(Excerpt from A Brief Discourse of the Troubles Begun at F...)
Excerpt from A Brief Discourse of the Troubles Begun at Frankfort in the Year 1554: About the Book of Common Prayer and Ceremonies The author, in the preface, refers to a sermon preached at St. Paul's Cross, in November, 1573, by D. Yonge, and after wards to another sermon at the same place, in October, 1573, by M. Mullins. The former of these was probably Dr. John Young, Bishop of Rochester; the latter, whose name appears in the present work, was an exile during the reign of Mary, and officiated as Greek Reader at Frankfort. At a subsequent period, we find him mentioned as Archdeacon of London, Canon Residentiary of St. Paul's, and Rector of Booking. (strype's Whitgift, i. 245, sub anno These sermons appear never to have been printed; or, if they were, have become lost; which is to be regretted, because they might, and especially the latter, have given some facts or allusions to enable us to identify the author of the Brief Discourse. From the statement in the Preface, it is evident, that for some especial'purpose a detail of the unhappy disturbances which had occurred at Frankfort, was given by M. Mullins in this sermon. That it was not entirely favourable to the party of the author of the Brief Discourse is certain, because he says, So I in this discours, thought it needefull, least hap pelie that honorable audiéce might mistake the matter, to set fourthe by writinge the verie order, maner, and proceadinge off the same.

He belonged to a Lancashire family and was born around 1524 at Chester.
Educated at Brasenosc College, Oxford, he became a fellow of All Souls' College and a senior student of Christ Church, and later he visited several universities in France and Germany.
In 1554 he was a leading member of the band of English Protestant exiles who were assembled at Frankfort-on-the-Main, and in the controversies which took place between them concerning the form of service to be adopted, Whittingham strongly supported the Calvinistic views propounded by John Knox.
These opinions, however, did not prevail, and soon the Scottish reformer and his follower were found at Geneva; in 1559 Whittingham succeeded Knox as minister of the English congregation in that city, and here he did his most noteworthy work, that of making an English translation of the Bible.
Having returned to England in 1560, Whittingham went to France in the train of Francis Russell, 2nd earl of Bedford, and a little lat. er he acted as minister of the English garrison at Havre, being in this place during its siege by the French in 1562. In the following year he was made dean of Durham.
He attended well to the duties of his office, but his liking for puritan customs madecertain prelates and others look upon him with suspicion, and in 1576 or 1577 a commission was appointed to inquire into his conduct.
This had no result, and another commission was appointed in 1578, one charge against Whittingham being that he had not been duly ordained. The case was still under consideration when the dean died on the 10th of June 1579.
A well-connected friend of English reformers and publisher of the Geneva Bible, he became an English Dean, preacher before Queen Elizabeth, and a Protestant, Reformed and Anglican reformer.
He was probably responsible for the English translation of the New Testament which appeared in 1557, and he had certainly a large share in the translation of both the Old and the New Testaments which is called the Genevan or Breeches Bible. This was printed at Geneva in 1560 and enjoyed a remarkable popularity (see Bible, English). He also made a metrical translation of some of the Psalms.

(EARLY HISTORY OF RELIGION. Imagine holding history in you...)
A strong Protestant, he returned to England in 1553, but soon found it expedient to travel again to France.
Whittingham's wife Catherine, daughter of Louis Jaqueman, was probably born not before 1535 and married to Whittingham on 15 November 1556. Her eldest son, Zachary, was baptised on 17 August 1557, and her eldest daughter, Susanna, on 11 December 1558; both died young. Whittingham was survived by two sons, Sir Timothy and Daniel, and four daughters.
