See also:BALE, See also:JOHN (1495-1563) , See also:bishop of See also:Ossory, See also:English author, was See also:born at See also:Cove, near See also:Dunwich in See also:Suffolk, on the 21st of See also:November 1495. At the See also:age of twelve he entered the Carmelite monastery at See also:Norwich, removing later to the See also:house of " Holme," probably the See also:abbey of the Whitefriars at Hulne near See also:Alnwick. Later he entered Jesus See also:College, See also:Cambridge, and took his degree of B. D. in 1529. At Cambridge he came under the See also:influence of See also:Cranmer and of See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Wentworth, 1st See also:Baron Wentworth, and became an ardent See also:partisan of the Reformers. He laid aside his monastic See also:habit, and, as he himself puts it with characteristically brutal violence, " that I might never more serve so execrable a beast, I took to wife the faithful Dorothy." He obtained the living of Thornden, Suffolk, but in 1534 was summoned before the See also:archbishop of See also:York for a See also:sermon against the invocation of See also:saints preached at See also:Doncaster, and afterwards before See also:Stokesley, bishop of See also:London, but he escaped through the powerful See also:protection of Thomas See also:Cromwell, whose See also:notice he is said to have attracted by his See also:miracle plays. He was an unscrupulous controversialist, and in these plays he allows no considerations of decency to stand in the way of his denunciations of the monastic See also:system and its supporters. The See also:prayer of Infidelitas which opens the second See also:act of his Thre See also:Laws (quoted by T. See also:Warton, Hist. Eng. See also:Poetry, See also:sect. 41) is an example of the'lengths to which he went in profane See also:parody. These coarse and violent productions were well calculated to impress popular feeling, and no doubt Cromwell found in him an invaluable See also:instrument. But on his See also:patron's fall in 1540 Bale fled with his wife and See also:children to See also:Germany. He returned on the See also:accession of See also:Edward VI. He received the living of Bishopstoke, See also:Hampshire, being promoted in 1552 to the Irish see of Ossory. He refused to be consecrated by the See also:Roman rite, which still obtained in the Irish See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

office during the ceremony (see his Vocacyon of John Bale to the Bishopperycke of Ossorie, Hari. Misc. vol. vi.). He pushed his See also:Protestant propaganda in See also:Ireland with no regard to expediency, and when the accession of See also:Mary inaugurated a reaction in matters of See also:religion, it was with difficulty that he was got safely out of the See also:country. He tried to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape to See also:Scotland, but on the voyage was captured by a Dutch See also:man-of-far, which was driven by stress of See also:weather to St. Ives in See also:Cornwall. Bale was arrested on suspicion of See also:treason, but soon released. At See also:Dover he had another narrow escape, but he eventually made his way to See also:- HOLLAND

Holland and thence to See also:Frankfort and See also:Basel. During his See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile he devoted himself to See also:writing. After his return, on the accession of See also:Elizabeth, he received (i56o) a prebendal See also:- STALL (0. Eng. steall, stael, cf. Du. stal, Ger. and Swed. Stall, a common Teutonic word for a place, station, place for standing in; the root is the Indo-European std–, to stand, seen also in Latin stabulum, Greek vraO bs, and in stallion, an entire hors
stall at See also:Canterbury. He died in November 1563 and was buried in the See also:cathedral.
The scurrility and vehemence with which " foul-mouthed Bale," as See also:Wood calls him, attacked his enemies does not destroy the value of his contributions to literature, though his strong See also:bias against Roman See also:Catholic writers does detract from the See also:critical value of his See also:works. Of his mysteries and miracle plays only five have been preserved, but the titles of the others, quoted by himself in his Catalogus, show that they were animated by the same See also:political and religious aims. The Thre Laws of Nature,' See also:Moses and See also:Christ, corrupted by the Sodomytes, See also:Pharisees and Papystes most wicked (pr. 1538 and again in 1562) was a morality See also:play. The direction for the dressing of the parts is instructive: " Let See also:Idolatry be decked like an old See also:witch, Sodomy like a See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger.

Misc. vol. i.) were all written in 1538. His plays are doggerel, but he is a figure of some dramatic importance as the author of Kynge Johan (c.1548), which marks the transition between the old morality play and the English See also:historical See also:drama. It does not appear to have directly influenced the creators of the See also:chronicle histories. To the authors of the Troublesome Raigne of See also:- KING

King John (1591) it was apparently unknown, but it is noteworthy that an See also:attempt, however feeble, at historical drama was made fourteen years before the See also:production of See also:Gorboduc. Kynge Johan (ed. J. P. See also:Collier, See also:Camden See also:Soc. 1838) is itself a polemic against the Roman Catholic Church. King John is represented as the See also:champion c English See also:rites against the Roman see:
" This See also:noble Kynge Johan, as a faythfull Moses
Withstode proude Pharao for his See also:poore See also:Israel." But the English See also:people remained in the bondage of See also:Rome,
" Tyll that See also:duke Josue, whych was our See also:late Kynge Henrye,
Clerely brought us out in to the lande of mylke and honye." Elsewhere John is called a Lollard and accused of " heretycall langage," and he is finally poisoned by a monk of Swinestead. Allegorical characters are mixed with the real persons. Ynglonde vidua, represents the nation, and the jocular See also:element is provided by Sedwyson (See also:sedition), who would have been the See also:Vice in a pure morality play. One actor was obviously intended to play many parts, for See also:stage directions such as " Go out Ynglond, and See also:dress for Clargy are by no means uncommon. The MS. of Kynge Johan was discovered between 1831 and 1838 among the See also:corporation papers at See also:Ipswich, where it was probably performed, for there are references to charitable See also:foundations by King John in the See also:town and neighbourhood. It is described at the end of the MS. as two plays, but there is no obvious See also:division, the end of the first act alone being noted. The first See also:part is corrected by Bale and the latter See also:half is in'his See also:handwriting, but his name nowhere occurs. In the See also:list of his works, however, he gives a play De Joanne Anglorum Rege, written in idiomate materno.
But Bale's most important See also:work is Illustrium majoris Britanniae scriptorum, hoc est, Angliae, Cambriae, ac Scotiae Summarium . .. (Ipswich and See also:Wesel, for John Overton, 1548, 1549). This contained five centuries, but another edition, almost entirely rewritten and containing fourteen centuries, was printed at Basel with the See also:title Scriptorum illustrium majoris Britanniae .. . Catalogus (1557-1559). The See also:chronological See also:catalogue of See also:British authors and their works was partly founded on the Collectanea and See also:Commentarii of John See also:Leland, but Bale was an indefatigable See also:collector and worker, and himself examined many of the valuable See also:libraries of the Augustinian and Carmelite houses before their See also:dissolution. In his notebook he records as an instance of the wholesale destruction in progress: " I have bene also at Norwyche, our second citye of name, and there all the library monuments are turned to the use of their grossers, candelmakers, sopesellers, and other worldly occupyers . . . As much have. I saved there and in certen other places in Northfolke and Southfolke concerning the authors names and titles of their worker, as I could, and as much wold I have done through out the whole See also:realm, yf I had been able to have See also:borne the charges, as I am not." His work is therefore invaluable, in spite of the inaccuracies and the abuse lavished on Catholic writers, for it contains much See also:information that would otherwise have been hopelessly lost.
A list of Bale's works is to be found in Athenae Cantabrigienses (vol. I. pp. 227 et seq.). Beside the reprints already mentioned, The See also:Examinations of See also:Lord See also:Cobham, See also:- WILLIAM

Oxford. It contains the materials he collected for his two published catalogues arranged alphabetically, with no attempt at See also:ornament of any See also:kind, and with-out the personalities which deface his completed work. He also gives in most cases the See also:sources from which his information was derived. This book was prepared for publication with notes by Dr R.

John Pits or Pitseus (156o-1616), an English Catholic exile, founded on Bale's work his Relationum historicarum de See also:rebus anglicis tomus See also:primus (See also:Paris, 1619), better known by its See also:running title of
De illustribus Angliae serfptoribus. This is really the See also:fourth book of a more extensive work. He omits the Wycliffite and Protestant divines mentioned by Bale, and the most valuable See also:section is the lives of the Catholic exiles See also:resident in See also:Douai and other See also:French towns. He does not See also:scruple to assert (Nota de Joanne Bale) that Bale's Catalogus was a misrepresent2`:on of Leland's See also:matter, though there is every See also:reason to believe that he was only acquainted with Leland's work at second-See also:hand, through Bale.
