RELIGION: PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL

XIII: Archbishop Laud

(BY SCRUTATOR)

Archbishop Laud was in the true lineage of Matthew Parker, he dreaded enthusiasm in any shape or form. His main pre-oc-- cupation was ritual and he longed for unity among Protestants. Ritual to him meant discipline, and he believed that it should be enforced as such. Hence the stern and terrible lengths to which

he carried his beliefs against the Separatista.

He was a man entirely devoid of, did not sail with the Mayflower. the capacity for religious experi- but the Church which the exiles Catholic or Pro-founded in the new world was no- ence, whether testant, and yet there was in Lording to the simple forms which him a strain of reasonableness that | Robinson had used.

It will surely be allowed that his Ideal was worthy, but his way of achieving I was exceedingly un- Christian and wrong. His advice which Charles acted upon, caused the Puritan Parliament to make common cause with the Separa tists. and ne ruthless and bloody were his measures that many for- sook England altogether.

This they did and so powerful was the effeci of their religious fellowship that they were soon tackling the whole sphere of their activities in the light and inspiration of it.
