In spite of the recent modest interest in Christopher St. German, we have little to go on when contemplating the beginning of his career in controversy at about the time of the second session of the Reformation Parliament. However, a work that has gone almost unnoticed by students of St. German’s role in Cromwellian reform is a set of proposals for parliamentary authority in spiritual matters that were appended to the 1531 editions of A dyaloge in Englysshe and The Secunde dyaloge in Englysshe. These proposais, which bore the heading “Newe Addycyons,” are the earliest certain indication of St. German’s interest in several controversial bills and petitions that were before parliament in the sessions of 1529 and 1531; and they amount to persuasive evidence that it was not the divorce but, rather, the question of parliament’s authority to rule in ecclesiastical matters that led him into controversy
