Was Head of the Church, and had the ultimate decision on points of doctrine so long as he lived. Cranmer himself, as we have seen, ^ even when asked his opinion on questions of theology, gave it with great deference, not presuming that his own view must be considered authoritative. But when the old Head of the Church was dead, and his functions had descended to a boy with councillors both in secular and spiritual matters, who could doubt that in spiritual matters the Archbishop of Canterbury to...ok the lead? The theory that there was to be no innovation in spiritual things during the minority had little to say for itself in a revolutionary time ; and Cranmer doubtless did the best he could do. Moreover, in justice to his own sincere belief, he could not mince matters. Conversations with Ridley and with John a Lasco had only led him to the conviction that his own natural belief was shared so largely by English and foreign divines who rejected the papacy, that it was the true Catholic belief on a subject of high importance ; and the answers of leading English divines to his questions at least did nothing to shake him in that opinion.
