Of primary importance for the Reformation in England are the
writings of Becon, Hooper, Tyndale, and Whitgift, all, with
the _Original Letters_, comprised in the publications of the
Parker Society and described in Bibliographical Note IX. The
radical doctrines of Bucer's _De regno Christi_ (1557) were
supported by Milton, who published an English version under
title of "The Judgment of Martin Bucer," in _Prose Works_, III.
Pocock's _Records of the Reformation: The Divorce, 1527-1533_
(Oxford, 1870), has placed within easy reach a fine collection
of original materials relating to Henry VIII.'s famous cause;
and Huth, _The Marriage of Near Kin_ (2d ed., London, 1887), has
provided a bibliography of the extensive literature to which it
has given rise. For the whole period Burnet's _History of the
Reformation_ (London, 1850) is of service. The state of public
sentiment is reflected in Raynold's _Defence of the Judgment
of the Reformed Churches_ (1609, 1610); the opposing work of
Bunny, _Of Divorce for Adultery, And Marrying againe: that there
is no sufficient warrant so to do_ (Oxford, 1610; prepared for
publication in 1595); and the curious _Lawes Resolutions of
Womens Rights_ (London, 1632). The corruption and injustice
often attending the proceedings of the old spiritual courts in
actions for annulment of wedlock are revealed in Archbishop
Abbot's _The Case of Impotency As Debated in England, In that
Remarkable Tryal An. 1613, between Robert, Earl of Essex, and
the Lady Frances Howard_ (London, 1715), in which King James
I. appears in the rôle of pander to the lust of his guilty
favorite. The publication of this book, a century after it
was written, appears to have been suggested by the similar
_Pleadings for the Marquis de Gesvres against the Marchioness_
(London, 1714). In this connection may also be mentioned as
