  John Whitgift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Macaulay's description of Whitgift as "a narrow, mean, tyrannical priest, who gained power by servility and adulation," is tinged with rhetorical exaggeration; but undoubtedly Whitgift's extreme High Church notions led him to treat the Puritans intolerantly.
On March 24, 1577, Whitgift was appointed Bishop of Worcester, and during the absence of Sir Henry Sidney in Ireland (1577) he acted as vice-president of Wales.
Through Whitgift's vigilance the printers of the tracts were discovered and punished; and in order to prevent the publication of such opinions he got a law passed in 1593 making Puritanism an offence against the statute law.

 Welcome to John Baker
Marlovians cite evidence proving Marlowe was a similarly gifted genius, one period writer calling him "the realm's highest mind." One who was forced, by the repressive conditions of the time and the magnitude and diversity of his interests, to hide his light under various names.
Marlowe's final brush with the English Inquisition came in the spring of 1593, when agents of the Archbishop of Canterbury, John Whitgift, erroneously concluded Marlowe was the author of heretical notes involving the so called "Arrian" Heresy.
Once the quarry was in custody, as poor Marlowe was on the 20th of May 1593, their fate was sealed.
