He has remained an enigma to posterity for ·a century and a half since. Never has a character or a memory been more pel ted by writers of authority with contradictory epithets and attributes of praise and blame. He was, we have been told, a man of no true judgment and less virtue. His head was extremely hot, and confused with indigested schemes. A friend declared that his eminent talents were dashed with something restless and capricious in his nature. He was vainglorious, and without common sense. He was wayward, selfish, and ungovernable. Sometimes he would stoop to be a knave. He had a morbid craving for novelty and excitement. He was addicted to frivolous and fickle amours. He loved to preach in coffee-houses, and would play the fool as a ship's chaplain. He would filch away the credit due to others as patriots, and dress himself in borrowed plumes as a soldier. It has even been boldly asserted that in war he showed himself a coward, a liar, and a thief. On the. other hand, he has been extolled by authors holding no retainer as biographers, as a kind friend, a 1E; B 2 PETERBOROUGH CHAP. magnanimous enemy, an able diplomatist, a gifted­ orator, one of ~hose men of careless wit and negligent grace who scatter without troubling themselves to re­ claim a thousand witty sayings and verses, a bad econo­ mist for himself, a good and disinterested economist for the State, a general of brilliant invention, and of a courage which rose to the height of fabulous heroism, at once a sagacious and cautious strategist and an audacious moss-trooper. All air and fire, he is described as turning life into a wild romance; as one of the phenomena pro­ duced by Nature once in the revolution of centuries to show to ordinary men what she can do in a fit of prodigality. A bitter woman summed him up as a man who to vileness of soul had joined a sort of krught­ errantry. An enthusiastic admirer fondly pictured him ~s a hangdog he dearly loved, and the ramblingest lying rogue on earth. - Here-are a few specimens of invective and applause culled from a most abundant anthology. The object of the present sketch is to enable modern readers to pick and choose for themselves. Charles Mordaunt, Earl of Peterborough and Mon­ mputh, Viscount Mordaunt of Avalon, Baron Beauchamp and Mordaunt, was descended from a Norman family. It had allied itSelf with many other ancient and noble -houses; having the gift of attracting heiresses. In the early days of the Plantagenets it had acquired by marriage Turvey in Bedfordshire, where it received the licence of Edward the First to enclose a park. Its re­ presentative· was created Lord Mordaunt of Turvey in 1532. 'The splendid domain of Drayton in Northampton­ shire had come to him by marriage. The fourth Baron, a r HIS UNCLE 3 Roman Catholic, was imprisoned for alleged complicity in the Gunpowder Plot. His son, who turned Protest­ ant, married the only child and heiress of Lord Howard of Effingham, eldest son of the conqueror of the Spanish Armada. The marriage gave him the revenues of the Reigate Priory and other estates. Charles the First created him Earl of Peterborough in 1627; but for .some slight at Court he .embraced the cause of the Parliament, which he served as Master-General of the Ordnance. He died in 1642. His political opinions were not embraced by his two sons, Henry, second Earl of Peterborough, and John. Clarendon names both as engaged in Lord Holland's rising. of July, 1648, and as ho,ving accepted commissions from him. John's youth renders it probable that the statement should have been limited to the elder brother. Henry escaped to the Netherlands. Subsequently he was allowed to return and compound for his property. He owed the indulgence to the exertions of his wife, Lady Penelope O'Brien. After the Restoration, in 1662, when Portugal ceded Tangier, he was commissioned to receive the keys and was appointed governor. Generally, though he found leisure to assist in the .compilation of a learned family history, he was in close attendance upon Charles. He was the only courtier at hand when the King was struck down by his fatal fit. Con­ version to Catholicism had earned him the confidence of James also. As his trusted friend he negotiated the marriage with Mary of Modena. Throughout the short reign of James he enjoyed great influence, and was enabled to avenge himself at law for published sarcasms on his secession to Rome. He paid for his ascendancy 4 PETERBOROUGH CHAP. at the Revolution, when he was impeached and sent to the Tower. He was a fitter object of punishment for his subservience to power than of the s.cornful compaS.. sion ·Lord Macaulay extends to him as an old dotard. There is no evidence that the tried counsellor of Charles and James ever verged upon imbecility. His brother John, to whom Clarendon ascribes parts and great vigour of mind, nearly had his career cut short in 1658. Lord Ormond alarmed Cromwell by a visit' to London in that year to concert a Royalist insurrec­ tion. John Mordaunt was supposed to be a leading conspirator, 1md was brought before the Protector for examination. He denied all knowledge of Ormond's movements, but two days after corroborative testimony was obtained. He was arrested, with several others, and arraigned before a special court under the presidency of John Lisle. Like his brother, only still more signally, he was indebted to the love and energy of his bride, Elizabeth, co-heiress of Thomas Carey, younger son of the Earl of Monmouth. Clarendon describes her as a young and beautiful lady, of a very loyal spirit and · notable vivacity of wit and humour. Evelyn thought her the most virtuous lady in the world, a blessed creature, one that loved and feared God exemplarily, munificent and charitable. He relates, and she with more particularity has explained in her diary, how she spirited away a principal witness, and bribed several of the twenty judges. John was acquitted by the casting vote of Lisle, who acknowledged himself under many obligations to the prisoner's Parliamentarian mother, and "would not say he was guilty, but bade him ask his OWn conscience whether he were or not." He was I HIS FATHER 5 sent back to the Tower; but Cromwell, fearing the odium of a second trial for the same offence, finally per­ mitted him to go abroad. His narrow escape did not frighten hlm into repose. The register of Fulham Church boasts that he was np in arms for the King the next year, and was declared a traitor by the Rump Parliament. Towards the end of June, 1659, he had come secretly over from Brussels and took part in a futile nsmg. He hid in London. On the return, however, of the expelled members of the House of Commons he emerged and was exceedingly active. Some conspicuous politicians and officers, for instance Ingoldsby and Huntington, were brought over bJJ: hlm to the Royalist side. According to Clarendon, whom Evelyn corro­ borates, he was known to be entirely trusted by the King. He was created by patent on July lOth, 1659, Baron Mordaunt of Reigate and Viscount Mordaunt of Avalon. Sir John Grenville and he conveyed messages between Charles at Brussels and Monk, the House of Cqmmons, and the City of London. For a letter from Charles, of which they were the bearers, they were voted by the Corporation a gift of £300 to buy each of them a ring. It was Mordaunt who introduced Monk to Charles at Canterbury on May 26th. His devotion was rewarded by an amount of royal favour whlch, though in 'Clarendon's estimation inferior to hls merits, brought upon him the especial jealousy and spite of less fortunate Cavaliers. He was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey and Constable of Windsor Castle. For his conduct in the latter capacity towards a Captain William Taylor, or Tayleur, he narrowly escaped impeachment by the House of Commons in 1666-67. Taylor had an office and 6 PETERBOROUGH CHAP. rooms in Windsor Castle. The Constable ejected and imprisoned him. Taylor alleged that his crime was the resistance of a daughter to the Constable's gross violence. The House of Commons discussed the matter passion­ ately, but a prorogation interrupted the proceedings, and through the King's influence, as was supposed, they were not resumed. If, as .Andrew Marvell took for granted and Pepys inclined to believe, he were guilty, he otherwise bore for his age an honourable reputation. His contemporaries saw no absurdity in the sumptuous monument in Fulham Church, with which his sorrowing widow honoured his memory. He was the father of Charles Mordaunt. The history of the house indicates a continuous determination not to be obscure, a clear conviction that the Mordaunts had inherited a prerogative to conduct affairs of State, not without the attendant emoluments, and an acquiescence of successive generations in their right.

  • Stoic Enlightenments
    Copyright © 2011 Margaret Felice Wald All rights reserved STOIC ENLIGHTENMENTS By MARGARET FELICE WALD A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in English written under the direction of Michael McKeon and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Stoic Enlightenments By MARGARET FELICE WALD Dissertation Director: Michael McKeon Stoic ideals infused seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thought, not only in the figure of the ascetic sage who grins and bears all, but also in a myriad of other constructions, shaping the way the period imagined ethical, political, linguistic, epistemological, and social reform. My dissertation examines the literary manifestation of Stoicism’s legacy, in particular regarding the institution and danger of autonomy, the foundation and limitation of virtue, the nature of the passions, the difference between good and evil, and the referentiality of language. Alongside the standard satirical responses to the ancient creed’s rigor and rationalism, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century poetry, drama, and prose developed Stoic formulations that made the most demanding of philosophical ideals tenable within the framework of common experience. Instead of serving as hallmarks for hypocrisy, the literary stoics I investigate uphold a brand of stoicism fit for the post-regicidal, post- Protestant Reformation, post-scientific revolutionary world. My project reveals how writers used Stoicism to determine the viability of philosophical precept and establish ways of compensating for human fallibility. The ambivalent status of the Stoic sage, staged and restaged in countless texts, exemplified the period’s anxiety about measuring up to its ideals, its efforts to discover the plenitude of ii natural laws and to live by them.

  • A Treasure of Christian Devotion’: the Book of Common Prayer and Domestic Piety in Georgian England
    ‘A TREASURE OF CHRISTIAN DEVOTION’: THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER AND DOMESTIC PIETY IN GEORGIAN ENGLAND Andrew Braddock Introduction Georgian England saw the golden age of The Book of Common Prayer. In the words of Jeremy Gregory, this was a period during which the Prayer Book ‘shaped English religious and social life in ways which it had not done before and has not done since’.1 Far more than simply a book of services, its familiar words marked key moments in people’s lives as they brought their children to be baptised, exchanged their marriage vows, or buried their dead. The Prayer Book was the touchstone of the Church’s doctrine and, in its Catechism, provided instruction in the Christian faith. It offered spiritual counsel for the sick, the penitent and the dying, and through its prayers and rubrics reminded the whole community of their duties to God and one other. In addition, as Jonathan Clark seminal work English Society 1660-1832 highlighted, the close relationship between the monarchy, the aristocracy and the Church of England meant that the political establishment was an Anglican establishment in which fidelity to the Prayer Book was presented as a mark of political as well as religious loyalty.2 In exploring this period, historians have, unsurprisingly, been drawn to examining the Prayer Book’s defining role in public worship and to exploring the lively debates that surrounded eighteenth-century proposals for its revision.3 By contrast, far less attention has been given to the role of the Prayer Book in domestic devotion. A number of historians, including Norman Sykes, Charles Smyth, William Jacob, Jeremy Gregory, and William Gibson, have highlighted its use for family prayers.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • The Preces Privatae of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester
    THE PRECES PRIVATAE OF LANCELOT ANDREWES BISHOP OF WINCHESTER TRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY F. E. BRIGHTMAN, M.A. FELLOW OF S. MAKY MAGDALEN COLLEGE, OXFORD CANON OF LINCOLN METHUEN & CO. 36 ESSEX STREET W.C. LONDON 1903 30857 PREFACE A DESCRIPTION of the character of the present volume will perhaps at the same time serve as an excuse for a new version of an old and famous book. 1. The text which has been translated is that of the Oxford edition of 1675, corrected and supplemented by the MSS., especially the Laudian MS., which contains a considerable mass of Hebrew matter that was not represented in the edition of 1675, an<^ *he Harleian MS., the contents of which are almost wholly outside the scope of the edition of 1675 and have never as a whole appeared in English. To this is added the matter recovered from Stokes Verus Christianus, which, while in many cases it represents only a preliminary form of what is contained in the other sources, yet includes some new passages, and throughout offers points of interest which seem worth preserving. The sources of 1 the text are indicated in detail on the inner margin. 2. In the translation the aim has been, where the original is drawn from the Septuagint or the Vulgate, to use the language of the Authorised Version and of the Psalter of the Book of Common Prayer, except in cases in which for any reason correction seemed necessary or desirable, or his Andrewes elsewhere supplies a corrected rendering of own.

Ingram From c.1660 to c1760 England is often characterized as a society undergoing an accelerating process of secularization, and by extension, modernization. This narrative of the period ignores the way many in England understood and explained the world around them; through the non-secular and providential language of divine intervention. This thesis argues that during this one hundred year period England underwent no process of secularization, and instead remained consistent in its commitment to the language of divine intervention. This thesis examines the way English clergymen used the language of divine intervention publicly, in order to illuminate the utility and substance of the language of divine intervention for a highly visible and influential segment of English society.

The cathedral was, and remains, one of Britain’s most important religious spaces, a place where various types of national drama have been played out, and a setting for significant acts of public commemoration and celebration. The enormous scale of the building meant that for most preachers, preaching at St. Paul’s was always an event, and never a matter of routine. This sense of “event” meant that sermons preached at St.

  • Index to the Captains Register of Lloyds of London
    Index to the Captains Registers of Lloyd’s of London: B (CLC/B/148/B/019/ MS18567) London Metropolitan Archives Introduction This document contains an alphabetical index to the Lloyds of London Captains registers which are held at London Metropolitan Archives (LMA). The Registers give details of the careers as captain and/or mate, on those vessels whose voyage details were transmitted to Lloyd's of London, of merchant sea captains who held British or British colonial master's certificates. By no means were all Captains British citizens. For further details please see LMA information leaflet 'Lloyd's of London "Captains Registers" and related sources', available from the LMA website. These indexes are for the series CLC/B/148/B/019/MS18567, covering the years 1869 (retrospective to 1851 for those masters and mates still sailing in 1869)-1911; captains still active after that date will be found in later series held at LMA which are not covered by these indexes. The indexes may also be consulted in LMA's Information Area. The indexes list captains by name, noting variants given, followed by date and place of birth, also noting variants. The certificate number, and its place and date of award, if known, are listed, with a note of changes in the number and the volume in which this first occurs. Not all this information is found in every volume: in some entries a captain may be known only by his initials, or his birthplace may be listed in a partial form. If information of this kind, such as date of birth, is not given in the indexes, it is not to be found in the original.
