  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

Let it not be for present delight nor pres­ ent use alone. Let it be such work as our de­ scendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay on stone, that a time will come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon our labor, ‘See!

  • THE TREASURY of DAVID Vol. 2 Psalms 26-50 by C
    THE TREASURY OF DAVID Vol. 2 Psalms 26-50 by C. H. Spurgeon Psalm 26 Psalms 26:1 Title. A Psalm of David. The sweet singer of Israel appears before us in this Psalm as one enduring reproach; in this he was the type of the great Son of David, and is an encouraging example to us to carry the burden of slander to the throne of grace. It is an ingenious surmise that this appeal to heaven was written by David at the time of the assassination of Ishbosheth, by Baanah and Rechab, to protest his innocence of all participation in that treacherous murder; the tenor of the Psalm certainly agrees with the supposed occasion, but it is not possible with such a slender clue to go beyond conjecture. Division. Unity of subject is so distinctly maintained, that there are no sharp divisions. David Dickson has given an admirable summary in these words: ²"He appeals to God", the supreme Judge, in the testimony of a good conscience, bearing him witness; first, of his endeavour to walk uprightly as a believer, Ps 26:1-3; secondly, of his keeping himself from the contagion of the evil counsel, sinful causes, and examples of the wicked, Ps 26:4-5; thirdly, of his purpose still to behave himself holily and righteously, out of love to be partaker of the public privileges of the Lord's people in the congregation, Ps 26:6-8 Whereupon he prayeth to be free of the judgment coming upon the wicked, Ps 26:9-10 according as he had purposed to eschew their sins, Ps 26:11 and he closes the prayer with comfort and assurance of being heard, Ps 26:12.

DENNETT, PRINTER, UNION BUILDINGS, LEATHER LANE. iii PREFACE. The subject of the present work, after a protracted consideration of some years, was entered upon by the author with the greatest diffidence, from a consciousness of the uncertainty as to how far it might be possible, by personal application, to obtain the intelligence absolutely necessary to make it acceptable. He was sensible that nothing short of a disposition all but universal in his favour could enable him to give it such a stamp of originality and novelty as might warrant the expectation of ultimate success. The difficulties here intimated, however, have been surmounted even to an extent exceeding his most sanguine anticipation; and in return the author can claim for himself, with the greatest confidence, the merit of not having abused so unexpected and liberal a patronage.

  • Hutchinsonianism: a Counter-Enlightenment Reform Movement
    168The Journal of Religiousjournal History of religious history Vol. 23, No. 2, June 1999 C. D. A. LEIGHTON Hutchinsonianism: A Counter-Enlightenment Reform Movement The followers of the natural philosopher John Hutchinson developed a religious movement which produced one of the most notable schools of eighteenth-century Anglican thought. This paper describes Hutchinsonianism’s position, firstly, in rela- tion to other religious movements of the period. It sites it within a temporally specific spectrum of ecclesiastical positions and also offers a more general description of its character. To be more specific, there is discussion of the nature of the phenomenon of High Churchmanship and evangelicalism in this period and a justification of the use of the term “reform movement.” In the latter part of the paper, Hutchinsonianism is placed within the general intellectual currents of its age. In the course of this dis- cussion attention is drawn to previously underemphasized areas of Hutchinsonian interest, notably the history of religion. However, more importantly, this part of the paper uses Hutchinsonianism to discuss and clarify the use of the terms “Enlighten- ment” and “Counter-Enlightenment” in the study of English intellectual history. The dismissal by the future bishop of Worcester, Richard Hurd, of the defence of Hutchinsonianism by the future bishop of Norwich, George Horne, as refut- able by any Cambridge undergraduate, discloses more about the party feeling which Hutchinsonianism engendered than about the contemporary credibility of the system1: the quantity of ink spilled in combating the Hutchinsonians reveals the difficulty of the task. The contempt of later periods, however, was genuine.

My fh·st intention in making genealogical researches was to obtain authentic records for private use; being encouraged by finding entries of considerable importance, I felt that it might not be unadvisable to continue the work until sufficient material had been gathered for a smail publication. It was not my design· to .make an exhaustive genealogical history of all the branches of the several families embraced within the work, but only to have the record extend to such members as have not received at the hands of previous writers due consideration. In collecting such data I did not hesitate to avail myself of the advantages of records wherever they were to be found. lIJ tmc-­ ing the Clarke genealogy I followed the family traditkin of1 my immediate ancestors, and so was quickly enabled to malt~ a b~~1rA ning that gave promise of much success.

The treasured goal is greater knowledge and appreciation for Elizabeth Seton's devotion to the Bible. The clues we will discover along our way are for the most part to be found in her writing, typical of all eighteenth and nineteenth century women, that is, journals and letters. In them we find five kinds of references to the Bible: first, her use of biblical language to express her own thoughts; second, her explicit references to the Bible itself or to a particular book, story, biblical person or commentary; third, the instructional materials and methods she used in the school at Emmitsburg; fourth, the markings she made in her Bibles; and fifth, her handwritten copies of biblical commentaries. Along with the clues found in Elizabeth's own writing we will also address documents written by other profoundly influential people in her life.
