Laud in Controversy. iog liberty which the Church allows. Here England, says Laud, stands boldly free and tolerant, where Rome is rigid and bitter. " She comes far short of the Church of Rome's severity, whose anathemas are not only for Thirty-nine Articles but for very many more — above one hundred in matter of doctrine — and that in many points as far remote from the foundation ; though to the far greater rack of men's consciences, they must all be made funda- mental, if that Church have once determined them : whereas the Church of England never declared that every one of her Articles are fundamental in the faith, for it is one thing to say No one of them is superstitious or erroneous ; and quite another to say Every one of them is fundamental, and that in every part of it, to all men's belief. Besides, the Church of England prescribes only to her own children, and by those Articles provides but for her own peaceable consent in those doctrines of truth. But the Church of Rome severely imposes her doctrine upon the whole world, under pain of damnation."* The positive Articles of the English Church claim all to be founded on Holy Scripture — -the negative to be refutation of doctrines not so founded. But how, says the Jesuit, do you know Scripture to be Scripture ? Laud will not answer "solely by the tradition of the Church," but rather — (i) the unanimous and constant witness of the Church ; (2) the internal light and testi- mony which Scripture gives to itself; (3) the testimony of the Holy Ghost in the souls of men ; (4) natural • lb. p Co. no Archbishop Laud Commemoration. reason considering the books. These together give evidence which may commend itself to any thoughtful and earnest enquirer. Reason, indeed, is the bulwark not the slave of religion. " For though I set the mys- teries of faith above reason, which is their proper place, yet I would have no man think they contradict reason or the principles thereof. No, sure : for reason by her own light can discover how firmly the principles of reli- gion are true ; but all the light she hath will never be able to find them false."* This question of evidence for the Scripture is argued at great length : and Hooker is cited and defended : and tradition is weighed, and the Roman claims for it all examined : yet Laud maintains his position, that the supremacy of the Bible rests upon cumulative not par- ticular proof. "The key that lets men into the Scriptures, even to this knowledge of them, that they are the Word of God, is the tradition of the Church : but when they are in, they hear Christ Himself immediately speaking in Scripture to the faithful ; and ' His sheep ' do not only 'hear' but know 'His voice.' "t Perhaps in few parts of his treatise is Laud more clear and trenchant and rational than he is here, or more strictly theological. Faith and reason have never perhaps more clearly had their claims vindicated and their limits admitted. The terseness of the language is the fit symbol of the accuracy and condensation of the thought. " Though the evidence of these supernatural truths, which Divinity teaches, appears not so manifest as that * lb. p. 89. f lb. p. 115. Laud in Controversy . 1 1 1 of the natural ; yet they are in themselves much more sure and infallible than they. For they proceed imme- diately from God Himself, that Heavenly Wisdom, which being the foundation of ours, must needs infinitely precede ours, both in nature and excellence. ' He that teacheth man knowledge shall not He know ? ' And therefore, though we reach not the order of their deduc- tions, nor can in this life come to the vision of them, yet we yield as full and firm assent, not only to the articles, but to all the things rightly deduced from them, as we do to the most evident principles of natural reason. This assent is called Faith ; and ' faith being of things not seen,' would quite lose its honour, nay itself, if it met with sufficient grounds in natural reason whereon to stay itself. For faith is a mixed act of the will and the understanding ; and the will inclines the understanding to yield full approbation to that whereof it sees not full proof. Not but that there is most full proof of them, but because the main grounds which prove them are concealed from our view and folded up in the unrevealed counsel of God ; God in Christ resolving to bring mankind to their last happiness by faith and not by knowledge, that so the weakest among men may have their way to blessedness open."* Miracles, he very clearly asserts, even our Lord's and the Apostles' miracles, are not in themselves and by themselves " evident and convincing proofs." And so the argument went on, till the Countess of Buckingham herself broached the question upon which * lb. pp. 1 18-120. 112 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. all depended — Would the Bishop grant the Roman Church to be the right Church ? On this his answer developes the chief points on which his own position as an English Churchman was based, and which he repeated in his history written in the Tower, as the only grounds on which the English Church can justify her separation from Rome. There were errors in faith into which Rome had fallen which made it necessary for the Church of England to reform itself. This she did without depart- ing from the Catholic Faith once for all delivered to the Saints. And she did not depart from the essential unity of which that faith is the bond, or from the Apostolic discipline and ministry which preserve it. Thus Rome is a true Church, though erring — yet not the true Church. England also is a true Church. Errors there were in the Reformers, as there were in the Popes: and the work of Reformation is admittedly a most difficult one. And yet through it all the essence has been preserved, and the English protest against nothing but the errors of the Roman Communion. The Jesuit on the other side repeats the claim of the infallibility based on the Rock of Peter : and Laud denies that the rock was Peter's person, and asserts that it was his faith.* So the English separation is not from the " General Church," but from the Church of Rome — and " even here the Protestants have not left the Church of Rome in her essence but in her errors ; not in the things that constitute a Church, but only in * lb. p. 257. Laud in Controversy. such abuses and corruptions as work toward the dissolution of a Church." And who is to be the judge ? A general council : it is Laud's appeal, and that of the whole English Church since the Reformation. And where that cannot be had we fall back on the Holy Scriptures : for the Council of Trent had no general assent of the Catholic Church, and the claim of the Pope to continuous supremacy is contrary to historical fact. The Church in general cannot err in a fundamental point, having the perpetual presence of Christ. A particular Church can err and particular Churches have erred. General councils may err, as that of Constance" erred when it ordered that the Holy Eucharist should be received by laymen only under one kind, and made this rule " a law which may not be refused : " and such judgments, being contrary to the command of Christ, may be reversed. So again the debate turns back upon the Pope's infallibility : and Laud declares that the doctrine of intention alone as defined by the Council of Trent refutes the claim. For he cannot be infallible unless he be Pope, and the intention of conferring the Sacraments by which he has received his spiritual powers and privileges cannot be proved. We have been recalled to this argument lately: "let us not forget," says the Abbe Duchesne, " that part of the French clergy derive their orders from M. de Talleyrand." From this he comes to the errors that he saw in the practice of the Roman Church of his own day in * lb. p. 288. H4 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. the common teaching of Transubstantiation, of com- munion in one kind, of invocation of saints, of adoration of images — errors all of them practical, but not all to be found in the avowed teaching of the Roman Church. As the debate narrows, the Jesuit turns from particulars, which are hard to defend, to a general assertion which appeals powerfully to the timid. " You admit," he says, in effect, " that we may be saved : are you not safer therefore with us, as we deny there is salvation in your Church ? " " This will not hold," replies Laud : " on this ground, indeed, you should accept the Anglican doctrine of the Eucharist, for you only add the ' manner ' of that Presence which we admit to be Real. For we admit the salvation of Romanists as individuals not as members of the Roman Communion — that is, as they believe the Creed and hold the foundation Christ Himself, not as they associate themselves willingly and knowingly to the gross superstitions of the Romish Church." Thus obstinate teachers of false doctrine are without excuse, though their sincere and simple followers may be in a state of salvation. And so finally we return to the confidence which may be reposed in the English Church. " To believe the Scripture and the Creeds, to believe these in the sense of the ancient primitive Church, to receive the four great General Councils, to believe all points of doctrine generally received as fundamental in the Church of Christ, is a faith in which to live and die cannot but give salvation." 11 ' * lb. p. 361. Laud in Controversy. "5 More there is to be said — an assertion that the English Church truly holds the Catholic doctrines of Baptism, of the Real Presence and the Sacrifice in the Eucharist— (of this I have spoken in my book upon Laud:* and I do not wish to repeat here what I have said before) — but all returns to the same climax. Rome is not infallible, and England holds to the firm faith of Christ. It is a remarkable and courageous assertion — not I believe to be ranked above that of the detailed contro- versialists of the English Church — but extraordinarily bold, clear, uncompromising and vital, in its treatment of the real questions at issue between England and Rome. Laud, whatever may be said about details of his book — and those, to my mind, are on the whole marvellously accurate and appropriate — did unquestion- ably go to the root of the matter : and it is upon the lines on which he treated it that the controversy, so long as it continues, and until God in His own good time gives us union, must be pursued. Remarkable as is the evidence which this book affords to the clearness and the prescience of Laud's mind, there is in it, perhaps, a still greater claim on the respect and gratitude of Christians. It contains a plea, large and liberal indeed for the times, for toleration and mercy and an avoidance of that " cursing spirit " which Hammond, Laud's true disciple, so strongly condemned. " The Church of England never declared that every one of her Articles are fundamental," and " I will never take 'William Laud (Methuen & Co.), pp. 150-151, 237-238. 12 n6 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. it upon me to express that tenet or opinion, the denial of the foundation only excepted, which may shut any Christian, even the meanest, out of heaven."* Laud in this, as in his Catholicism, expressed, I have no doubt, the true mind of the English Church. This, strictly speaking, is all we can say of Laud in controversy. In these speeches and in these argu- ments alone was he concerned. He entered into controversy swiftly and decisively, but rarely. He was not a controversialist, though he left memorials of his work in that field of which any controversialist might be proud. Such was his public work in controversy. In private, so far as we can judge, we find him patient yet eager in personal efforts to deal with individual cases. Chilling worth was largely his convert from Romanism. Hales he won to a ready concurrence with his views. They spoke long and sharply in the Lambeth garden, walking up and down in argument, Heylin tells us, till they were ruddy of countenance and short of breath, but coming at length to a perfect agreement. The State Papers contain many records of personal interviews. Dr. Yonge for instance, writing to Laud in 1631, says he himself is witness of the Bishop's patient forbearance with those who objected to conform, " giving them time to consult conformable ministers and vouchsafing to confer with them himself." Much of his time, already greatly trespassed on by busybodies, was given, I think there can be little doubt, to conference with clergy in * lb. p. 402. Laud in Controversy. 117 that fatherly counsel which belongs to the episcopal office. Such instances of his general action as we have, show him, in controversy, in a kindly light. Hasty no doubt he was when he was busy and hurried ; but he had a genuine readiness to minister to the consciences and to resolve the doubts of all those who came to him in their troubles. Laud, I have said, was not strictly speaking a con- troversialist himself : but it might be said that he had an army of controversialists under him. Cosin, Jeremy Taylor, Widdowes, Heylin, Hall, Mountague ; — there are many more names — indeed his own chaplains and the leading ecclesiastics of the day were chivalrous in their readiness to defend the Archbishop's policy and principles. Jeremy Taylor's " Episcopacy Asserted " is a famous defence of the Divine order of Bishops. Giles Widdowes's " The Lawless, Kneeless, Schismatical Puritan," is a sharp popular defence of Church reverence, of such practices (strange that they should need defence) as taking off the hat in Church. Prynne answered it, we remember, in " Lame Giles his baitings," a poor bit of railing. Mountague brought popular writing on Church principles to perfection, and was unremitting in his attacks on the " Romish Rangers " who tried to steal the hearts of his flock, and in his assertion of the firm hold of the English Church on Catholic doctrine. His anti-Roman theses might have been of Laud's own making — certainly they had Laud's warmest approval. He asserted " that the present Roman Church is neither 1 1 8 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. the Catholic Church nor a sound branch of the Catholic Church : that the present English Church is a sound member of the Catholic Church : and that none of the points which the former maintains against the latter was the perpetual doctrine of the Catholic Church .... or the dogmatical resolution of any one father for 500 years after Christ." And his "New Gag for an Old Goose " was just the kind of writing, on his own side, to which Laud had been accustomed in his youth. Buckingham and Laud stood firmly by the side of Mountague when he was attacked, and it was Laud who consecrated him Bishop of Chichester, on the very day when the news came of Buckingham's assassination. Till Mountague's death, in 1641, Laud and he were closely associated — and Mountague's English pamphlets, witty and popular, must have greatly assisted in making clear to the people the anti-Papist and anti-Puritan position which the next generation so cordially accepted. Another man whom Laud influenced was the gentle, tolerant, learned Hammond, who did so much for the Church during the period of its suppression. Hammond was scarcely a controversalist, but from him proceeded one of the best and noblest statements of the Church's tolerance, as opposed to Puritan fanaticism, that these troubled times brought forth. Such names as Andrewes, his forerunner in con- troversy, from whom, there can be no question, he derived something of the force of his own position — as Jeremy Taylor, and Hammond —in their close con- nection with the great Archbishop, show the sympathy Laud in Controversy. 119 between his character and all that was best in the English theology of his day. His known opinion, his sturdy belief in the English Church, in its prayer book and its historic order, his knowledge of the fathers and councils, reacted upon the Church of which he was so prominent a member. Thus, whatever his direct influence in controversy, his indirect influence on thought profoundly affected the English Church. He saw clearly that there was before the men of his day the momentous choice between a new reforma- tion and an adherence to the historic past. The Puritans, we must never forget, would not be content to stand in the old paths : they were determined to advance, and bring the English Church to the Genevan model. It was this that Laud, in controversy and in the influence of his opinions and of his life, prevented : and it is for this that we honour him. He was, says Mr. Gladstone, the most tolerant Archbishop of Canterbury for many generations : more than this, he was the man who prevented the English Church from being bound in the fetters of an iron system of compul- sory and Calvinistic belief. His work in controversy was a protest for the true " undenominationalism," the Catholic simplicity of the Creed. He saw and asserted, as the English Church asserts, that the Catholic Faith is faith in God, and centres in a Person, and that the significance of all things lies in their nearness to or remoteness from that centre. The Catholic Faith gives us a dogmatic theology which is concerned primarily with God, not i2o Archbishop Laud Commemoration. with invocation of saints, or purgatory, or justification, or inspiration : it does not give us, Laud says, a centralised authority with power to elevate any doctrine outside the Creed to a primary position. If you grant the Roman position, faith becomes merely belief in the assertions of a spiritual permanent oracle, through which each proposition becomes of equal importance and equal certainty. There are no degrees in faith, says the Romanist, it is all or none — to deny a detail is to betray the whole position. Thus it becomes logical and natural for a scholar to renounce Christianity because he cannot accept the authorship of Daniel. This absolute want of the sense of proportion is the real bar to Catholic unity. Rome will not reunite, except on the condition of the accept- ance of so remote and dubious a deduction as the inherited privilege of S. Peter : the sectarian will not reunite except on the acceptance of his theories as to justification or the like. This is not the Catholic freedom. And the Catholic freedom was what Laud fought for. The Catholic Faith is this — that we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity : and from that centre there gradually shade off the nearer and the remoter beliefs which we hold and cherish only in pro- portion to their nearness to the central Truth. Because he saw this and fought for it it is that I venture to say that we reverence Laud because he preserved to the English Church both her Catholicity and her freedom. V. LAUD'S PERSONAL RELIGION. The Rev. C. H. Simpkinson, M.A., Rector of Farnham, and Examining Chaplain to the Lord Bishop of Winchester. LAUD'S PERSONAL RELIGION. The subject allotted to me is Laud's personal religion ; and the only measuring rods I can find of personal religion are a consciousness of the presence of God, a self-consecration to the service of God, and a constant delight in intercourse with God. Such a condition may be indicated by what a man says ; it can be proved only by what he does. Therefore, we must examine how far this man's actions were governed by an appreciation of the guiding presence of God. Was Laud sincere ? Had he high aims ? Was he devout ? Such an examination it appears, from the common talk about him, is by no means unnecessary. The personal religious character of the Archbishop has not escaped from that recklessly thrown mass of dirt with which the literary Street Arabs of to-day delight to besmirch any character, dead or living, whom they think- to be unpopular with their readers : and the influential group of writers, who dislike religion and do not wish to admit the conspicuous parts which religious leaders have played in the progress of their country, have not scrupled to sneer and smile sardonically over a personal holiness which ought to be the treasured possession of every Christian and every Englishman. The political agencies and alliances which Laud employed for his religious work have been proved by experience to have beeri 124 Archbishop Land Commemoration. unwise. None the less, he remains the Reformer par excellence of his own day, the Chief Advocate of the Working Classes, the Defender of the Poor, the Leader of the Educational Movement, an Administrator who endeavoured to exterminate the corruptions in the Civil Service, and an Ecclesiastic who proposed to widen the boundaries of the English Church. Why then is he savagely maligned as a reactionary and an enemy to pure Christianity by the people who profess themselves (and I think honestly believe them- selves) to be advocating the very same cause for which he died on the scaffold ; the cause of the Poor and the Weak, the cause of Jesus Christ ? Well, it is the penalty and the proof of greatness to be hated for centuries. No one troubles to find fault with Judas of Galilee or Theudas, but to discover an error in St. Paul or St. Peter is still worth the while of the slanderer who burrows to undermine faith. It is my impression that the force of the angry wave is spent. The sober classes of Englishmen begin to do justice to a great Religious Statesman, without shutting their eyes to his very serious mistakes. Therefore to-day I ask you to allow my omission of eulogistic preferences of Laud above other notable ecclesiastics and saintly teachers of other generations ; such as invite revolt by their claim to an impossible knowledge. The muse of history shows a man in his own time, and teaches us that human ignorance can never picture him justly in the seat of other men. I find no measure by which I can pronounce him wiser than his Laud's Personal Religion. predecessors, greater than his successors, noblest of martyrs and holiest of saints ; great and good though he was. But we will try Laud's personal religion by three tests. We will consider first what was the. inspiration of his life. We will next examine how far his character remained Christian amid the soft flatteries and silken luxuries of success. Finally, we will enquire how well he faced the uses of adversity, which convert the noble nature into a saint, or degrade the mean and base into a slave. Never was man more thoroughly tested, for never did stranger vicissitudes of fortune fall to human lot. And first, the sense of a great purpose in this man's life appears to have been common to friends and foes. As a young Tutor of St. John's, preachers in the Oxford Pulpit, writers from Cambridge Colleges, thought him important enough to be personally assailed. Archbishop Abbot and Lord Keeper Williams declared him the most dangerous leader in England. While still only a junior Bishop he was attacked by name in the speeches of the Leaders of the House of Commons. On the other side the shrewd Bishop Neile marked him for promotion at the lowest point of his fortunes ; Nicholas Ferrar turned naturally to him for ordination and counsel before beginning his work at Little Gidding ; his was the chosen influence to con- strain George Herbert to go to Bemerton. Rome, Germany, the East, canvassed his character and imagined his intentions. 126 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. All the onlookers in that age of heroes admitted that it was no mere accidental upcast of the whirlpool of society which placed William Laud swiftly upon the crest of the wave and gave him the highest place in the nation. They might have been, they were puzzled as to what the aim of his life was ; they might form false guesses ; they might (many serious minds hold the same opinion to this day quite honestly), they might consider that his purpose was a bad one. But even Hamilton, the timeserver, his most bitter rival, believed him ready enough to die for what he considered God's will ; and no one who knew him questioned his resolve ; and certainly he believed in himself, since for years his own letters show him to us expecting death at every moment of dejection as the reward of his diligence, and yet setting his face like a flint to that work which he was convinced had somehow to be done before he might rest and be with Christ. And this purpose of his life was the shaping of a great religious system which should train souls for heaven, by securing for them the best environment, social and spiritual. An eminently practical man was William Laud. Not the victory of any dearly favoured dogma; certainly not the predominance of any special set of theological opinions was his object. If he had been alive to-day he would probably be the special leader of no particular party, but the head and champion of all. And the enquirer who studies his works to discover " his views " goes away grievously dissatisfied. What he wanted, what he was convinced his countrymen Laud's Personal Religion. 127 wanted, was a system of spiritual training, varied for varying characters, and moulded to changing circum- stances, which should make them more like Christ on earth and ready to be with Christ in heaven. God had brought him back for this from the almost fatal peril of an early sickness. God had formed him for this by the remarkable influences which He had placed round him through his days of childhood and youth : God would use him for this so long as he was wanted ; and when he had ceased to be the necessary instrument, others doubtless would be found to take up the task. I omit to-day his wide-reaching social efforts ; but I venture to think that it is not foreign to the subject of Laud's personal religion, to bring before you very con- cisely the methods which he, as the chief religious Teacher of the day, adopted to give personal religion to others. A man's religion is always best judged by his actions, and the teacher teaches what he himself loves. These methods we will summarise from the Instructions sent out in 1629, adding detail from other arrangements of the Archbishop. First, he insisted on securing for the people Instruction in the elements of the moral and spiritual life. Laud's religion, as I have pointed out, was essentially practical, and he saw that the old Romanism with all its superstition and its deliberate encouragement of ignorance, had yet brought before the people many of the simple facts of our salvation, with a clearness and distinctness which was missing from the involved elaborate Puritan Sermons. Jesus Christ must be set forth, the facts of His life and death and Resur- 128 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. rection, what He told His followers to do, what He taught them was wrong, and what He taught them was right, how to pray, what to ask for, and what to tell to God. The Clergy must train their flocks to religious habits, they must talk to them about every-day matters. Nothing was so insignificant as not to need the hallowing of Religion. " Whether ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." We are informed in. the sermons of Bishop Andrewes how careless professing Christians had become about prayer and worship in those days. They listened to sermons. They wanted to hear the last new thing. They loved doctrinal discussion. But to Laud a regular system of public and private prayer seemed as necessary for the soul as regular meals for the body. Congregations were to be instructed that if they did not worship, they could not come to the Sermons. Preachers were first to be " bedesmen for the flock" before they became their teachers. Worship was to be made as bright and as congregational as possible. For this he encouraged the frequent publication of new hymns and tunes. And obviously all these devotional exercises culminated in the Holy Communion. Then worshippers came into the very awful presence of God Himself. Laud did not wish to be very rigid in his own definitions, he certainly did not desire to make his own feelings about the Eucharist the only standard in the English Church. But to treat the Holy Communion as a vague Commemoration was to him to misunderstand Laud's Personal Religion. 129 the teaching of the Saviour Himself. Then Christ im- parted to the believer His own Body and Blood. The doctrinal Puritan, who sat or stood as if he were eating a meal in his own house, shocked him as irreverent, as ignorant of that mysterious presence of God for which he had come. And because Laud's religion was so personal, so conscious of the nearness of God, so in- tensely full of the Divine intimacy, this standing he dared not, as the Chief Pastor of the Diocese, allow for a moment, lest the recalcitrants should imperil their own soul's health. If they would not kneel, they should not receive. They might stay in their seats, and there kneel to receive ; this he disliked, but permitted. But at kneeling his toleration (mark the word) drew the line. One of the Archbishop's numerous Communion Prayers expresses this position so exactly that I will venture to quote it. It is unlike the others in being doctrinal : " O Lord God, hear my prayers, I come to Thee in a steadfast faith, yet for the clearness of my faith, Lord, enlighten it : for the strength of my faith, Lord, increase it. And behold I quarrel not the words of Thy Son my Saviour's blessed Institution. I know His words are no gross unnatural conceit, but they are spirit and life and supernatural. While the world disputes, I believe. He hath promised me if I come worthily, that I shall receive His most blessed Body and Blood, with all the benefits of His passion. If I can receive it and retain it (Lord, make me able, make me worthy) I know I can no more K 130 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. die eternally, than that Body and Blood can die and be shed again.'" And after reception he was wont to pray : " Lord, I have received this Sacrament of the Body and Blood of my dear Saviour. His mercy hath given it and my faith received it into my soul. I humbly beseech Thee speak mercy and peace to my conscience, and enrich me with all those graces which come from that precious Body and Blood, even till I be possessed of eternal life in Christ. Amen." A man with a mission. So the great ecclesiastic stood before himself. " O Lord, I beseech thee," so he was wont to pray, " make me remember how much more than other men I have need to call upon Thee. My charge is great and my strength little." And to have a conscious mission is the first consecration of every life. Now and then to the poor erring judgment of humanity the mission may look small or narrow, the care of some single hard-tried life, the charge of a handful of children, the conversion of a little street or dark alley ; then again it appears magnificent when a great statesman builds up a nation or shapes an empire, or a prophet proclaims some new doctrine, or a priest models a Church. But small or great, the man or woman with a mission is the interesting figure in history or society; there is a halo round each, wherever you meet them, which marks them off from the ordinary flotsam and jetsam of mankind ; God has touched their souls, there is in them a spark of the Divine fire. They may frighten us. They may even repel us. But we must admire. This Laud's Personal Religion. it is which, not to go beyond those same times, keeps our eyes fixed upon Oliver Cromwell, with all his eccen- tricities and his inconsistencies, combining projects of personal ambition and domestic tyranny and foreign conquest with the passionate desire to make his country great. This it is which compels us to pause and look after Harry Vane, so stiff and rigid, so unlovable with all his accomplishments, dipping his hands with so per- verted a conscience conscientiously into the blood of the noblest of his fellow-countrymen, but intent on the creation of a religious monarchy and dying so beautifully for its sake. This it is which makes even the gloomy Harrison interesting, and poor cowardly Argyle con- spicuous. And this it is which marks off William Laud above all the famous ecclesiastics of that grand age, the saintly Andrewes, the politic Williams, the industrious Harsnet, the devout Cosin, the eloquent Calamy, the affectionate Baxter, as the one greatest man among them all, who had something to do and who did it, and who sealed it gladly with his blood, leaving a work behind him (which has lasted already 250 years) — our beloved Church of England, Apostolic and liberal, devout and full of missionary zeal, national in organisation, and oecumenical in sympathy ; so cautious to preserve all the ornaments which the long struggles of history have won, yet boldly stripping off the chains of that strange Roman slavery which, for a time, seemed even to great and good minds the necessary condition for success. This consciousness of a great mission is then the first religious characteristic of William Laud. You K2 132 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. see it in his letters and in his Diary. You see it in his speeches. You see it in that dream which he chronicles for Sept. 1625, which reminded him that he belonged to God, and not to the World, yet had a work to do at the Court. You see it most curiously distinct of all in the record he has left of his own defence of himself, with its clever arguments about legality, and its playful touches of sarcasm as he looks round upon a world turned so strangely upside down where a man has come to be treated as a saint because he is a slanderer, and it is considered a proof of devotion to have been disgustingly irreverent in God's House, and Judges no longer think it worth while to listen to the defence of of a prisoner condemned before he has been heard, and Members of Parliament go away to dinner till they are wanted to vote off a fellow-creature's head. Amid all this confused bustle now and again the mighty purpose breaks out in an indignant vindication of some act of mercy, or of some plan to increase the honour of God's name. The mission was too great to make him proud. It drove him to his knees. The mission was not an idea of his own. It was God Who set him to it. " Gracious Father," he prayed, " the life of a man is a burden upon earth, and the dangers which assault us are diversely pointed against us." The mission did not depend on him, he had but to do his utmost, then God if it pleased Him would give the increase. But he might not take back his hand. Lonely, without family and with few relations ; compelled by his separation for Laud's Personal Religion. r 33 the great purpose to be simple and ascetic ; obliged to work every hour of the day ; with no amusement and no relaxation, having no time to hunt like Abbot, or to study like Andrewes, the man with the mission must roll his Sisyphusdike stone to the hilltop, doubtful whether it will become the foundation of a magnificent structure, or totter back and crush and mangle him in its swift descent into the valley of desolation. Very weary, very painful, were those years at Lambeth, yet always cheered and always rendered happy by the intimate communion with our Saviour which is given to the men with missions ; each day marked off into short spaces by the delightful milestones of constant prayers, by the few minutes given seven times a day at least to the society of God, and now and again gladdened by some splendid vision such as that set down in his diary for no human eye, " My dream of my blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, one of the most comfortable passages that ever I had in my life." " O come hither and hearken all ye that fear God and I will tell what He hath done for my soul," is the open- ing sentence of his Devotions. Bi;t the man with a religious mission carries with him a load additional to the burdens set upon the backs of ordinary mortals. Being brought into close and constant contact with God Himself, and at the same time compelled to mingle intimately with the world, he feels a peculiar consciousness of sin. Some people call that horror of sin, that dejection which would despair if God were not so near, morbid and even unchristian. It marks Augustine, it marks Francis of Assisi, it is *34 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. conspicuous in Loyola and in Luther, in Bunyan and Teresa of Spain, it is characteristic of St. Paul and of St. John. Some hasty fault, some ill-considered act of impulse which men of less enlightened conscience quickly and comfortably forgive themselves, becomes to these men with missions the sorrow of a lifetime. Need I remind you that two such sins lay upon Laud always, never forgotten, unutterably irksome. A secret penitent this for some forty years, not omitting to keep the feast of St. Stephen and the 28th of July as days to be passed in an agony of repentance for long-distant sins. None knew the horror of that sad self-reproach till the little Diary with its few bare notes of things great and small, which for some reason the Archbishop wished to recollect, together with his Book of Devotions, was torn away from him by his enemies. Then there was published to the world his unsatisfied contrition for the two or three blots on his holiness of life, which all but himself ought by then to have forgotten, a foolish cause of momentary triumph to his enemies, in reality a proof of the man's genuine sincerity. His own words for St. Stephen's day will best set the penitence before you : — " Behold I have brought scandal upon Thy name, helping my own ambition and other people's sins." " How much better would it have been if I had remem- bered the name of this day and rather suffered martyrdom with Thy proto-martyr by refusing what my friends persuaded, either from treachery or from wickedness." " O Lord, how heavy still is the recollection of this sin after §0 many prayers have been so often repeated and Laud's Personal Religion. J 35 poured out before Thee by my sad and wretched soul." " Spare me, Lord, and forgive my sins." And constantly he repeated, " I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost ; O seek Thy servant that I may not forget Thy commandments, but return unto Thee." Such then was the purpose of this man's life ; such the means by which he kept always before his eyes the greatness of his vocation and his personal unworthiness to be the choice of God. Still we must not for a moment leave out of sight that four men, each in his own degree, influenced and modified his idea of the vocation wherewith he was called. We find Elisha as well as Elijah among the men with a mission, St. John as well as St. Paul. Buckeridge, Tutor of St. John's and afterwards Bishop of Rochester, took him to the old Fathers of the Church, gave him Ambrose and Basil, Cyprian and x4thanasius to be the models of his life. Launcelot Andrewes fired his ecclesiastical enthusiasm and guided his devotional piety. You have in this Exhibition the treasured copy of his Devotions which the elder man gave to the younger. George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, dazzled him with the vision of great schemes which that magnificent favourite's brilliant imagination could picture, but his fickle impatience could not achieve. Thomas Wentworth laboured with him at the effort to make England as well as Ireland happy and prosperous, educated and devout. But none of these gave him his ideals, for the grand model of his mission came direct to him in his prayers and his meditations. Buckeridge could show him how the dream 136 Archbishop Land Commemoration. had been turned into a reality ; Andrewes could guide him by intimacy with one of the most beautiful lives ever lived on earth. Laud never ceased to be Laud, learning but not following, assimilating but never imitating, from his first public appearance at Oxford, as a young Bachelor of Divinity, to that last glorious day when he walked briskly through the crowds from Tower Gate to Tower Hill to teach men how to die cheerfully and humbly for a great cause. But if the first principal effect of religion has been shown and has been accepted as truly present in the character of William Laud, and you (ladies and gentlemen) admit him, as I think you must, to have been a man of a great purpose, and deliberately con- secrated to the Divine Service, an important question straightway confronts us. Men with a mission, con- scious of a claim to have a special vocation from God, are unhappily often induced by power and opportunity to commit atrocious crimes in the name of religion. Paul IV. and Pius V., greatest among the 16th century Popes, intensely earnest, devoutly religious, convinced that God had given them the highest duty upon earth, were both merciless persecutors. They thought human life of no value if it thwarted their mission. Cromwell and Harrison did many terrible acts ; of which the massacre after the surrender of Drogheda is but a specimen. Vane began his career in England with a deliberate deed of treacherous cruelty, which turns most of us away sick and sad at the very threshold from any sympathetic study of a truly noble character. Religion was positively Laud's Personal Religion. !37 hated in England at the Restoration because of the evils sanctioned by its name. And Laud, shall we say, was like the rest of them, intolerant, bigoted, a persecutor ? He died bravely, it is true, so did others ; but he only took the lot which he had destined for his enemies. It was the chance of the throw. It was the sad necessity of the case. If this terrible theory were true — that power makes men with a religious mission invariably persecutors, we might truly tremble for the stability of our faith. But of course there is no sanction for it in the life of our Lord, and He has never been without genuine followers of His merciful teaching. In this matter Laud was certainly not perfect. Power to some extent blinded his eyes. But I do not think it would be an indefensible position to say that if we wished to produce a thoroughly sifted character who, under the most trying conditions, by constant prayer and humiliation, by the study of Jesus Christ and by stern self-examination, kept himself extraordinarily free from intolerance and bigotry and persecution, only just once and again, under the stress of temptation, pushing his exercise of power over the verge of Evangelical gentleness, we should bring forward William Laud. The long lists of the State Papers when they are searched, give no impression either of systematic perse- cution or of general dissatisfaction. They show us a small passionate skilful opposition, they bring before us a few individual cases of hard usage. But they prove a very different condition of government to that of the 138 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. great despot Elizabeth, or of the parliament - ruled administration of Charles II ; and the contrast of the Laudian mildness and general conciliation with the ille- galities and brutalities of the Protectorate, is certainly startling. And the strange argument about the un- popularity of the Church System as evidenced by the Great Rebellion falls to the ground when you remember that it was to Laud's pupils that the House of Commons willingly confided the re-organisation of the Church in 1660, and kept them in power for 60 years. The thumbscrews and scourges, the axes and gallows, which so many reckless writers always suggest in the dim background of Lambeth during the archiepiscopate of Laud, existed only in those dark recesses into which he cast them till the House of Commons and the Romanist Reactionaries dragged most of them out again. The irresistible point, the point still unanswered is this : through the years of his influence no life was destroyed for religion or for politics, and of how many such periods long before and even long after could this statement be sustained ; and of what other nation or country in his lifetime could such a fact be truthfully recorded ? Torture also disappeared during his rule, it is to be hoped for ever, from English legal history. Thus Laud took the first great stride towards that complete tolerance which, if it ever is to be seen on earth, has certainly not been fully comprehended by this nineteenth century; and wrote in clear letters on the pages of our history that whatever might be allowable in the conflict of opinion, for his opinions no man must Laud's Personal Religion. 139 suffer death. "Ink rather than blood" was his own playful saying about controversy. And this degree of tolerance in religion was almost unique in his own time. The so-called champions of liberty, Eliot and Pym, whose names ought not to be mentioned without reverence as honourable workers for progress, yet understood so little of freedom of conscience that they clamoured for the lives of Romish Priests, and persuaded the Commons to pass bloodthirsty resolutions against all who did not say their shibboleths on the impossible questions of Predestination and Election. If people must call names, here were the bigots. Here were the intolerant. Here were the persecutors. Not at Lam- beth, but at Westminster was sharpened that two-handed engine which smote its first stroke on the neck of Strafford, the author of the Petition of Right and the Benefactor of Ireland, and did not lie idle till after twenty-one years of constant bloodshed, it had smitten off the head of his destroyer, the high-souled Vane. For twenty years before, axe and stake and gibbet had played no part in the politics, civil and religious, of England. Let Laud's detractors prove this false before they mutter about the Inquisition and compare the Archbishop Primate to Torquemada. Yet even men, who ought to know and might know better, say " Laud would never convince an opponent if he could suppress him." Twice has this been written by serious men quite recently in Oxford — think, in Oxford — the beautiful learned liberal Oxford which Laud himself helped to create, Oxford from which he stirred England 140 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. to the revival of free discussion, and of bright and reverent worship. Did Laud burn Arians like Abbot ? Did he execute Roman priests like Pym ? Did he send Hales to prison for reasoning with him at Lambeth, or shut up Chillingworth in the Lollards' Tower, because he had doubts about the Articles? When we write history let us first seek for truth. A pretty epigram this, but an ugly slander. For the Archbishop was not intolerant. His religion was a religion of practice. I have already said he did not insist on his own view of any special doctrine disputed in his time. He would include in the Church men of all opinions. He did not believe in conversion by axe and stake. Doctrinally he was satisfied with an adherence to the Creeds which in his day few men openly questioned. But he did maintain there must be limits to the public discussion of doctrines ; and he worked to enforce silence on the followers of Gomar and the followers of Arminius alike, when they wrangled over the insoluble problems of Free-will and Fore- knowledge. His position was this. Such hot disputes have caused bloodshed in Holland. They will assuredly (and they did) cause bloodshed if they are publicly maintained in England. Nor are these dogmas helpful to the spiritual life of the men and women who have to struggle as best they can amid the temptations of this wicked world. He took one step further in opposition to the preaching of the doctrine of the Divine Decrees through the country. How could simplehearted peasants and Laud's Personal Religion. 141 artizans be persuaded to love a God who they were told had doomed to everlasting destruction and eternal suffering the huge majority of the mankind of which He was called the Father ? How could men walk straight when their responsibility was emasculated by a decree of Election which allotted them Hell or Heaven as a fixed fate from their birth ? If it was intolerance to argue against these beliefs, Laud was intolerant. If it be bigotry not to agree with Calvin's more exaggerated disciples, Laud was a bigot. But no serious person would so argue. Take down his strongest expressions against his enemies, penned in the privacy of friendly correspondence, and often with a caution that they should be burnt at once ; and set them by the side of his adversaries' deliberately published utterances. Study Laud and his fellow Bishops in the High Commission reasoning for hours to convince, if it may be, some violent opponent of the Church system, at least to persuade him for the sake of peace to teach about Jesus Christ and leave the insoluble problems of Election and the vexed boundary of the rights of Bishop and Presbyter alone ; nor to insist that every man must keep the Sunday just as he or the presiding Archbishop kept it ; and consider on which side was really the party of the bigots. Was not Bishop Hall, champion of the Dort Synod, appointed by Laud's wish to his Bishopric of Exeter, and employed by Laud to write in defence of the Church ? Who promoted Morton to Durham, Potter to Carlisle, and Cook to Hereford ? Who was the friend and patron of Prideaux and Fell and Palmer and Taylor and Jackson ? 142 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. All Calvinists these ; all with Puritanic leanings ; but all, Laud considered, good and valuable men. As Mr. Gladstone said the other day, when these facts were submitted to him : " Laud's breadth of view and his liberality were very remarkable as is shown, inter alia, by his appointments." Certainly the most tolerant and least bigoted this of the Rulers of the 17th century in England ; though he was a man with a mission, though he was ready to die for his opinions. Still, do not suppose that I am trying to persuade you that Laud's principles of tolerance were exactly similar to those of this decade of the 19th century. After all, each generation has its own ideas, and you cannot judge a man harshly because, though in advance of his age, he does not hold 19th century opinions in 1640. And, after all, nobody doubts even now that there is a limit to political and to religious tolerance. In England we do not tolerate Mormons, nor do we tolerate very appalling blasphemy in public, nor do we tolerate the Anarchist casting his dynamite, in his eager propaganda of his religious and political ideas, for the destruction of the sovereign people assembled in the street or coffee house, though all these complain in the name of toleration. Nor are men spared scorn and sarcasm, and even more bitter annoyance in the atheist factory because they believe in Christ. Persecution is not dead yet ; sometimes we think it is fast reviving ; and any of us who have studied even a little sample of society well know that bigotry and intolerance are not yet uprooted. Laud's Personal Religion. 143 But in the 17th century most men thought wrong opinions deserved a prison, if not death. Laud did not agree to this ; but he did consider that the State had a right to control the expression of opinion if it were likely to cause bloodshed and tumult. Within the Church he expected the Clergy to comply with the laws to which they had sworn obedience, and to maintain silence on doubtful questions at the command of their Bishops. Without the Church established by law in England he maintained that the State was justified in forbidding public worship. None of us would ask for such a system now ; some of us feel it wrong in itself. Others dislike it because they know it must fail. But to call a man intolerant, a bigot and a persecutor, because he was not con- vinced that it was wrong in the 17th century is to argue a hopeless ignorance of History. For tolerance Laud was a champion beyond his time. That is enough to defend him. And he had learnt tolerance from a direct study of his Bible. Let me quote to you from his godson and favourite pupil, Chillingworth, writing under his imme- diate direction (Works II., p. 63), " To induce Christians to unity of communion, there are but two ways that may be conceived probable : — The one by taking away the diversity of opinions touching matters of religion ; the other by showing that the diversity of opinions which is among the several sects of Christians ought to be no hindrance to their unity of communion." The former is not to be hoped for, he says, " without a miracle "; and therefore he goes on to reason for the latter method. Notice, unity in work and a moderate idA Archbishop Laud Commemoration. uniformity in worship is the proposal, not a dead level of opinion. Is this really impossible for reasonable men ? If it is, the Church of Christ can never be united. But how about the Pillory and the cutting off of ears ? These sentences were not ecclesiastical. They were pronounced by the secular law courts as the regular penalty for libel, ugly it is true, but common enough in those days. The High Commission might not touch life or limb. The ear-clipping was decreed by the Judges, not by the Bishops. In France the Puritan Pamphleteers would have been slowly put to death, with each limb broken in turn upon the wheel. In Spain they would have been burnt in the market place. In Italy they would have perished in the silent underground dungeons of the Inquisition. They would have fared badly enough at Geneva or at Stockholm. In England the Bishops did not interfere to save them from the pillory. I confess it would have been the more perfect Evangelical spirit to have defended these libellers from legal penalties ; and if the Bishops had thanked God that they were allowed to suffer shame from insults which after all were but a repetition of what their Master had borne. But, alas, the old Adam is not dead in any one of us ; and Laud considered, wrongly perhaps, that while he forgave and helped such men personally, publicly he must defend the character of the Church Rulers. When you study the almost boundless power of the Archbishop for many years, when you read the ferocious libels which were published against him, you wonder Laud's Personal Religion. H5 that that power was not used more often in self-defence and that no life was sacrificed in that long weary struggle ; till you turn to his daily prayers and see how he kept always before him our Saviour's example, and tried in spite of hot temper and flaming indignation to do as his Master would have done. No man was more conscious of the danger of power. Among his daily prayers were these : — " Lord, this is the time of fear ; keep Thy servant from presumptuous sins lest they get the dominion over me." And "O Lord, I beseech Thee, forgive mine enemies all their sins against Thee, and give me that measure of Thy grace that for their hatred I may love them, for their cursing I may bless them, for their injury I may do them good, and for their persecution I may pray for them. Lord, I pray for them, forgive them for they know not what they do." And do not forget that the power which the libellers assailed was being used all these years not only to strengthen the position and influence of the religious teachers in England, but principally to educate the gnorant, to feed the hungry, to protect the orphans, and to defend the weak. " Arise, O Lord God, and lift up Thy hand, forget not the poor," was not only a daily phrase of prayer but a daily principle of action with the Archbishop. Historians neglect too often the details of administration which are of supreme importance to the nation and to individuals. But let us turn aside to consider for a moment the methods by which the spiritual intercourse with God 146 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. was maintained by this Prime Minister through the busy period of his power. Thus only can we account for his general clemency. It is surprising to discover how ignorant those who claim to speak with authority are of the devotional arrangements of the Laudian period. A well known newspaper treated the matter the other day as if worshippers of those times were satisfied with its writer'sown scanty meal of a Sunday Service with sermon. Twice at least every day was Almighty God humbly worshipped with prayer and praise at Whitehall and at Lambeth, as well as in the Cathedrals and -in many a Parish Church. Regular attendance at the public prayers seemed essential to the Archbishop. He might, and often did, hurry over with rough impatience some ceremonial visit of a great magnate. He was never in a hurry in his interviews with God. The Services at Lambeth were constant and they were ornate. He wished to give his Creator all the most costly gifts he had to offer. The Chapel had been decorated with the arts which that magnificent and aesthetic age could lend to the due honour of the Almighty's House. Melodious music, gorgeous ritual were not forgotten. Sunday was spent as essentially a day to be passed with God. While the Archbishop thought it dangerous to be very strict in the rules enforced upon the general community for its observance ; he himself let none of its hours be lost from worship and prayer and meditation, so far as he could secure them. Besides these, were the constant private devotions every day divided into seven divisions for seven short periods of silent self-recollection — con- Laud's Personal Religion. 147 fession — thanksgiving — intercession — in the presence of God. It would be humiliating to Christianity if it could be proved that a man so constant in making up his accounts with his Maker was revengeful. But revenge, as we have seen, he trod resolutely out of his nature. It was a triumph of grace when the all-powerful ruler of the land succeeded in actually and genuinely forgiving his private enemies. From the day when he loaded with benefits his bitter personal opponent among the fellows of St. John's, to the day when he sat on his rough prison bed good-humouredly assisting Prynne while his private luggage was rifled in the Tower, only now and again did any real act of anger break out from Archbishop Laud. He was severe to Leighton, though the story that he took off his cap and thanked God for his condemnation has to be decisively dismissed for want of any evidence ; but he had apparently arranged with the king that even that rancorous libeller should have escaped his punishment if he had not broken prison. He was severe to Bishop Williams, to whom he is groundlessly accused of being indebted for his Bishopric, because he considered him, wrongly in all probability, to be a disgrace to his order. He was severe to Burton, Bastwick and Prynne in the ugly and barbarous sen- tence of the Star Chamber in which he did not concur, but which he did nothing to prevent. But he took care that Prynne should have comforts in the Tower, and he arranged that his nominal imprisonment for life should be no worse than a banishment under gentle restraint. L2 148 ArchbisJwp Laud Commemoration. In the weariness and painfulness of that long laborious ministry, he grew hot sometimes, and spoke unadvisedly with his lips, and regretted it and begged to be forgiven. But it was a constant petition, "Lord, set a watch upon my mouth and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not." And on the whole his religion stood the test, and he stands out among public men as one who was no self-seeker and gratified no petty personal spite. But how would this man's faith face the trials of a prison-house, the crushing disappointment of apparent failure? Here was a test under which even St. John the Baptist winced ; and sent doubtingly to his Master. But at last we have reached a point on which there is agreement. Some of Laud's critics have denied that he pos- sessed any real personal character ; they have seen in him a second-rate Oxford tutor thrown into high place for the convenience of greater minds, and played with as a puppet in a show to cover their schemes. Others have ticketed him as an Erastian servant of a powerful king who prostituted the forces of the Church of Christ to secure tyrannical authority for a master upon whom he tremulously depended. Others have pictured him as a superstitious designer of petty ceremonies, with no personal knowledge of God and an absolute indifference to human souls, loving to trick himself out in gaudy finery, and to surround himself with a gorgeous train, that he might strut for a little like a mindless peacock on the world's stage. Others, Romanists themselves, Laud's Personal Religion. 149 have thought they detected the blind and anxious admirer of Rome hoping to win some little praise and some small reward at last from the Infallible and Om- nipotent Viceroy of God upon earth. All these ideas, it is true, crumble into dust directly they are tested by the actual doings and sayings of the Archbishop who, whatever else he was, knew full well the road he was treading, and deliberately risked his life to make the Church of Christ once more powerful in the nation, and restore her to her place as the leader of education, the guide of opinion, the defender of the poor, and the consoler of sinful souls. But his worst enemies to-day do not deny that he was calm, and brave, and patient, and resigned in his long imprisonment. He had always expected it. The shadow of the axe had been across his path through the whole period of his power. As the storm gathered, one of the three ministers on whom the King had depended, forsook him and made terms with his enemies, having first, so he said, gained the King's approval to his desertion. On his two great colleagues the deliberate verdict of this treacherous Marquis of Hamilton, compelled to admire while he prepared to destroy, was spoken just before their fall, " The one, (Strafford,) is too great-hearted to fear, the other, (Laud,) is too bold to fly." It is a grand and a discriminating tribute. The impeached Strafford enters with proud and gloomy look and makes toward his place at the board-head, dauntless and defiant, in the House of Lords, amid the hisses of men who had pro- 150 Archbishop Land Commemoration. fessed themselves his willing servants, confident that he could cow them into submission to his imperious will, nor, to the last days, did he believe it possible that he could be sent to die : Laud on that short December morning of his accusation took boat across to Lambeth to make his preparations for prison, with that quiet calmness which comes to the man who has always expected to be destroyed by the cunning and hatred of his enemies, yet knows that he has that one surest security of victory, by which many a defeated leader of a lost cause has re- gained the battle against overwhelming odds, offering joyfully the sacrifice of his own life. And yet he had always disliked the thought of a violent death, and prayed for years to be delivered from the hands of his enemies. " But," he went on, " if my bones also must be broken, O Lord, I beseech Thee give me courage and abundance of patience that no torment may make my faith fall away from Thee, for Jesus Christ, His sake." Certainly it would be difficult to exaggerate the effect of Laud's imprisonment on the future of the Church. Everything in its details and its length proved the reality of his past profession. He was imprisoned so long that the whole nation had time to contrast the brightness and the liberty of the Church policy, which he had set before them, with the bald ignorance and ugly narrowness of the warring systems which jostled one another in a vain effort to win a permanent succes- sion to the place of the English Church. Rome was open to him still, yet he stayed rather to Laud's Personal Religion. 151 die with the English Prayer Book in his hand; all could see by experience that he was more dangerous far to Rome with his calm resistance to her encroachments upon Christian liberty, than the noisiest ranter of the crowd which loaded her with reckless abuse. Month by month through the four years of his im- prisonment came forth stories from the Tower of the sufferings of the late Prime Minister, his privations from the want of property confiscated before he had been tried to the private profit of his enemies; the insults which preacher and visitor heaped upon him ; the savage threats by which the skeleton of a Parliament at White- hall attempted to compel him to acquiesce in proceed- ings which were against his conscience ; his courteous and resolute resistance. Then at last the gates opened, he was exposed deliberately to public insult ; yet he never lost his quiet patience. Fearlessly he looked out of his prison coach, with those keen grey enquiring eyes, on angry mobs instigated to tear him in pieces. They tried him for his life, but not one shadow of a charge of treason could they bring home to him. Then they made a special law to put to death a man who it was well known always refused to employ the ordinary laws of the land against his adversaries' lives, and the Tower gates opened upon him for the last time : his day of liberty was come. And he hastened cheerfully to the scaffold, and in his sermon and his prayers, and by his quiet dignity and submission to the Will of God, he taught the flock for whom he had so long laboured, how to die a Christian death, and quitted this life as a shepherd 152 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. dying for his sheep, with the light of immortality shining upon his face. He had tried his best, by such Divine knowledge as was given him, to serve his Master : he had passed the three examinations of Faith, of Work, of Endurance ; he had proved himself to have learnt to say from the heart, " Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done;" he was gone to the seat of Divine Judgment : and the onlookers knew they also would have to face that dread tribunal, before which to gratify personal hatred his enemies had hurried him. Fifteen years later, his judges, Say, Northumberland and Manchester, with his accusers Prynne and Maynard, would be doing what they could to rebuild, as the neces- sary bulwark against Rome and unbelief, that Church edifice, for defending which they had doomed Laud to die. One asks oneself ; was it after all his enemies and his patience which gained his cause ? And whatever our liking for the man may be, what part of his character had so permanent an influence on his own and future generations as his personal religion ? To have lived strenuously might have been of no avail : to have suffered so long and so bitterly without complaint and with such sweet resignation, argued a fulness of the Divine vision, and proved him a martyr and a saint to those who had witnessed his departure. He had pleaded his cause before God and he had won it by the verdict of his fellow- Englishmen. Serious and open-minded critics may differ in their estimate of his political plans ; but surely it argues *53 an implacable fanaticism to refuse to see in this man a sincere champion of religion ; and all must agree that in life as well as in death he was a conspicuously sincere follower of our Saviour Jesus Christ. As he prepared in the Tower to die he had prayed constantly in a prayer he has bequeathed to us : "Not for my sake, Lord Jesus, but for Thine own, for Thy name's sake, for the glory of Thy name and for Thy truth, to confirm Thy mercies so numerous, great and marvellous, for the sake of Christ the Mediator and the Holy Ghost the Comforter, receive Thy servant who has come to himself and who returns to Thee. Amen." ARCHBISHOP LAUD. From The Times of Jan. n, 1895. ARCHBISHOP LAUD. [The following leading article, from The Times of Jan. 11, 1895, is here reprinted by the courteous permission of the Editor.] The ceremony which took place in Trinity Square yesterday is a symptom of a curious and perhaps not unimportant change of public opinion. The choirs of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey and Allhallows Barking went in procession to the spot where, two hundred and fifty years ago, William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, met his death upon the scaffold. The Te Deum was sung and the story of the Archbishop's death read by one of the clergymen who attended. The ceremony appears to have been simple and dignified, though it may, perhaps, be doubted whether Laud himself would have approved of a function not ordained by regular ecclesiastical authority. However this may be, it is certain that nobody would have thought a very few years ago of performing such a rite, while it would have been hard to find an historian of learning and impartiality to speak as the Bishop of Peterborough spoke yesterday of the famous Archbishop. The prejudices of the illustrious writers who built up the great Whig legend in the first half of the century have dominated our histories and our historians until the other day, and against no man 158 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. were those prejudices stronger and fiercer than against Archbishop Laud. Macaulay, as usual, is the most rancorous in his abuse. He entertains for Laud " a " more unmitigated contempt " than for any other character in our history. He is never tired of jeering at the "ridiculous old bigot" whom he describes as "a " lower kind of St. Dominic," guilty of acts of oppression as the luxuries of a mean and irritable disposition, the " excesses natural to a little mind in a great place." " The mean forehead, the pinched features, the peering eyes" of the prelate are pronounced worthy of the brain which could produce " that incomparable diary which " we never see without forgetting the vices of his heart " in the imbecility of his intellect." Yet this is the man whose toleration as a theologian is praised by Mr. Gladstone and the Bishop of Peterborough, whom the former declares to have set " the impress of his own " mind " on the Anglican polity and worship as in the main they still subsist, and to whose large sympathies, liberal views, and wide conceptions in Church matters the latter bears testimony. Perhaps even yet the time has hardly come to pro- nounce a definite opinion on the character and the acts of the Archbishop. Probably the personal views of his latest eulogists incline them to form too favourable a judgment on his career, just as the party passions of the old Whigs biased their minds against him. Undoubtedly he was one of the chief instruments of the despotism of Charles I., and for the severities and the illegalities of that despotism he must be held largely responsible. Archbishop Laud. J 59 There seems, however, to be good reason to believe that the pictures of the Archbishop's life and character drawn by his admirers are nearer to the truth than those drawn by his political foes. It is inconceivable that the idiot depicted by Macaulay, whose malice is only half excused by his incapacity, could have played the part which Laud played in the civil and religious government of the kingdom throughout a memorable period. It is equally incredible that a petulant bigot should have won for himself the affection and the respect of so large a body of English Churchmen. The truth seems to be that, though Laud's Church government earned for him the undying hatred of certain powerful interests and classes, his ecclesiastical measures, at all events, were not of a kind to provoke the enmity of a large proportion of the population. Laud himself came from the people, and one of his recent biographers argues with a good deal of force that he never forgot his origin, and that the policy which caused Puritans like Mrs. Hutchinson to sneer at his "base birth" was regarded with anything but aver- sion by the poor. The " masses," however, had no political power in Laud's day, and it is therefore all the more to his credit that he frequently showed a sincere regard for their welfare. He seems to have been a model parish priest himself, and to have been deeply impressed by the miseries, temporal and spiritual, of the peasantry, and by the oppression they endured at the hands of the landowners. There was no " labour vote " under the Stuarts, but when Laud rose to power mea- sures were taken to better the position of the labourers 160 Archbishop Land Commemoration. employed by the State and that of the seamen pressed for the Royal Navy. It is probable enough that the peasantry in most parts of the country were not sorry for his efforts to revive the old Sunday sports and pas- times condemned by the Puritans ; and Laud's endea- vours to restore some stateliness and beauty to the ritual seem to have been partly caused by the not unreasonable conviction that solemn rites and ceremonies appeal more forcibly to very simple and ignorant men than erudite lectures on the comfortable doctrine of eternal reprobation. On the other hand, Laud showed that he was no respecter of persons in the administration of ecclesiastical discipline, and his fearlessness in this respect must have made him many bitter enemies. "He " intended the discipline of the Church should be felt as "well as spoken of," says Clarendon, "and that it "should be applied to the greatest and most splendid "transgressors, as well as to the punishment of smaller " offences and meaner offenders." The Courts of Star Chamber and of High Commission have an ill name, which, doubtless, they did much to deserve ; it is, how- ever, only fair to remember that at the same time they often did good service to both Church and State by punishing offenders who would have been safe enough from the ordinary tribunals. On the great question of his day Laud took up a position diametrically opposed to that of the Commons. He ardently defended the Royal supremacy, but it was the Royal supremacy acting by the advice of Convocation, and not by the advice of Parliament, which doubtless Archbishop Land. 161 meant in practice the Royal supremacy acting by the advice of William Laud. Convocation, he contended at the same time, must be the judge of spiritual causes, and he declared the submission of such causes to temporal tribunals to be forbidden by Christ. His views of the true position of the Anglican Church were of a kind which have always been received by a large body of Churchmen. He held that she was a branch of the Catholic Church, but, to the unspeakable horror of the Puritans, he admitted that the Latin Church was a branch, though a corrupted branch, of the same body. He was extremely anxious to promote closer relations with the Churches of the East, and to the interest which he took in their history and antiquities we owe no small part of the splendid collection of Oriental manuscripts with which he endowed his much-loved University of Oxford. On the other hand, Laud himself seems to have realized the impossibility of a reconcilia- tion with Rome on any terms save terms of complete surrender. He says, indeed, that he was offered a Cardinal's hat, though the authenticity of the offer may perhaps be doubted ; but he rejected it, and he told the King that if " he wished to go to Rome the Pope would " not stir a step to meet him." Laud himself did not allow his own predilections as a theologian to blind him to the merits of men like Hales and Chillingworth, who belonged to a totally different school. He was, in his private life, a pious, sincere, and upright man. His superstition was not greater than that of others of his age. He was in some respects narrow-minded and M 1 62 Avchbishop Laud Commemoration. prejudiced, but he seems to have had a clear conception of a popular Church directed and governed by the Bishops under the protection of the Royal supremacy. His ideal did not commend itself to his times ; but it has features which may, perhaps, appeal more strongly to the thinkers of our modern democracy than to the Whigs of half a century ago.

( This list is probably far from complete, but no more have been found hitherto.] 1624. 295. The New Art of Lying, Covered by Iesvites vnder the Vaile of Eqvivocation, Discovered and Dis- proved By Henry Mason. 4to. London : Printed by George Purslowe for Iohn Clarke . . 1624. 11 26 -f- pp. 106. The dedication, to the Archbishop of Canterbury, begins "The first newes that I heard of the Equiuocating Arte, was that which I learned out of your Graces writings. And well might this be to me the first newes. For, if I mistake not, you were the first Writer, that published those trickes in print to the World." This would seem to refer to Laud's Third Conference. But Laud was not Arch- bishop in 1624 ; and the book was certainly first published then, as it occurs in the Register of the Stationers' Company on Jan. 18, 1623-4 [Arber, Transcript TV. 73]. Yet the dedication must refer to him rather than to Archbishop Abbott, as it is repeated in the Edition of 1634 [post). The probability, therefore, is that the Dedication (together with some other matter) was only issued with the latter part of this edition. At the same time, I have seen no copy without it. Brit.

There are Biographies of Archbishop Laud in the Biographia Britannica, Lodge's Portraits, Lives of Eminent and Illustrious Englishmen (Vol. iii. pp. 103-111, 1S36), Rose's Biographical Dictionary, Dictionary of National Biography (Vol. xxxii, pp. 185-194, by Dr. S. R. Gardiner), &c. &c. S. John's College Oxford was at one time collecting materials for a biography of Laud. See Clarendon Papers Vol. II. 328 (1772). Sir E. Hyde to Dr. Steward: — " The College does well to recollect his life ; I pray God they proceed in it, or do anything else worthy the memory of that man." They may have ceased owing to the publication of Heylin's work. Sancroft first planned the publication of Laud's Diary, when he was Dean of S. Paul's, at the instigation of Archbishop Sheldon ; and he continued working at it after his retirement to Fresingfield. Judging from the extent of his MS. collections, he would seem to have projected a new life of Laud also ; but of this there is no proof. The former plan was carried out after his death by his chaplain, Henry Wharton (see No. 66) ; the latter, if made, was never carried out. See also the following : — Notes and Queries — Series 1.

CATALOGUE OF EXHIBITS. .— Personal Objects belonging to, or connected with, the Archbishop. Chalice given to the Church of Holy Trinity, Knightsbridge, by Laud when Bishop of London. Silver-gilt, with inscription, " Sanctre et Individual Trinitati " on the bowl ; and " The guift of the right Hon 1,1 - and right reverent Father in God Will" 1 Lord Bishop of London " or; the foot. There was an ancient hospital at Knightsbridge with a chapel, to which the inhabitants of the village of Knightsbridge used to resort for Divine Service. In 1629, the chapel being ruinous, they petitioned Laud, then Bishop of London, for leave to rebuild it. This was granted, and (subject to the rights of the parishes of S. Martin-in-the-Fields, S. Margaret Westminster, and Kensington), they were allowed to have the services of a licensed curate. It was under those circumstances, doubtless, that the chalice was given. Lent by the Vicar and Churchwardens of Holy Trinity, Knightsbridge. Bishop Launcelot Andrewes' Devotions in Greek, being the copy given by him to Laud. In An- drewes' own handwriting ; perhaps the copy described by Drake as " happy in the glorious deformity thereof, being slubbered with his pious hands, and watered with his penitential tears." 186 pages ; size, 5x3; bound in white vellum, and fastened with green silk ribbons. With inscription on the front cover in Laud's writing (almost obliterated), " My reverend Friend Bishop Andrewes gave me this Booke a little before his death. W: Bath, et Wellen." Lent by the Rev. R. G. Livingstone 286 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. 2a. Another MS. of Bishop Andrewes' Devotions, in the handwriting of his secretary, Samuel Wright. Given by Wright to Richard Drake, Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge. 168 pages, preceded by 6 blank. 6^x3^; bound in brown calf. With an inscription on the second blank page, " Amicis- sinws metis Samuel Wright Lancelot Wintoniensi Epo olim a Ckartis, nunc autem Matthaeo Eliensi a Registris, pretiosum hoc Ke1u.1nX.10v siui manu accurate description dono Jcdit mihj. — Ricardo Drake." Lent by the Master and Fellows of Pembroke College, Cambridge. 2b. A Manual of the Private Devotions and Medita- tions of The Right Reverend Father in God, Lancelot Andrews, late Lord Bishop of Win- chester. Translated out of a fair Greek MS. of his amanuensis. By R. D[rake], B.D. London, Printed by W.D., for Humphrey Mose- ley, at the Prince's Arms in S. Paul's Church-yard, MDCXLVIII. The first complete edition in English. 321 pages. 4JX2J, original brown calf. Lent by the Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge. 3. Red Skull-cap, worn by the Archbishop at his execution, January 10, 1645. It is much worn on one side, and elsewhere pieces have been snipped off, — doubtless to be kept as relics. Lent by the President and Fellows of S. John's College, Oxford, Laudian Exhibition Catalogue. 287 i. Walking-stick, which belonged to Archbishop Laud. Of ebony, with ivory head and long iron ferule. The case containing it bears the inscription — " Hoc baculo dextrans subeunte | Gressus suos firmavit | Gulielmus Laud | Archie- piscopus Cantuar. | idemque hujus collegii Benefactor | insignis, cum ad mortem | immeritam ductus esset. | Praesidenti et sociis I Coll. Divi Johannis Baptistas | d.d. | Gul. Aubrey Phelp, A.M. I Ecclesiae de Stanwell | in Com. Middlesex Vicarius. | A.D. MDCCCXV." Lent by the President and Fellows of S. John's College, Oxford. 5. Chair, which once belonged to Archbishop Laud, formerly in the possession of S. John's College, Oxford. Carved in oak, somewhat mutilated and repaired, and up- holstered in crimson figured velvet. Lent by Miss Whitmore-Jones. 6. The Shell of Archbishop Laud's Tortoise. When found in a lumber room some years ago, there was a label pasted upon the shell which stated that the tortoise was put into the garden at Lambeth in 1633, where it remained till the year 1753, when it was unfortunately killed by the negligence of the gardener. Since then it has been preserved in the Muniment Room at Lambeth. There were two other old labels with the shell, to much the same effect : and it is mentioned also in " Experimental Researches on the Light and Luminous matter of the Gloiu-xaorm , and the Tor- pidity of the Tortoise, &-c." by John Murray, F.S.A., F.L.S. (Glasgow, 1826), p. 168. There is a memorandum on the history of this Tortoise, dated May 16, 1889, by Prof. Sir W. H. Flower, in Lambeth Palace Li- brary. After examining the evidence of the labels and Murray's 88 Archbishop Laud Commemoration. Experimental Researches, he comes to the conclusion that the tortoise was probably " placed by Laud in the garden at Fulham, when he went there in 1628, removed by him to Lam- beth in 1G33, and died through the gardener's carelessness either in 1730 or 1753. The animal is the common Land Tortoise of North Africa and Asia Minor, so frequently brought to this country, Testudo grceca of most authors, T. ibera, Pallas, of the recently issued British Museum Catalogue of Chelonians." Lent by His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. Bookcase Doors, formerly belonging to Archbishop Laud, of oak and gilded metal, carved in handsome open-work panels containing Laud's Arms, the same impaled with the Arms of Canterbury, his crest, the Episcopal mitre, &c Formerly in the possession of S. John's College, Oxford. Lent by the Rev. T. Arthur Curties. B.— Autograph Manuscripts. 8. " The Diary of the Most Reverend Father in God, William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury." The original MS., a long, narrow volume, closely written. It was this " little book or diary, containing all the occur- rences of my life," which was carried off by Prynne when he searched the Archbishop's chamber in the Tower for papers. And from this, with much garbling and mutilation, Prynne prepared his Brcviate. The narrowness of the inner margin proves that the Diary- has been rebound since it was first written. Lent by the President and Fellows of S. John's College, Oxford. Laudian Exhibition Catalogue. 289 " The History of the Troubles and Tryal of "William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury." The original MS., a small folio volume. Written by the Archbishop during his imprisonment in the Tower. Lent by the President and Fellows of S. John's College, Oxford. 10.

John's College. Lent by the Master and Fellows of S.John's College, Cambridge. 11. A Collection of Papers and Letters formerly be- longing to Abp. Laud ; many of them written by his own hand and most of them endorsed by him. Together with some papers of Arch- v 2go bishops Sheldon and Sancroft, and many of Mr. Chillingworth.

Herring from Mrs. Ibbott Widow of Dr Ibbott formerly Librarian at Lambeth. This MS it seems with some money and papers was in a Box which Abp. Tenison directed hisExecu- tors to burn without opening ; but the Box bursting in the fire, the money and this Book which they supposed was forgot by the Abp. was taken out and preserved. Abp. Herring made Mrs Ibbott a present of five guineas for this book." And in a later hand " This information I received from the Rev J Mr Henry Hall, Librarian to Abp.

He answered, No. The Abbot replied, I will tell you then some ; Archbishop Laud is beheaded. Sir Lionel answered, You are sorry for that, I presume. The Abbot replied again, that they had more cause to rejoice, that the greatest enemy of the Church of Rome in England was cut off, and the greatest Champion of the Church of England silenced ; or words to that purpose. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, this 28th day of September, 1694. Jona. Whiston, Vicar of Bethersden in Kent."

OldS Paul's Cathedral, West Front, built by Inigo Jones. Engraving by Hollar, dated 1643. The Cathedral was restored within and without mainly through the exertions of Laud, once its Bishop. He invited the King to the City on a State visit. After service he went over the Cathedral, and the inspection revealed the great need of restoration. The work was at once taken in hand, beginning with the disused and dilapidated choir ; and under Laud's auspices it went on vigorously. He himself guaranteed £\oo a year, and gave far more. The King gave Inigo Jones's new West Front — greatly admired at the time — and within about ten years over £100,000 had been spent upon the work, which was nearly finished at the time of Laud's impeachment. In the changes which followed, it need hardly be said, nothing more was done. Things projected. No. 5. "To set upon the repair of S. Paul's Church in London. Done." " Thus fell Laud, and S. Paul's with him : The yearly Contri- bution toward whose Repair, Anno 1641, when he was plunged into his Troubles, fell from the sum of 15000/. and upward, to somewhat less than 1500, and afterwards by degrees to nothing "— Heylin, Cypr.

" There happened also in the Town of Tadlow a very ill inci- dent on Christmas Day 1638 by reason of not having the Com- munion Table railed in, that it might be kept from profanation. For in Sermon time a dog came to the Table and took the loaf of bread, prepared for the Holy Sacrament, in his mouth and ran away with it. Some of the parishioners took the same from the dog, and set it upon the Table. After the Sermon the Minister cd. not think fit to consecrate the bread ; and other fit for the Sacrament was not to be had in that town ; and the day so far spent that they could not send for it to another town ; so there was no communion. And this was presented by four sworn men of the town aforesaid." Laud's Account of his Province, 1639 (Works v. 367/ It was the danger of profanation such as this which led to Laud's directions for the railing in of the Holy Table. Lent by the Rev. H. W. P. Stevens, Vicar of Tadlow. 117. The Parish Church of Allhallows Barking, E.C., in which Laud lay buried, 1645- 1663. En- graving, dated 1736. The brick Tower is an almost unique specimen of the Ecclesiastical architecture of the Commonwealth period. 320 Of this Church Dr. Edmund Layfield, Laud's nephew, was Vicar. At the time of Laud's death he was in prison and sequestrated by order of the Parliament ; and the use of the Book of Common Prayer had been prescribed on the very day upon which the Ordinance for the Archbishop's death was passed. Nevertheless, an intrepid priest named Fletcher was found who was willing to use the Book, and Laud was buried in the vault under the Altar, with the Burial Service of the Church for which he died. Calendar of State Papers (Domestic), 1663-64,/. 320. Oct. ? Petition of Thomas Fletcher to the King for the living of Boxford, Suffolk, void by death of Jas. Wharwell. Has been constant 22 years in preaching and reading the book of Common Prayer ; buried Archbishop Laud with that book when others dared not ; kept Christmas Day at S. Giles's Cripplegate, London, when other churches were shut ; and hazarded his life by going into Kent four Sundays, to animate the people then in arms for His Majesty. Has only supplied the cure at Strat- ford-le Bow on a contribution of the inhabitants. Endorsed is — Sir John Robinson to Sec. Bennet. Certifies at request of many persons of quality that the petitioner was a confident reader of the Common Prayer book in times of danger, a bold asserter of the King's cause, animating his audience to loyalty. " And true it is he buried that most reverend prelate mentioned in the petition when many would not have undertaken it." October 2, 1663.
