Hugh+Latimer+and+Nicholas+Ridley

By Anna Kim and Madison Kremp
 * Chronology**: King Henry, King Edward, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth


 * Nicholas Ridley** became a protestant while studying at Cambridge and while Edward was King he was the Bishop of Rochester. He helped in the making of the first English Book of Common Prayer. When Mary came to power he was arrested and burned with Hugh Latimer.


 * Hugh Latimer** was a famous preacher who lived in England in the time of Bloody Mary (Queen Mary). He was the Bishop of Worcester but resigned after King Henry didn't allow the protestant reforms he wanted. When King Henry died and Mary came to the throne, she had him arrested and burned with Nicholas Ridley. Hugh Latimer's famous last words are "Be of good cheer, Master Ridley, and play the man, for we shall this day light such a candle in England as I trust by God's grace shall never be put out."


 * Significance:** The significance of Latimer's last words was, that himself and Mister Ridely was going to stir up a new cause or a new hope for the English from the power of God's grace and that hope will go on forever and never be lost. Latimer's quote is also significant because it tells people to stand up for what they believe in: "and play the man" shows that LAtimer believes what they did was right and should forever be looked at for generations to come.
