that he may rightly be designated as such. Nor is this difficult.
