D . , BISHOP OF CHESTER , 1686 TO 0 1689 . BY THE REV . F . SANDERS , M . A . ( Read 23rd December , 1889 . ) n N examining the list of bishops who have presided U over the see of Chester since its separate existence , we are forced to admit that it is not a list of conspicuously great men . Amidst many sound theologians , eminent scholars , and vigorous administrators , two only of the Cestrian prelates can be called men of the highest dis tinction . No English see can boast of a ruler greater as a theologian than the author of the Exposition of the Creed , the writer " whose very dross is golden , ” ? the ever -memorable John Pearson . And if Chester in the seventeenth century could point with unmingled pride to her Pearson , she has also been able in this nineteenth century to point with no less pride to that eminent scholar , who has done so much to throw light upon many a confused and obscure period of our nation ' s history , and * In the preparation of this paper , I am under the deepest obligation to the Rev . Canon Perry , rector of Waddington , Lincolnshire , for much valu able help . 2 Bentley THOMAS CARTWRIGHT , D . D . , whose wondrous insight and patient thoroughness have won the admiration of all his contemporaries , and made England , as well as Oxford and Chester , to boast of her great historian , William Stubbs . But if the bishops of Chester , taken as a body , have not been conspicuously great men , I think that no one would venture to dispute the fact of their being men of virtuous life and high character . As far as I know , there is but one exception to the truth of this statement , and that exception is the individual whom I have chosen for the subject of this paper . And I will here make the con fession that when I undertook to write an account of Bishop Cartwright , I was not without the hope of doing something to clear his reputation from some of the charges made against it . I thought that there must be some good in a man who met with nothing but abuse from Burnet and Macaulay . But I am obliged to own that I have been unable to discover it . Cartwright ' s career from first to last seems to have been that of an unprincipled and un scrupulous man , whose great object in life was his own advancement , and who shrank from no means , however ignoble , to attain that object . But let the facts of his life speak for themselves . On the 16th of July , 1686 , the death of Bishop Pearson , which had been long expected , took place . On the roth of the same month had died Dr . John Fell , the well - known Bishop of Oxford . Two sees were thus simultaneously vacated , and great anxiety was felt by all true sons of the Church of England as to the men whom King James would nominate to fill them , for those who had the best opportunities of knowing the king ' s mind were suspicious of his intentions towards the national Church . The two sees which had previously fallen vacant since his acces sion had indeed been filled by men of unexceptionable BISHOP OF CHESTER , 1686 TO 1689 . character . Peterborough had been given to Dr . Thomas White , and Bristol to Dr . Jonathan Trelawny . Both of these prelates were afterwards of the illustrious seven who , with the primate , refused compliance with James ' s illegal commands . But at the time of their appointment the king was by no means secure upon his throne , and he dared not venture to offend the Church of England .

CSIC. Madrid In the Grinfield Lectures 2003 devoted to The Study of the Septuagint in Early Modern Europe Prof. Scott Mandelbrote deals, among other interesting issues, with the text of the Alcalá Polyglot, the earliest printed text of the Septuagint completed the 10th July 1517. He pointed out the impact of the arrival of Codex Alexandrinus in England in 1627 and its use as one of the main authorities for the London Polyglot (1653–1657), whose editor, Brian Walton, was especially critical of the text of the Complutensian Polyglot and the precise age of the manuscripts on which it had been based.1 Indeed, Walton’s judgement is highly negative; he maintains that the Greek text of the Alcalá Polyglot is very far from the genuine Septuagint. It is a compilation of several different texts with Hexaplaric additions and even Greek commentaries in an attempt to relate it to the Hebrew text printed in the parallel column.2 He backs up his statement with some examples taken from the first chapter of the book of Job. Since then the vexed problem of the Greek manuscripts used by the Complutensian philologists has been dealt with by different scholars, including myself. However, I think it is worthwhile taking another look at the question in the light of new evidence which has recently been published in the context of Septuagint textual criticism.

  • A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of the Rt Revd Mark Tanner As the 41St Bishop of Chester
    A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of The Rt Revd Mark Tanner as the 41st Bishop of Chester Saturday 26th June at 2.00pm 1 Welcome from Tim Stratford, Dean of Chester A very warm welcome to Chester Cathedral on this significant day in the life of the Church of God and Diocese of Chester. It seems to have taken a long time coming. There has been a long process of discernment and selection which led up to the announcement that Bishop Mark Tanner, then Bishop of Berwick, was to be the forty-first and next Bishop of Chester. This included consultations in communities across the diocese and meetings of the Crown Nominations Commission in which the diocese was represented. Following an announcement made by 10 Downing Street, the College of Canons of this Cathedral met and unanimously elected him. Bishop Mark was confirmed as the Bishop of Chester during online proceedings presided over by the Archbishop of York on Wednesday 15th July last year. At the time we were still in the midst of the first coronavirus lockdown. Archbishop Stephen’s own confirmation had only been completed the week before, and he was still unable to move to York from Chelmsford Diocese. During these proceedings Archbishop Stephen laid a charge on Bishop Mark which is included in these pages. Bishop Mark picked up the reins here in Chester following an innovative “Crozier Service” on 20th September that was created to mark the beginning of his ministry in these unusual times. He was unable formally to occupy the Bishop’s Seat, known as the Cathedra, in the Cathedral Quire until paying homage to Her Majesty the Queen.

    1 UTAH VALLEY REGIONAL FAMILY HISTORY CENTER BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY HAROLD B. LEE LIBRARY RESEARCH GUIDE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (QUAKERS) GENEALOGICAL & HISTORICAL RECORDS "The Society of Friends is a religious community. It exists in order to worship God and to witness those insights (whether on issues of peace, race relations, social justice, or whatever else) which it has found through its experience of corporate search. The Society has throughout its history sought to be meticulous in the keeping of records (whatever shortcomings there may have been in practice) and recognizes that it stands as trustee in relation to those records. The Society is not, as such, interested in genealogy, though many of its members over the years have found it an absorbing subject. There are many applications of the words of Isaiah {51:1}: "Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord; look unto the rock from whence ye are hewn and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

The Palatinate of Cheshire serves as an example to argue a tradition of independently negotiated county level structures for taxation and law created degrees of customary autonomy reinforcing the localized rejection of a single nation state. Historiographical debates surrounding early-modern conceptions about the nature of the state are challenged to argue for provincial autonomy founded upon custom and negotiation claimed and exerted by county inhabitants to a greater extent than previously recognised. I contend that early-modern communities locally recognized the composite structure and authority of the realm under the Crown and its advisors, but rejected the corporate idea that all counties collectively form a ‘nation’ as one political body.
