Final blank leaf professionally repaired. Overall a very good copy.<br> <br> It was perhaps as early as 1516 that Cardinal Wolsey anxious to distract him from more worldly preoccupations first encouraged Henry VIlI to embark on a serious rejoinder to Luther 49. In so doing Wolsey wrought his own downfall and this was perhaps the least of the consequences of 'The Assertion of the Seven Sacraments' one of the most fateful books in the history of western civilisation. Despite his unfeigned zeal to extirpate heresy it was not until Henry began to take a serious interest in foreign affairs that he realised the practical value which such a work might have if dedicated to the Pope. It is difficult to estimate the spiritual influence of the papacy at a time when the vast majority of Christendom saw It as a not specially powerful temporal state; but it was none the less felt. How much Henry's anxiety to complete the book between May and July 1521 was activated real if romantic desire to become the champion of the papacy it is hard to say. This point of view may be supported by Henry's statement to a startled and incredulous Thomas More 47 that 'from that See we received our crown imperial. More could see the dangers of so firm commitment to the temporal if not to the spiritual power of the papacy and his misgivings were soon to be justified a hundredfold. Henry gained the recognition he sought from Leo X the title of Fidei Defensor. But had he not made so absolute an admission of papal authority it is unlikely that he would have felt so personally slighted by the Pope's refusal to give him his way in his 'great matter' the divorce from Catherine of Aragon; unlikely that he would have turned with such vehemence on almost all the advisers. More among them who had made his reign so successful hitherto; unlikely that he would have claimed the royal supremacy in the Church; unlikely- but there speculation must stop. Suffice it to say that the publication of the Assertio must be considered to mark a critical moment in the history of the English Reformation." PMM 50.<br> <br> ESTC S123359. PMM 50.
