  • Hay Any Work for Cooper 1 ______
    MARPRELATE TRACTS: HAY ANY WORK FOR COOPER 1 ________________________________________________________________________________ Hay Any Work For Cooper.1 Or a brief pistle directed by way of an hublication2 to the reverend bishops, counselling them if they will needs be barrelled up3 for fear of smelling in the nostrils of her Majesty and the state, that they would use the advice of reverend Martin for the providing of their cooper. Because the reverend T.C.4 (by which mystical5 letters is understood either the bouncing parson of East Meon,6 or Tom Cook's chaplain)7 hath showed himself in his late Admonition To The People Of England to be an unskilful and beceitful8 tub-trimmer.9 Wherein worthy Martin quits himself like a man, I warrant you, in the modest defence of his self and his learned pistles, and makes the Cooper's hoops10 to fly off and the bishops' tubs11 to leak out of all cry.12 Penned and compiled by Martin the metropolitan. Printed in Europe13 not far from some of the bouncing priests. 1 Cooper: A craftsman who makes and repairs wooden vessels formed of staves and hoops, as casks, buckets, tubs. (OED, p.421) The London street cry ‘Hay any work for cooper’ provided Martin with a pun on Thomas Cooper's surname, which Martin expands on in the next two paragraphs with references to hubs’, ‘barrelling up’, ‘tub-trimmer’, ‘hoops’, ‘leaking tubs’, etc. 2 Hub: The central solid part of a wheel; the nave. (OED, p.993) 3 A commodity commonly ‘barrelled-up’ in Elizabethan England was herring, which probably explains Martin's reference to ‘smelling in the nostrils of her Majesty and the state’.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

  • R.R. Kershaw, "Lincoln: Gentlemen, Musicians and Bakers,"
    87 LINCOLN Gentlemen, musicians and bakers" Though Lincoln has a distinct claim to fame as one of the earliest General Baptist churches, knowledge of it has been scanty in the extreme. This has been due essentially, as so often elsewhere, to the dearth of individual church and wider early denominational records: the first Lincoln church book - deposited with Lincolnshire Archives in 1959 - only has records dating from 1767, and in any case appears to have been a Particular Baptist offshoot from a church at Horncastle. In 1911 W.S. Linton, church secretary of the Thomas Cooper Memorial Church in Lincoln, attempted a 'History of the General Baptist Church in Lincoln' (a typescript copy is in the Angus Library at Regent's Park College). But Linton did little more, for the period before 1700, than ransack Whitley and the older general histories for the sparse and uninformative general references to Lincoln to be found there. In these unpromising circumstances, is it possible to recover aspects of a 'lost' history from hitherto neglected sources? In the diocese of Lincoln, it assuredly is possible. For among the diocesan records are not only a host of early wills and inventories, but also the records of ecclesiastical authority which enable names of the earliest Baptists to be discovered. Armed with these names, and with sometimes vivid detail from the records of visitation courts to hand, the wills and inventories flesh out character, place individuals in social and economic perspective, and enable not only a membership listing but also valuahle clues to the tenor of the church to emerge.

  • Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 55, No. 4, October 2004. f 2004 Cambridge University Press 654 DOI: 10.1017/S0022046904001502 Printed in the United Kingdom Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England by PETER SHERLOCK The Reformation simultaneously transformed the identity and role of bishops in the Church of England, and the function of monuments to the dead. This article considers the extent to which tombs of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century bishops represented a set of episcopal ideals distinct from those conveyed by the monuments of earlier bishops on the one hand and contemporary laity and clergy on the other. It argues that in death bishops were increasingly undifferentiated from other groups such as the gentry in the dress, posture, location and inscriptions of their monuments. As a result of the inherent tension between tradition and reform which surrounded both bishops and tombs, episcopal monuments were unsuccessful as a means of enhancing the status or preserving the memory and teachings of their subjects in the wake of the Reformation. etween 1400 and 1700, some 466 bishops held office in England and Wales, for anything from a few months to several decades.1 The B majority died peacefully in their beds, some fading into relative obscurity. Others, such as Richard Scrope, Thomas Cranmer and William Laud, were executed for treason or burned for heresy in one reign yet became revered as saints, heroes or martyrs in another. Throughout these three centuries bishops played key roles in the politics of both Church and PRO=Public Record Office; TNA=The National Archives I would like to thank Craig D’Alton, Felicity Heal, Clive Holmes, Ralph Houlbrooke, Judith Maltby, Keith Thomas and the anonymous reader for this JOURNAL for their comments on this article.

  • Society in Early Modern England
    5 The Rise and Fall of ‘Commonwealth’ In 1584 a Cambridge ‘Scholar’ wrote to his ‘friend in London’ telling how he had been invited to spend Christmas in the ‘company’ of a ‘very worshipful and grave gentleman’ whose son – a pupil of the scholar – was about to leave university for the Inns of Court. The scholar noted that the ‘request was grateful unto me in respect of the time, as also the matter, but especially of the company’: his host had ‘great wisdom, experience, and grave judgment in affairs of the world that do occur’, especially regarding ‘our own country’. The ‘singular delight to be in his company’ only increased when they were joined by an ‘ancient’ lawyer ‘who haunted much the company of the said gentleman my friend’. Although the lawyer ‘was inclined to be a Papist’ it quickly became apparent that he showed ‘moderation and reservation of his duty towards Prince and country’; prioritized ‘friend- ship or service’ over ‘their different conscience’; and ‘neither was wilful or obstinate in his opinion, and much less reproachful in speech’. Such ‘temperate behaviour, induced this gentleman and me, to affect the more his company, and to discourse as freely with him in all occur- rences, as if he had been of our own religion’ (Anon. 1584, 2–4). So begins one of the most vicious and libellous pamphlets of the early modern period. With the fi ctional ‘company’ quickly and skil- fully established, there followed a three-way dialogue between the Scholar, Gentleman, and Lawyer conducted ‘after dinner . for our recreation .

Quidditas 138 WRITING AND REWRITING EARLY MODERN HISTORY: FIVE SIXTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH CHRONICLERS Barrett L. Beer Kent State University, Emeritus & Andrea Manchester Independent Scholar In the field of early modern historical writing, sixteenth-century English chronicles have been regarded as an outdated medieval form, and they and their authors have suffered in comparison with later works influenced by Renaissance humanism. Yet in the Tudor period, chronicles, especially the smaller, abridged versions, enjoyed a substantial readership and were reprinted multiple times—very often with revisions. The nature of and motivation behind these revisions reveal much about the varying personal priorities and backgrounds of the chroniclers as well as the readership for which they were writing. This study focuses on five sixteenth-century chroniclers, Thomas Cooper, Robert Crowley, Richard Grafton, John Mychell, and John Stow.

  • Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 a Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy Who Served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain (2003) 2
    Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 a biographical directory of Anglican clergy who served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain First edition 2003 Copyright the Reverend Dr. Michael Blain, 2003 Reproduced online with permission at http://anglicanhistory.org Address inquiries to [email protected] Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 A biographical directory of Anglican clergy who served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain (2003) 2 Introduction This biographical directory features all the Anglican priests who served in the southern regions of the South Island of New Zealand between 1852 and 1919. 1852 marks the licensing of John Fenton the first Anglican priest with pastoral responsibilities in the new town of Dunedin. 1919 marks the retirement of the first bishop of Dunedin, Samuel Tarratt Nevill. Between these two dates some 200 clergy came and went from Otago and Southland, the region served now by the Anglican diocese of Dunedin. All of them here receive attentive research. They prove to be a fascinating group of people, whose backgrounds, careers, and connections offer a unique insight into colonial Otago. George Augustus Selwyn, the bishop of New Zealand (from his appointment on 10 October 1841 to his resignation in May 1869) was the epitome of a missionary—going everywhere fast, staying nowhere long in his efforts to reach everyone in every place. He met the leading colonists and church members in Dunedin in 1848, but had no priest to offer them until after the two dozen ships and chaplains of the Canterbury Association had arrived two years later in Canterbury.
