Can't lie. Read the marginal notes, skimming the text as I went through. The refutation of the bishop of Winchester is repetitive, and quite dry. Far more engaging are the recorded dialogues toward the end of the book. These dialogues were taken by stenography while he was a prisoner on trial, and would be interesting to a student of debate. Folks in that day debated a little differently than we did.
The final dialogue, however, is worth the price of admission. Cranmer was brought out to interview a candidate for the ministry. Fascinating exchange.
This book would be of interest only to those studying debates of the sacrament in reformation England. No general interest book here, and that's okay.
