Ethelred L Taunton is an. English Ro-
man. MAJ s Catholic priest. He is the author Of
Alstory Of Jesuits in England = and this
light. Although a. Catholic, the work is
permeated with an evident desire for the
plain truth. Taunton's estimate of the car
dinal 81 is greatly at varianceswith that OF
Shakespeare, who in his Henry VIII. rep.
resents Wolsey as saying: 4.
Had ''t 1aa3 ! but served my God with half the
| served my king, He would not in mine
Have left me naked to mine enemies..'

One thing is, however, certain. That is
the cardinals faith in education, which is

The author commends Wolsev for his sup
prSssion of .Luther's writings in England
and for Lis deathbed ADVICE to Henry:
!, II request his grace, in Gods name, that
he have vigilant eye to depress the new
pernicious sect Of Lutherans, that it do not
increase within his dominions through his
negligence, In such sort as that he shall
back to Subdue them" ~ s4H
Regarding the liberality Of mind Of the
cardinal, Mr.; Taunton says:
clearly alive to the danger, the great.
minded cardinal had pity on those who,
tHnrough H Ignorance, had become infected.
