About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII CONCLUSION The great Cardinal as a Churchman--A courtier's life--The higher qualities of the Churchman--His character bears examination--The greatest Churchman of his age--His "faults and failings"--His supposed illegitimate children--An examination of the evidence--Unlikely--Formulated by his enemies--The age tolerated Alexander VI.--No defence needed--Insufficient proof--Thomas Winter--Dorothy Clansey--Trading on Cromwell's feeling--The other side--Wolsey's great expiation--" The blessedness of being little"--" He died fearing God." I Have set before the reader a picture of the great Cardinal as a Churchman, and have drawn the details from the records of his work. I have shown him in the midst of a courtier's life still preserving the higher qualities of the Churchman. Even in this capacity his character, to use the words of Mr. Brewer, "need not apprehend an examination still more rigid and more dispassionate." Truth to say, the more Wolsey is studied in the setting of his own times, the greater every way does he appear. He stands head and shoulders above all his ecclesiastical contemporaries. A word as to "those faults and failings the least consistent with his ecclesiastical profession" to which Mr. Brewer refers. It is said that Wolsey left behind him two illegitimate children, a son and a daughter, "by one Lark's daughter," Shakespeare's "nut-brown maid." Going very carefully into the whole question, I must confess that I have been unable to come to any definite conclusion. If such a liaison did exist, it must have been about the years 1509-10; and I leave it to the reader to consider whether it is likely so cautious a man as Wolsey, even with the lax ideas of those days, would have so ventured his reputation at that...
