Oxford, where he was the See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil of John See also:Harding or See also:Hawarden, and had for See also:room-See also:mate See also:Alexander See also:Nowell, afterwards See also:dean of St. See also:Paul's. His authenticated connexion at the university is, however, with Magdalen College. He took his B.A. degree in 1537 and his M.A. in 1543• He was lecturer on See also:logic in 1540-1541. He wrote several Latin plays on Scriptural subjects, of which the best, De Christo triumphante, was repeatedly printed, (See also:London, 1551; See also:Basel, 1556, &c.), and was translated into See also:English by See also:Richard See also:Day, son of the printer. He became a See also:fellow of Magdalen College in 1539, resigning in 1545. It is said that he refused to conform to the rules for See also:regular attendance at See also:chapel, and that he protested both against the enforced See also:celibacy of See also:fellows and the See also:obligation to take See also:holy orders within seven years of their See also:election. The customary statement that he was expelled from his fellowship is based on the untrustworthy See also:biography attributed to his son See also:Samuel Foxe, but the college records See also:state that he resigned of his own See also:accord and ex honesta causa. The See also:letter in which he protests to See also:President See also:Oglethorpe against the charges of irreverence, &c., brought against him is printed in See also:Pratt's edition (vol. i. Appendix, pp. 58-61).
On leaving Oxford he acted as See also:tutor for a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

See also:Late in 1547 or See also:early in the next See also:year he went to London. He found a See also:patron in See also:Mary See also:Fitzroy, duchess of See also:Richmond, and having been ordained See also:deacon by See also:Ridley in 1550, he settled at See also:Reigate See also:Castle, where he acted as tutor to the duchess's nephews, the See also:orphan See also:children of See also:- HENRY

On the See also:accession of See also:Queen Mary, Foxe was deprived of his tutorship by the boys' grandfather, the See also:duke of See also:Norfolk, who was now released from See also:prison. He retired to See also:Strassburg, and occupied himself with a Latin See also:history of the See also:Christian persecutions which he had begun at the See also:suggestion of See also:Lady Jane See also:Grey. He had assistance from two clerics of widely differing opinions—from See also:Edmund See also:Grindal, who was later, as See also:archbishop of See also:Canterbury, to maintain his Puritan convictions in opposition to See also:Elizabeth; and from John See also:Aylmer, afterwards one of the bitterest opponents of the Puritan party. This book, dealing chiefly with Wycliffe and See also:Huss, and coming down to 1500, formed the first outline of the Actes and Monuments. It was printed by Wendelin Richelius with the See also:title of See also:Commentarii rerum in See also:ecclesia gestarum (Strasburg, 1554). In the year of its publication Foxe removed to See also:Frankfort, where he found the English See also:colony of See also:Protestant refugees divided into two camps. He made a vain See also:attempt to See also:frame a See also:compromise which should be accepted by the extreme Calvinists and by the partisans of the See also:Anglican See also:doctrine. He removed (1555) to Basel, where he worked as printer's reader to Johann Herbst or Oporinus. He made steady progress with his See also:great book as he receivedreports from See also:England of the religious persecutions there, and he issued from the See also:press of Oporinus his pamphlet Ad inclytos ac praepotentes Angliae proceres . . . supplicatio (1557), a plea for See also:toleration addressed to the English See also:nobility. In 1559 he completed the Latin edition' of his See also:martyrology and returned to England. He lived for some time at Aldgate, London, in the house of his former pupil, See also:- THOMAS

exile. Foxe was ordained See also:priest by Edmund Grindal, See also:bishop of London, in 156o, and besides much See also:literary See also:work he occasionally preached at Paul's See also:Cross and other places.

Church but for the Puritan views which he consistently maintained. He held, however, the prebend of See also:Shipton in See also:Salisbury See also:cathedral, and is said to have been for a short time See also:rector of Cripplegate.
In 1563 was issued from the press of John Day the first English edition of the Actes and Monuments of these latter and perillous Dayes, touching matters of the Church, wherein are comprehended and described the great Persecution and horrible Troubles that have been wrought and practised by the Romishe Prelates, speciallye in this Realme of England and See also:Scotland, from the yeare of our Lorde a thousande to the time now See also:present. Gathered and collected according to the true Copies and Wrytinges certificatorie as well of the Parties themselves that Suffered, as also out of the Bishop's Registers, which were the Doers thereof, by John Foxe, commonly known as the Book of Martyrs. Several See also:gross errors which had appeared in the Latin version, and had been since exposed, were corrected in this edition. Its popularity was immense and See also:signal. The Marian persecution was still fresh in men's minds, and the graphic narrative intensified in its numerous readers the fierce hatred of See also:Spain and of the See also:Inquisition which was one of the See also:master passions of the reign.
Nor was its See also:influence transient. For generations the popular conception of See also:Roman Catholicism was derived from its See also:bitter pages. Its accuracy was immediately attacked by See also:Catholic writers, notably in the Dialogi See also:sex (1566), nominally from the See also:pen of Alan See also:Cope, but in reality by See also:Nicholas Harpsfield and by See also:Robert See also:Parsons in Three Conversions of England (1570). These criticisms induced Foxe to produce a second corrected edition, Ecclesiastical History, contayning the Actes and Monuments of things passed in every kynges tyme . . . in 1570, a copy of which was ordered by See also:Convocation to be placed in every collegiate church. Foxe based his accounts of the martyrs partly on See also:authentic documents and reports of the trials, and on statements received See also:direct from the See also:friends of the sufferers, but he was too hasty a worker and too violent a See also:partisan to produce anything like a correct or impartial See also:account of the See also:mass of facts with which he had to See also:deal. See also:Anthony a See also:Wood says that Foxe " believed and reported all that was told him, and there is every See also:reason to suppose that he was purposely misled, and continually deceived by those whose See also:interest it was to bring discredit on his work," but he admits that the book is a See also:monument of his See also:industry, his laborious See also:research and his sincere piety. The gross blunders due to carelessness have often been exposed, and there is no doubt that Foxe was only too ready to believe evil of the Catholics, and he cannot always be exonerated from the See also:charge of wilful falsification of See also:evidence. It should, however, be remembered in his See also:honour that his advocacy of religious toleration was far in advance of his day. He pleaded for the despised Dutch See also:Anabaptists, and remonstrated with John See also:Knox on the rancour of his First Blast of the See also:Trumpet. Foxe was one of the earliest students of Anglo-Saxon, and he and Day published an edition of the Saxon gospels under the patronage of Archbishop See also:Parker. He died on the 18th of See also:April 1587 and was buried at St See also:Giles's, Cripplegate.
' Printed by Oporinus and Nicolaus Brylinger. The title is Rerum in ecclesia gestarum . . . pars prima, in qua primum de See also:rebus per Angliam et Scotiam gestis atque in primis de horrenda sub Maria nu per See also:regina persecutione narratio continetur.
A See also:list of his Latin tracts and sermons is given by Wood, and others, some of which were never printed, appear in See also:Bale. Four See also:editions of the Actes and Monuments appeared in Foxe's lifetime. The eighth edition (1641) contains a memoir of Foxe purporting to be by his son Samuel, the MS. of which is in the See also:British Museum (See also:Lansdowne MS. 388). Samuel Foxe's authorship is disputed, with much show of reason, by Dr S. R. See also:Maitland in On the See also:Memoirs of Foxe ascribed to his Son (1841). The best-known See also:modern edition of the Martyrology is that (1837—1841) by the Rev. See also:Stephen R. Cattley, with an See also:introductory See also:life by See also:Canon See also:George Townsend. The numerous inaccuracies of this life and the frequent errors of Foxe's narrative were exposed by Dr Maitland in a See also:series of tracts (1837-1842), collected (1841—1842) as Notes on the Contributions of the Rev. George Townsend, M.A. . to the New Edition of See also:Fox's Martyrology. The See also:criticism lavished on Cattley and Townsend's edition led to a new one (1846—1849) under the same editorship. A new See also:text prepared by the Rev. See also:Josiah Pratt was issued (187o) in the " See also:Reformation Series " of the Church Historians of England, with a revised version of Townsend's Life and appendices giving copies of See also:original documents. Later edition by W. Grinton See also:Berry (1907).
Foxe's papers are preserved in the Harleian and Lansdowne collections in the British Museum. Extracts from these were edited by J. G. See also:Nichols for the See also:Camden Society (1859). See also W. Winters, See also:Biographical Notes on John Foxe (1876) ; See also:- JAMES
