A Spiritual Consolation
+
A Treatise of Prayer
John Fisher, 1459-1535, writes to his sister as he lived in the Tower of London, a famously barbaric torture prison. Afterwards, the king took his life for not supporting his divorce plan and recognizing his superiority.

Two of Fishers books are available, A Spiritual Consolation, [ca. 1578] and A Treatise of Prayer, 1640. Both are page photos. The first uses a font style common in 1578.
