Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Goodwin, Vol. 2: Sometime President of Magdalene College, Oxford Thomas, the eldest son of Richard and Catherine Goodwin, was born at Rollesby, a village in the eastern part of Norfolk, within a few miles of Yarmouth, on the 5th of October in the year 1600. The long and prosperous reign of Elizabeth was then drawing to its close, and a considerable number of her subjects, especially in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, were desirous of obtaining a more complete reformation of the Church than that which had been effected by her father or her brother. They cherished some hope that in the expected reign of a Scottish king, educated under Presbyterian discipline, they would see the English Church brought into closer relations and nearer resemblance to the Reformed Churches of Scotland and the Continent. In these expectations they were bitterly disappointed. The ecclesiastical rule of Elizabeth had been oppressive to them, that of the Stuarts became intolerable. James, on his accession, is reported to have said, ´Do I mak the judges? do I mak the bishops? then I mak the law and the gospel.´ The Puritans, ill-treated by James´s judges and bishops, were not disposed to regard with favour either his ´law or his gospel.´ Thus arose the long conflict between the Stuarts and the Puritans. During the reign of Elizabeth, several things contributed to the prevalence of Puritanism in the eastern counties. Many of the Protestants of the Netherlands who were driven from their country by the Duke of Alva settled in the nearest maritime counties of England, and brought their arts and manufactures to the city and neighbourhood of Norwich. Thoroughly imbued with Presbyterian principles, and holding them tenaciously as they had suffered for them severely, they became a source of frequent trouble to the bishops of that diocese.
