Bias[edit]

This article needs a deal of rephrasing to get NPOV.

Parts seem to be written from a combatatively pro-Protestant/anti-Catholic: it reads like quotations of John Foxxe, who is reliable when re-printing documents but not reliable when passing on gossip and oral tradition: when Foxe is used it should be prefaced to warn users that Foxe is reporting or is passing on what people alleged, not what is necessarily true.

Muddled[edit]

The account is very muddled. How is it possible that Tewkesbury was arrested and tried by the predecessor of the bishop who examined Constantine to get the information that then caused the warrant for Tewkesbury's arrest? Time travel?

Were there, perhaps, two incidents: a first arrest with the stick as the punishment (which happened for minor heresy or abjuration), then a second arrest with dire results (as a relapsed or obstinate heretic)? Rick Jelliffe (talk) 13:37, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have slightly unmuddled it, mainly by better headings. Rick Jelliffe (talk) 13:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
