STC 1274. <br /><br />Bale's <i>Englysh votaryes</i> established the received history of the English church and Reformation including the notions that the English church was the purest of the early Christian churches and that the entire history of England could be understood as s battle against the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. Bale's anti-Catholic chronicle full of salacious accounts of medieval English clergy had a decisive influence on John Foxe and his Book of Martyrs.<br /><br /> "… Bale established the myth of the pristine pre-Augustinian English Church the golden age before 597 which was to be influential in Elizabethan thought and a useful weapon against Puritan iconoclasm. But Bale's target in The Actes was still the Roman Church. His purpose was not to show that in this golden age surplices had existed but rather that clerical celibacy had not. … Though the Marian experience and events of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period the Bull of 1570 the miraculous deliverance in 1588 and the Gunpowder Plot of 1604 being the most obvious combined to heighten and reinforce English anti-Catholicism its historical justification stemmed from Bale's earliest works particularly the 'Actes of the Englysh Votaryes."
