|b(Foxe, John (1516/17-1587), martyrologist; one of the
most prominent members of the Elizabethan church; a
significant figure in the development of practical
divinity and spiritual healing in England; born at Boston,
Lincolnshire; lived in Coningsby while growing up; entered
Brasenose College about 1534; bachelor's degree 17 July
1537; elected a full fellow of Magdalen College in July
1539; became a committed evangelical, part of a network of
Oxford evangelicals; resigned his fellowship in 1545; in

Titus et Gesippus, a Latin comedy based on one of
Boccaccio's tales; moved to London (Stepney) in the summer
or autumn of 1547; translation of a sermon of Martin
Luther published 1547; other translations of religious
works for the evangelical printer Hugh Singleton; wrote

the Earl of Surrey -- the future Thomas, fourth Duke of
Norfolk, Jane, Countess of Westmorland, Henry, Earl of
Northampton, and Charles Howard, the commander of the
English fleet against the Spanish Armada; friendship with
John Bale, who loaned Foxe valuable manuscripts and
certainly encouraged, very probably guided, Foxe in the
composition of his first martyrology; profound influence
on Foxe's martyrologies; ordained deacon by Nicholas
Ridley on 24 June 1550; during reign of Mary [I], in exile
in Strasbourg (where Commentarii rerum in ecclesia
gestarum was printed, 1554), Frankfurt (autumn 1554-Aug/
Sept 1555), Basel (by 22 September 1555-1559), at the
centre of networks of Protestant scholarship; works
included Christus triumphans, an allegorical drama in

immediately and universally referred to as Foxe's "Book of
martyrs" (first edition 1563): the bulk of the work covers
church history from Wyclif until the accession of
Elizabeth, but an introductory section provides an
overview of church history, particularly papal history,
from the year 1000; Acts and monuments made Foxe England's
first literary celebrity; Foxe's partner in a number of
projects after John Bale's death was Henry Bull; preached
Sermon of Christ crucified on Good Friday 1570 (6 editions
during his lifetime, translated into Latin in 1571);
edition of Cranmer's law code, Reformatio legum
ecclesiasticarum; works showing his abiding interest in
the twin arts of rhetoric and logic; edited a collection
of the works of William Tyndale, John Frith, and Robert
Barnes (1573); various translations of and introductions
to Luther's sermons; Eicasmi, seu, Meditationes in sacram
Apocalypsim (1587), his last great project, a massive
Latin commentary on Revelation with the assistance of his
son Samuel Foxe, published posthumously; died, at his
house in Grub Street in the parish of St Giles Cripplegate,
while the work was in progress, on 18 April 1587; buried
in St Giles Cripplegate on 20 April 1587, with memorial
recording that had died aged 70)
