The Strange Sacramental Thought of the Ever-memorable John Hales of Eton]]></title><description><![CDATA[In his undated Tract on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper , the “ever-memorable” John Hales [1584-1656], fellow of Eton, proposed the curious and idiosyncratic view that Holy Communion might be celebrated without the words of consecration. Since the patristic period, sacramental validity had required both “matter” and “form” (form being the words used in the ritual).  Was Hales’s suggestion merely an intellectual exercise, or was he truly promoting such a heterodox theological view of a...]]></description><link>https://frdanielgraves.wixsite.com/daniel-f-graves/post/worship-without-words-the-strange-sacramental-thought-of-the-ever-memorable-john-hales-of-eton</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d178ea535e7bcd269d7cd2</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 20:49:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f399f3_6fc7c950316847d9a25e8216945f90ad~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_506,h_800,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Daniel Graves</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heavenly Ascent: The relation of Peter Martyr Vermigli’s Preface to the Oxford Treatise and Disputation on the Eucharist to the introduction of the Edwardian Prayer Books]]></title><description><![CDATA[On June 9, (Whitsunday) 1549, the first English Prayer Book came into official use throughout the kingdom of Edward VI. Less than two weeks prior (May 29, 30, and June 1), the Florentine reformer Peter Martyr Vermigli, who had come to England at the invitation to Archbishop Cranmer to serve as the Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford, participated in Disputation  on the Holy Eucharist at that same university.

Sisson and David Novarr have dismissed Izaak Walton’s story of the destruction of Richard Hooker’s manuscripts as pure invention.  This paper  re-evaluates Walton’s evidence, the hearsay chancery suit witness of the Staple Inn lawyer, Edmund Parbo, and the relationship of members of Hooker’s family to the list of possible culprits. The paper concludes that it is very likely that Hooker’s manuscripts were vandalized and that this act of vandalism ought...]]></description><link>https://frdanielgraves.wixsite.com/daniel-f-graves/post/the-destruction-of-richard-hooker-s-manuscripts-revisited</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d173081104be1b5b1903d0</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 20:29:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f399f3_fec623f76101486caa69a6509b5033d2~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_213,h_319,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Daniel Graves</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
