Witty, learned diatribe by the Shakespeare of polemicists, best appreciated a paragraph or so at a sitting. The Oxford National Biography lays out Heylyn's professional life which reveals a prodigiously learned and astute theologian (perhaps even bored) who's reputation from early school days was one addicted to salacious public oneupmanship and sparking conflict, often shrouded behind eccliastical minutae. So formidable at these battles of chapter and verse, that he
willingly allowed himself to serve as "hired gun" for various royal powerbrokers, who happily let loose this brilliant "junkyard dog" who would handily and savagely lay waste to threatening opponents, through shaming, reputational destruction, etc. Very Good.
