Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The English Works of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, Vol. 1: Born, 1459; Died, June 22, 1535
Tower, are important evidences of Fisher's calm courage in the pros pect of death, and of the humility which adds a crowning grace to his virtuous life. The long treatise concerning the penitential psalms, though of less enduring interest, contains here and there bursts of manly eloquence which, with the sermons on the king and princess, entitle the writer to an honorable name among the early masters of English prose.
