there on 25 November 1624. King James, to whom he was well known, said, somewhat unfeelingly, that he died for want of a bishopric. Works His Inauguration Sermon was published in 1608. In 1616 he published a treatise in defence of the Emperor Justinian the emperor, against Cardinal Baronius. Other works were: Introductio in Metaphysicam, Oxford, 1619; Defence of Constantine, with a Treatise of the Pope's Temporal Monarchy, London 1621; Logicae libri quinque de Predicabilibus, Praedicamentis, London. 1622; Tractatus de Providentiâ Dei, Cambridge, 1622. The Defensio Ecclesiae Anglicanae, Crakanthorpe's best-known controversial work, was not published till after his death, when it was given to the world (1625) by his friend John Barkham, who also preached his funeral sermon. Marcantonio de Dominis, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Spalatro, came to England as a convert to the Church of England, having published his reasons in a book called Consilium Profectionis (Heidelberg and London 1616). After about six years' residence in England he returned to Rome, and published a retractation (Consilium Reditus). A perfect storm of vituperation broke out against him. Crakanthorpe answered in his Defensio Ecclesiae, taking the retractation sentence by sentence, and pouring out a stream of invective. The first edition was full of errors; it was edited at Oxford in 1847. Several other works written by him of anti-Catholic controversy were published after his death.
