Source A From a letter to Peter Martyr from John Jewel, March 1559. Both were leading theologians in the reign of Edward VI and went to Switzerland during Mary I’s reign. The bishops are a great problem for us. As you know, they are among the leading men in the Upper House and there is no one on our side to expose their lies. The bishops dominate the House either by their numbers or by their reputation for learning. The Queen, meanwhile, though she openly favours our cause, is afraid to allow any changes. This is partly due to the advice of her own friends, and partly to the influence of Count Feria, a Spaniard and Philip’s ambassador. She is however, firmly and piously following her own purpose, though somewhat more slowly than we could wish. And though at the beginning our cause seemed somewhat unfavourable, there is now, nevertheless, hope that all will be well. The Queen regards you most highly. She made so much of your letter of support that she read it over with the greatest eagerness a second and third time.
