Transcription

Thomas Tenison was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1694 to his death in 1715. A staunch anti-Catholic, he devoted much time to promoting the Church of England and establishing it as the sole religious institution in England (William Marshall, Tenison, Thomas (16361715), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/27130, accessed 25 May 2011]).
