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.

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.

  • 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.

  • The Building of the Second Palace at Cuddesdon
    The Building of the Second Palace at Cuddesdon By J. C. COLE N this paper I propose to discuss the surviving documents connected with I two legal disputes which arose in Oxford during the second half of the seventeenth century, from which we can learn some details of the building of the second palace at Cuddesdon and the craftsmen who were employed upon that work. The first of these disputes was brought before the Court of Arches in ,66g,' the second before the Vice-Chancellor's Court in ,681.' Before 1634 the Bishops of Oxford had no dwelling house especially appropriated to their use, but lived either in their parsonage houses or in hired lodgings in Oxford. In that year, as Anthony Wood tells us, William Laud, then Archbishop, persuaded the Bishop of Oxford, John Bancroft, to build a house for his own use and that of his successors' for ever '.3 The site chosen was the small village of Cuddesdon, of which Bishop Bancroft happened to hold the incumbency. The place was conveniently situated about five miles to the south-east of Oxford and not far from the old London Road. The building, which displaced an earlier parsonage house described as mean and ruinous,' was said to have cost about £2,600. King Charles gave his approval to the project and contributed fifty timber trees from the royal forest of Shot­ over as well as remitting a sum of £343 from the first fruits of the bishopric.' Several representations are to be found of the palace, which contemporaries called' a fair house of stone '.6 Laud paid it a visit of inspection in ,635' and stayed there again in ,636 on his way from London to Oxford to entertain the King.

  • Univ Online Catalogues
    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:E8 Property at Woodstock and Waterstock, Oxon, 1566-1927 A house at Woodstock, and some land at Waterstock, were given to University College by Simon Perrot (or Parret or Perret) in 1584, just a few months before his death. Perrot (1514– 84) had been a Fellow of Magdalen College in 1533–50, and also Principal of Magdalen Hall in 1541–50 (see further A. B. Emden, A Biographical Register of the University of Oxford A. D. 1501 to 1540 (Oxford 1974), 442–3). Perrot also gave benefactions to Magdalen College to endow an annual speech given by a scholar, known as the ‘Perrot Oration’, and an annual sermon to be preached in the College’s Chapel on St. Mark’s Day. Perrot gave the Waterstock and Woodstock properties to University College, on condition that they arranged for a sermon to be preached every year on the day of St. Simon and St. Jude at the church of St. Peter in the East (where he would be buried), and also distribute 20s among the poor of that parish, and he gave the Master and Fellows £4 in the name of a mutuum or “stock”. This was a sum of money which the Bursar would pass on each year to his successor, having added a little more money into it, which he could use during the year as a source of ready cash. The Woodstock house, which was in Market Street, later became an inn called the Blandford Arms. More information on it can be found in A.

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English book owners in the seventeenth century: a work in progress listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.

The present volume, like the last, contains the Marriage Registers of one parish only, St. Werburgh, which, also like those of All Saints, cover exactly the same length of years, 1558 to 1837; comprise, at some periods, a large proportion of marriages from other parts of the county ; and are rich, after 1753, in having the general addition of the man's occu- pation or position. 1.37^9098 Mr. Llewellyn Lloyd Simpson is the editor responsible for the transcription and for passing the proofs through the press. The assistance of Mr. E. B. Smith, of Derby, in part of the labour of transcribing is also gratefully acknowledged. It is worthy of note that the Marriage Registers of all the five parishes comprised in the Borough of Derby are now printed, as well as those of the adjoining country parishes. The parishes composing the Borough of Derby, the periods comprised by their Registers, as printed, and the volumes of this series in which they are contained, are as follows : St. Alkmund VI. 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 vocation of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allega- tions in the Archdeaconry or other office from which the licence issued.
