Held by the British Museum. Opinions expressed herein are solely those of the contributors and do not express the views or opinions of the Cromwell Association. EDITOR’S NOTE On 2 September 2017 our Cromwell Day commemoration service was held in St Giles’ Cripplegate church in the City of London, where Cromwell was married on 22 August 1620; the address was given by Dr Stephen Roberts. This marked the start of holding our annual ceremony at places other than on Cromwell Green at the Houses of Parliament, due to the refurbishment programme of this iconic building, which is scheduled to take many years. In this edition I am very pleased to be able to include contributions from four of the speakers who presented at the Association’s study day on Cromwell and Europe, held in October 2017 at City Temple, London. In view of the UK’s present relationship with Europe, these articles make fascinating reading. The cover illustration is from the Dutch news sheet Hollantsche Mercurius, published in 1653. Other articles include an account of the taking of Peterborough in 1643; an entertaining read concerning the surveys of the clergy in Huntingdonshire in 1641 (perhaps an early form of what we now call annual job appraisals?); in the Writings and Sources section, Peter Gaunt explores an overlooked civil war battle in Gloucestershire which, again, in the wider sense, has modern-day parallels. A good variety of book reviews are included, alongside the regular bibliographies of both journals and books. My thanks to all the contributors for their valuable input to the journal, which I gratefully acknowledge.

We are used to thinking of his exceptional gifts. We think of his untutored, natural military genius; we think of his valour, both on the battlefield and in his relationships with political enemies and rivals. We have the evidence of his letters, speeches and ephemeral writings. He was a much-noticed person, so we have the impressions and observations of the many people who thought it worthwhile to preserve a record of their brush with greatness or notoriety. His exceptionalism is striking. The brilliant soldier who, as far as we know, had not so much as even experience in his county’s trained bands before 1642; the speeches to his Parliaments as head of state that abandoned the usual formal rhetorical devices in favour of freewheeling if tortuous oratory; above all, the rise from ‘living neither in any considerable height, nor yet in obscurity’ to become head of state. Because of his exceptional rise to high office, as the first member of the House of Commons ever to become head of state in England

  • Calvinism Vs Wesleyan Arminianism
    The Comparison of Calvinism and Wesleyan Arminianism by Carl L. Possehl Membership Class Resource B.S., Upper Iowa University, 1968 M.C.M., Olivet Nazarene University, 1991 Pastor, Plantation Wesleyan Church 10/95 Edition When we start to investigate the difference between Calvinism and Wesleyan Arminianism, the question must be asked: "For Whom Did Christ Die?" Many Christians answer the question with these Scriptures: (Failing, 1978, pp.1-3) JOH 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV) We believe that "whoever" means "any person, and ...that any person can believe, by the assisting Spirit of God." (Failing, 1978, pp.1-3) 1Timothy 2:3-4 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, (4) who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (NIV) 2PE 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (NIV) REV 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. (NIV) (Matthew 28:19-20 NIV) Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

Hereward and the Witch 3 2. A Necromancer in the Lady Chapel 5 3. Witchcraft and the Reformation 9 4. Witchfinders in Ely 11 5. Witchcraft in Ely in Modern Times 15 Notes 20 Introduction The Cambridgeshire Fens are one of the last places in England where traditional belief in witchcraft was widespread. Until as late as the mid-twentieth century, Fenland communities were isolated, and their inhabitants were more vulnerable to environmental illnesses, such as malaria, than the rest of the population. A hard life, geographical isolation, close-knit communities and mistrust of outsiders may all have contributed to the Fenlanders’ abiding belief in the power of witchcraft. Ely’s place in the history of English witchcraft is a special one. As the cathedral city at the heart of the Fens, under the independent jurisdiction of the Bishop, Ely was the place where anyone locally accused of witchcraft would be brought to trial. The city was the hub from which John Stearne completed the last stage of Matthew Hopkins’s infamous witch-hunt in the 1640s, and Ely was the scene for the (quite literal) downfall of the first ‘witch’ to appear in English history.

The primary research question is defined as: “To what extent do the dialogues under analysis relate to Arminian soteriology?” By seeking an answer to this question, new knowledge is sought on the current soteriological position of the Methodist-Lutheran dialogues, the contemporary Methodist theology and the commonalities between the Lutheran and Arminian understanding of soteriology. This way the soteriological picture of the Methodist-Lutheran discussions is clarified. The dialogues under analysis were selected on the basis of versatility. Firstly, the sole world organisation level dialogue was chosen: The Church – Community of Grace. Additionally, the document World Methodist Council and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is analysed as a supporting document. Secondly, a document concerning the discussions between two main-line churches in the United States of America was selected: Confessing Our Faith Together.
