Summary
Chapter 3 rejects the previous characterisation by Godfrey Anstruther of the period from 1559 to 1655 as a hundred ’homeless’ years, to see how a few Englishmen joined Dominican houses on the continent and how some of these returned to work on the English mission where they frequently resided in their family homes. It notes the public apostasy of friars who lacked the support of an organised mission, and how attempts were made in the latter part of the period to put a stronger organisation in place.
