Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Ment in the Plan of the Eastern Limb of Any One
    NOTES ON THE HOLY BLOOD OF HAYLES.1 By W. H. ST. JOHN HOPE, M.A. Those who have given any attention to the develop- ment in the plan of the eastern limb of any one of our great cathedral, collegiate, or monastic churches are aware that, apart from the question of adding a lady chapel, any important eastern extension is usually due to the desire to build a chapel for the tomb or shrine of some person of great or particular sanctity connected with the church. Chichester, Ely, Rochester, Wells, Lincoln and Lichfield, Winchester and Worcester all afford examples, and to them may be added the most notable of all, the metropolitan church of Canterbury, concerning which we have the explicit statement of Gervase that William the Englishman in 1179 laid the foundation for the enlarge- ment of the church at the eastern part, because a chapel of St. Thomas was to be built there. To these and many others that could easily be named there has been added within the last few years another remarkable and unsuspected example in the Cistercian abbey of Hayles. The site of this was excavated by the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society in 1899 and carefully planned by Mr. Brakspear the following year, when it was found that the original square east end of the church had been replaced by a rounded apse with an outer ring of five polygonal chapels. In the middle of this uncommon arrangement was a rough block of masonry which had clearly formed the base of a shrine.

  • Preaching and the Reformation in Henrician Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society PREACHING AND THE REFORMATION IN HENRICIAN KENT BRIAN M. HOGBEN Some dioceses are more fortunate than others in the materials which they afford to the student of the English Reformation. A most valuable source for the diocese of Canterbury is a well-known MS volume kept in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.' Given to his college by Archbishop Matthew Parker, the volume contains three documents, presumably bound together for the archbishop himself. All are written on paper measuring, for the most part, 12+ in. by 8It in. The pagination, which is in red crayon, is thought to be in Parker's own hand. After p. 1 and its verso (unnumbered) the pages run from 5 to 441. The second of the documents, which begins at p. 365, is entitled, 'The book of the expenses of D. Cranmer, Latymer, and Ridley, for the time of their imprisonment in Oxford and of their execution'. Preceded by a letter and petition which refer to them, the accounts are dated December 1566. The third item in the volume, beginning on p. 405, is believed to have been written for Parker by Ralph Morice, Cranmer's secretary, and bears the title, 'A declaration concerning the progeny with the manner and trade of the life and bringing up of that most reverent Father in god Thomas Cranmer'. However, it is the first and longest document on which this paper is based. Untitled, it consists mainly of evidence collected in various ways during the enquiries in the summer and autumn of 1543 following the so-called Prebendaries' Plot, in which a number of conservative clergy and laity of the Canterbury diocese had conspired to denounce Archbishop Cramer to the King's Council.

  • 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.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Philip Melanchthon's Influence on the English Theological
    PHILIP MELANCHTHON’S INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH THEOLOGICAL THOUGHT DURING THE EARLY ENGLISH REFORMATION By Anja-Leena Laitakari-Pyykkö A dissertation submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of Helsinki Faculty of Theology August 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Anja-Leena Laitakari-Pyykkö To the memory of my beloved husband, Tauno Pyykkö ii Abstract Philip Melanchthon’s Influence on English Theological Thought during the Early English Reformation By Anja-Leena Laitakari-Pyykkö This study addresses the theological contribution to the English Reformation of Martin Luther’s friend and associate, Philip Melanchthon. The research conveys Melanchthon’s mediating influence in disputes between Reformation churches, in particular between the German churches and King Henry VIII from 1534 to 1539. The political background to those events is presented in detail, so that Melanchthon’s place in this history can be better understood. This is not a study of Melanchthon’s overall theology. In this work, I have shown how the Saxons and the conservative and reform-minded English considered matters of conscience and adiaphora. I explore the German and English unification discussions throughout the negotiations delineated in this dissertation, and what they respectively believed about the Church’s authority over these matters during a tumultuous time in European history. The main focus of this work is adiaphora, or those human traditions and rites that are not necessary to salvation, as noted in Melanchthon’s Confessio Augustana of 1530, which was translated into English during the Anglo-Lutheran negotiations in 1536. Melanchthon concluded that only rituals divided the Roman Church and the Protestants.
