Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 3
The numerous enemies whom Wolsey's sudden eleva ftviii tion, his aspiring character, and his haughty deportment had raised him, served only to rivet him faster in Henry's 1515, confidence; who valued himself On siipporting the choice Effigy which he had made, and who was incapable of yielding tration. Either to the murmurs of the people, or to the discon tents of the great. That artful prelate, likewise, well acquainted with the king's imperious temper, concealed from him the absolute ascendant which he had acquired; and while he secretly directed all public councils, he ever pretended a blind submission to the will and authority Of his master. By entering into the king's pleasures, he preserved his afi'ection'; by conducting his business, he gratified his indolence and by his unlimited complais ance in both capacities, he prevented all that jealousy to which his exorbitant acquisitions, and his Splendid osten tatious train Of life, should naturally have given birth.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the changes in religious belief and practice in England during the reign of Henry VIII. These changes were influenced by a number of factors, including the personal beliefs and ambitions of the king, the political and economic interests of the English state, and the broader intellectual and religious currents of the time. The book explores the complex interplay of these factors and their impact on the development of the English Reformation. The author traces the origins of the Reformation, focusing on the ideas of Martin Luther and other reformers, and the ways in which these ideas spread throughout Europe. The book also explores the political and religious motivations behind Henry's decision to break with the Catholic Church and establish the Church of England. The author argues that Henry's motives were primarily political, and that he used the Reformation to assert his authority over the English Church and to increase his own power. The book concludes by assessing the impact of the Reformation on English society and culture. The author argues that the Reformation had a profound impact on English life, and that its effects can still be seen today.
