… to be ‘scandalous’.
Another term for Anglicans used by the Presbyterian and Independent Parliaments was ‘malignants’. Again this term, on close examination, has nothing to do with morals but much to do with a total lack of toleration and liberty of thought. Thus even Cromwell’s daughters were pronounced ‘malignant’ because they insisted on being married according to church rites and not merely by a secular officer. When Cromwell insisted that Archbishop Usher …

… to adverse criticism that Huntington stood alone, he was supported by a relatively large number of Independent, Anglican and Baptist ministers. Huntington upheld the Biblical teaching of Christ’s imputed righteousness which Fuller rejected and Wesley often ridiculed. Huntington was a great winner of souls and preached to thousands. He was able to reap a prodigious harvest, especially in his old age. Andrew Fuller complained of the increased blessings and church growth in the churches …
… until the latter period of his life. Moreover, Calvin formulated most of his rather harsh independent thought through battling both against those good men who had prepared his way such as Valerand Poullain and with such wayward spirits as Bolsec and Osiander. According to what influence Calvin was under at the time, or with whom he was quarrelling, his theological pronouncements differ. In his first edition of the Institutes, Calvin takes over Zwingli’s stand. In the Consensus …

Like Whitefield and Wesley he pioneered open-air preaching in the highways and byways of public recreation areas. Unlike Ryland’s modern critics who remove the doctrines of grace from the gospel of salvation and include man’s agency as a saving factor, Ryland was concerned that the full gospel should be …

Hazleton’s list of faithful Baptists refers almost …

… British practice but in 18th century England the terms ‘Baptist’, ‘Congregational’ and ‘Independent’ were interchangeable to a certain extent. Gill’s Baptist church at Higham-Ferrers, for instance, was called an Independent church and in Huntington’s day a good number of Independent and Baptist congregations were mixed communion churches and could hardly be distinguished. I admit the unsuitable nomenclature but do not find that it affects my argument in any way.

Carey makes himself independent of Society aid
Meanwhile Thomas squandered the £150 for the first year’s expenses by hiring a large city house with servants to ‘keep up appearances’, immediately forcing the mission into debt. Carey begged support from the English Calcutta Christians but they refused because of Thomas’ bad reputation. Carey sought secular employment but was turned down. Mrs Carey became …
