| These lines have always been read in the light of the play's depiction of the proud reunion of the country after the divisions created by the pope's mischievous interdict of the English king--supposedly a parallel to the country's antipapal solidarity in the face of the similar interdict of Elizabeth (1533-1603). In articulating the problem of "why Foxe should have chosen to expand, reconstruct, and modify the polemical thrust of Tyndale's story in his 1570 edition," Patrick Collinson notes that the accentuation of Tyndale's anti-Catholic inspiration is "typical of Foxe's intensified antipapal animus in the year of the publication of the bull of excommunication of Queen Elizabeth" (73).
