October 1959 No quotation from it should be published without his prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged. 2 I.JUL. 1930 i FOREWORD The reign of Queen Elizabeth I saw the "beginnings of some of the main divisions of English Christianity. The differences "between papist and reformer were already there "before Elizabeth's accession, but it was while she was on the throne that Puritan first came to be distinguished from Anglican and, within the Puritan party, Independent from Presbyterian. Controversy between these parties circled around the doctrine of the Church and the Ministry. The arguments of a representative selection of Anglican and Puritan divines of this period on this subject are compared in these pages, and a doctrine is suggested which, although it would not have fully satisfied any of them, might have given some satisfaction to all of them. Had this doctrine been accepted, schism might well have been avoided. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his gratitude to the University Library, Cambridge, for supplying a microfilm copy of Bredwell's "Rasing of the Foundations of Brownisme", and for permission to quote from that work; and to Dr Williams's Library, London, for permission to consult and to quote from the manuscript of "The Second Parte of A Register."

HARDING z Part I Jewel v. Harding I On 17th November 1558 Queen Elizabeth I acceded to the throne of England, inheriting from her half-sister a kingdom at war and almost bankrupt together with a Church divided in doctrine and distracted by persecution. We are not concerned here with the means by which the kingdom was restored to peace and solvency, but only with the methods employed (not altogether successfully) to bring the Church to unity and tranquillity. Some change in the religion of England was widely expected of Elizabeth. When Queen Mary died the joy of those who had fled to the continent to escape her terror was matched by the speed with which most of them packed their belongings and returned home, surely a rash proceeding unless it were common knowledge that the new Queen would support them rather than the dominant papist party. Much the same expectation of change, and even desire for it, was also probably to be found among many of the common people of England. The increasing severity of Mary's persecution betrays a growing sense of failure to capture public opinion for her faith, no matter how much outward conformity there might be.

    Richard Deurden Inventing Politics How the Earliest Puritans Created Grassroots Activism House of Learning 412 (Season 4, Episode 12) OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT Produced by the Harold B. Lee Library At Brigham Young University Thursday, April 6, 2005 INVENTING POLITICS Thank you Brian very much. And thanks to you who have come. My students know that on occasion and most of them within the last week or so are asked to take their work, share it with each other, argue about it and see what works. Well, today is my test shot and I’m here to see if these ideas hold up by submitting them to your judgment. Well, let’s start with identifying with scenario. When the tyranny and depression became unbearable a small group of devoted reformers gathered to ask what was to be done. And they chose one or two resolved and courageous young men to write a manifesto. A declaration of the ills they had suffered and the reforms that were needed. That manifesto shook the powers of England and convinced an anxious monarch and the monarch’s counsel that these zealots intended to erect a system of governing by the people. Who fits this description of whom am I speaking? Marx and Engles. Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. Maybe? But we can go earlier and Thomas Paine, John Lilburn. Before any of these, and in a direct way their practical ancestor was the radical reformer and Elizabethan puritan John Field. This dedicated and tireless but almost unknown reformer wrote the first book to issue from a secret press in England.

  • The Elizabethan Protestant Press: a Study of the Printing and Publishing of Protestant Literature in English
    THE ELIZABETHAN PROTESTANT PRESS: A STUDY OF THE PRINTING AND PUBLISHING OF PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS LITERATURE IN ENGLISH, EXCLUDING BIBLES AND LITURGIES, 1558-1603. By WILLIAN CALDERWOOD, M.A., B.D. Submitted for the Ph.D. degree, University College. (c\ (LONBI 2 ABSTRACT Uninterrupted for forty-five years, from 1558 to 1603, Protestants in England were able to use the printing press to disseminate Protestant ideology. It was a period long enough for Protestantism to root itself deeply in the life of the nation and to accumulate its own distinctive literature. English Protestantism, like an inf ant vulnerable to the whim of a parent under King Henry VIII, like a headstrong and erratic child in Edward's reign, and like a sulking, chastised youth in the Marian years, had come of age by the end of the Elizabethan period. At the outset of Elizabeth's reign the most pressing religious need was a clear, well-reasoned defence of the Church of England. The publication of Bishop Jewel's Apologia Ecclesiae Anglicanae in 1562 was a response to that need and set the tone of literary polemics for the rest of the period. It was a time of muscle- flexing for the Elizabethan Church, and especially in the opening decades, a time when anti-Catholicism was particularly vehement. Consistently throughout the period, when Queen and country were threatened by Catholic intrigues and conspiracies, literature of exceptional virulence was published against Catholicism. But just as the press became an effective tool for defenders and apologists of the Church of England, it soon was being used as an instrument to advance the cause of further reform by more radical Protestants.

    THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 By [Copyright 2016] Benjamin Michael Guyer Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark ________________________________ Luis Corteguera ________________________________ Katherine Clark ________________________________ Steven Epstein ________________________________ Geraldo Sousa Date Defended: March 07, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Benjamin Michael Guyer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark Date approved: March 07, 2016 ii Abstract The Semantics of Reformation: Discourses of Religious Change in England, c. 1414 – 1688 examines how the events of the sixteenth century were conceptualized as the English Reformation. The word ‘reformation’ was widely used during these centuries, but its meaning changed in significant ways. By adopting a linguistic methodology, the dissertation studies reformation as a concept in motion; consequently, the English Reformation, a term widely used today, is treated not as an analytic category but as a historiographical label that developed contingently. The chapters fall into three roughly equal sections, each of which covers a distinct discourse of reformation. Chapters one and two cover the first discourse, which identified reformation as the work of a church council. This discourse began at the Council of Constance (1414 – 1418) and remained firmly in place in all Christian localities through the mid-sixteenth century, when it was challenged by a new discourse: reformation by armed resistance, which is introduced at the end of chapter two and discussed in chapters three and four.

  • The London Yearly Meeting and Books in the Quaker Atlantic World in the Late Seventeenth Century
    165 THE LONDON YEARLY MEETING AND BOOKS IN THE QUAKER ATLANTIC WORLD IN THE LATE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Quaker use of print culture has been an important subject for studying the spread and support of the faith in England and beyond. Kate Peters contributed greatly to the examination of early Quaker print culture, arguing that Quaker writing and publications 'emerged as a tool of leadership', or as a method of maintaining authority over the movement.1 J. William Frost examined the idea of the Quaker Transatlantic Community through books, comparing books read by English Quakers to those read by Pennsylvania Quakers in the eighteenth century.2 This paper looks at the early Quaker Atlantic World and its networks, from travelling ministers and emigrants to commercial trade, examining some of the mechanisms of selection and distribution of Quaker print materials. The paper relies on the term community to mean a group of people with shared beliefs and a process of exchange but who were dispersed over a large area. Books printed in London, one process of exchange among others, allowed London Quakers to communicate ideas with a community of scattered Friends. The London Yearly Meeting was able to take advantage of London's position as a national and international city to create systems to exchange correspondence, print materials, and supplies necessary for survival in the colonies, and this paper will focus on its use of books in the Quaker Atlantic World.3 The roots of early Quaker print culture grew out of Thomas Aldam's 1652 recommendation that print materials were 'verye serviceable for weake friends, and convinceing the world',4 and the growth of Quakerism into a transatlantic community led to wider use of books and pamphlets for the same purposes.

  • Bishop John Jewel and the Catholicity of the Church of England, 1535-1599
    ‘Because Thy God Loves England’: Bishop John Jewel and the Catholicity of the Church of England, 1535-1599 Angela May Ranson Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of History October 2013 2 Abstract John Jewel (Bishop of Salisbury 1559-1571) became the champion of the Church of England mere months after the formation of the Elizabethan religious settlement. He preached a sermon at Paul’s Cross that challenged the Roman Church to prove that certain traditions had existed in the early church; a strategy that allowed him to portray the Church of England as the true inheritor of the apostolic church, due to its pure doctrine and right administration of the sacraments. This sermon started a decade of controversy, which influenced the development of demarcation lines between the Church of Rome and the Church of England. This thesis argues that Jewel’s work as a polemicist and apologist for the Church of England was a key factor in the development of a Protestant self-identity for the Church of England. Using a unique methodology and a vast knowledge of patristic and Biblical sources, Jewel re-defined the term ‘catholic’ in a way that enabled him to argue for the catholicity of the Church of England while still separating it from the Catholic Church. He gave the English Church authority and legitimacy by portraying it as both part of the true universal church, and yet distinctly English. Drawing on Jewel’s own works, as well as the works of the men who fought for and against him, this thesis demonstrates that Jewel made a significant contribution to the establishment of the Church of England as a national institution.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT The subject of this study is the translation into English of French Protestant works on religion in the last three decades of the sixteenth century. The study focuses on the translators and the religious impulse underlying their translation work. This translation project represents one aspect of a large and varied translation industry at work in England in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. There are several reasons for this study's particular focus. First, religious works constitute the single largest category of works in translation. Second, the largest number of such translations appear in the late sixteenth century, and of these, French Protestant works predominate.
