2 unusual facts about Humphrey Lynde


Humphrey Lynde

In 1623 Lynde published An Account of Bertram the Priest, with Observations concerning the Censures upon his Tract, “De Corpore et Sanguine Christi.” This was intended as an introduction to a tract against transubstantiation by Ratramnus, of which English translations had appeared in 1548 and 1582, and another, by William Guild, came out in 1624.

Lynde pursued his attacks on the Catholics in Via Devia, the Byway leading the Weak into unstable and dangerous Paths of Popish Error, London, 1630, and in reply to Floyd wrote A Case for the Spectacles, which William Laud refused to license (on the ground, according to William Prynne's Canterburies Doome, that Lynde was a layman); the work was not published in Lynde's lifetime.
