There were few villages and towns in Lancashire that were left untouched by the ‘iniury of the tymes’ when Catholicism was driven underground and her adherents were persecuted mercilessly, some condemned to death. At that time Lancaster was the seat of the assizes in North West England and in recent years the Church has recognised the heroic virtue of 14 priests and laymen from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered on account of their faith on the outskirts of the city. The prayers within this book have been collected from devotional tracts and books of that time, all of which would have been considered contraband.

  • Gender, Family and Vocation in English Clerical Households, Circa 1590-1714
    THE TRIBE OF LEVI: GENDER, FAMILY AND VOCATION IN ENGLISH CLERICAL HOUSEHOLDS, CIRCA 1590-1714 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Michelle Wolfe, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Cressy, Adviser Professor Barbara Hanawalt Professor Carla Gardina Pestana ______________________________ Adviser Professor Birgitte Søland History Graduate Program ABSTRACT Setting out the parameters for Protestant church government in 1559, Elizabeth I of England granted "that the priestes and mynisters of the Church may lawfully, for the aduoyding of fornication, have an honest and sober wyfe." With that relatively unenthusiastic concession, marriage became a legal and lasting option for all clergy of the Church of England. Surplices and sanctions on economic and martial activity remained as medieval Catholic continuities in early modern Protestant clerical identity. Marriage, on the other hand, was an innovation that brought critical changes. Its effects went far beyond the strategic (and not always successful) containment of illicit clerical sexuality. The end of institutionalized celibacy had essential implications for clerical manhood, clerical spirituality, clerical poverty, the development of clerical professional networks, the administration of clerical discipline, the structure and maintenance of clerical dignity and the dynamics of clerical-lay relations in English parishes. It created an entirely new and distinct group of women in England's social and gender hierarchy: clerical wives. Yet the social and cultural history of clerical marriage and clerical families in post- reformation England has received insufficient scholarly attention. A handful of works, most notably Eric Carlson's and Helen Parish's studies of the clerical marriage debate during the Tudor Reformations, have addressed this revolution in clerical domestic life.
