Although known for his political savvy in negotiating the dangerous waters of the reformist movement, in 1547 he attacked the doctrine of transubstantiation in sermons delivered at St Mary Aldermary and at the Mercer's chapel, St Thomas Acon, preaching that the mass was a commemoration of Christs' death. He was accused of heresy like Askew, seemed to submit but was urged not to by fellow reformers like Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Shaxton. He appeared at Paul's Cross on 27 June to deliver an ambiguous apology. Askew, who had attended his sermons, was burned on 16 July.
