Excerpt from Treatises and Letters of Dr. Nicholas Ridley: Bishop of London, and Martyr, 1555
In October, 1540, Ridley was appointed to the mastership of Pembroke-hall, which was then remarked for the learning and scriptural knowledge of its members, and, in the following year, he was nominated one of the prebendaries of Canterbury, where he preached so strongly against the abuses of popery, as to excite some of the bigoted ecclesiastics to accuse him of having offended against the laws then in force; but their malice was disappointed. He particularly contended that prayer should be made in a language which the people could under stand.
