Description
Excerpt from The Unfortunate Traveller, or the Life of Jack Wilton: With an Essay on the Life and Writings of Thomas Nash
Still in 1589, but later in the year, Nash is believed to have thrown himself into that extraordinary clash of theo logical weapons which is celebrated as the Martin Marprelate Controversy. As is well known, this pamphlet war grew out of the passionate resentment felt by the Puritans against the tyrannical acts of Whitgift and the Bishops. The actual controversy has been traced back to a defence of the establishment of the Church, by the Dean of Sarum, on the one hand, and a treatise by John Feury the Puritan, on the other, both published in 1587. In 1588 followed the violent Puritan libel, called Martin Marpre.
