John Frith

John Frith , 1503-33, English Protestant martyr. He aided William Tyndale in translating the New Testament. After a short time in prison because of suspected heresy, Frith went to Germany in 1528 and was in Marburg, where he again assisted Tyndale. Upon his return to England in 1532, Frith was arrested and imprisoned. Firm in his denial of transubstantiation, purgatory, and infallibility of papal authority, he was burned at Smithfield as a heretic. His works were edited (1573) by John Foxe.

Frith, John (c.1503–33), Protestant martyr. A junior canon of ‘Cardinal College’ (Christ Church), Oxford, he was imprisoned for heresy in 1528 but escaped to the Continent, where he assisted W. Tyndale. On his return in 1532 he was arrested and condemned to death for denying that purgatory and transubstantiation were necessary dogmas.
