    JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES BY JOHN S. SIMON, D.D. AUTHOR OF * A SUMMARY OF METHODIST LAW AND DISCIPLINE,' * THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION IN ENGLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY,' ETC. LONDON THE EPWORTH PRESS J. ALFRED SHARP First edition, 1921 PREFACE Canon Overton, in his Life in the English Church, 1660- ' 1714, says that there is no doubt that John Wesley intended his Societies to be an exact repetition of what was done by Beveridge, Horneck, and Smythies sixty-two years before.' ' He continues : How it was that the Methodist Societies took a different course is a very interesting, and, to a church- man, a very sad question.' In this book I have given descrip- tions of the first Rehgious Societies, and have shown their development under the influence of Dr. Woodward and John Wesley. From those descriptions my readers wiU be able to judge the accuracy of Canon Overton's statement concern- ing John Wesley's intentions. There can be no doubt, how- ' ' ever, that the relationship between the Religious Societies ' ' and the United Societies of the People called Methodists was so close that the latter cannot be understood without an intimate knowledge of the former. In writing this book, I have kept the Methodist Church in view. My eyes have been fixed on John Wesley and the England in which his greatest work was done. We can never understand the revival of religion which glorified the eighteenth century until we see Wesley as he wls, and get rid of the false impressions created by writers who have had an imperfect acquaintance with him and his evangelistic work.

  • 260 Paul Kléber Monod This Is an Ambitious Book. Monod's
    260 book reviews Paul Kléber Monod Solomon’s Secret Arts: The Occult in the Age of Enlightenment, New Haven and London: Yale University Press 2013. x + 430 pp. isbn 978-0-300-12358-6. This is an ambitious book. Monod’s subject is the occult, by which he means ‘a type of thinking expressed either in writing or in action, that allowed the boundary between the natural and the supernatural to be crossed by the ac- tions of human beings’ (p. 5). Although he cites the work of Antoine Faivre, Wouter Hanegraaff and others, readers of Aries will doubtless be interested to learn Monod’s reasoning for using the term occult in preference to West- ern esotericism. In short, while acknowledging the important contribution of the ‘esoteric approach’ he also highlights its perceived ‘shortcomings’, namely a tendency to regard relevant texts as ‘comprising a discrete and largely self- referential intellectual tradition, hermetically sealed so as to ward off the taint of other forms of thought, not to mention social trends and popular practices’. Moreover, ‘scholars of esoteric religion’ apparently ‘have a tendency to inter- pret whatever they are studying with the greatest seriousness, so that hucksters and charlatans turn into philosophers, and minor references in obscure eso- teric works take on labyrinthine significances’ (p. 10). In practice, what Monod understands here as the occult is largely restricted to alchemy, astrology and rit- ual magic; a maelstrom which, among other things, pulled in readers of Hermes Trismegistus, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, Jacob Boehme and the Kabbalah, outwardly respectable scientists and anti-Trinitarians (sometimes one and the same); Philadelphians; French Prophets; Freemasons; students of Ancient Britain and the Druids; cunning folk; authors of popular Gothic novels; certain followers of Emmanuel Swedenborg; Neoplatonists; advocates of Ani- mal magnetism; and Judaized millenarians.

  • Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745
    Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright 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 Jonathan Sheehan, chair Professor Ethan Shagan Professor Niklaus Largier Summer 2018 Abstract Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonathan Sheehan, Chair This dissertation explores a unique religious awakening among early modern Protestants whose primary feature was a revival of ascetic, monastic practices a century after the early Reformers condemned such practices. By the early seventeenth-century, a widespread dissatisfaction can be discerned among many awakened Protestants at the suppression of the monastic life and a new interest in reintroducing ascetic practices like celibacy, poverty, and solitary withdrawal to Protestant devotion. The introduction and chapter one explain how the absence of monasticism as an institutionally sanctioned means to express intensified holiness posed a problem to many Protestants. Large numbers of dissenters fled the mainstream Protestant religions—along with what they viewed as an increasingly materialistic, urbanized world—to seek new ways to experience God through lives of seclusion and ascetic self-deprival. In the following chapters, I show how this ascetic impulse drove the formation of new religious communities, transatlantic migration, and gave birth to new attitudes and practices toward sexuality and gender among Protestants. The study consists of four case studies, each examining a different non-conformist community that experimented with ascetic ritual and monasticism.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.

Abstract of a thesis accepted by the Johns Hopkins University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I. DOCTRINES OF THE LABADISTS. LABADISM was a late product of that spirit of reform which inaugurated the Protestant systems. Theologically it belonged to the school of Calvin. In its spirit it was con- formable to that sentiment of ideal brotherhood, which has ever been a favorite mode of representing the fellowship of Christian believers. Though distinctive in many of its dogmas, and altogether so in the mode of life which it prescribed, yet its articles of faith were in general accordance with those of the Reformed Church of the Netherlands, of which it was an offshoot.

  • The Maryland Disease: Popish Plots and Imperial Politics in the Seventeeth
    The Maryland Disease: Popish Plots and Imperial Politics in the Seventeeth Century Courtesy Collection of the of Maryland State Archives By Owen Stanwood The Occasional Papers of The Center for the Study of Democracy Volume 4, Number 1, Fall 2011 The Center for the Study of Democracy: A Better Understanding of Maryland and the World Although we often focus on contemporary issues associated with democracy and liberty, the Center for the Study of Democracy was originally inspired by the historical importance of St. Mary’s City and the discussion of innovative 17th-century ideas about politics that helped establish effective civil government in the Maryland colony. This occasional paper brings us back to our 17th-century roots. Among the most important principles of civil government instituted at St. Mary’s City is ‘freedom of conscience’—a principle that remains in practice today and one that continues to act as the bedrock for many other core democratic values in the United States. This principle not only provides support for democratic liberties concerning freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but also directly supports the legal notion of separation of church and state. In the early years of Maryland’s founding, colonists, through the Assembly of Maryland, officially separated religion from civil government by passing An Act Concerning Religion. This act, as Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson points out “…represented the first time in the English-speaking world that government formally renounced by legislative enactment the right to dictate to its citizens what they must believe or how they must evince it.” It allowed settlers of different Christian faiths to vote and hold public office without a religious test and it remains a foundational civil liberty in the United States today; citizens of all faiths are entitled to freely participate in our democracy, irrespective of religious beliefs.

FOUNDATIONOF THE YORHCOUNTY HOSPITALAND PERSECUTIONOF DR. BURTON. IN the first part of this memoir, Burton’s two forceps were described and his purely professional writings reviewed, with references to allusions in the pages of Sterne’s novel. This part will treat of hie public work, of his political labours and consequent persecution, and of Burton as an antiquary, and will end with a consideration of the doings and sayings of Dr. Slop as chronicled in Tristrarn Shandy. The history of the foundation of the York Hospital and the political entanglemenh of the learned doctor is presented to us in detail in his British Liberty Endangered. Of this work, the College of Surgeons possesses a copy, purchased at the sale of Dr. Merriman’s library. The title page, here reproduced, is missing in the College copy :- BRITISH LIBERTY ENBANGERED, a Narrative, wherein it is proved that John Burton has been a better friend to the English Constitution in Church and State than his Persecutors. 1749. “ This personal narrative of Dr. John Burton, the author of the Monasticon Eboracense, is excessively rare and gave rise to the quarrel between him and Sterne, for which the latter immor- talised Burton as Dr. Slop in his Tristram Shandy.” (Extract from Thorpe’s Catalogue, Bibliotheca Britannica, 1839, pasted in the College copy.)

  • Samuel Cooper's Old Sermons and New Enemies: Popery And
    Note: I provide this essay only as background. My panel talk will summarize Protestant Constitutionalism more generally and also argue for its contemporary relevance. Please contact me with questions: [email protected] Samuel Cooper’s Old Sermons and New Enemies: Popery and Protestant Constitutionalism GLENN A. MOOTS ABSTRACT This article reinterprets the role of Protestantism in the American Revolution by examining the unpublished sermon manuscripts of Boston Congregationalist minister Samuel Cooper. Even as late as 1775, Protestant ministers like Cooper identified Protestantism withlibertyandRomanCatholicismwithtyranny.Butthesesameministerseagerlyallied with Catholic France against Protestant Britain in the Revolution. Cooper even redeployed colonial war sermons against his new British foes in the Revolution. The shifting loyalty of ministers like Cooper cannot be explained by mere expediency or secularization of the political elite. Rather, the explanation lies in the evolving nature of transatlantic Protestant constitutionalism—the ongoing association of Protestantism with liberty and the rule of law—over 2 centuries. On March 15, 1775, off-duty British soldiers and Loyalists held a mock town meeting outside the British Coffee House in Boston. They played their opponents to type and concluded with a costumed mock oration performed by Loyalist surgeon Dr. Thomas Bolton. Publication of Bolton’s oration followed, probably printed by a Loyalist printer outside of Boston. Not coincidentally, March 15 also saw the publication of an oration delivered just 9 days earlier— that year’s official annual oration commemorating the Boston Massacre delivered by Dr. Joseph Warren (Akers 1976, 23–25). The roster of commemorative orators since 1771 was a “who’s who” of Patriot leaders: John Hancock, Glenn A.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Anna Maria Van Schurman and Antoinette Bourignon As Contrasting Examples
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Groningen Digital Archive Gender, genre and authority in seventeenth-century religious writing: Anna Maria van Schurman and Antoinette Bourignon as contrasting examples Mirjam de Baar (University of Groningen) Publishing entails publicity or at least an intervention in the public sphere. Wo- men in the early modern period, however, were not allowed to speak in public. In accordance with the admonitions of the apostle Paul (I Cor. 14:34 and I Tim. 2:11-12) they were meant to observe silence. A woman who wanted to publish her thoughts was suspected of being willing to make her body available as well. This injunction to female silence was so strong that the majority of women who did publish felt the need to justify their audacity. In addition to these cultural admonitions advocating female silence, Merry Wiesner, author of Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe , mentions two other barriers that prevented women in early modern Europe from publishing: their relative lack of educational opportunities and economic factors. 1 These barriers might explain why women throughout the early modern period repre- sented only a tiny share of the total amount of printed material, though their share did increase during this period. Patricia Crawford has shown that in England between 1600 and 1640 publications by women accounted for only 0.5 percent of the total, increasing in the next six decades to 1.2 percent. 2 The majority of early modern women’s published works were religious, particularly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the vast majority of all publications were religious.
