Q

Why did she take the title ‘Supreme Governor’ instead of Supreme Head?

A
  • to avoid a rebellion of John Knox and Knoxians as she was a female and he had written ‘The First Blast of the trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of women’
  • additionally, Knox didn’t agree with state-controlled Church - ‘governor’ appears to place more control into individuals hands
  • moderate compromise as Catholics could see her as governor and perhaps Pope as true head

  • Bishop Jewel and Grindal resigned and Liz backed down
19

A
  • she had herself become increasingly aware of reports of widespread clergy to wear them
  • AB Parker may have brought it to her attention, he was facing inaction by a number of bishops who were prepared to ignore clergy failings
20
Q

What did the Advertisements of 1566 outline?

A
  • doctrine - font should be used for baptism
  • administration of sacraments - bread and wine given to those kneeling
  • clerical dress - surplice only should be worn for church services, biretta should be worn outside
21
Q

In what way were the Advertisements a compromise?

A

  • 37 refused to wear what Parker had believed was a compromise on theological grounds, that the clergy were of the people and should not be set so heavily apart
23
Q

How did the Vesterian controversy escalate?

A
  • Protestant pamphlets produced arguing that biblical references banned surplices
  • extreme Puritans began to argue that the Monarch did not have the right to determine clerical dress (eg. Knox who believed it should be in the hands of the individual church ministers)
24
Q

Why was a Church schism now possible?

A
  • separatists eg. Anabaptists (rejected idea that state had any control over religion) became unwilling to accept mainstream Protestant thinking that the monarch had the right to determine clerical dress and desired a Calvinist system in which decisions were in hands of individual church ministers
25
Q

AB Parker asked Elizabeth to enforce the Advertisements officially - which might she have refused?

A
  • to interfere would be to act in the manner which had incensed the extreme Protestants
  • if it was given legal authority then offenders would be tried (perhaps become martyrs for the cause)
26
Q

Where did Catholicism continue? Why?

A
  • Visitations only dealt with AB of Canterbury
  • more conservative areas away from London
  • Sander (contemporary) - “not so many as one in a hundred… are Protestant”
  • financially eg. Church of Lancashire = difficult to invest in new prayer books and Bibles
