 THE SPIDER, THE FLY, AND THE COMMONWEALTH: MERRIE JOHN HEYWOOD AND AGRARIAN CLASS STRUGGLE
Heywood's poem offers the most sympathetic ruling-class literary treatment of Kett's Rebellion and a bold epistle to Mary in the third year of her reign, counseling her to bank the fires of Smithfield and return to the spirit of Somerset's anti-enclosure commission of 1548.

Thus the Spider distances the current rebellion from Kett's Rebellion and from the Prayer Book Rebellion, emphasizing the class division between spiders and flies rather than the religious division between Protestants and Catholics.
