LIVES

OF THE

ARCHBISHOPS OF CANTERBURY

BY

WALTER FARQUHAR HOOK, D.D. F.R.S.

DEAN OF CHICHESTER.

VOL. V. NEW SERIES.

REFORMATION PERIOD.

History which may be called just and perfect history is of three kinds, according to the object which
it propoundeth or pretendeth to represent; for it either representeth a time, or a person, or an action.
The first we call Chronicles, the second Lives, and the third Narratives or Relations. Of these, although
Chronicles be the most complete and absolute kind of history, and hath most estimation and glory, yet
Lives excelleth in profit and use, and Narratives or Relations in verity or sincerity. LORD BACON.
