Clergy Sample Clauses

Clergy. 310 In debates over episcopacy Baxter, a crucial figure for the Puritan cause, initially supported the Ussher model of moderate episcopacy, but the critical element for moderate Presbyterians was that bishops should ordain and discipline with the consent, not just with the assistance, of their advising clergy. But as Michael Brydon has shown, on the other side of the fence limited episcopacy proved to be an unacceptable proposition to the resurgent triumphalist Church party, and he demonstrates how ‘Hooker rapidly became indispensable to the maintenance of the recently established status quo’. Even Hooker’s assertion that disputed practices were matters indifferent was conveniently forgotten as loyalists insisted that these ‘givens were defended by Hooker’.311 Negotiations having failed, for the ejected ministers the subsequent events were distressing in the extreme. A study by David J. Appleby has highlighted the neglect by historians of the post-Restoration Nonconformist literature by comparison with their enthusiasm for radical contributions during the ‘English Revolution’. In an attempt to rectify this imbalance, he has researched the ‘Bartholomean oeuvre’, and in particular the 308 Whiteman, ‘Restoration’, pp.52-55 309 Ussher, Reduction, passim 310 Ibid., pp.154-155 311 Brydon, Evolving Reputation, pp.94-95 abundant evidence provided by the farewell sermons of the ejected ministers, most of them preached in the few weeks between the passing of the Uniformity Act and their sequestration on St. Bartholomew’s day. Appleby maintains that ‘the Bartholomean oeuvre [or corpus] is central to the study of the Restoration religious settlement, providing a suitable entry point through which to explore the interaction between religion and politics’.312 Appleby’s input we shall be scrutinising.313 It is of note that few of the concerns we have identified appear to relate to concepts of theology, faith, ethics, or the religious way of life yet, in my view, the issues are inseparable. My argument will be that it was the power of religious ideas which was the foundation upon which these convictions about church government, ministerial legitimacy, liturgy, and ceremonial were built. Dogma was the driving force behind the applied ideals which were at the centre of the debates, and without the divergent doctrinal beliefs there would have been little incentive to divide on practicalities. This proposition I shall address as we examine the primary evidence. But, before we...
