Pious Prayers, supposed by Strype to be translations made by the archbishop in 1552 from the Orarium, seu libellus precationum, put forth by the king and clergy, he says, in 1545. The Orarium, however, is only the Latin form of English prayers with the litany, bearing the name of the Primer, published in 1544; devotions in the vernacular tongue being then directed to be 1 Bishop Sparrow's collection 1661, p. 25, seq.

The copies that then were printed were probably called in, as many as might be, and destroyed. One, however, was sent by Grindal to the English exiles, who reprinted it 1557. Valeran Pullan, (or Poullain,) the preacher to the French Protestants, who late in 1553 left the kingdom, appears to have taken another of the first copies away with him, and to have translated it into Latin in 1554. Peter Martyr also probably departed not from England without a copy; for he is said by Julius, his friend, to have told the archbishop, that he should have advised such a declaration, if it had not been already done. But Julius seems not to have been aware of the imperfect state of the declaration. 1 2 3 4 Disputation at Oxford, 1554. * Speech before the papal commissioners, 1555. 5 6 Appeal to a general council, 1555-6.

His share in the production of the Articles, the Institution, and the Necessary Doctrine, in the reign of Henry; of our Homilies, (besides three of them wholly his own,) our Liturgy and Articles in that of Edward; and of the Reformation of Ecclesiastical Laws in both; has, in the account of these respective formularies, been noticed. A great part of his own and other original papers, as well as his collection of printed books, were either embezzled during his imprisonment, or fell into the hands of his enemies, and were dispersed. Of the former archbishop Parker recovered 'several. To men of letters his library had been always open; and appears to have possessed treasures, which entirely to have replaced would have exercised, perhaps for many years, the keenest diligence of persons best acquainted with literary history. “I meet with authors here," said his friend, the learned Ascham, to the archbishop, “ which the two Universities cannot furnish." Some of the tracts at the opening of the Reformation, among the printed books in the Lambeth library, were probably his: a few larger Those in the library of Corpus Christi Coll. Camb. and some that are in the British Museum among Foxe's MSS. both often referred to by Burnet and Strype. His manuscripts undoubtedly were numerous. Morice, who was his secretary during twenty years, says," he was most painfully occupied in writing of no small volumes for him from time to time," historical as well as theological. 1 volumes that bear his autograph, obtained from other hands, are certainly there. Of those, which the British Museum possesses, two at least are very observable, as they relate to the writings of Erasmus; the one containing seven tracts upon the dispute between the illustrious man of Rotterdam and Lee, afterwards archbishop of York, who had attacked the first edition of his annotations upon the New Testament; the other, the Hyperaspistes, or Erasmus's reply to the Servum Arbitrium of Luther, of which several striking passages are underscored by Cranmer with red ink. Of his papers, which have been saved, some 1 Jortin, Erasm. ii. 495. 2 Dean Tucker, Lett. to Dr. Kippis, 97. 2 3 These are known by the name of the Stillingfleet manuscripts.
