Abstract During the period of Marian exile between 1554 and 1558. a nurnber of important English cler~grnenand statesmen fled to the Continent and took refuge in the CrnigrC; communities of Strassburg and Zurich. These two communities were imbued with the tradition of Zurich reform. which in cornpanson to "catholic" Lutheranism and "radical" Calvinism espoused moderate Protestant views. The Zurich reformers taught that diversity might exist among Protestants. that certain rites which were indifferent to salvation might be retained in churches. that parish ornarnents irnpeded the path to salvation, that a clerical hierarchy might exist out of practicality. and that the civil rnagistrate might govem the church. Well versed in these tenets the exiles from Strassburg and Zurich retumed to England in 1559 with hopeç that under Elizabeth 1 the English Church would again embrace the godly reformation that had flourished under her brother Edward VI. Between 1559 and 1563. they took proactive roles in defining the Elizabet han Church. helping to shape its governance. doctrine. liturgy. and discipline. During this time. correspondence continued between the former exiles and the leaders ofthe Zunch church, Heinrich Bullinser, Rudolph Gualter. and Peter Martyr Vermigli. who tried to advise and support their English fiends. These interactions set a precedent to the Zurich reforrners' involvement in controversial events which occurred in the Church of Ençland in the later- 1 560s and 1 570s. Because of their close relationship with the Zurich reformers, the former exiles from Strassburg and Zurich held medial. Erastian Protestant views. Thus. in 1559 they could explicitly support the Queen. her Council. and the House of Cornmons in their intention to re-establish royal suprernacy over the Church and to unite the nation under a unifom order of worship based on the Edwardian prayer book of 1552. These Former exiles included Francis Russell. earl of Bedford. an important member of Elizabeth's Privy Council. Sir Anthony Cooke, a Parliamentanan close to the levers of power. and several En~lishdivines. such as Richard Cox, Edmund Gnndal, John Jewel, Robert Home, John Parkhurst, and Edwin Sandys. Because of their explicit support of the Elizabethan religious settlement and their participation in important religious affairs during the Parliament of 1559. the clergymen within this group received a disproportionate number of episcopal seats. In these powemil positions they participated in the omaments controversy of 1559 to 1560, defences of the English Church between 1 559 and 1 562. and the Convocation of 1563. crucial events that shaped the Elizabethan Church in a manner reflectinç late-Edwardian and Zurich models of reform. Acknowledgernents 1 wish to acknowledge my personal debt to Professor Gerald W. Olsen of Nipissing University. who was a tme mentor to me through several years of my studies. 1 am grateful to Professor Paul C hristianson of Queen's University for enduring numerous sessions of seemingly endless questions and for his careful reading of a drafi version of this thesis.

Table of Contents Abstract Acknowledgernents Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Summary and Conclusion Bibliography Vi ta Chapter One Introduction and Literature Review "Oh Zurich! Zurich! how much oftener do I now think of thee than ever 1 thought of England when 1 was at Zurich!"' These panegyrical words. written in 1559 by the English divine John Jewel to his long-time mentor Peter Martyr, emphatically showed the persona1 gratitude that one of many English clergymen and statesmen felt toward Zurich. Whether in Zurich, Strassburg, or other émiRrt; comrnunities sharing the traditionqof~urich reform dunng the Marian exile between 1554 and 1558, these English Protestants worshipped freely, using with few changes the Book of Comrnorr Prayer established in England during Edward VI's reign. Upon the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558, they retumed to their native England, with hopes that under the new Queen, the English Church would again embrace the godly refonn which had flourished under Edward, and further the refonnation which had spread so pervasively through the Continent. Many exiles imbued with the traditions of Zurich retumed to take proactive rotes in defining the Elizabethan Settlement of religion. Between 1559 and 1563. they helped to establish and defend the govemance. doctrine. liturgy, and discipline of the newly reconstituted Church of England. Dunng this period. correspondence continued between the former exiles and the leaders of the Zurich church. ~nrisre-?Heinrich Bullinger.

This thesis attempts to examine the influence exerted by the leaders of the Zurich church and by those in England imbued with a tradition of Zurich reform on the Church of England between the Parliament of 1559 and the Convocation of 1563. By way of introduction, this chapter provides a survey of the historiography on this topic. As this chapter will show, the impact of the Zurich reforrnen on the early-Elizabethan Church of England has not been adequately descnbed by historians. 7 ïIe Zurich I&y?)rrn~edTradiimr il) iZzabe/hut1 Drg/atrd The suggestion that the leaders of the Zurich church influenced the early-Elizabethan Church is not new. It was made impiicitly by Bishop Gilbert Bumet in his Hisfory of the Refc)rrnc~fio?)@hr C'hwch of fi~g/a~,d( 1679- 7 14) and by John Strype in his Ai~ilalsojlhe Rcf«rmnfiotl(1 709-3 1 ). Bot h Bumet and Strype incorporated into t heir text and included in appendices various letten between the former Marian exiles and their friends in Zurich. While this correspondence was often printed and translated inaccurately. its inclusion made it manifestly clear that at least some influence was exerted by Bullinger, Gualter, and Martyr during the first decade and a half of Elizabeth's reign.-either Bumet nor Strype undenook to analyse in any detail the nature or extent of this influence. Possibly this was because the limited number of letten available for analysis made it appear at best negliçible and restticted to isolated events. In the last century. however, the publication by the Parker Society of the "Iniroduciion." Zurich l.errer.~.p. v. Zurich I.eflrr.sgreatly irnproved both the number of letters available for analysis and access to these usetLi sources. This collection included over two hundred letters, dating from late- 1 558 to the mid- 1 570s. written mostly by English statesmen and divines and the leaders of the Zurich church.' WhiIe historians have often used the wealth of information contained in this collection to show the opinions of various Englishmen on certain events conceming the early Elizabethan Church, few have directly considered the question of the Zurich reformers' influence upon their friends in England. Those who have made specialized studies, as the following bnef discussion will reveal, have concentrated their efforts on events after 1 563. The fim historian to specifically consider a Zunch influence on Elizabethan England was Frank Gully. In his thesis "The lnfluence of Heinrich Bullinger and the Tigurine Tradition upon the English

This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Driving Forces Behind Foxe's Book of Martyrs
    The Driving Forces Behind Foxe’s Book of Martyrs Thesis We assert that Foxe’s Book of Martyrs was published for these purposes: personal reasons, a tribute to Queen Elizabeth, and to gain support for the Protestant faith and belief. A Tribute to Queen Elizabeth In 1553, Foxe and his wife fled to Europe when Queen Mary took the throne of England.2 Some of Foxe’s friends that stayed in England were arrested and eventually burned. While in Europe, he became friends with other scholars who encouraged him to continue with his Book of Martyrs. Foxe returned to England in 1559 after Queen Elizabeth came to the throne because she seemed to be a more tolerant monarch than Queen Mary.2 Foxe published Foxe’s Book of Martyrs in Latin 1559 and was based largely off of history books and the deaths that could be found in them—in 1563 he published his first English edition. Foxe travelled John Foxe’s Background around England freely under the reign of Queen Elizabeth, gathering witness accounts, letters, and official records John Foxe was born in 1517 in Boston, Lincolnshire, England.
