Chapter 1: the Life and Times of John Owen 9
Christ Exhibited and the Covenant Confirmed: The Eucharistic Theology of John Owen John C. Bellingham, MDiv Faculty of Religious Studies McGill University, Montreal February 27, 2014 Submitted to the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts There is a reception of Christ as tendered in the promise of the gospel; but here [in the Lord’s Supper] is a peculiar way of his exhibition under outward signs, and a mysterious reception of him in them, really, so as to come to a real substantial incorporation in our souls. This is that which believers ought to labour after an experience of in themselves; …. they submit to the authority of Jesus Christ in a peculiar manner, giving him the glory of his kingly office; mixing faith with him as dying and making atonement by his blood, so giving him the glory and honour of his priestly office; much considering the sacramental union that is, by his institution, between the outward signs and the thing signified, thus glorifying him in his prophetical office; and raising up their souls to a mysterious reception and incorporation of him, receiving him to dwell in them, warming, cherishing, comforting, and strengthening their hearts. – John Owen, DD, Sacramental Discourses XXV.4 ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments iv Abstract v Résumé vi Introduction: John Owen and the Lord’s Supper 1 Chapter 1: The Life and Times of John Owen 9 Chapter 2: John Owen’s Sixteenth Century Inheritance 35 Chapter 3: The Lord’s Supper in Reformed Orthodoxy 80 Chapter 4: John Owen’s Eucharistic Theology 96 Conclusion 133 Bibliography 137 iii Acknowledgments I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the following people without whom this project would not have been possible. -
Land in Oxford and Great Marlow, Bucks., Bequeathed by John Browne (Master 1745–64), 1755-1971
1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:E23 - LAND IN OXFORD AND GREAT MARLOW, BUCKS., BEQUEATHED BY JOHN BROWNE (MASTER 1745–64), 1755-1971 John Browne, from Marton, Yorkshire, came up to University College in May 1704, and was elected a scholar in November 1705. He was then elected a Skirlaw Fellow on 23 August 1711. As a Fellow, Browne held many of the major offices of the College, in particular acting as Bursar during the 1720s. During the great Mastership dispute at the College of the 1720s, when two Fellows both claimed to be Master, Browne supported Thomas Cockman, the ultimate victor. In 1738 Brown was appointed Archdeacon of Northampton, and he resigned his Fellowship in February 1738/9. In 1745, however, he returned to University College on being elected Master. Brown remained Master, still retaining his archdeaconry, until his death on 7 August 1764. He had served as Vice-Chancellor from 1750–3. In addition to the preceding posts, Brown had also been vicar of Long Compton, Warks, for half a century, and in 1743 he was appointed a canon of Peterborough Cathedral. Browne had prospered in his ecclesiastical career, and he remained a bachelor. On his death in 1764, therefore, Browne proved a major benefactor to his old College. Not only did he bequeath his extensive library to the College for the use of successive Masters, but he also left a house at 88 High Street Oxford (now the site of Durham Buildings) and some property at Great Marlow, Buckinghamshire, to trustees, both to endow new undergraduate scholarships, but also to augment the stipends of existing scholarships whose value had declined with time. -

There is no doubt, however, in the continued historical and archival importance of this publication, and at no point was it considered that the Record would discontinue. Many of you have collections of the Record dating back to the year you came up, cherish the arrival of each edition, and read it from cover to cover. For the last nine years, Dr Robin Darwall- Smith has consistently produced a Record that is superbly written, accurate and full of interest, and I am sure that readers will want to join me in thanking Robin for his work as Editor in this time. -
From Poet to Poet Or Shelley's Inconsistencies in Keats's Panegyric
From Poet to Poet or Shelley’s Inconsistencies in Keats’s Panegyric: Adonais as an Autobiographical Work of Art by Caroline Bertonèche (Paris 3) Adonais, in short, is such an elegy as poet might be expected to write upon poet. The author has had before him his recollections of Lycidas, of Moschus and Bion, and of the doctrines of Plato; and in the stanza of the most poetical of poets, Spenser, has brought his own genius, in all its ethereal beauty, to lead a pomp of Loves, Graces, and Intelligences, in honour of the departed. (Leigh Hunt, “Unsigned Review of Adonais”, The Examiner, 7 juillet 1822)1 I have engaged these last days in composing a poem on the death of John Keats, which will shortly be finished; and I anticipate the pleasure of reading it to you, as some of the very few persons who will be interested in it and understand it. It is a highly wrought piece of art, perhaps better in point of composition than anything I have written. (Lettre de Shelley à John et Maria Gisborne, 5 juin 1821, Complete Works, X 270) When Shelley said of Adonais, not long after its completion, that it was its most accomplished piece of art, “better in point of composition than anything [he] ha[d] written” while mentioning, in his Preface, the “feeble tribute of applause” (Shelley’s Poetry and Prose 392) it nonetheless represents, he does not to seem to want to hide his own sense of personal satisfaction, nor does he fail to confess certain obvious limitations in his work as a Romantic elegist. -
Conversion in James Shirley's St Patrick for Ireland
CONVERSION IN JAMES SHIRLEY’S ST PATRICK FOR IRELAND (1640) Alison Searle In his play St Patrick for Ireland (published in 1640), the Caroline dramatist, James Shirley (1596–1666), represents the complex process of Ireland’s conversion from paganism to Christianity.1 There are two distinct reasons why St Patrick for Ireland is unique in Shirley’s oeuvre: it was specifically written for his Irish audience at the Werburgh Street theatre, and it makes extensive use of spectacular stage effects (devils, serpents, fire and so on). It was produced while Shirley was in Dublin, under the rule of the English Deputy, Sir Thomas Wentworth. Shir- ley’s own religious convictions are unclear: his biographer, Anthony Wood, claims that he converted (as an ordained clergyman) from the Church of England to Catholicism before he became a playwright.2 This is largely unverified by biographical evidence to date, but it has had a profound impact on subsequent accounts of Shirley’s life and works.3 Shirley lived during a period of revolutionary religious change. He wrote plays and masques for Charles I and Henrietta Maria; he was principal dramatist at the Werburgh Street theatre in Dublin 1 I am grateful to the anonymous peer-reviewer of this essay for suggestions that clarified the structure and presentation of the overall argument. I have also been helped by discussions with Eugene Giddens, Samantha Rayner, Justine Williams, Eva Griffith and Rowlie Wymer. 2 Anthony Wood, Athenae Oxonienses (London: Thomas Bennet, 1692) vol. 2, 260–261. 3 Sandra Burner notes that James Shirley can probably be identified with the Jaco- bus Shirley listed in a Recusant Role (The National Archives E77/49); however, there is also a record of his assent to the Bill of Uniformity on 18 August, 1662: Burner, S., James Shirley: A Study of Literary Coteries and Patronage in Seventeenth-Century Eng- land (Lanham: 1998) 168, 194, 210. -

VIII. yJ HonOon: Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd., 124, Chancery Lane. — PREFACE This volume of Marriage Registers, the eighth of the Derbyshire series, contains the Registers of nine parishes, besides an odd Register for Ilkeston parish, omitted from the last volume. 1379096 It has not been thought needful to print the entries verbatim. They are reduced to a common form, and the following con- tractions, as before, have been freely used : w. = widower or widow. p. = of the parish of. co. = in the county of. dioc.= in the diocese of. lie. = marriage licence. It should be remembered that previous to 1752 the year was calculated as beginning on the 25th March, instead of the I St of January, so that a Marriage taking place on say 20th February, 1625, would be on that date in 1626 according to our reckoning ; but as the civil and ecclesiastical year were both used, this is sometimes expressed by 20th February, i62f. In all cases where the marriage is stated to have taken place by Licence, that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to age, parentage, and voca- tion of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allegations in the Archdeaconry or other ofifice from which the Licence was issued. -

Richard Clayton (Master 1665-76)
1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES Papers of Richard Clayton (Master 1665-76) Richard Clayton matriculated from University College in 1618, and was elected a Percy Fellow in 1629. He resigned his Fellowship in 1639, but kept his name on the College books at least until 1643. In 1665, he returned to the College when he was elected Master, and remained in post until his death in 1676. More on Clayton’s Mastership can be found in Robin Darwall-Smith, A History of University College, Oxford (Oxford, 2008), pp. 187–93. All the following papers, except UC:MA29/W/1 were originally found with the papers of his successor as Master, Obadiah Walker (see UC:MA30 below). Presumably, as with the papers of Thomas Walker in UC:MA26 above, they were still in the Master's Lodgings when Walker moved in, and became mixed up with his own papers, which were left behind when he fled the College in 1688. Since these papers concern Clayton more than Walker, they are listed here. Note here UC:BU3/F1/4 , Clayton's Bursar's Book from 1637/8, which he then used from 1647-1668 as his personal account book. Catalogued in November 1994.

The Thanatic Corporeality of Edward Onslow Ford's Shelley Memorial
Chapter 4 of David J. Getsy, Body Doubles: Sculpture in Britain, 1877-1905 (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2004), revised and expanded from an article of the same title published in Visual Culture in Britain 3.1 (April 2002): 53-76 4 "Hard Realism": The Thanatic Corporeality of Edward Onslow Ford's Shelley Memorial Some have skeletons in their closets; Oxford has a corpse. Since its unveiling in 1893, Edward Onslow Ford's memorial to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley has been a disconcerting presence at University College (figs. 71, 77-81). Often met with derision, the Shelley Memorial has suf fered perennial undergraduate pranks, vandalism, and recurring attempts to bury - or at least move - this uneasy and awkward body. In art-historical accounts of the period, the work has been quietly passed over despite its importance to late Victorian sculpture and criticism.' All of this squeamishness, however, is precisely the point. Almost a century before the corpse would be explored by sculptors like Paul Thek, Robert Gober, or Marc Quinn Edward Onslow Ford brought the viewer face to face with thanatic corporeality. Ford used the commission for the ShelleyMemorial to formulate a polemical contribution to the on-going debates about the propriety and potential of sculptural verisimilitude. He employed the corpse as the embodiment of realism itself and made the figure of Shelley its poetic allegory. In this work he posited a highly self-conscious and self-reflexive articulation of verisimilitude and its overlap with the materiality of the sculptural object. Despite the fact that he would become one of the pillars of the sculptural renaissance in the 1880s and 1890s, Ford had little of the formal training in sculpture from which his col leagues benefited. -
CUDDESDON and DENTON NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Submission Version
CUDDESDON AND DENTON NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Submission version Cuddesdon: originally an Anglo-Saxon hilltop settlement and still surrounded by open countryside with exceptional far-reaching views 1 SUMMARY 1. This document briefly describes the Neighbourhood Planning process for those who are unfamiliar with it and the village for those who have not visited it. This is followed by an assessment of the village character and then our vision and aims for the plan. It ends with a set of planning policies designed to deliver the vision and aims. 2. Cuddesdon and Denton is a small parish about 6 miles south east of Oxford with nearly 500 people in three distinct settlements – Cuddesdon, Chippinghurst and Denton. 3. Cuddesdon itself is home to Ripon College Cuddesdon, one of the largest theological colleges in the country and well known worldwide. Generations of theological students have appreciated the peace and tranquillity, as well as the stunning views of the surrounding countryside, a defining feature of the village. 4. The church and agriculture have shaped the parish for nearly 1500 years. More recently the Green Belt has maintained the character and protected the wonderful views across to the Chilterns, North Wessex Downs and Garsington. This protection is much valued by residents. 5. Cuddesdon is designated as a ‘Smaller’ unsustainable settlement with minimal services and within the Green Belt and is not expected to grow significantly. Denton and Chippinghurst are not classified meaning that growth is even less likely. 6. The parish has a mixed architectural style with some 28 Listed Buildings and Monuments. The theological college and Parish Church dominate the skyline from all sides. -
Reginald Walter Macan (Master 1906-23)
1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:MA43 Papers of Reginald Walter Macan (Master 1906-23) R.W. Macan (1848–1941) attended Charterhouse from 1864–7, before becoming a scholar of University College in 1868–1872. He got a First in Classics in Michaelmas 1871. In December 1872 he became a Senior Student at Christ Church. After holding a Hibbert Travelling Scholarship from 1873–5, he became a Tutor at Christ Church in 1876–81. He had to resign his Fellowship there on his marriage, but was not re-elected, allegedly on the grounds of religious unorthodoxy. He then worked as a lecturer at both Brasenose and University College from 1882–4, before being elected as a Tutor and Fellow at University College in 1884. He was a classicist, and his most famous published work was a commentary on Books IV–IX of the Histories of Herodotus. In 1906 Macan was elected Master. Macan was a layman, and his election marks a turning point in College history: before 1906 only one layman had served as Master (Antony Gate in 1584–97), but since 1906 only one clergyman (John Wild in 1945–51) has held the post. He retired in 1923, and lived at Boars Hill until his death in 1941. See further Robin Darwall-Smith, A History of University College, Oxford (Oxford, 2008), pp. 422-47. In 1881 Macan married his second cousin Mildred Healey, and they had five children, Basil (1882–1915), who was killed in the First World War, Agatha (b. 1884), Dorothea (b. 1886), Eric (1888–1900), and Norah (b.
