On 11 August 1553, having received a pardon from Queen Mary, Stephen Gardiner, bishop of Winchester, returned to the house at Southwark where his household had reassembled, ready for the work ahead. Gardiner's household was a formidable political and ideological instrument. It had been forged during his battles with Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in the 1540s and early 1550s. It was Gardiner's household which defended him at his trial in the winter of 1550 and supported him through his confinement until 1553. Key individuals, especially Thomas Watson, assisted him in the theological contest with Cranmer which he carried on from the Tower of London. At Mary's accession in 1553, these men began a constant round of preaching engagements, visitations, work in Parliament, and formal disputations, and three, Watson, John White and James Brooks, took up places on the episcopal bench. Of the artefacts of this work that remain to us, some of the most significant are the printed political treatises, books of sermons, and school textbooks produced by Gardiner's household. These items offer a window into the intellectual culture and ideology of the Lord Chancellor's household at a time when Gardiner had more control over national life than ever before in his long career. A study of the ideological literature published by Gardiner's household falls naturally into three areas: material connected with the parliament of April 1554, material which promoted popular engagement with the Fathers of the Church, and material connected with St John's College, Cambridge, and John Fisher. It is this last area that will be the focus of this paper.

4 While not entirely satisfactory, the terms ‘Protestant’ and ‘Catholic’ will be used throughout this study. As this study is concerned mainly with the ideological innovations of Gardiner's circle, calling them ‘Conservatives’ or ‘Traditionalists’ throughout would be unhelpful.

54 Watson, Sermons, sigs. F1v, H3v–H6v; This commitment to historical methods of argument was also evident in the work of James Brooks, Master of Balliol College, Oxford, who became Gardiner's chaplain in 1553. His Paul's Cross sermon of 12 November 1553 was printed soon afterwards, and subsequently ranto two revised editions in 1554. No doubt, this was partly intended to raise Brooks's public profile before his election to a bishopric and service in parliament. From Brooks's point of view, it also served as an opportunity to demonstrate publicly his commitment to the ethos of Winchester's familia. His sermon shared several arguments with Gardiner and Watson, and included a long and carefully drawn analogy between Protestants and Arians; Brooks, James, A Sermon very notable, fruicteful, and godlie, made at Paules Crosse (London, 1553;Google Scholar STC 3838), see also STC 3839, 3839.3. References are to the revised edition of 1554 (STC 3839.3), though in fact the augmentations in the 1554 editions are very minor. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell when in 1554 these editions were published. Watson's sermons were published in May when Parliament was breaking up, and Brooks's sermon may have been reprinted for the same event; MacCulloch, Cranmer, pp. 132, 573; Foster, Joseph, ed., Alumni Oxonienses (4 vols., Oxford, 1888), I, p. 190;Google Scholar à Wood, Anthony, Athenae Oxonienses (4 vols., London, 1813–20), I, pp. 314–15;Google Scholar During Latimer's trial, on 30 September 1555, Brooks became the butt of witticisms about his obscurity, see: Foxe, Actes and Monuments, pp. 1366–67.

The key sermon, which steered most closely to the Tridentine decrees, was ‘On Satisfaction’. When he remarked: ‘Whereby appeareth that the penaunce of a Christian man sinning deadly after baptisme, conteyneth satisfaction by fastinge, alms, prayer, and other godly exercises of spiritual life, not for the eternal pain of hel, which with the synne is remitted in the using of the sacrament of penaunce, or els if the sacrament cannot be had, in the desire of ful purpose to use it, when it may be had, but for temporal payne which (as the scriptures teache) is not holly alwayes remitted to theim that take the grace of God in vayne’, this was a translation of the Council of Trent's fourteenth chapter, session six, which concluded in January 1547, on justification.
