Excerpt from English Church History From the Death of King Henry VII, to the Death of Archbishop Parker: Four Lectures These lectures are not intended for experts, and, in the first instance, they were not intended for publication. They were written for popular audiences in connexion with the Exeter Diocesan Church Beading Society; and their object was, and is, to stimulate interest in the fortunes of the Church of England at a very critical period of its history, and, if possible, to give an intelligible statement of the main factors in the crisis. And they have been printed in response to repeated requests for publication, and also in consequence of the kind reception which a recently published volume upon a later period has enjoyed. But there has been no attempt to find new answers to obscure questions, or attractive solutions of unsolved problems. The aim has been to make vivid a few important features, to call attention to certain dominating facts, and to avoid bewildering the listener or reader with a large number of details.
