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 illustrative material the _Cases of Divorce for Several Causes_ (London, 1715); and the _Crim. Con. Actions and Trials and other Legal Proceedings relating to Marriage before the passing of the present Divorce Act_ (London, n. d.). With these may be compared the modern case _Ehescheidungs-Process Colin-Campbell_ (London, 1886). For the Stuart period have also been used Barrington, _Observations Upon the Statutes_ (2d ed., London, 1766); Hale, _History of the Pleas of the Crown_ (London, 1800); Coke, _Reports_ (London, 1826); his _Institutes_; and the _Reports_ of Croke, Kelyng, and Marche.
