A considerable part of the study is devoted to the Haldane movement in which the existing Congregational communion was born, but there were Congregational!sts in Scotland before the Haldanes, and there were Congregational Churches before the Tabernacles began to rise throughout the land. To these early experiments in Congregationalism a considerable part of the study is devoted. CONTENTS, PAGES, FOREWORD i ABBREVIATIONS USED, i:i CHAPTERS I.

The oldest of the Congregational Churches at present existing in Scotland proudly trace their history back to the wave of spiritual life that swept the country during the closing years of the Eighteenth Century and to the great Evangelical movement of that period with which the names of Robert and James Haldane are appropriate­ ly associated. Congregationalism in Scotland, however, die, not originate with the brothers Haldane. Any study of its origins must begin much earlier, for quite two hundred years before (in 1584) the Congregational Faith (1) was expounded to a Scottish audience, and although - as some contend - no appreciable footing may have been gained then or till long after, yet from time to time during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Congregationalism did make frequent appearances in Scotland. It has, of course, been claimed that the Refor­ mation Churches of Scotland during the first three years of their history were Independent and Congregational - at any rate so far as polity was concerned; that only with the appearance of the Second Book of Discipline in 1581 did they become definitely and pronouncedly (2) Presbyterian. wlt seemed at first as though the (Reformation) movement would proceed upon Congregational (3) lines*, another writer contends. But an impartial study of the Scots Confession and the First Book of Discipline/__________________________________ (1) Calderwood IV. p. 1. (2) Ross pp. 6, 9. (3) Martin p. 70 £. Discipline, in which the faith of Khox and his fellow reformers is set forth, and which last was the Standard of the Reformed Church for the first twenty years of its existence, gives little support to such a claim. In "The Confession of Faith professed and "believed "by the Protestants within the realm of Scotland", ratified "by ^ Parliament in Edinburgh, 17th August 1560, three notes of the true Kirk are clearly stated. These notes are "first, the true preaching of the word of God .... second­ ly, the right administration of the Sacraments .... lastly, ecclesiastical discipline uprightly administered, as God's word prescribed whereby vice is repressed and virtue nourished". It is added,- "Wheresoever then these former notes are seen, and if any time continue, be the number never so few above two or three, there, without all doubt, is the true Kirk of Christ, who, according to His promise, (4) is in the midst of them" "That", according to one (5) writer "so far ast it goes, is Congregationalism"; but it does not go far enough to claim it as such, for while what may be called the functions of the Church are enumer­ ated, nothing is said about the Christian standing and calling of those who compose the Church, upon which Congregationalism lays suchstress. H. Barrowe, whose contribution to the foundation literature of Snglish Separatism ranks in importance next after that of Browne, deals with this issue. In his "A Briefe Discoverie of the False Church" Barrowe is very outspoken in his antagon­ ism to Calvin's doctrines, to which Knox and his contempor­ aries/________________,_______________ (4) Scots Confession Cap. XVIII. (5) Martin p. 70. 3. -arias so closely adhered. Neither ministry nor sacraments according to Barrowe, are of the essence of the Church, though they are of its excellence. The teaching of the word soundly does not, of necessity, constitute a Ghurch. It may lead to the foundation of a Ghurch, which is a fellowship of those who, "being instructed, live in the ^ obedience of God. Moreover, in their interpretation of at least one of the notes of the true &irk, that ef discipline, the Scottish Reformers were far from the Congregational position. To Knox and his colleagues discipline did not exactly imply What it did to the Separatists,- that the Ghurch as a "body inside the nation should toe able to cast out from her membership and privileges those whose (7) conduct was scandalous. Rather did it imply to the Scottish Reformers,- that the Ghurch as co-extensive with the nation should deal with offences that the magistrate could or would not punish, and that ultimately "by ex­ communication, a terrible penalty making its victim an (8) outcast from social life. Such difference of interpretation was possible only because the Scottish Reformers held one view of the Church and their Congregational contemporaries, the Separatists, quite another. The latter held that the rightly constituted Church must "be composed of believers alone, was a company of people called and separated from the world by the word of tfod, and joined together in a voluntary profession of faith. Browne e.g. declares that/_______________________________________ (6) WA Briefe Discoverie" p. 34 (7) R. Browne: "A Booke which Sheweth" Def. 48 (8) lirst Book of Discipline cap. IX. E, 3. that a preaching minister is not necessary to a Jhurch, "but that two or three agreeing together in the truth and keeping separate from the wicked in their meetings con- (9) stitute a Church. Knox and his fellow reformers recog­ nised, like the Separatists, only genuine "believers as true members of the Church; "but then this Church, of which only the faithful are members, was not with them the visible but the invisible Church, the members of which (10) are known only to God. In the visible Church they had no hope of that purity of membership after which the Separatists strove. "We acknowledge and confess that darnel, cockle and chaff may be sown, grow(11)' and in great abundance lie In the midst of the wheat? Barrowe's simile of the Church as the sheepfold, sedulously guarded, a planted vineyard walled round would have been from their ' Ur*3 point of view false; to them truer fars that of the Church as the "Barneflore" in which the grains of wheat are hidden among the chaff, until it be purified by the fan 112) and the sieve. The Scottish Reformers idea of the local and visible Kirk was not the Separatists - of a gathered Church of the worthiest, of which none can be members but such as be regenerate so far as the Church can discern. Their thought was of a Church of which preaching, sacraments, discipline rightly maintained, were the pledges of its existence, and which consisted of all baptised persons who were not excommunicate and of whose Christianity was required only such negative evidence as might be afforded in religious knowledge and in the absence/_____.__________________________________ (9) R.

  • John Penry: the Martyred Prophet
    John Penry: The Martyred Prophet On the back road from Llangammarch Wells to Tirabad, about two miles south of the former an ancient white longhouse can be found. It's hidden off the road up a farm track, and tucked in below the steep northern scarp slope of Mynydd Epynt. From the track which leads up to it are broad views over the Dulais valley and across the small village of Cefn-gorwydd towards Llanwrtyd Wells and the Cambrian Mountains. It is a very quiet spot where literally all that can be heard is birdsong and the baaa-ing of sheep. This is celebrated Cefn-brith, the old farmhouse reputed to be the birthplace of one of Wales's greatest sons, John Penry. The first time I visited the farmhouse, it was during a wet spring a few years ago, and the farmyard was awash with mud and manure. It was difficult in town shoes to pick a way across the slurry to take some pictures, at the invitation of the old farmer who lived there. More recently I revisited the place and the yard was bone meal dry. It was strangely deserted, and seemingly empty, even timeless. I felt I had suddenly stepped back several hundred years, and was seeing the place as it would have been in the time it was occupied by the Penry family, although then the long, low farmhouse would have been thatched, rather than roofed with slate from North Wales. Only the old letter box on the gatepost, fashioned out of a Second World War ammunition box, suggested anything remotely like modernity - that and the bronze plaque on the porch which indicated it was a special birthplace.

As God can send a nation or people no greater blessing than to give them faithful, sincere, and upright ministers, so the greatest curse that God can possibly send upon a people in this world is to give them over to blind, unregenerate, carnal, lukewarm and unskilful guides. And yet, in all ages, we find that there have been many wolves in sheep's clothing, many that daubed with untempered mortar, that prophesied smoother things than God did allow. As it was formerly" so it is now: there are many that corrupt the Word of God and deal deceitfully with it. It was so in a special manner in the prophet Jeremiah's time; and he, faithful to that God that employed him, did not fail, from time to time, to open his mouth against them and to bear a noble testimony to the honour of that God in whose name he from time to time spake.

    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • The Elizabethan Protestant Press: a Study of the Printing and Publishing of Protestant Literature in English
    THE ELIZABETHAN PROTESTANT PRESS: A STUDY OF THE PRINTING AND PUBLISHING OF PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS LITERATURE IN ENGLISH, EXCLUDING BIBLES AND LITURGIES, 1558-1603. By WILLIAN CALDERWOOD, M.A., B.D. Submitted for the Ph.D. degree, University College. (c\ (LONBI 2 ABSTRACT Uninterrupted for forty-five years, from 1558 to 1603, Protestants in England were able to use the printing press to disseminate Protestant ideology. It was a period long enough for Protestantism to root itself deeply in the life of the nation and to accumulate its own distinctive literature. English Protestantism, like an inf ant vulnerable to the whim of a parent under King Henry VIII, like a headstrong and erratic child in Edward's reign, and like a sulking, chastised youth in the Marian years, had come of age by the end of the Elizabethan period. At the outset of Elizabeth's reign the most pressing religious need was a clear, well-reasoned defence of the Church of England. The publication of Bishop Jewel's Apologia Ecclesiae Anglicanae in 1562 was a response to that need and set the tone of literary polemics for the rest of the period. It was a time of muscle- flexing for the Elizabethan Church, and especially in the opening decades, a time when anti-Catholicism was particularly vehement. Consistently throughout the period, when Queen and country were threatened by Catholic intrigues and conspiracies, literature of exceptional virulence was published against Catholicism. But just as the press became an effective tool for defenders and apologists of the Church of England, it soon was being used as an instrument to advance the cause of further reform by more radical Protestants.
