Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Publications of the Catholic Truth Society, Vol. 3
Mary. He was baptized at Whitehall; King Philip, whose name he received, being one of his godfathers. His father, Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, - son of the poet Earl of Surrey, the last of Henry the Eight's many innocent victims, - was beheaded by Queen Eliza beth in 1572. He was a man of good moral character, but inclined to favour the preachers of the new learn ing, being indeed the protector and patron of the infamous apostate John Bale, as also of John Fox, the author of that pestilent book called Acts and Monuments. In spite of his father's Protestantism, to which he also nominally adhered, we find that Philip's early education was for a time superintended by Gregory Martin, a learned Oxford scholar and, moreover, a very devout Catholic.
