The Life And Defence Of the Conduct And Principles Of the Venerable And Calumniated Edmund Bonner, Bishop Of London, in the Reigns Of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, And Elizabeth: The Best Mode Of Again Changing The Religion Of This Nation is a polemical work by a self-described Tractarian who defends Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London, against anti-Catholic Protestant caricature. The tract surveys Bonner’s life through the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, arguing that his severe actions against reformers were motivated by a commitment to Catholic orthodoxy and church unity. It presents Bonner as a learned canonist and faithful bishop who used both legal measures and persuasive exhortation to resist what the author characterizes as a gradual, “poisoning” strategy to restore Rome’s influence. The book defends Prayers for the Dead, the notion of an actual sacrifice in the Eucharist, the restoration of altars, and the Catholic traditions opposed by the Reformation, while detailing Bonner’s trials, restorations, and eventual exile. It frames the broader project as unprotestantizing England and reasserting episcopal authority within a Catholic framework.
