Prayer Book Rising
/ Rebellyans an Lyver Pysadow Kemmyn / / /

The Reformation of the English church was a major event that shaped the future of the Cornish language. When Edward VI sent commissioners to enforce use of the Book of Common Prayer in Cornwall they were met with resistance and riots. The Cornish sent a letter to the King, declaring that "We, the Cornyshe men, whereof certain of us understande no Englyshe, utterly refuse thys newe Service." They were dissatisfied with the response they received and so in 1549 a rising of 6,000 people marched on Exeter. A number of battles ensued at various places across Devon, in which an estimated 5,000 Cornish were killed. This was a devastating blow to the Cornish language, given the consequent depletion of the population of Cornwall. Before the Prayer Book Rebellion, it is thought that Cornwall had been largely Cornish speaking up as far as Bodmin, with a few bilingual pockets further east. Less than half a century later, at the start of the seventeenth century, writers such as Richard Carew and John Norden attested that Cornish was spoken only west of Truro, and that even those speakers knew English as well as their native Cornish by then. From this period the most noted extant texts we have are the Tregear Homilies, a series of 12 sermons translated from English to Cornish by a cleric named John Tregear followed by a patristic catena in Cornish and Latin. This '13th homily' (now known as 'Sacrament an Alter') was based upon texts from Foxe's Book of Martyrs and was probably put together by another cleric. Both texts are interesting as they are extensive examples of traditional Cornish prose, as opposed to the verse of the religious plays, although the theme is of course still religious. They were composed circa 1555 (in the case of the first 12 Homilies) and after 1576 (in the case of the 13th).
