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.

    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 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.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little of the Saxon church - perhaps a few stones - but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the river; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

  • INTRODUCTION Late in the Year 1553, at the Peak of a Distinguished
    INTRODUCTION Late in the year 1553, at the peak of a distinguished academic career, Peter Martyr Vermigli departed hastily from England en route to Stras- bourg and Zurich. The great Italian reformer had served for six years as Regius professor of divinity in the University of Oxford at the per- sonal invitation of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury. While at Oxford, Vermigli had participated in a critical disputation on the Eucharist, assisted Cranmer in the revision of the Book of Common Prayer (1552), and served on a royal commission for the reform of the canon law. Following the death of Edward VI, the course of the Reformation in England was suddenly reversed. During the ensuing persecution of Protestants under Queen Mary, numerous English scholars soon fol- lowed Vermigli to Strasbourg and thence to Zurich where they contin- ued to hear his lectures and to promote with him the cause of reli- gious reform throughout Europe. Several of these Marian exiles in Zurich were to become prominent players in the Elizabethan Settle- ment; among them were no less than six future bishops, a clutch of Privy Councillors, and some of the leading lights of humanist, classical scholarship in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Of twenty- three episcopal appointments made in the period 1559–1562,four- teen were returned Marian exiles.1 Among Elizabeth’s newly appointed bishops six had been Bullinger’s guests at Zurich: John Jewel of Salis- bury, Richard Cox of Ely, John Parkhurst of Norwich, Edwin Sandys of Worcester, James Pilkington of Durham, Robert Horne of Winchester.

  • Puritan Iconoclasm During the English Civil War
    Puritan Iconoclasm during the English Civil War Julie Spraggon THE BOYDELL PRESS STUDIES IN MODERN BRITISH RELIGIOUS HISTORY Volume 6 Puritan Iconoclasm during the English Civil War This work offers a detailed analysis of Puritan iconoclasm in England during the 1640s, looking at the reasons for the resurgence of image- breaking a hundred years after the break with Rome, and the extent of the phenomenon. Initially a reaction to the emphasis on ceremony and the ‘beauty of holiness’ under Archbishop Laud, the attack on ‘innovations’, such as communion rails, images and stained glass windows, developed into a major campaign driven forward by the Long Parliament as part of its religious reformation. Increasingly radical legislation targeted not just ‘new popery’, but pre-Reformation survivals and a wide range of objects (including some which had been acceptable to the Elizabethan and Jacobean Church). The book makes a detailed survey of parliament’s legislation against images, considering the question of how and how far this legislation was enforced generally, with specific case studies looking at the impact of the iconoclastic reformation in London, in the cathedrals and at the universities. Parallel to this official movement was an unofficial one undertaken by Parliamentary soldiers, whose violent destructiveness became notori- ous. The significance of this spontaneous action and the importance of the anti-Catholic and anti-episcopal feelings that it represented are also examined.

  • Relics of the Amorites’ Or ‘Things Indifferent’? Peter Martyr Vermigli’S Authority and the Threat of Schism in the Elizabethan Vestiarian Controversy*
    [RRR 6.3 (2004) 313-326] RRR (print) ISSN 1462-2459 RRR (online) ISSN 1743-1727 ‘RELICS OF THE AMORITES’ OR ‘THINGS INDIFFERENT’? PETER MARTYR VERMIGLI’S AUTHORITY AND THE THREAT OF SCHISM IN THE ELIZABETHAN VESTIARIAN CONTROVERSY* Torrance Kirby Faculty of Religious Studies, McGill University, 3520 University Street, Montreal, Canada PQ H3A2A7 [email protected] Abstract In the years following the enactment of the Elizabethan Settlement, the threat of schism loomed over the Church of England with respect to provisions governing uniformity of ecclesiastical dress. Were the traditional vestments and ornaments of worship ‘relics of the Amorites’ whose use was inconsistent with a truly Reformed ecclesiastical order? Or were they rather ‘adiaphora’ and therefore to be tolerated? Numerous appeals by both parties to the dispute were made to Peter Martyr Vermigli, now settled in Zurich, for his judgement of the matter. Although Vermigli’s authority was cited by both sides, he emerges a staunch defender of the Settlement. Consistent with his intervention of 1550 in John Hooper’s brief period of resistance to the Edwardine vestments rubric, Vermigli counselled conformity with careful nuance. Vermigli’s stance in the vestiarian controversy in turn raises important questions about the ‘Reformed’ identity of the Elizabethan Church.

  • The Reformation in Oxford : a Tentative Study
    The Reformation in Oxford : A Tentative Study BY JOHN REYNOLDS "THE Reformation in Oxford," declared the late Rev. J. M. Thompson, for many years Fellow of Magdalen College, " ended almost as soon as it began." 1 It is true that Thompson contrived to include the Reformation at Oxford in a couple of pages of a chapter dealing with the Counter-Reformation; and that he was not thinking of John Wyclif, Master of Balliol in the fourteenth century, or of the Lollards, as William Taylor and Peter Payne, successive Principals of St. Edmund Hall, any more than of the Cambridge bishops whose martyrdom at Oxford readily comes to mind in this connection. But even so it may be thought that this is an overstatement. Thompson pertinently points out that the Renaissance arrived in Oxford before the end of the fifteenth century. Grocyn of New College was teaching Greek, and Colet (who can no longer be regarded as a Magdalen man•) was planning his lectures on St. Paul. In 1510 Colet founded St. Paul's, the first humanist school in England, and in 1515 the first humanist college at Oxford, Corpus, was founded by Fox of Magdalen. The present Regius Professor of Modern History insists that it was the Reformers who were the heirs of these men. • In 1525 Wolsey, who had been bursar of Magdalen, established Cardinal College, afterwards Christ Church. Not until that year, Thompson asserts, did the Reformation reach Oxford, and then by infiltration from Cambridge. But this can only be regarded as a lecturer's lapse which, although his preface tells us that the proofs had been read by the present head of a well-known college, remained uncorrected.

  • Bishop John Jewel and the Catholicity of the Church of England, 1535-1599
    ‘Because Thy God Loves England’: Bishop John Jewel and the Catholicity of the Church of England, 1535-1599 Angela May Ranson Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of History October 2013 2 Abstract John Jewel (Bishop of Salisbury 1559-1571) became the champion of the Church of England mere months after the formation of the Elizabethan religious settlement. He preached a sermon at Paul’s Cross that challenged the Roman Church to prove that certain traditions had existed in the early church; a strategy that allowed him to portray the Church of England as the true inheritor of the apostolic church, due to its pure doctrine and right administration of the sacraments. This sermon started a decade of controversy, which influenced the development of demarcation lines between the Church of Rome and the Church of England. This thesis argues that Jewel’s work as a polemicist and apologist for the Church of England was a key factor in the development of a Protestant self-identity for the Church of England. Using a unique methodology and a vast knowledge of patristic and Biblical sources, Jewel re-defined the term ‘catholic’ in a way that enabled him to argue for the catholicity of the Church of England while still separating it from the Catholic Church. He gave the English Church authority and legitimacy by portraying it as both part of the true universal church, and yet distinctly English. Drawing on Jewel’s own works, as well as the works of the men who fought for and against him, this thesis demonstrates that Jewel made a significant contribution to the establishment of the Church of England as a national institution.
