The Age of the Reformation

CHAPTER I
610/1552

On October 12, 1537, she bore him a son, Edward.

Forced by her husband to take part in the christening, an exhausting ceremony too much for her strength, she sickened and died soon afterwards.
[Sidenote: Lutheran tracts] In the meantime the Lutheran movement was growing apace in England.

In the last two decades of Henry's reign seven of Luther's tracts and some of his hymns were translated into English.

Five of the tracts proved popular enough to be reprinted.

One of them was _The Liberty of a Christian Man_, turned into English by John Tewkesbury whom, having died for his faith, More called "a stinking martyr." The hymns and some of the other tracts were Englished by Miles Coverdale.
