Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- Matthew Parker's manuscript collection naturally reflects his interest in Reformation theology and theologians and the religious debates which took place in the sixteenth century. MS 104 is one of the compilations of tracts Parker assembled from his collection. Among the tracts included in this volume are gospel commentaries, an English translation of St Matthew's gospel and several sermons on various topics including fortitude in suffering and the qualities of a king. The manuscript dates to the third quarter of the sixteenth century.

Doctrinae reformatae se maxime infensum ostendit, et Hussum juste fuisse crematum asserit: Stylum et mentem hujus autoris satis cognoscet lector ex sequenti sententia quam ex sermone episcopi Laudensis cum laude citat. Hi duo Huss et Hieronimus patriae pestes fuerunt... quorum matres si unquam peccaverunt, certe nullum flagitium gravius committere potuerunt quam quod ubera talibus labiis sugenda prebuere. Non recte adscribitur haec historia Urbano Rhegio a Cl. Stanley
