Notes on the Local Progress of Protestantism in England in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2009
Extract
I have deliberately called this paper notes only upon the wide subject of which it treats. It deals with some evidence; not all evidence available, yet enough, I think, to warrant some conclusions.
Progressive change and growth of opinions, or decay of opinions and their modification, are more powerful factors in bringing about political and social changes than wars or acts of government, but receive less attention than is their due from the difficulty of tracing them clearly.
