Summary "An Almond for a Parrot: Being a Reply to Martin Mar-Prelate" by Thomas Nash et al. is a satirical tract written in the late 16th century. This work is a pointed rebuttal to Martin Mar-Prelate, a pseudonymous Puritan writer known for his critique of the Anglican Church. The text draws on humor and biting wit to address issues of religious reform and contemporary ecclesiastical politics. At the start of the tract, the author introduces the character of Martin, mocking him for a supposed resurrection of his influence among the Puritans. The narrator, Cutbert Curry-knaue, positions himself as a combative observer of Martin’s antics, describing the chaos stirred in England as Martin’s pamphlets provoke conflict among religious factions. Nash satirizes the Puritans' desire for reformation while exposing their hypocrisy and the absurdity of their arguments, setting the tone for a vigorous defense of established religious authority in England.
