MARSHALL (WILLIAM), publisher in London, was strongly interested in the Reformation and caused several books to be printed for him to further the movement. Among them are the Gift of Constantine printed by Godfray { GODFRAY, Thomas ‹ LBT 28403 › }, Erasmus on the Creed by Redman { REDMAN, Robert ( - 1540) ‹ LBT 29164 › }, De vetere et novo Deo by Byddell { BYDDELL, John ‹ LBT 28368 › } and the Defence of Peace by Wyer { WYER, Robert ‹ LBT 02899 › }. His zeal seems often to have outrun his discretion and funds were not always available to pay for what he had commissioned. Some interesting letters concerning his books written to Cromwell will be found in the Letters and Papers of Henry VIII. [Vol. vii, pp. 178, etc.] He was also the author of several treatises and translations, two of which, Pictures and Ymages and The chrysten Bysshop and counterfayte Bysshop were apparently printed by John Gowghe { GOUGH, John ‹ LBT 07541 › }, though Herbert states that the colophon of the latter runs "Emprynted by Wyllyam Marshall." The reformed Prymer of 1535 was also printed for him. He used a large woodcut of his coat-of-arms as a device. [D.N.B.)
