Church. Martin's tracts are characterized by violent and See also:personal invective against the See also:Anglican dignitaries, by the See also:assumption that the writer had numerous and powerful adherents and was able to enforce his demands for reform, and by a See also:plain and homely See also:style combined with pungent wit. While he maintained the puritan doctrines as a whole, the See also:special point of his attack was the See also:Episcopacy. The pamphlets were printed at a See also:secret See also:press established by See also:John See also:Penry, a Welsh puritan, with the help of the printer See also:Robert See also:Waldegrave, about midsummer 1588, for the issue of puritan literature forbidden by the authorities. The first See also:tract by " Martin Marprelate," known as the See also:Epistle, appeared at Molesey in See also:November 1588. It is in See also:answer to A See also:Defence of the See also:Government established in the Church of Englande, by Dr. John See also:Bridges, See also:dean of See also:Salisbury, itself a reply to earlier puritan See also:works, and besides attacking the episcopal See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office in See also:general assails certain prelates with much personal abuse. The Epistle attracted considerable See also:notice; and a reply was written by See also:- THOMAS

Cooper, See also:bishop of See also:Winchester, under the See also:title An Admonition to the See also:People of See also:England, but this was too See also:long and too dull to See also:appeal to the same class of readers as the Marprelate pamphlets, and produced little effect. Penry's press, now removed to Fawsley, near See also:Northampton, produced a second tract by Martin, the See also:Epitome, which contains more serious See also:argument than the Epistle but is otherwise similar, and shortly afterwards, at See also:Coventry, Martin's reply to the Admonition, entitled See also:Hay any Worke for Cooper (See also:March 1589). It now appeared to some of the ecclesiastical authorities that the only way to silence Martin was to have him attacked in his own railing style, and accordingly certain writers of ready wit, among them John See also:Lyly, Thomas See also:Nashe and Robert See also:Greene, were secretly commissioned to answer the pamphlets. Among the productions of this See also:group were Pappe with an See also:Hatchet (See also:Sept. 1589), probably by Lyly, and An See also:Almond for a Parrat (1590), which, with certain tracts under the pseudonym of Pasquil, has been attributed to Nashe (q.v.). Some See also:anti-Martinist plays or shows (now lost) performed in 1589 were perhaps also their See also:work. Meanwhile, in See also:July 1589, Penry's press, now at Wolston, near Coventry, produced two tracts purporting to be by " sons " of Martin, but probably by Martin himself, namely, Theses Martinianae by Martin Junior, and The Just Censure of Martin Junior by Martin See also:Senior. Shortly after this, More Work for Cooper, a sequel to Hay any Worke, was begun at See also:Manchester, but while it was in progress the press was seized. Penry however was not found, and in See also:September issued from Wolston or Haseley The Protestation of Martin
See also:Mar See also:prelate, the last work of the See also:series, though several of the anti-Martinist pamphlets appeared after this date. He then fled to See also:Scotland, but was later apprehended in See also:London, charged with inciting See also:rebellion, and hanged (May 1593). The author-See also:ship of the tracts has been attributed to several persons: to Penry himself, who however emphatically denied it and whose acknowledged works have little resemblance in style to those of Martin, to See also:Job See also:Throckmorton, and to See also:- HENRY
