A
LIFE OF
Dr
HUMPHREY PRIDEAUX
Transcribed and Combined from two MSS
of Edmond Prideaux ( his son )
of Padstow, Cornwall.
These provide a remarkable insight into the church of the
time,
and its relationship with the people and the throne,
besides being a history of Dr Prideaux and his contribution
to society and our history.
It certainly touches on some raw nerves as far as the Royal
Household and the Church was concerned, and it is no wonder that Edmond
prefaced his MSS with the note that there were matters which were too sensitive
to be included in a contemporary history.
It includes details of illness and surgery in graphic
detail,
as well as information and comment on secular life of the
time.
This is the story of a man who would not allow matters to
rest
without comment or action.
I have divided the text into “chapters” for ease of
reading.
Transcribed as written.
