He then accompanied Edward Fox, bishop of Hereford, on his mission to promote a theological and political understanding with the Lutheran princes of Germany.
His selection for this duty implies a readiness on Heath's part to proceed some distance along the path of reform; but his dealings with the Lutherans did not confirm this tendency, and Heath's subsequent career was closely associated with the cause of reaction.
In 1539, the year of the Six Articles, he was made bishop of Rochester, and in 1543 he succeeded Latimer at Worcester.

 Volume 2 Book 2
The bishop of Bangor preached; the nun and her accomplices, who were exposed on a platform in front of him, confessed their crimes before the people, and were then led back to the Tower.
Henry allowed the bishops to remain, but he employed the functionaries of police and justice to overlook their episcopate, and that office was imposed upon them in such terms that they must necessarily look sharp after the transgressors.
Gardiner, now bishop of Winchester, gave a force to the episcopal body of which it had long been deprived, and several prelates, "incensed and inflamed in their minds," says Foxe, called to remembrance that the best means of drying up the waters of a river is to cut off its springs.

 The Life of Thomas Cranmer (1489-1556)
He officiated at the coronation of the boy king Edward VI, and is supposed to have instituted a sinister change in the order of the ceremony, by which the right of the monarch to reign was made to appear to depend upon inheritance alone, without the concurrent consent of the people.
But Edward's title had been expressly sanctioned by act of parliament, so that there was no more room for election in his case than in that of George I, and the real motive of the changes was to shorten the weary ceremony for the frail child.
Cranmer stood by the dying bed of Edward as he had stood by that of his father, and he there suffered himself to be persuaded to take a step against his own convictions.

 WILLIAM TYNDALE Covenant Theologian, Christian Martyr Part 1: Background and Early Biography

The current bishop resided in Rome, which meant that the diocesan duties of Gloucester and Worcester were divided between Cardinal Wolsey (also, obviously, absent) and one Dr. Parker.
These events caused much grumbling at the alehouse, reports Foxe, “for that was their preaching place.” Soon enough, they accused Tyndale to the new chancellor of the diocese, Dr. Parker.

Edward Fox surveyed the townsite in rectangular eight-acre blocks and James Mellet erected the first house as the pioneers dismantled and carted their earlier structures to the new site in late 1862.

He then accompanied Edward Fox, bishop of Hereford, on his imssion to promote a theological and political understanding with the Lutheran princes of Germany.
Like others of Henry's bishops, he had bbeen convinced by the events of Edward VI's reign that Sir Thomas More was right and Henry VIII was wrong in their attitude towards the claims of the papacy and the Catholic Church.
