.
After acting for some years as a " See also:mass-See also:priest," his views were unsettled by the arguments of See also:Bilney and See also:Arthur; and episcopal persecution compelled him, according to his own See also:account, to assume the name See also:Lambert instead of See also:Nicholson
.
He likewise removed to See also:Antwerp, where he became See also:chaplain to the English factory, and formed a friendship with See also:Frith and See also:Tyndale
.
Returning to See also:England in 1531, he came under the See also:notice of See also:Archbishop See also:Warham, who questioned him closely on his religious beliefs
.
Warham's See also:death in See also:August 1532 relieved Lambert from immediate danger, and he earned a living for some years by teaching Latin and See also:Greek near the See also:Stocks See also:Market in See also:London
.
The See also:duke of See also:Norfolk and other reactionaries accused him of See also:heresy in 1536, but reforming tendencies were still in the ascendant, and Lambert escaped
.
In 1538, however, the reaction had begun, and Lambert was its first victim
.
He singled himself out for persecution by denying the Real Presence: and See also:- HENRY

For five See also:hours Lambert disputed with the king and ten bishops; and then, as he boldly denied that the See also:Eucharist was the See also:body of See also:Christ, he was condemned to death by See also:Cromwell as vicegerent
.
Henry's condescension and See also:patience produced a See also:great impression on his See also:Catholic subjects; but Cromwell is said by See also:Foxe to have asked Lambert's See also:pardon before his See also:execution, and Cranmer eventually adopted the views he condemned in
Lambert
