The Third Book teacheth the manner how Christ is present in his Supper. Now this matter of transubstantiation being, as I trust, CHAP, sufficiently resolved, which is the first part before rehearsed, Iwherein the papistical doctrine varieth from the catholicTlie Pie ii-i n -i sence of truth, order requireth next to intreat of the second part, Christinthe which is of the manner of the presence of the body andsacramentblood of our Saviour Christ in the sacrament thereof, wherein is no less contention than in the first part. For a plain explication whereof, it is not unknown to all true faithful Christian people, that our Saviour Christ, being perfect God, and in all things equal and coeternal with his Father, for our sakes became also a perfect man, taking flesh and blood of his blessed mother and Virgin Mary, and, saving sin, being in all things like unto us, adjoining unto his divinity a most perfect soul and a most perfect body; his soul being endued with life, sense, will, reason, wisdom, memory, and all other things required to the perfect soul of man; and his body being made of very flesh and bones, not only having all members of a perfect man's body in due order and proportion, but also being subject to hunger, thirst, labour, sweat, weariness, cold, heat, and all other like infirmities and passions of man, and unto death also, and that the most vile and painful upon the cross. And after his death he rose again with the selfsame visible and palpable body, and appeared therewith, and showed the same unto his Apostles, and specially to Thomas, making him to put his hands into his side and to feel his wounds.

Thomas Cranmer was born in Aslacton, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, on July 2, 1489, the son of a village squire. His parents, Thomas and Agnes (née Hatfield) Cranmer, were of modest wealth and were not members of the aristocracy.
Thomas went to Cambridge University at the age of 14; though of indifferent scholarship, he received a bachelor's degree in 1511 and a master's degree in 1514. He also received a fellowship at Jesus College and seemed well on the way to an ecclesiastical career when, at 25, he abandoned his fellowship and married. Shortly he received his Master of Arts degree in 1515.
Thomas was ordained a priest by 1520 and become a university preacher. A chance meeting in August 1529 with two members of King Henry VIII's administration led to Cranmer's employment in the royal service; he worked toward obtaining the annulment of Henry's marriage with Catherine of Aragon.
In January 1532 Thomas was sent as ambassador to the court of Emperor Charles V at Ratisbon and at Nuremberg. Within a year of his appointment as ambassador, Cranmer was recalled and nominated for the office of archbishop of Canterbury. He knew that this appointment was given him in return for his future annulment of the King's marriage. The bulls of his appointment to the See of Canterbury were obtained, under compulsion and with great speed, from Pope Clement VII by March 1533, and Cranmer was consecrated archbishop on March 30.
Thomas concluded the trial of Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon by declaring the marriage to have been invalid. On May 28 Cranmer publicly adjudged Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn in the previous January to have been lawful; and on June 1, Whitsunday, he anointed and crowned her as queen of England in Westminster Abbey. For the rest of his life, Cranmer was a major instrument in establishing royal supremacy in spiritual matters as in temporal affairs and thus destroying the independence of the English Church.
In 1536 Thomas presided over a commission of bishops and divines which met at Lambeth Palace, his London home. This commission published the Ten Articles, a statement of the beliefs of the Henrician Church, which it was hoped could be accepted by Lutherans as well as Catholics.
When Anne Boleyn was condemned to death for treason by reason of her adultery, her execution was postponed for 2 days, however, in order that Cranmer might declare her marriage to Henry invalid and thus bastardize their daughter, Elizabeth. On the day Anne died, Cranmer granted Henry a dispensation to marry Jane Seymour despite their consanguinity.
In 1539 Cranmer opposed the Act of the Six Articles; he believed the act was too Catholic despite the fact that Henry VIII himself had drawn up the final text. He helped, however, to put together the religious work known as the King's Book, although much of its content was contrary to his beliefs. He approved the use of this book in his diocese. Nevertheless, Henry, apparently well aware of all this, protected him. Cranmer published the English Litany in 1544 and the First Book of Common Prayer in 1549 during the reign of King Edward VI.
A more Protestant version of the latter work, the Second Book of Common Prayer, was issued by Cranmer in 1552, and it proved to be the foundation of, and the most lasting formative influence in, the Church of England.
On 13 November 1553 Cranmer and four others were brought to trial for treason, found guilty, and condemned to death. Several enemies testified that Cranmer had encouraged heresy and had written heretical works. On 4 December, Rome decided Cranmer's fate by depriving him of the archbishopric and giving permission to the secular authorities to carry out their sentence. He was killed on 21 March 1556.
Serving as Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer helped to build the case for the annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which was one of the causes of the separation of the English Church from Vatican. He was responsible for establishing the first doctrinal and liturgical structures of the reformed Church of England. Besides, he succeeded in publishing the first officially authorised vernacular service, the Exhortation and Litany, wrote and compiled the first two editions of the Book of Common Prayer, a complete liturgy for the English Church.

Sometime after Cranmer took his MA, he married a woman named "Black Joan", a relative of the landlady of the Dolphin Inn. Joan died during her first childbirth. Later, Margaret Osiander won the heart of Cranmer, and in 1532 they were married. His daughter, Margaret, was likely born in the 1530s and his son, Thomas, came later, probably during the reign of Edward.
