Israel would have perished by the wrath of God had not Moses * stood before them in the gap.' We are sure that, as a faithful leader, you also will not fail to standforth in defence of the people committed to your charge, and of the faith of the church in peril ; and we have been assured thatyou have commenced an effort to repress the widening breach in the rule of faith at this time existing, especially among the more ignorant people. Let us not therefore be deemed to impute lukewarmness to your grace, for we solemnly declare we have no such intention ; our aim is only to addfuel to the flame ofyour zeal. We acknowledge that the errors offaith in question had their origin among us, and that we did not at first take active measures to correct them. But now we desire to do so, and we are ready to die, if need be, for the true faith of the Church. In the meantime we beg that the writings of the learned but erring doctor of this University, which are the source of the trouble, may be submitted to usfor discussion and refutation.

Religiosius exemplum ponendum erit, siquidem irato Domino periisset populus Israel propter sua scelera, si non Moyses stetisset, si non obviasset minanti. Denique et objiciens se pro suis ait, 'si dimittis, dimttte, sin autem dele me de libro luo.'

Nam vestra interest resarcire damna fidei et scandala emergencia in regno Dei. Hec ob eam rem dixerimus, ut discidium, quod in norma fidei nostre, potissime apud indoctum vulgus, nuper exoriri visum est, celerius extinguere curetis ; ne improbitas, que in suis amputanda principiis fuit, decursu temporis et lacior et pertinacior fiat. Quo in negocio laborem illustrem vos feliciter inchoasse sepe- numero audivimus. Prosequamini opus est, et ne languori dederitis. Hoc enim vos immortalitati perenni consecraturum est.

Huic malo vestram medicinam paratam esse non ambigimus, sed, et unum est quod maxime angit animum nostrum, quia impro- borum hominum plurimi calumpnie infamieque verba in nos minus caute refundunt, asseverantes Universitatem nostram eos, qui jam- dudum, ut incerto rumore fertur, pullularunt errores, excipere, amplecti, fovere.

Tlie wisest men have ever considered the moral and intellectual training 0/princes the great safeguard of states ; and the most illustrious princes have in a peculiar degreefavoured those places where virtue and learning are inculcated together. Very rarely do we find in history a successful ruler or general who was not also a patron of letters. Take Philipp of Macedon as an instance, of whom it is said that he thanked the Gods that his son Alexander came into the world at a time when he could receive the instruction of Aristotle. We too have high hopes for your future, and we beg that you will deign to accept the title of Defender of this University, and will also be in deed our protector.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

Smith Frontmatter More information THE HEADS OF RELIGIOUS HOUSES ENGLAND AND WALES 1377–1540 This final volume of The Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales takes the lists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic houses ending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering 600 years of monastic history. In addition to surviving monastic archives, record sources have also been provided by episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court records, and private, family and estate collections. Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent; dependencies; and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An intro- duction discusses the use and history of the lists and examines critically the sources on which they are based. david m. smith is Professor Emeritus, University of York. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M.

INTRODUCTION The big picture of national history is inevitably made up of many interlocking local histories. This book is a local history not only for local people, but to offer a case study of an individual Christian community. The research was initiated in the year 2004 to commemorate 1400 years of Christian worship and witness in Wye. As an important regional centre of the independent Kingdom of Kent, it is highly likely that the Christian activities in Wye began in the lifetime of the missionary saint, Augustine of Canterbury, who died on 26 May, probably in 604. The year 2004 was also the 1400th anniversary of the death, on 11 March, 604, of Gregory the Great.

Christian Religion (of which I haue spoken before) which presently after our blessed Sauiours passion, was both preached, and planted in this Island, by Ioseph of Arimathea, and his associates, and after that aduanced, and increased by Lucius King of the Britaines, and his famous Clerkes; being darkened, ouerclouded, and al= most totally eclipsed, with the contagious smoke arising from such abhominable sacrifices as were offered here vnto strange Idols; was againe illumined, and recomforted with the glorious beames of reli= gious light by Augustine the Monke, and his fellow-labourers in Christs vineyard. Which Augustine (sent hither from Rome by Gregory the great) when he had found such fauour in the sight of King Ethelbert, that he might freely preach the Gospell in this his countrey; hee chose for as= semblie and prayer, an old Church in the East part of this Citie, which was a long time before builded by the Romanes, and hee made thereof (by li= cence of the King) a Church, for himselfe and his successours, dedicating the same to the name of our blessed Sauiour Christ; whereof it was alwayes afterward called Christ-Church. And by the meanes of the said Pope Gre= gory, hee translated the Metropolitan See from London (the Cathedrall Church being then at Saint Peters in Cornhill) to this his newly consecra= ted Church here in Canterbury: whereof he was the first Archbishop. By these proceedings the prophesie of Merlin was fulfilled, which foretold that Christianity should faile, and then reuiue againe, when the See of Lon= * Robert of don did adorne Canterbury.

  • Edward Hasted the History and Topographical Survey of the County
    Edward Hasted The history and topographical survey of the county of Kent, second edition, volume 9 Canterbury 1800 <i> THE HISTORY AND TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE COUNTY OF KENT. CONTAINING THE ANTIENT AND PRESENT STATE OF IT, CIVIL AND ECCLESIASTICAL; COLLECTED FROM PUBLIC RECORDS, AND OTHER AUTHORITIES: ILLUSTRATED WITH MAPS, VIEWS, ANTIQUITIES, &c. THE SECOND EDITION, IMPROVED, CORRECTED, AND CONTINUED TO THE PRESENT TIME. By EDWARD HASTED, Esq F. R. S. and S. A. LATE OF CANTERBURY. Ex his omnibus, longe sunt humanissimi qui Cantium incolunt. Fortes creantur fortibus et bonis, Nec imbellem feroces progenerant. VOLUME IX. CANTERBURY PRINTED BY W. BRISTOW, ON THE PARADE. M.DCCC. <ii> <blank> <iii> TO WILLIAM BOTELER, ESQ. OF EASTRY. SIR, IT is with much pleasure that I take this opportu= nity of acknowledging my obligations to you, during the many years friendship which has subsisted between us, and still continues undiminished. This Volume, Sir, to which I have taken the liberty of prefixing your name, approaches to the history of that part of the county, in which I have been more particularly in= debted to you, for your unremitting assistance, without iv which I should, I fear, have been greatly deficient in my description of it. Your indefatigable searches into whatever is worthy of observation, in relation to Eastry and its neighbourhood, could alone furnish me with that abundant information requisite for this pur= pose; and to you, therefore, the public is in great measure indebted for whatever pleasure and informa= tion they may receive from the perusal of this part of my History, which from the long residence, as well as the respectable consequence of your family, for so many descents, in this part of the county, must afford you a more peculiar satisfaction; that it may meet with your approbation, is my sincere wish, who am with the greatest regard and esteem, Sir, Your most faithful and much obliged humble servant, EDWARD HASTED.
