You may be interested in the books of Peter Milward: Religious
Controversies of the Elizabethan Age, a Survey of Printed Sources (London:
Scolar Press, 1977) and Religious Controversies of the Jacobean Age, a
Survey of Printed Sources (London: Scolar Press, 1978).
Some aspects of Margaret Spufford's *Contrasting Communities* and
*Small Books and Pleasant Histories* would give you sources on popular
piety.
Though I don't have the author's name in mind, I'm positive that
there has been a book on the Family of Love in East Anglia, published by
CUP in 1993, which others may tell you about. For 'radical' popular
religion, it might be interesting. For the later c17, on another radical
movement, have a look at Christopher Hill and William Lamont, *The World of
the Muggletonians*; there may be a third author or editor, but I don't have
my records with me.

Hope this helps (and don't sneer at the French cup challenger when
you see them lose again from your window, please: their training base is in
Sete, a 30mn drive from Montpellier).
