Hall's initial work of religious controversy was against Protestant separatists. In 1608 he had written a letter of remonstrance to John Robinson and John Smyth. Robinson, who had been a beneficed clergyman near Yarmouth, had replied in An Answer to a Censorious Epistle; and Hall published (1610) A Common Apology against the Brownists, a lengthy treatise answering Robinson paragraph by paragraph. It set a style, tight but rich using animadversion, for Hall's theological writings. Hall criticised Robinson, the future pastor of the Mayflower congregation, alongside Richard Bernard and John Murton. [24] [25] As the Principal of the college named after this humble and courageous follower of Christ, it is a great privilege to reflect briefly on Ridley's life. His story is compelling, but my real aim here is to show that in his life we see something of a signpost pointing to Jesus and encouraging us to love and follow him more closely. a Tudor royal arms on the organ loft, and a 17th-century pulpit, now in the crypt of the Lady Chapel.

In Hall's Via media, The Way of Peace (1619), he did his best to persuade the two parties (Calvinist and Arminian) to accept a compromise. His later defence of the English Church, and episcopacy as Biblical, entitled Episcopacy by Divine Right (1640), was twice revised at Laud's dictation. In 1538, Ridley was given the living of Herne in Kent. During his ministry there, he came into possession of Bertram's Treatise on the Lord's Supper. Ridley had always believed in the literal presence of the body and blood of Christ in the eucharistic elements, understanding that this was the teaching of the Church Fathers. But Bertram's work suggested otherwise, and drove Ridley to study Scripture and the Fathers afresh. His diligent studies led him to believe that the Roman doctrine of the Mass was not scriptural, but blasphemous and dangerous, and when in 1547 he was appointed Bishop of Rochester, he began to implement reforms in doctrine and worship with great diligence and energy. Entrance hall which has stairs ascending to the first floor, a window looking out to the front and doors off toBishop Nicholas Ridley has been an example and an encouragement to Christians down the centuries, and he is an example to us today in our own walk of faith. May God grant that we might be inspired by his faithful witness to Jesus Christ, and, being inspired, let us ask God to fill our hearts afresh with his Spirit of love, joy and peace, and to give us the grace to share that love with those we meet each day. In doing so, may our lives, like Ridley's life, point to our great advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. Amen. College Archives

The men spent nine months there, and for the last few weeks of these they shared a room. This was a gift of God in the midst of sharing in Christ's sufferings. They had encouraging fellowship and were able to go over the ground on which they would have to take their stand. They pored over the New Testament together, to see if they had missed the way in its teaching on the Lord's Supper. But in the words of a commentator, "They found that the sacrifice of Christ upon the cross was perfect, holy and good, and that God did require none other, nor that it should ever be done again."
