Hardcover. ix, [1], 55 p.; 3 il.; 19 cm. [Batley gave a full transcription of the Adversaria to Bilney's college, Trinity Hall, Cambridge] Contents: Preface -- I Biographical sketch -- Published works of Thomas Bilney -- III The history of Bilney's Vulgate [Lyons, 1520, since 1588 in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge] -- IV Selected Adversaria [from 300+ written in Latin in his Bible]: (a) typical quotations, (b) the author's opinions -- V Important events, 1511-31. -- `We have already accounted Bilney to be a careful, painstaking student. We may now give special attention to some Notes which express the writer's personal opinions. These thoughts are of value to us as revealing the real thoughts of Bilney. Not written for publication, coming from the man himself, they are more trustworthy than the second-hand information of Foxe and More.'

The poor are the true Temple of the Lord. The goods of the Church are the goods of the poor. A pure Church is acceptable to God. The Bishops must be faithful, unlike some contemporary prelates. Would that God would raise up once more a true prophet! .But in his attitude to Authority we find that Bilney is extremely bold. For just cause a King may be rebuked.
