About This Item
1752 English Reformation Burnet Henry VIII Elizabeth I Portraits Anne Boleyn
As a response to Nicolas Sanders's attack on the English Reformation, Gilbert Burnet published a rebuttal that covered the reign of Henry VIII, through 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. Other notable figures mentioned include Anne Boleyn, Edward VI, Hugh Latimer, Thomas Cranmer, Queen Mary, and still others.
Burnet gives evidences of the difficulties and challenges that the Church of England faced against Catholics and the government as a whole. He also 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).
