  • Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics of Liberty and Necessity
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87006-1 - Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics Liberty and Necessity: A Quarrel of the Civil Wars and Interregnum Nicholas D. Jackson Frontmatter More information Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics of Liberty and Necessity This is the first full account of one of the most famous quarrels of the seventeenth century, that between the philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) and the Anglican archbishop of Armagh, John Bramhall (1594–1663). This analytical narrative interprets that quar- rel within its own immediate and complicated historical circumstances, the Civil Wars (1638–1649) and Interregnum (1649–1660). The personal clash of Hobbes and Bramhall is connected to the broader conflict, disorder, violence, dislocation and exile that charac- terised those periods. This monograph offers not only the first comprehensive narrative of their hostilities over two decades, but also an illuminating analysis of aspects of their private and public quarrel that have been neglected in previous biographical, historical and philosophical accounts, with special attention devoted to their dispute over political and religious authority. This will be essential reading for scholars of early modern British history, religious history and the history of ideas. nicholas d. jackson was a University Fellow at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University, from 1997 to 2005. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87006-1 - Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics Liberty

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-18144-0 - Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics of Liberty and Necessity: A Quarrel of the Civil Wars and Interregnum Nicholas D. Jackson Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION Historians may know that sometime in the seventeenth century the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes debated John Bramhall, Bishop of Derry. But where and what did they debate? And why did they debate the issues they did? It is not difficult to find brief descriptions or summaries of their public debate on free-will; this book provides the first comprehensive account not only of that debate, but also of their private quarrel and hostile relations during both the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Interregnum. Hobbes and Bramhall argued about much more than ‘liberty’ and ‘necessity’ (free-will and determinism), and the following account offers a detailed historical expla- nation of their debating those and other issues. By situating their long and acrimonious, private and public, dispute within its contemporary context we may come to view the whole quarrel as a by-product or collateral intel- lectual skirmish of those rebellions and wars in the British Isles. We can also come to understand exactly what stakes they were playing for: what would a victory in the dispute mean to themselves, their friends and their audience? Although the clash of arms in their homeland was quite destructive, it was also productive of such contests of wit as the uncivil war of words between Hobbes and Bramhall that began across the Channel. In the summer of 1645, during the First English Civil War, Hobbes and Bramhall met in Paris, at the lodgings of their mutual acquaintance, the recently retired Cavalier general, the Marquess of Newcastle.

Thompson: The High Church Tradition in Ireland, 1800-1870, with particular reference to John Jebb and Alexander Knox. (Thesis for the M.A. Degree, 1992) ABSTRACT This is a critical enquiry into the widely held belief that the doctrines of pre-Tractarian High Church Anglicanism have exercised a specially tena• cious hold on the Church of Ireland. Chapter 1 surveys the tradition as developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, but also examines the peculiarity of a Church established by law in a land the majority of whose people adhered to other Christian bodies.

  • Oleriaal Life in Ireland in the Eighteenth Oentwry, 425
    Oleriaal Life in Ireland in the Eighteenth Oentwry, 425 ART. III.-CLERIOAL LIFE IN IRELAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. N an article in this Magazine in June last, a sketch was given I of the life of a remarkable Irish Divine of the eighteenth century. But Skelton's life was so full of incident, that little space was lefo to treat of the times in which he lived, To that subject we now revert. .A. glance must, however, be taken even further back if we wish to understand the low state of spiritual and Church life a hundred and fifty years ago. Take Bramhall, King, and Boulter, as three leading men on the Episcopal Bench, occupying each a prominent place in successive epochs, and we shall learn from them in what condition the Reformed Church of Ireland existed a century or two after the Reformation was forced on the country. John Bramhall was brought to Ireland by Strafford as his chaplain, and was employed by him to ascertain the condition of the Church. In 1633 he was a commissioner in a Royal visitation in which the revenues and status of the Church were inquired into. The revenues were found to have been squandered, the discipline scandalously despised, the clergy meanly considered, and many bishoprics were made as low as sacrilege could make them. Oloyne was reduced to five marks a year. Ardfert and Aghadoe, in Kerry, were reduced, the former to £60 a year, the latter to £1 ls. 8d. Simony pre­ vailed largely. Bramhall wrote to Laud that in Dublin one church was converted into a stable for the Lord Deputy's horses, and the choir of another into a tennis court, of which the vicar acted as marker.

  • Matters Essential and Matters Indifferent in 17Th Century English Theology by (Rev’D) David Curry
    Let us thus think of the Trinity: Matters Essential and Matters Indifferent in 17th Century English Theology by (Rev’d) David Curry Introduction The retrospective viewpoint is a common feature of Canadian literature. It is complemented by another viewpoint, the introspective viewpoint, that is to say, looking inward. The interplay of retrospection and introspection provides the narrative framework for certain novels, for instance the Manawaka novels of Margaret Laurence. Whether you are like Hagar in The Stone Angel, a ninety year old lady, looking back on her life and discovering the ways in which she has been doubly blind, both blind to herself and to others, realizing in a wonderful phrase that “pride was my wilderness,” or like Morag Gunn in The Diviners, divining an understanding of oneself through the activity of writing, the engagement with the past is altogether crucial for an understanding of identity. Indeed, the failure to come to terms with one’s past is destructive of identity. That recovery of the past, however, is actually a creative activity, for in remembering we re-appropriate the things that belong to our identity. The challenge is to have a free and honest relation to the past. Some of you may know the story about Fr. Crouse in the early 60s, responding to a Bishop who was complaining about ‘the new theology’ that was beginning to infect seminaries and theological colleges. “No, Bishop,” he is said to have replied, “not new theology, no theology.” And now, we might ask, what would he say? Well, after a meeting of the Primate’s Theological Commission several years ago, his response was “not much theology.” But that’s progress.

Sep. 2021 Calvinist Absolutism: Archbishop James Ussher and Royal Power Since the publication of Michael Walzer’s Revolution of the Saints and Quentin Skinner’s influential revision of Walzer’s arguments, historians of Britain and Ireland have most often conjoined Calvinism (or Reformed Orthodoxy) with the political theories of limited monarchy, resistance, and revolution.1 Walzer argued that the theory of revolution espoused by mid-seventeenth-century Puritans arose out of a distinctively Reformed theology; Skinner preferred to trace Calvinist revolutionary theory to late medieval scholasticism.
