Page 322.-BISHOP GHEAST. It should have been remarked in the text that he was the principal compiler of the Liturgy of the Church of England, now in use-" having been appointed (in the words of Strype) by Secretary sir William Cecil, in the room of archbishop Parker, who was absent some part of the time by reason of sickness. Him the secretary required diligently to compare both king Edward's Communion Prayer Books together, and from them both to frame a Book for the use of the Church of England, by correcting and amending, altering and adding, or taking away, according to his judgement and the ancient Liturgies-which when he had done, and a new service book being finished by him and the others appointed thereto, the said Geste conveyed it to the Secretary with a letter now extant, and containing his reasons for his own alterations and additions, and therein particular satisfaction given to divers things, many of which seem to have been hints and questions of the Secretary, pursuant to the settlement of the Liturgy; concluding his letter with these remarkable words, which were literally followed, and which have been from that time to the present gradually and progressively fulfilling: Thus I think I have showed good cause why the service is set forth in such sort as it is. God for his mercy in Christ, cause the Parliament with one voice to enact it, and the realm with true heart to use it."

It appears that at the end of Cent. duodecima, by John Bale, is an appendix, entitled "Placet his addere Scriptores nostræ ætatis," at page 107 of which is the following entry by John Bale :

"Edmundus Gest bonorum authorum frequentatione ab ipsâ adolescentiâ optime formatus, in promovendâ veritatis doctrinâ studium omne collocabat ac tandem scripsit.' "Contra Missam Papisticam, Lib. 1." "De Christi Præsentiâ in Cœnâ, Lib. I." "De Libero Hominis Arbitrio, Lib. I." "Non nullaque alia. Claruit Ann. Dom. 1550."

So that Bale does not altogether omit him as expressed in the text. These books and several others are enumerated and particularized by Tanner; Bib. Brit. page 315.
