DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from History of Religion in England From the Opening of the Long Parliament to 1850, Vol. 2 All ecclesiastical power in England having been long before snatched from royal hands, the death of Charles I. produced no effect upon the condition of the Church. The control of its political destinies had from the year 1641 rested with the House of Commons; and with the remnant of that assembly the control continued, when the kingdom became a Commonwealth in name as well as in fact. The Presbyterians, immediately after Pride's purge, lost their place in the government of this country, upon which the political Independents at once assumed supremacy in the State. Of the old ecclesiastical reformers who belonged to that party, and had made themselves conspicuous in the year 1641, the chief now remaining in power were Oliver Cromwell, Sir Henry Vane, Henry Marten, Oliver St. John, and Sir Arthur Haselrig; and these remarkable men all took their seats at the table of the new Council of State, being installed as members of it in the month of February, 1649. The other persons occupying places beside them were nothing more than satellites. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from History of Religion in England From the Opening of the Long Parliament to 1850, Vol. 6 The reign of George II. was of far more religious importance than is generally supposed. The settlement of 1688, with its attendant national liberties, though accepted generally after the death of Anne, was not finally and completely confirmed until the period on which we now enter. So long as the Stuart claims were unrelinquished, ecclesiastical, no less than political interests, remained really in a precarious condition. Had the rebellion of 1714 been successful, the Government of the country would have relapsed into a state like that which existed a quarter of a century before. Religous freedom would have depended on the Monarchs will, and would have been so shaped and controlled as to forward the designs of the Church of Rome. The same may be said of the rebellion of 1745. The old fires, not thoroughly stamped out, had continued to smoulder, until they burnt into a new and fiercer blaze, threatening an amount of mischief unapprehended at the passing moment. How near England was to a counter revolution, which would have overturned the work of William III., we shall see as we proceed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from History of Religion in England From the Opening of the Long Parliament to 1850, Vol. 8: Church of the First Half of the 19th Century; With a Postscript William IV. succeeded his brother on the 25th June, 1830; and it was a circumstance illustrative of changed times, as well as of the sovereign's character, that whereas at the coronation of George IV. the utmost ceremonial splendour was displayed, now, though a queen shared in the solemnity - and, in this respect, Westminster Abbey witnessed a revival of what had not occurred since the crowning of George III. - the coronation was shorn of its ancient glories, there being neither banquet nor the usual procession. Contemporary excitements account for this. Those who cannot look back over fifty years and recall the condition of England at that period, have no idea of what was going on. The unpopularity of the Wellington administration had just before reached its height. The declaration of the great chief that he would not listen to any proposal for parliamentary reform had agitated the country from the Land's End to John-o'-Groats, not to speak of the sister isle.
