Gilbert Burnet 1643 1715 was a Scottish theologian and historian and Bishop of Salisbury Sarum. He was fluent in Dutch French Latin Greek and Hebrew. Burnet was respected as a cleric a preacher and an academic as well as a writer and historian. He was associated with the Whig party. In the mid-1670s a French translation of Nicholas Sanders' De origine et progressu schismatio Anglicani libri tres 1585 appeared. Sanders attacked the English Reformation as a political act carried on by a corrupt king. Several of Burnet's friends wished him to publish a rebuttal of the work so in 1679 his first volume of The History of the Reformation of the Church of England was published. This covered the reign of Henry VIII; the second volume 1681 covered the reign of Elizabeth and the Elizabethan Religious Settlement; the third volume 1714 consisted of corrections and additional material.1 His literary reputation was greatly enhanced by this publication. The Parliament of England voted thanks for Burnet after the publication of the first volume and in 1680 the University of Oxford awarded Burnet the degree of Doctor of Divinity on the advice of William Sancroft Archbishop of Canterbury. For over a century this was the standard reference work in the field although Catholics disputed some of its content. Thomas Babington Macaulay describes Burnet in relation to the king he served William of Orange: "When the doctor took liberties which was not seldom the case his patron became more than usually cold and sullen and sometimes uttered a short dry sarcasm which would have struck dumb any person of ordinary assurance. In spite of such occurrences however the amity between this singular pair continued with some temporary interruptions till it was dissolved by death. Indeed it was not easy to wound Burnet's feelings. His self-complacency his animal spirits and his want of tact were such that though he frequently gave offence he never took it." - History of England Vol. 2 Ch 7. .
