PREFACE I FR5FACE Th8 present study grew out of the practical experience of the writer. He was early asked to become Vice-Principal of a Iheological €follege, and as he looks back on the appointment he can only consider that his qualifications were two convenient degrees in biblical and related 'studies, and that he was unmarried. His enthusiasm for his studies, and the labour involved in the preparation of lectures, concealed for some time his inadequacy for the worko In due course it became clear that the attempt to prepare men for Holy Orders demanded much more than a knowledge of certain subjects and the ability to push candidates (the term is scarcely too strong) through their examinations. The inadequacy revealed within the theological gollege was underlined by lengthy experience amongst service men, particularly overseas. Here the inadequacy was revealed not only in the teacher or the guide, but also in the arrangements for the ordinand himself. Apart from good will, little practical help for Anglicans overseas seemed available. To the writer this seemed an unwise state of affairs after many hundreds of years of church history, even though it was a state of affairs commended by many. There are those who!say that the training of men for the ministry is purely a personal matter and that occasionally the good trainer of ordination candidates appears^ apparently quite fortuituously. The late B.K. Cunningham has frequently been instanced as the PREFACE ideal trainer of ordinands. Ihe present Archbishop of York, Dr Garbett, has expressed distaste for any attempt to guide ordination candidates in the early stages of their preparation; i the late Dr. Hedlam remained resolutely opposed to theological Colleges all his life. This inertia or hostility towards theological training is probatly peculiar to the Church of England. Both Roman Catholics and Protestants believe firmly in a specific training for the ministry, and the time has certainly come in the Church of England when the subject demands the fullest consideration. With the steady decline in the numbers of the ministry over the last half century it could scarcely be affirmed jthat a policy of laisser faire is obviously successful. i On the other hand the present policy of training and preparation may well be Imperfect. There is therefore room for an historical study of the thought and advice of the Church of England on this subject. So far as is known the matter has never yet been fully considered in this way. Several reports on the training of the ministry that have b§en issued in the 20th century contain an occasional reference to Cranmet-, Burnet, or Wilson, but no sustained historical study has yet been offered. The following chapters are limited geographically to the two provinces of Canterbury and York;and in point of time to the period between the Reformation and the suppression of PREFACE ' iil. Convocation in 1717. It is hoped that this may be the first part of a full and detailed consideration of the subject down to the present day. ALL evidence and quotations have been given in full or in extensive summary because they are generally difficult of access for the ordinary reader, and one main aim of the study is to present a fairly comprehensive source book, on the subject. It has not been easy to decide- on the arrangement of materiaL. It was felt necessary to avoid approaching the subject with any kind of pre-conception. It would have been i unwise toi force the material into the mould of one's own ideas; at the same time chronological exposition of material would have been wearying. It is believed that the present arrangements covers all the available information on the subject. It may seem to some that the first chapter is overloaded with legislative details. Yet a glance at the Index ( s.v. Ordination) to the Statutes in Force published in two large volumes by the Stationery Office in 1950 will shew that even in the 20th century the regulations that are binding on admission to the ministry, are predominantly Elizabethan. The proportion of space given'to this chapter corresponds to the influence that this period has played. One result of the intellectual unrest of the 16th i PREFACE century was the realisation that simply to confer Orders upon a man was not to equip him for the ministry of the church, le therefore see in the Elizabethan church and in the first part of the 17th century the steadily rising intellectual standards of the clergy and the remarkable success of the church, greater for example than it is at present, in providing a graduate ministry. It is only later that other emphases began to emerge; the ability to preach, an aptitude for the pastoral work of the ministry, and above all the need for a true vocation. At the end of our period all these requirements were realised and the three-fold emphases on the knowledge, prudence and holiness of the i minister correspond very closely to what C^A.C.T.M. requires to-day. I have tried to acknowledge faithfully all help received in the place where such help has been used. If thBre are any omissions, I offer my sincere regrets. C0NTEBIT5 VI.

Bharrat Jagdeo General Editors: David Dabydeen & Lynne Macedo Consulting Editor: Ian McDonald 3 4 SERIES PREFACE Modern Guyana came into being, in the Western imagination, through the travelogue of Sir Walter Raleigh, The Discoverie of Guiana (1595). Raleigh was as beguiled by Guiana’s landscape (“I never saw a more beautiful country...”) as he was by the prospect of plunder (“every stone we stooped to take up promised either gold or silver by his complexion”). Raleigh’s contemporaries, too, were doubly inspired, writing, as Thoreau says, of Guiana’s “majestic forests”, but also of its earth, “resplendent with gold.” By the eighteenth century, when the trade in Africans was in full swing, writers cared less for Guiana’s beauty than for its mineral wealth. Sugar was the poet’s muse, hence the epic work by James Grainger The Sugar Cane (1764), a poem which deals with subjects such as how best to manure the sugar cane plant, the most effective diet for the African slaves, worming techniques, etc.

  • The Boomerang Theology of Andrew Marvell
    The Boomerang Theology NIGEL SMITH of Andrew Marvell Résumé : La poésie lyrique d’Andrew Marvell a suscité quelques discussions bien connues de la poétique protestante, puritaine et contre-réformatrice. Tou- tefois la religion joue un autre rôle, presqu’entièrement inexploré, dans sa poésie. On a remarqué jusqu’à quel point ses œuvres en prose des années 1670, dans lesquelles il exprime ses opinions sur la tolérancereligieuse, la liberté civile et l’absolutisme, incorporent des vers et des expressions remaniés de sa poésie, parmi d’autres références poétiques. Cet article considère la poésie de Marvell, autant en soi qu’en son remaniement, comme le chantier où a été forgée la largeur d’esprit manifestée dans sa prose. hirty years ago, the last time a large body of Marvell editions were Tpublished, the poet and politician’s public life and professed belief presented a number of seemingly unsolvable difficulties that were at least helpful in explaining the ambiguities and ironies for which his most famous poems were celebrated.1 A Parliamentarian and Puritan; a friend of Milton, but someone who apparently expressed sympathy for King Charles I, and so, perhaps, a covert royalist. A friend of the nonconformists, during the Restoration, and a stout defender of liberty of conscience, but despite his attack on the bishops, someone who was prepared to defend them in certain circumstances. A vehement spokesman against popery, and its concomitant, arbitrary government, but someone prepared occasionally to defend Catho- lics. We have come a long

    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. 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. 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.

    THE INTELLECT-WILL PROBLEM IN THE THOUGHT OF SOME NORTHERN RENAISSANCE HUMANISTS: COLET, ERASMUS, AND MONTAIGNE ERWIN R. GANE Pacific Union College, Angwin, California In an earlier essay I have dealt with the intellect-will problem in the thought of Nicholas of Cuss.' In the present article I will treat the same question in the thought of three other Northern- Renaissance humanists: Colet, Erasmus, and Montaigne. Finally in my "Summary and Conclusion" at the end of this essay, I shall endeavor to draw some comparisons and contrasts covering all four of the men. 1. John Colet Colet's View of Man's Nature John Colet (d. 1519), perhaps most famous as an English educator in Oxford and London, adhered to the Augustinian doctrine of original sin, involving inherited guilt and universal human depra~ity.~When Adam sinned the whole race sinned so that his descendants were born with depraved natures and per- verted intellects and wills, subject to the sentence of eternal death. Leland Miles suggests that Colet argued for a tendency to evil in fallen man with no "absolute obliteration of free will."3 Ernest Hunt quotes Colet to prove that his concept involved total depravity of reason and will in relation to spiritual matters: lSee AUSS 12 (July 1974): 83-93. The introductory section in that earlier essay (pp. 83-84) outlines more specifically the particular problem treated in both articles, and it may therefore be useful to reread that section as an introduction to the material being presented now. aLeland Miles, John Colet and the Platonic Tradition (La Salle, Ill., 1961), pp.

  • The Bishop of Winchester's Deer Parks in Hampshire, 1200-1400
    Proc. Hampsk. Field Club Archaeol. Soc. 44, 1988, 67-86 THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER'S DEER PARKS IN HAMPSHIRE, 1200-1400 By EDWARD ROBERTS ABSTRACT he had the right to hunt deer. Whereas parks were relatively small and enclosed by a park The medieval bishops of Winchester held the richest see in pale, chases were large, unfenced hunting England which, by the thirteenth century, comprised over fifty grounds which were typically the preserve of manors and boroughs scattered across six southern counties lay magnates or great ecclesiastics. In Hamp- (Swift 1930, ix,126; Moorman 1945, 169; Titow 1972, shire the bishop held chases at Hambledon, 38). The abundant income from his possessions allowed the Bishop's Waltham, Highclere and Crondall bishop to live on an aristocratic scale, enjoying luxuries (Cantor 1982, 56; Shore 1908-11, 261-7; appropriate to the highest nobility. Notable among these Deedes 1924, 717; Thompson 1975, 26). He luxuries were the bishop's deer parks, providing venison for also enjoyed the right of free warren, which great episcopal feasts and sport for royal and noble huntsmen. usually entitled a lord or his servants to hunt More deer parks belonged to Winchester than to any other see in the country. Indeed, only the Duchy of Lancaster and the small game over an entire manor, but it is clear Crown held more (Cantor et al 1979, 78). that the bishop's men were accustomed to The development and management of these parks were hunt deer in his free warrens. For example, recorded in the bishopric pipe rolls of which 150 survive from between 1246 and 1248 they hunted red deer the period between 1208-9 and 1399-1400 (Beveridge in the warrens of Marwell and Bishop's Sutton 1929).
