And there was Bucer, one of the most learned men, of whom the Papal Legate Contarini said : " Martin Bucer, by reason of the wide extent of his learning, could single-handed have been a match for all our Roman Catholic doctors." He sought security by acceptance of Cranmer's invitation, in England and soon was named by the young king as Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. Of him, Dr. Dowden, the present bishop of Edinburgh, says : " There can be no question as to the influence Bucer exerted upon... the construction of the first Prayer Book." Melancthon and Calvin were in close touch with all these workers at this new liturgy, both foreign and English. Heylin, a church historian, affirms, and it is repeated by Collier, that " the alterations made in these and other portions of the liturgy were owing to the remonstrances of Calvin, and the active co-operation of Martyr and Bucer." It is a curious statement made by a high church- man. Rev. Peter Hall, in his Fragmenta Liturqica. He says : "It appears that our English reformers intended to make the three or four first centuries the only pattern for themselves : and pur- posed to reform all the corrupt doctrines and practices of the Romish church, to make them agreeable to the practice of those first ages.
