… on our behalf and robs the term ‘substitution’ of all concrete meaning.
Sharon James gives a most balanced pen-portrait of John Rippon, however, James’ explanation of the church split concerning Rippon’s call gives a wrong impression. Actually the 30 members who could not accept Rippon as pastor on the grounds that the church was not unanimous were not a minority but represented half of the actual worshippers at the time. This sad drop in worshippers being due to the …

… gospel he heard preached made a deep impression on him. Oncken was then guided to the works of James Hervey. Oncken had developed a mind of his own at this time and soon left the employment of the Scotsman and moved to Leith as a pupil-teacher. Sadly, the boys of Leith resented having a foreign instructor, so nineteen-year-old Oncken decided to visit London to find new work. Shortly after his arrival, he was sitting on the top of a coach when it pulled up abruptly and Oncken was cast onto …

Mountain Movers’ Review

… Presbyterians and Separatists.
Concerning Mr Wilson’s strong criticism of King James, and the wish that he had been given more space in my book, I can only say that James was not one of my mentors and I only referred to him when he came into their stories and when he played a most positive role and certainly did not act the fool, as Mr. Wilson suggests. Mr Wilson, whom I believe is a Scotsman, will remember that when James visited Scotland with Andrewes, Hall and Abbot, he …
John Overall not an Arminian

… (1559-1618) was long dead by 1625, the year of Charles I’s accession, and as Mr Loh returns to James I in the same paragraph, the reference must be to Overall during the earlier reign of James.
Overall deserves to be remembered for his part in the Hampton Court Conference, whose 40oth anniversary we are remembering this year, and for his part in the production of the King James’ Bible. Overall is often made to wear the dunce’s cap in the Arminian Corner but his history …

Mr Hind’s prejudiced reading has missed my point concerning whether John, James or Julius Bate was ‘Uncle Jack’. My footnote points out the difficulties involved as the biographical details appear to fit neither. Mr Hind, boasting that this is ‘a small difficulty’, opts for John but submits neither biographical nor etymological evidence. He calls it ‘a small point’, but makes his mis-applied hunch his yardstick for discrediting my entire book. The …
… for historical accuracy and true balance is seen further, for instance, in his attitude to King James and Daniel Featley. The author spends page after page belly-aching nauseatingly on the seamy side of his ‘Liar King’, and even gives us intimate details of how James relieved his bladder during a hunt. Apart from the fact that much of Gay’s criticism of James is a snobbish and over-prudish criticism of James’ age from Gay’s most slanted legal hindsight, that which Gay criticises …

The Synod of Dort

… a major role in this conference due to several factors, the most well-known being the influence of James I on the Continent. James had studied the works of Vorstius, one of the Continent’s Arch-Arminians and was alarmed that he had been chosen to take Jacob Arminius’ place at Leyden University. Supported by Archbishop Abbot, he wrote to the Continental universities, asking them not to place such people as Vorstius on their staff. He also sent representatives to the European nobility and …
