Bancroft’s Canons were a book of church laws.

All ministers must subscribe to: three articles supporting King’s supremacy, the 39 articles (orthodox doctrines), and only use authorised services. (Puritans were against this)

James gave full support.

It was a new drive for conformity amongst canons.

Bancroft said all clergy that didn’t conform would be expelled, but only 1% ended up being expelled (called silent brethren).

Didn’t last very long as Bancroft’s replacement was sympathetic to puritans.

A

Broad church- most protestants felt welcome, isolated radicals, like Liz (elizabethan balance).

He was Calvinist in his theory (CofE).

Throughout his rule he got more annoyed with puritan demands- (eg: join thirty years war) whereas the arminians supported his peaceful negotiations with Spain.

23
Q

What is some evidence for James’ support of Arminianism?

A

He allowed Arminian clerics more prominence in debates at court eg: William Laud.

1624- he didn’t censor Richard Montagu’s Arminian track ‘A new gag for an old goose’.

1622- The clergy were forbidden to preach about predestination and reprobation (more radical protestant beliefs) supposedly because it criticised foreign policy.

24
Q

What was ‘A new gag for an old goose’? Who wrote it and when was it published?

A

Richard Montagu, 1624. It was an Arminian tract that wrote in support of many catholic beliefs and was anti-calvinist (CofE).

It was disliked by puritans and other protestants.

Had both James I and Charles I support.

25
Q

What was Charles I attitude to Arminianism and what was the impact of that?

A

He favoured Arminianism.

This led to a conspiracy mentality in and out of court from other protestants who believed that catholics and arminians were in control of the king.

This led to problems with parliament which Charles believed were a puritan attack.

26
Q

What is some evidence for Charles support of Arminianism?

He made Montagu royal chaplain.

Reinforced idea of Arminian and catholic control over the king.
