1 The name is variously spelled, The Dictionary of National Biography preferring “Miles Huggarde” and the Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, 1475-1640, rev. ed. (London, 1926 and 1976) adopting “Miles Hogarde.” Except within quotations, I have followed the latter spelling. I am grateful to the STC staff at the British Library for kindly allowing me to consult the corrected typescript of the Hogarde items which appear in the still unpublished Vol. I of the revised STC.

2 The lamentacion of England, [1558] (STC 10015), refers three times to Hogarde's attacks on Protestants and to no other Roman Catholic pamphleteer more than once; the Protestant exile writer, William Plough, wrote An apology for Protestants in direct response to Hogarde's main polemic tract. (This is now lost, but see Baskerville, Edward J., A Chronological Bibliography of Propaganda and Polemic Published in English between 1553 and 1558 [Philadelphia, 1979], p. 82.Google Scholar) For modern judgments see Loades, D.

4 For 1540: Robert Wisdom (archdeacon of Ely under Elizabeth), when imprisoned in 1540, mentions Hogarde three times as one of his persecutors in a justificatory document printed in Strype, John, Ecclesiastical Memorials (London, 1816), VI, 223–239.Google Scholar For 1558: see n.2 above. In the late 1540s Hogard is attacked at more length in anti-Catholic satirical verses aimed chiefly at Bishop Gardiner, printed in Strype, , Eccl. Mem., VI, 314–318 Google Scholar, Stanza 10. I owe this reference to Dr. Baskerville.

24 Hogarde presented the Queen with a manuscript copy (Harley 3444), one evidently made from the printed text, since it includes the preface to the reader. Baskerville (p. 45)dates this prior to July 1554, since the Queen's titles are pre-marriage.

The last was still considered important enough in Elizabeth's reign for Robert Crowley to publish a reply in 1569.

33 A sermon very notable, fruicteful and godlie … concerning the heresies of Martyne Luther, 1554 (STC 10896) and 1556 (STC 10897). Hugh Glasier's Paul's Cross sermon of August 25, 1555 (STC 11916.5) was one of the few by Marian churchmen that reads with something of Fisher's broad appeal.

34 Bradford, who was burnt at the stake in 1555, had little published in his lifetime but was widely known for having given up (under Latimer's influence) what he saw as the corruptions of a successful legal career and becoming a cleric. For Lever, see particularly A sermon preached the thyrd Sonday in Lent before the Kynges majestic, [1550] (STC 15547), A sermon preached at Pauls Crosse the xiiii day of December, 1550 (STC 15546), A meditacion upon the Lordes prater, 1551 (STC 15544).

53 While those putting away their wives could be given different parishes, the rigor of the rule is seen in the case of Paul Bushe, whose A brief exhortation … to Margaret Burgess, 1556 (STC 4184), is one of the most effective defences of the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist for a lay public.

69 Foxe, VII, 691-693, VIII, 163-200, includes Careless’ long dialogue with the Roman Catholic, Dr. Martin, and his correspondence with John Bradford and John Philpot, as well as his letters to lesser figures; two additional Careless letters are printed in John Bradford, Letters, ed. Townsend (Cambridge, 1853), pp. 354-358, 406.

70 Foxe prints various letters of religious exhortation by Ralph Allerton, Richard Woodman and other Protestant laymen awaiting execution in Mary's prisons. Among the anti-Protestant tracts of her reign, George Marshall's A compendious treatise in metre declaring the firste originale of sacrifice and of the buylding of aultares, 1554 (STC 17469), reads more like thework of a layman deeply devoted to church tradition in the Hogarde manner than like the writings of the regime's clerical propagandists, though (as the DNB article on Marshall notes) we know nothing about the author beyond what he says in the work itself.
