FROM Fenny Drayton: Mr. NA- PTHANAEL STEPHENS, M.A. Add; In his younger Days, he was a very hard and close Student; often spend- ing sixteen Hours a Day in his Study: And his Thoughts would be sometimes so close and intent, that he would strangely forget himself. In his old-Age, he was pleasant and chearful. One that was then well acquainted with him, has gi- ven me this Instance of it among others; that when he came with his Friend, and knock’d at his Vol. II. A 2 Door, 578 Door, at Stoke near Hinkley, he call’d to them to come in and ask’d them, whether of the two, the Blind or the lame, he would have had open the Door for them? He being at that Time lame, and not able to rise out of his Chair without Help; and his Wife blind; and none of the Family near at hand.

He would often tell a Story of what happen’d in the West, where he was born, when he was young. A Clergyman coming into the Church, went up to the Chancel to bow to the Altar. It so happen’d, that there was no Altar there, but the Communion-Table stood against the East-Wall, and a Boy sate up on it. The Boy seeing the Priest coming towards him, slipt down, and stood before the Table, upon his Feet. At length the Priest made a low Bow, and the poor Boy thinking it was to him that the Respect was paid, bow’d as low to him again; and the Bows were repeated three times on each Side; the Boy being a little surpriz’d at the Priest’s wonderful Civility. In this Case (he said) the Boy knew well enough who it was he bow’d to: But whether or no it was so as to the Priest, is questionable. For the GOD whom Christians worship, is no more in the East, than in the West; no more in the Chancel than in the Church; nor no more there, than in the House or Field, unless when his People are there worshipping him, in Spirit and in Truth at which Times he is with them by his SPIRIT and Grace. Before the Coming of CHRIST, it was the Duty of the Jews in the Western Parts, to worship towards the East, because Jerusalem and the Temple stood that Way, 1 Kings viii. 48. Dan. vi. 10. And this might be the Reason why some Christians in the Primitive Times rook up the Fashion of Praying towards the East. They judaiz’d in that, as well as in some Other Things. Bur now Mount Sion is no more holy than Mount Gerizim, or the Mountains in Wales. Happy were it for the World 579 World if John iv. 20, to 24, were generally understood. His Treatises on the Revelation, I am inform’d were after his Death in the Hand of Sir Charles Woolsley. And Mr. Caldwell of Cambridgeshire, had his Leave to copy our one of them, which was on the Slaughter of the Witnesses, Rev. 11. Of this I shall give the Reader a short Account in Mr. Caldwel’s own Words. “It appears by his printed Book on Rev. xiii. 17, 18, that he reckon’d the Roman Kingdom, see forth by the Legs of Iron, and the Toes of Iron and Clay, Dan. ii. 33, 40, to 43, to begin sixty Years before the Birth of CHRIST, when Pompey took Jerusalem and brought the Jews the People of GOD under the Romans.

CHRIST gives Power, or his Spirit to them, Chap. xi. 3. So that they being his Elect, do nor worship the Beast, as all that dwell on the Earth do, whose Names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, Chap. xiii. 8: But they prophesy, i.e. testify by their Profession and Practice, against Antichristian Idolatry and Superstition. This they do in a mournful manner, cloathed in Sackcloth, mourning for the Iniquities of the Times, for 1260 Years. “They are compar’d to Haggai and Zechariah, Chap. xi. 4. by whose Means the Temple was rebuilt after the Captivity of Babylon: And to Elijah and Elisha, and to Moses and Aaron, because of the Judgments which GOD from Time to Time would send upon their Enemies and Persecutors, ver. 5, 6. “But he did not think that the Slaughter of the Witnesses spoken of, ver. 7, was to be after the End of the 1260 Years of their Prophesying: For then the Beast shall be destroy’d; nor in the last three Years and half of them: But that it hath been, is, and will be, in all that Time, in one Place or Other. For CHRIST would still raise up such, as should bear Witness to his Truth; and the Beast would still persecute and at last kill them, when each of them in their several Times and Apes shall have finish’d his Testimony.

From 1579 to 1585 he was a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and read the Hebrew Lecture at the University during this period. In 1585 Queen Elizabeth I appointed him Master of the Temple Church at the Inns of Court where he engaged in a preaching struggle with his assistant, Walter Travers. Their disagreement over the theological and political assumptions of the reformed Church of England as defined by the Act of Uniformity of 1559 and the Book of Common Prayer led to Hooker’s composition of his great work Of the Lawes of Ecclesiasticall Politie (1593). The treatise consists of a lengthy preface which frames the polemical context, fol- lowed by eight books. The first four books address what he terms “gen- eral meditations”: (1) the nature of law in general, (2) the proper uses of the authorities of reason and revelation, (3) the application of the latter to the government of the church and (4) objections to practices inconsistent with the continental “reformed” example. The final four address the more “particular decisions” of the Church’s constitution: (5) public religious duties as prescribed by the Book of Common Prayer (1559), (6) the power of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, (7) the authority of bishops and (8) the supreme authority of the Prince in both church and commonwealth, and hence their unity in the Christian state.

PROFESSOR OF BOTANY, CITY OF LONDON COLLEGE LONDON WEST, NEWMAN & CO 54 HATTON GARDEN 1893 LONDON PRINTED BY WEST, NEWMAN AND HATTON GAEDEN PEEFACE. A FEW words of explanation as to the object and scope of this Index may fitly appear as an introduction to the work. It is intended mainly as a guide to further information, and not as a bibliography or biography. We have been liberal in including all who have in any way contributed to the literature of Botany, who have made scientific collections of plants, or have otherwise assisted directly in the progress of Botany, exclusive of pure Horticulture. We have not, as a rule, included those who were merely patrons of workers, or those known only as contributing small details to a local Flora. Where known, the name is followed by the years of birth and death, which, when uncertain, are marked with a ? or c. [circa) ; or merely approximate dates of "flourishing" are given. Then follows the place and day of bu'th and death, and the place of burial ; a brief indication of social position or occupation, espe- cially in the cases of artisan botanists and of professional collectors; chief university degrees, or other titles or offices held, and dates of election to the Linnean and Eoyal Societies.

  • Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

  • Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World During the Age of Enlightenment1
    CSCH President’s Address 2012 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World during the Age of Enlightenment1 DARREN W. SCHMIDT The King’s University College My research stemming from doctoral studies is focused on English- speaking evangelical use, interpretation, and production of church history in the eighteenth century, during which religious revivals on both sides of the North Atlantic signalled new developments on many fronts. Church history was of vital importance for early evangelicals, in ways similar to earlier generations of Protestants beginning with the Reformation itself. In the eighteenth century nerves were still sensitive from the religious and political intrigues, polemic, and outright violence in the seventeenth- century British Isles and American colonies; terms such as “Puritan” and “enthusiast” maintained the baggage of suspicion. Presumed to be guilty by association, evangelical leaders were compelled to demonstrate that the perceived “surprising work of God” in their midst had a pedigree: they accordingly construed their experience as part of a long narrative of religious ebb and flow, declension and revival. Time and time again, eighteenth-century evangelicals turned to the pages of the past to vindicate and to validate their religious identity.2 Browsing through historiographical studies, one is hard-pressed to find discussion of eighteenth-century church historical writing. There is general scholarly agreement that the Protestant Reformation gave rise to a new historical interest. In answer to Catholic charges of novelty, Historical Papers 2012: Canadian Society of Church History 188 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World Protestants critiqued aspects of medieval Catholicism and sought to show their continuity with early Christianity.

Hobbes was outed as an athe- ist and discredited almost as soon as the work appeared. Subsequent criticism was seen to be the idle pursuit of a discredited text, an exer- cise upon which young militant churchmen could cut their teeth, as William Warburton observed in the eighteenth century.2 We need to be aware, however, that this was a story that was largely the cre- ation of Hobbes’s intellectual opponents, writers with an interest in sidelining Leviathan from the mainstream of the history of ideas.

  • The Historic Episcopate
    THE HISTORIC EPISCOPATE By ROBERT ELLIS THOMPSON, M.A., S.T. D., LL.D. of THE PRESBYTERY of PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA tEfce Wtstminmx pre** 1910 "3^70 Copyright, 1910, by The Trustees of The Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work Published May, 1910 <§;G!.A265282 IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACADEMIC USAGE THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE PRESIDENT, FACULTY AND TRUSTEES OF MUHLENBERG COLLEGE IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION OF HONORS CONFERRED PREFACE The subject of this book has engaged its author's attention at intervals for nearly half a century. The present time seems propitious for publishing it, in the hope of an irenic rather than a polemic effect. Our Lord seems to be pressing on the minds of his people the duty of reconciliation with each other as brethren, and to be bringing about a harmony of feeling and of action, which is beyond our hopes. He is beating down high pretensions and sectarian prejudices, which have stood in the way of Christian reunion. It is in the belief that the claims made for what is called "the Historic Episcopate" have been, as Dr. Liddon admits, a chief obstacle to Christian unity, that I have undertaken to present the results of a long study of its history, in the hope that this will promote, not dissension, but harmony. If in any place I have spoken in what seems a polemic tone, let this be set down to the stress of discussion, and not to any lack of charity or respect for what was for centuries the church of my fathers, as it still is that of most of my kindred.

It is arranged on the same principle as The Complete Peerage (eight vols., 8vo., 1884-98), by the same Editor, save that the more convenient form of an alphabetical arrangement has, in this case, had to be abandoned for a chronological one; the former being practically impossible in treating of a dignity in which every holder may (and very many actually do) bear a different name from the grantee.
