This chapter identifies a Latin manuscript treatise (Corpus Christi College, Oxford, MS 321, ff. 22–24) entitled Epistola quaedam ad reverendum praesulem conscripta adversus Baroistas (‘A letter to a reverend prelate written against the Barrowists’) as a late work of the Oxford philosopher and physician John Case (1540?–1600). Dating it to shortly before 1596, it places it within the context of anti-nonconformist writings in English against the threat to religion and the state posed by such figures as William Hacket, Francis Kett, and above all Henry Barrow, whose followers were known as ‘Barrowists’. It then turns to use this newly identified work to reassess the debated question of John Case’s religious allegiance, arguing that he expresses tacit sympathy for aspects of Roman Catholic religion and, above all, demonstrates significant hostility towards the progress of the Protestant Reformation.
