General Editors’ Preface

he reputation of Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499–1562) rests largely on his rolein the Sacramentarian controversies of his time. This partial perception dis-

torts his career as biblical exegete. Volume 6 in our Library,

Commentary on theLamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah,

presents one of Vermigli’s lecture series pre-sented after he left Italy to join Martin Bucer at Strasbourg. The present volumeturns to Vermigli’s next academic appointment, as regius professor of divinity atOxford. He chose to lecture on Romans to address the ills of church and society, afitting complement to his lectures on 1 Corinthians.

The present book consists of only two of the treatises contained in Martyr’slarge and influential Romans commentary; they are among the longest of hisloci—those “commonplace” devices in vogue from the later Middle Ages andused increasingly by Martyr in his lectures, at least in their published form. Thesetwo are full-blown tracts, methodically developed and seeking to cover the chief“heads of doctrine.”

The doctrines of predestination and justification are familiar shorthand forthe Reformed faith. Each formed the center of a minor war of words and confer-ences, pitting the Reformed against Roman, Lutheran, and Anabaptist opponents.It is fortunate that in Frank James we have a scholar well acquainted with bothtopics and with Vermigli’s texts. Dr. James has studied and commented on themthrough many years and two doctorates; we are proud to introduce his first con-tribution to our Library through two of Vermigli’s substantive texts on disputedquestions. As Dr. James’s introduction makes clear, the polemical context informsVermigli’s teaching and provides foils for his attack. Here we meet such adversar-ies as Richard Smith of Oxford and Calvin’s old foe Albert Pighius as well as theTridentine doctors.

With this volume, series 1 of our Library is two-thirds complete. The remain-ing books are commentaries, on Aristotle’s

Nicomachean Ethics

and on the bibli-cal books of Genesis, Romans, and 1 Corinthians. Series 2 is in the planning stage.We hope that these translations of Martyr’s writings will encourage scholars toengage this admirable theologian and will show why he is a significant if neglectedplayer on the complex stage of the Reformation.

Translator’s Preface

redestination and justification are two of the most distinctive doctrines associ-ated with the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. This volume

presents Peter Martyr Vermigli’s most extensive discussions on these controversialtheological principles, drawn from his monumental commentary on the ApostlePaul’s letter to the Romans. It has long been my goal to understand the theologi-cal dynamics in Vermigli’s ecclesiastical transformation from a Roman Catholictheologian to a Protestant theologian. Two theological loci

,

one on predestinationand the other on justification, provide important avenues by which one may gaininsight into that profound transformation.

Not only did these two doctrines play a significant role in Vermigli’s decisionto abandon Rome; they also became the theological realms (besides sacramentaltheology) in which Vermigli made his most important contributions to the theol-ogy of the Reformed branch of Protestantism. Having access to these two loci

willenable scholars of the sixteenth century to gain additional insight into the theo-logical and biblical thinking of one of the formative thinkers of the Reformationand, perhaps most importantly, allow a glimpse into the theological diversityamong the early Reformers. My early scholarly effort on Vermigli, a doctoral dis-sertation at Oxford University on the historical origins of his doctrine of predesti-nation, brought unconventional conclusions. I expected to find a viewpoint thatmirrored Calvin’s, but found instead a theological perspective largely inspired bya fourteenth-century Augustinian, Gregory of Rimini. It seemed that Heiko A.Oberman’s quest for a theological link between the early reformation and the latemedieval

schola Augustiniana moderna

had been found in Vermigli. My interest in Vermigli was sufficient to inspire yet another doctoral disserta-

tion, this time in theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.The goal was to delve deeply into one of the most distinctive Protestant doc-trines—justification—and to measure Vermigli’s understanding against othergreat theological views of his day—Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed. Again,expectations as to what Vermigli would say on the topic had to be reconfigured. Ianticipated that he would be in conformity with the Lutherans and Reformedagainst the Catholics. Instead, what emerged from the research was a much morenuanced understanding of justification. Vermigli did retain some of the featuresof the Catholic Reform movement in Italy, especially those of the group associ-ated with Juan de Valdés. It may sound obvious from the distance of nearly five

centuries, but Vermigli, while clearly indebted to Luther, was not a Lutheran onthe matter of justification, nor for that matter, were many of his Reformed col-leagues such as Calvin, Bullinger, and Bucer. The doctrinal divide that becameapparent over time was evident early on in Vermigli’s doctrine of justification.

One of the lasting impressions gained from research into Vermigli’s thoughtis his profound biblical orientation. In some ways, that is his lasting legacy. If onehad asked Peter Martyr how he would like to be remembered, he might havepointed to his Bible and stated that he wanted only to promulgate the teaching ofScripture. More work needs to be done on his theology, especially on his biblicalcommentaries. To that end, the Peter Martyr Library editorial committee is nowfocusing on translations of his commentaries.

Special thanks to the managing editor of the Peter Martyr Library, PaulaPresley, whose untiring efforts and high standards make this a superb series.Finally, I thank my graduate assistant Kate Maynard for her efforts on behalf ofthis project and Daniel Timmerman of the Theologische Universiteit Apeldoornfor help in identifying obscure references.

I owe a great debt to my colleagues Pat Donnelly and Joe McLelland, whohave provided enormous assistance in the preparation of this volume. I am over-come with gratitude for the generosity and support of this American Jesuit andCanadian Presbyterian. I am especially grateful for their assistance in composi-tion of footnote references. This dedication is a small token of my affection andappreciation for these two extraordinary colleagues.

Predestination and Justification: Two Theological Loci

Translator’s Introduction

Prologue

t is a measure of Peter Martyr Vermigli’s influence in England that his regalportrait by Hans Asper is included in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

1

The piercing brown eyes of a rather handsome Peter Martyr look beyond the con-fines of his gilded frame as he points to his Bible. This portrait captures some-thing of the true spirit of this Italian theologian. It is as if, in full academic regalia,he is instructing his students to concentrate their undivided attention upon thisbook alone, much as he urged in his Oxford oration: “Let us immerse ourselvesconstantly in the sacred Scriptures, let us work at reading them, and by the gift ofChrist’s Spirit the things that are necessary for salvation will be for us clear, direct,and completely open.”

2

Vermigli’s fame rested in large part on his erudite biblical commentaries.

Wherever his journey led him, he could be found lecturing on the biblical text,whether in his earlier career as a Catholic theologian lecturing monks in Naplesand Lucca, or later in Protestant academies in Strasbourg, Zurich, or Oxford.During his lifetime his lectures on 1 Corinthians, Romans, and Judges were pub-lished; his lectures on Genesis, Lamentations, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kingswere published posthumously.

3

Although Vermigli had wide-ranging theologicaland polemical interests to which he devoted many pages, there is little doubt thathis primary calling was as a biblical commentator.

4

Along with Calvin and Bullin-ger, Vermigli was among the leading representatives of the Reformed tradition of

Translator’s Introduction

Protestant biblical commentators.

5

To begin to understand Martyr one mustappreciate that he was first and foremost a man of the book—a biblical scholar.

Peter Martyr Vermigli in England

Vermigli’s success in England left a bitter taste in the mouths of Catholics.When his wife, Catherine Dampmartin of Metz, died in Oxford in February of1553, Catholic hostility directed at her husband unfortunately found its mark inher. Even while alive, Catherine was the brunt of brutal sarcasm, orally and inprint.

6

Because she was a corpulent woman, the Catholics at Oxford nicknamedher “flaps” and “fusteluggs.” Shortly after Catherine’s death, Mary Tudor ascendedto the English throne, and a widowed Vermigli returned to Strasbourg. However,hatred for Vermigli ran so high among Catholics that they sought to cause himdistress by desecrating the body of his late wife.

7

Archbishop Reginald Pole, oncea close friend of Vermigli in Italy, had Catherine’s body exhumed and cast uponthe city dung heap,

8

ostensibly because she had been buried in close proximity tothe grave of St. Frideswyde, the patron saint of Oxford, in the Cathedral Church.

9

But the Catholics did not have the final word on Catherine’s remains. After Eliza-beth’s ascension in 1558 and the return of the Marian exiles, Catherine’s boneswere recovered from the dung heap and deliberately mingled with the bones of St.Frideswyde. Any desecration thereafter would risk desecrating the bones of St.Frideswyde—a risk most Catholics would be unwilling to take.

The deplorable episode dramatically illustrates the range of emotions theEnglish felt for the Italian immigrant theologian: detractors and advocates alikeviewed Vermigli as a particularly important symbol of Edwardian reform. C. H.Smyth writes, “Oxford, which had not taken kindly to the Renaissance, was

Whether Vermigliinspired intense animosity or devoted affection, it cannot be doubted that duringhis nearly six years in England (1547–53), he exercised a decisive influence uponits Reformation.

Of course, the earliest Protestant theological influence was that of Luther,whose books and pamphlets were smuggled into England by German merchantsand read in Cambridge by 1520. By March of 1521, Luther’s books were publiclyburned for the first time in England.

11

Even before the death of Henry VIII on 28January 1547, a new kind of Protestant influence began to take root on Englishsoil—a theological outlook more Swiss and Reformed than German andLutheran.

12

Archbishop Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury had been in corre-spondence with the Swiss Reformer of Basel, Simon Grynaeus, since 1531, andthrough Grynaeus, Cranmer became a frequent correspondent of Martin Bucerof Strasbourg.

13

This relationship with the Swiss manifested itself in an abortiveplan to form a theological alliance between the English church and the Swiss andSouth German Protestants on the continent.

14

For some years, Cranmer haddesired to improve ties between the English church and continental Protestant-ism.

15

With much of continental Protestantism in disarray after the victory ofCharles V in the Schmalkald war, Cranmer believed England could be the rally-ing point for a resurgent Protestantism. He even made plans to compose acommon doctrinal statement and to hold a “godly synod” of continental andEnglish Protestants to counter the effects of the Council of Trent (1545–63),conferring with such theologians as John Calvin, Philip Melanchthon, andHeinrich Bullinger about the proposal.

16

When Edward VI succumbed to tuber-culosis, Cranmer’s dreams were deferred.

xviii Translator’s Introduction

It is almost certain that Vermigli first came to the attention of Cranmerthrough the archbishop’s long-standing relationship with Bucer.17 As part ofCranmer’s desire to foster continental associations that would give impetus to areformation of the English church, he invited Vermigli and his fellow Italian refu-gee, Bernardino Ochino, to England. Cranmer’s warm welcome to Vermigli in thewinter of 1547 was followed by decisive support in the Oxford Disputation18 andfurther involvement in formulating English church policy.19 Of all the continentalReformers, Martyr exerted the greatest influence.20

This impression is reinforced by Cranmer’s response to the new Catholicregime. Immediately after Mary’s ascension, when Cranmer’s reformation wasunder severe attack, he bravely threw down the gauntlet and publicly declared on5 September 1553: “I with Peter Martyr and … others of my choosing” will defendthe Prayer Book as “more pure and more agreeable to the word of God than whathas been in England for the past thousand years.”21 Cranmer and Vermigli beganpreparing for a public disputation that never happened. Instead, Cranmer wascharged with treason and, on 14 September, the two friends shared a last supper,after which the archbishop told his friend that a trial was inevitable and that theywould never meet again. Cranmer was soon sent to the Tower, and Vermigli, afterentreaties by his famulus Giulio Santerenziano and William Whittingham, wasgranted permission to leave the country.22 The last known letter (1555) from thehand of Cranmer, as he languished in the Bocardo jail awaiting martyrdom, wasto his dear friend Peter Martyr.23 The growing scholarly consensus is that

17MacCulloch, Cranmer, 381, cites a letter of 28 November 1547 from Paris, Bibliothèque Ste-Geneviève MSS 1458, fols. 173v–75r, which reveals that Bucer specifically recommended to Cranmerthe Italian exile Emmanuel Tremelli (1510–80), who arrived the next year (1548) and was appointedking’s reader in Hebrew at Cambridge. If Bucer was recommending scholars to Cranmer, then it is easyto surmise that Bucer also recommended the Italian Vermigli, for whom he had even greater esteem.

18Translated in OTD.19VWG, 23.20MacCulloch, Cranmer, 435–36, points out that Cranmer’s crucial sermon on rebellion at St.

Paul’s Cathedral in London on 21 July 1549 was, in fact, the result of a collaboration with Vermigli.More specifically, MacCulloch maintains that Vermigli was involved to a greater extent in churchaffairs than Bucer. See Diarmaid MacCulloch, “Peter Martyr and Thomas Cranmer,” HRR, 178, 192.This echoes the earlier view of C. H. Smyth, who judged that “of all the foreigners [in England],Ochino had probably the least influence: and Peter Martyr probably the most”; Smyth, Cranmer andthe Reformation, 117. Two years after Vermigli’s arrival in Oxford and after the 1548 Augsburg interimmade life impossible for Bucer, he too accepted Cranmer’s invitation to that city.

Prologue � Peter Martyr Vermigli in England xix

Vermigli was one of the most important, if unheralded, theological influencesupon Cranmer and, through Cranmer, on the Edwardian Reformation.

When Vermigli left England for good in October 1553, he carried with himnot only affection and deep concern for Cranmer and the English church, but aninternational reputation as a Reformed theologian. When he arrived in Stras-bourg to revive his role as a leading Reformed theologian on yet another stage, hedeplored in his inaugural address the loss of King Edward and the England thatmight have been.

A harsh and lamentable death took away Edward, king of England, thebright light among the monarchs of the Christian world, the rightfulstudent of godliness and a stout defender of Christ’s Gospel. Light waschanged into darkness, ungodliness replaced godliness, and cruel wolvesinvaded the new and recent church. Good men were wickedly oppressed;I cannot think about, still less recount, how the providence of the oneGod delivered me from their dangers and troubles.24

Monarchs die and other monarchs, hell-bent on burning heretics, ascend tothrones, but for Vermigli the truth was unassailable. In tribute to the boy-kingand his archbishop, Vermigli published his Romans lectures. His dedicatory epis-tle to Sir Anthony Cooke,25 Edward’s tutor and a Marian exile, is in effect a dedi-cation to the English church. In this dedication is a highly developed sense ofbelonging to a circle of like-minded continental theologians. Vermigli specificallynames Melanchthon, Bucer, Bullinger, and Calvin, and indicates that he has notonly read their commentaries on Romans, but has been “greatly helped” bythem.26 This underscores the growing theological affinity, particularly with SwissProtestantism, reflected in his own commentary on Romans.

Of the many contributions to the Reformation in England, perhaps themost cherished and natural for Martyr were his lectures at Oxford. After com-pleting his first series of lectures on 1 Corinthians in 1549, Martyr turned toPaul’s epistle to the Romans in 1550, as he earlier had promised.27 Martyr’sRomans lectures began in March 1550, were completed in Zurich, and finallypublished in 1558.28

uate College,” in Collegiate University, ed. McConica, 41; John ab Ulmis’s letter of 1 March 1552 says heattended Martyr’s Romans lectures at 9:00 a.m. According to S. L.
