According to your mind I have run over all your papers; and what I have done, which is but small, therein may appear. In two places I have put in two loose leaves: I had much ado to read that was written in your great leaves, and I ween somewhere I have altered some words, because I could not read perfectly that which was written ¼ Blessed be God that hath given you liberty ¼ , that you may use your pen to his glory, and to the comfort, as I hear say, of many.” — To this Foxe annexes the following side note: “This was a treatise of the Lord’s Supper, with other things, which Master Bradford sent to him to peruse and to judge thereof.” — Foxe, Acts, etc. 1583, p. 1725, or ed. 1843 — 8, 7. 426.

FT145 Foxe states that, while Bradford was in prison in the King’s Bench and the Counter in the Poultry, he preached twice a day continually ¼ also the sacrament was often ministered; and through his means (the keepers so well did bear with him) such resort of good folks was daily to his lecture, and to the ministration of the sacrament, that commonly his chamber was well nigh filled therewith. Acts, etc. p. 1780.

Voluntas quidem non est nisi tua, justitia non est nisi Del. Esso potest justitia Dei sine voluntate tua, sod in to esso non po-test praetcr voluntatem tuam .... Resurrexit propter justificationem nostram. Quid est, propter justificationem nostram? Ut justificet nos, ut justos faciat nos. Efts opus Dei, non solum quia homo es, sod etiam quia justus es.
Melius est enim justum esse, quam to hominem esse. Si hominem to fecit Deus, et justum tu to facis; melius aliquid facis, quam fecit Deus.
Sod sine to fecit to Deus. Non enim adhibnisti aliquem con-sensum, ut to faceret Deus. Quomodo consentiebas qui non eras? Qui ergo fecit to sine to, non to, justificat sine to. Ergo fecit nescientem, jus-tificat volentem. Tamen ipse justificat, ne sit justitia tua, ne redeas ad damna, ad detrimenta et stercora, invenire in illo non habens justitiam tuam, ‘quae ex lege est,’ sod justitiam per fidem Christi, quae est ex Deo. — August.

The heading of Part 1 of this Treatise, p. 310-18, in the Meditations of Bradford, 1562, (see p. 305 above), is, ‘A short and pithy defense of the doctrine of the holy election and predestination of God, gathered out of the first chapter of St. Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians, by J.
Bradford.’
The inscription of the portions of the ‘Defence’ given in Bp. Coverdale, Letters, etc. 1564, (see p. 305 above), is, “A letter written to a dear friend of his, wherein he entreateth as briefly so most perfectly, godly, soundly and pithily, of God’s holy election, free grace, and mercy in Jesus Christ.” ftb79 See p. 248 above, and p. 350. These three lines are now first printed. ftb80 ‘whole,’ MS.: ‘holy’ 1564. ftb81 The last twenty-three lines, “Therefore, as I said, I much marvel... sent to you at divers times,)” are now first printed from the Bodleian MS.
The printed edition of 1564 has instead, “Wherefore, my dearly beloved in the Lord, I have taken in hand at this present, something to write to you, and for your sake in this matter, which herewithal I have sent unto you, as well to be a help to you herein,” ftb82 The last four lines, “the comfort of his children... ever.” are now first printed from the Bodleian MS. The printed edition of 1564 has instead, “his glory and your eternal joy and comfort in him.” ftb83 So the MS.: ‘much less then hath it any enormities (as some do affirm),’ 1562, 1564. ftb84 ‘in myself and in many others,’ MS.: not in 1562 or 1564. ftb85 ‘them’ 1562, 1564: not in MS. ftb86 ‘and,’ ‘that,’ MS.: ‘as,’ ‘than,’ 1562, 1564. ftb87 ‘heirs,’ and ‘fellow-heirs,’ 1562, 1564. ‘heirs.

The apostle prayeth for the Ephesians for none other ‘wisdom and revelation’ from God than whereby they might ‘know God,’ and have their ‘minds illumined to see what they should hope for by their vocation, and how rich the glory of his inheritance is upon his saints.’ Further than this, I think, is unseemly for us to search, until we have sought out how rich God’s goodness is and will be to us his children: the which we can never do; but the more we go thereabouts, and the more we taste his goodness, the more we shall love him, and loath all things that displease him.” ftb93 ‘Comen:’ an old form of the participle, ‘come.’ ftb94 ‘and’ MS.: ‘or’ 1562. ftb95 It is not unlikely that this controversial piece, of which Bradford observes at p. 309 above, that he has ‘not left out one tittle of every word’ as the author ‘had put it abroad,’ may have been written by Henry Hart, then a leader among those called ‘free-willers.’ It must have been penned before October 11, 1554, the date of Bradford’s reply. The statement of Trewe (which also recounts many ‘enormities’) was written, January 1, 1555. See prefatory note, p. 305 — 6, and p. 310, 50:14, above. ftb96 ‘Uttereth:’ maketh manifest, bringeth out. ftb97 ‘holiness,’ MS.

Hopkins, who was sheriff of Coventry at the time, was afterward committed to the Fleet prison for some “matter pertaining to religion,” and “being at length delivered... and minding to keep his conscience pure from idolatry was driven with his wife and eight young children to avoid the realm; and so... went into high Germany, where he continued in the city of Basil till the death of queen Mary; being like a good Tobias, to his power a friendly helper and a comfortable reliever of other English exiles there about him; God’s holy blessing so working with him therefor, that in those far countries neither he fell in any great decay, neither any one of all his household during all that time there miscarried, but so many as he brought out, so many he recarried home again, yea, and that with advantage, and God’s plenty withal upon him.” — Foxe, ibid. ftb179 Vide p. 39, note 5, above. ftb180 See note E. ftb181 Vide p. 49, note 5, above. ftb182 Compare p. 6 ¾ 8, above. ftb183 Vide p. 88, note 2, above. ftb184 Noli itaque dubitare ibi nunc esse hominem Christum Jesum, unde venturus est; memoriterque recole, et fideliter tene Christianam confessionem, quoniam resurrexit a mortuis, adscendit in coelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris, nec aliunde quam inde venturus est ad vivos mortuosque judicandos. — August.

This ‘Declaration,’ being addressed to both the king and queen, must have been penned after the marriage of queen Mary, July 25, 1554: and from the words in the fifth paragraph, “at this your assembly,” it was probably written after the meeting of the third parliament of her reign, which took place, November 12 in that year. See Strype, Mem. 3. 1:205, 321. * Now in the British Museum, Lansd. 389. ftb196 If the ‘Supplication’ mentioned in the title of this Letter is the document which is printed next in this volume, the date of the Letter would be about November or December 1554: see p. 403, note 2; and prefatory note, p. 366 above.
The title in Bp. Coverdale, Letters of the martyrs, 1564, is ‘A letter which he set as a preface before a supplication sent to queen Mary, her council, and the whole parliament; which supplication cometh not yet to our hands.’ The heading given above is taken from Foxe, Acts, etc. 1570. ftb197 ‘Pass:’ care. ftb198 This Supplication probably was addressed to the king, queen, and parliament, about November or December 1554, from the allusion in the fifteenth line to the memorialists having been in prison ‘these fifteen or sixteen months.’ ftb199 See above. ftb200 These Remarks are now printed for the first time. They were written by Bradford probably to accompany an account of the remarkable trial of Sir Nicholas Throgmorton, April 17, 1554: the expressions used by B. exactly describe the able defense of Sir N.T., and the proceedings of the judges and of the government upon the occasion. See the details of the trial in Holinshed, 1587, 3:1104; also in State Trials, London 1816, 1:869 — 902; and in Criminal Trials, Jardine, 1832, 1:62 ¾ 120. ftb201 ‘Losels:’ worthless persons, lost to all goodness. Nares, Glossary. ftb202 Vide Mosheim, Eccl. Hist. cent. 4:1. 1:12. ftb203 This ‘Admonition’ must have been written between February 9 and March 30, 1555, as it appears from p. 410, that it was penned after the martyrdoms of Bp. Hooper and Taylor, and before that of Bp. Ferrar. — Foxe, Acts, etc., 1583, p. 1510 — 27 — 55.
Its title in Bp. Coverdale, Letters of the martyrs, 1564, is, ‘An admonition to certain professors and lovers of the Gospel, to beware they fall not from it, in consenting to the Romish religion, by the example of the shrinking, halting, and double-faced gospellers.’ ftb204 ‘Vaward:’ forepart. ftb205 ‘Retchless:’ careless. ftb206 Vide p. 264, note 1, above. ftb207 Vide p. 407, note 3, above. ftb208 The ‘Exhortation’ without date, being in the same type, and apparently issued at the same time, with a translation executed by Bp.
