Disturbed by this assertion, William Heale [1581?-1627], a chaplain-fellow at Exeter College, published this stirring response. His case is substantiated by his solid examination of civil and canon law in reference to this subject. The Dictionary of National Biography VII: 797 (Gager) and IX:331 (Heale).
