"It is a world to see," he wrote of 1552, "how ready the Catholicks are to cast the communion tables out of their churches, which in derision they call Oysterboards, and to set up altars whereon to say mass."
Cardan, living in daily intercourse with Cheke, might reasonably have taken up the point of view of his kind and genial friend; but no, he evidently rated Northumberland, from beginning to end, as a knave and a traitor, and a murderer at least in will.
