CHAP and did much towards alienating the latter still further from the Church. Poor Bishop Fisher's words to the Convocation in his speech on the Supremacy seemed as if they were going to be realized, and the nation had "leaped out of Peter's ship to be drowned in the waves of all heresies, sects, schisms, and divisions."
During the remainder of Henry the Eighth's reign the anti-Church party went on gaining strength in spite of the aversion which the King bore to them. They had the secret support of Cromwell until his death, and no small encouragement from the Erastianism of Cranmer; while the profligate Duke of Suffolk, the King's brother-in-law, was altogether on their side. The restraint which the King placed on the actual Reformation in his latter years was much in their favour, for there was a widely-spread desire for its completion, and in the absence of an official re-settlement of the Church, men were tempted to innovate and to give way to innovators; and thus to go into wild extremes for want of wise and authoritative guidance. The end was that when, in the next reign, attempts were made to carry on the Reformation in the direction in which it had been begun, a large party had been consolidated whose object was to destroy the ancient Church of England, and to found a new community in the place of it, from which the distinctive principles of the Church of England should be eliminated.
