Abstract and Keywords

This chapter discusses the influence of the early church and the consensus of
the Reformed churches upon the identity of the Church of England. It shows that
these two sources of identity have been set against each other in modern
scholarship rather than investigated to see how they interacted. This chapter
first notes the perseverance of the saints as the most distinctive doctrine for the
Reformed tradition and how Augustine was esteemed as the preeminent church
father. Then the chapter proposes to survey several debates involving competing
readings of Augustine on perseverance in order to see what contributions they
make to the discussion on the identity of the Church of England.

Keywords: early church, Reformed tradition, Calvinist consensus, Anglican, Church of England, via
media, perseverance, Augustine

The Church of England developed its theological identity during the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries through an association with two influential groups.
On the one hand, Church leaders strove to maintain relations to the movement
of Reformed churches throughout Europe. On the other hand, Church leaders
gazed back in time and found great significance in connection to the early
church. These two sources of influence often worked harmoniously together; on
occasion, they seemed in conflict. But both were ever-present forces on those
within the Church of England, shaping and molding a rather unique self-
understanding expressed in a particular pattern of doctrinal development and
argument. Nobody doubts that these two streams of influence were important
for the Church of England. Debate exists, however, over the significance of these

The Church of England, Sources of Identity, and Theological Distinctives

two traditions and the degree to which they shaped the Church of England’s
identity.

Identity and the Church of England

When King Henry VIII abandoned Roman Catholicism and subsequently modified
the Church of England, he had little connection with the reformist activities of
William Tyndale, Robert Barnes, and their (p.2) circle. Nevertheless, the
Church of England was soon identified among the Reformed churches of Europe
during the sixteenth century. During the short reign of Edward VI, Archbishop
Thomas Cranmer made important connections with leading reformers from the
European mainland like Martin Bucer and Peter Martyr Vermigli. Both Bucer
and Vermigli were invited to England, the former appointed as Regius Professor
of Divinity at the University of Cambridge and the latter Regius Professor of
Divinity at the University of Oxford. Both men proved influential in shaping the
1552 Book of Common Prayer.1 And even though Queen Mary instituted a brutal
reversal of the Reformation, she inadvertently strengthened England’s
association with the mainland Reformed churches as numerous exiles fled to
cities like Geneva, Strasbourg, and Zurich. These refugees solidified relations
with Reformed churches and leaders in those places, and they returned to
prominence in the Church of England under Queen Elizabeth’s rule.2 Granted,
some differences remained between the Church of England and other Reformed
churches, as revealed in controversies over vestments, ceremonies, and polity.
Yet the leading reformers on the mainland considered these dissimilarities as
matters indifferent.3 There were no valid reasons for Reformed churches to
alienate the Church of England, and the Church of England certainly had no
desire to distance itself from the churches. (p.3) In fact, King James I fortified
England’s Reformed identity by his advocacy and support of the Synod of Dort—
an international gathering that received the British delegates with highest
honor.4

While the Church of England was identified with the Reformed churches of
Europe, it is equally evident that its leaders consciously aligned the Church with
the doctrine and practice of early Christianity. This ancient catholicity was
trumpeted in both John Jewel’s An Apologie of the Church of England and
William Perkins’s A Reformed Catholike and Probleme of Forged Catholicisme,
where they argued that Rome had strayed from the old paths and that England
simply upheld the scriptural position of the ancient faith.5 In fact, a strong sense
of English exceptionalism developed within the Church that recognized an early
uncorrupted Christianity prior to Augustine of Canterbury with strong remnants
of the ancient faith existing during the Middle Ages, despite some corrupting
papal influences and ills introduced after the Norman Conquest. Archbishop
Matthew Parker promoted this historical perspective by publishing an English
translation of an old Anglo-Saxon Easter sermon of Aelfric and in writing his own
history of the British church.6 Such a tie to the early church fathers (p.4) went
further than historical sentimentality. Even the sixth canon of the Convocation of

The Church of England, Sources of Identity, and Theological Distinctives

1571 expected agreement with the early church, calling all preachers to align
themselves with the common doctrine of “the catholike fathers, and auncient
Bishops.”7 In various ways, the leaders of the Church of England made a
conscious effort to draw a connection between themselves and antiquity.8

Both the Reformed tradition and the early church tradition served as major
streams of influence, and their value in contributing to the identity of the
English church can be seen throughout various debates within the Church’s
history. Rival factions within the Church looked for precedents among the
Reformed churches and ancient catholicity as they sought to shape England in
their favor. Puritans, for instance, were quick to appeal to the Reformed
churches as they desired to establish a Genevan-style reform in England.
Depicting the establishment as only half-Reformed, Puritans questioned their
opponents’ commitment to the Reformed churches as if that tradition carried
weight in England.9 And they were right, at least in their assumption that the
Reformed tradition was respected by their opponents. The fact is that the
Reformed consensus provided abundant leverage for both sides of the debate.
Even Archbishop John Whitgift, the great scourge of the early Puritans,
continually appealed to Calvin and other reformers in order to demonstrate the
latitude afforded to Reformed churches with regard to (p.5) ecclesiastical
polity.10 Likewise, debates demonstrate how theologians felt comfortable using
the early church fathers in order to define official doctrine. For instance, English
delegates to the Synod of Dort justified their advocacy of universal redemption
by appealing to the early church and the Convocation of 1571.11 The point is
that church leaders freely drew upon each of these streams of influence as it
suited their purposes. The English church prized both the ancient church and
the consensus of Reformed churches as important sources of identity, and most
churchmen were not willing to do away with either association.

Beyond Anglicanism and Calvinistic Consensus

Surely churchmen had competing agendas as they struggled to form an identity
for the Church of England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. But
confusion persists today as historians propose competing paradigms for how
they should perceive the identity of the early modern Church of England. The
idea of an early Anglicanism looms large in the literature as scholars debate
whether the Church of England created a distinct “Anglican” Protestantism that
placed it between Rome and Geneva. Advocates of an early Anglicanism typically
emphasize the continuity of conformist thought among the early bishops and
persisting through the Laudian era and into the Restoration, viewing the Puritan
movement as a troublesome incursion into the English way of doing church.12

(p.6) Other scholars have challenged this approach to framing the identity of
the English church, calling it an anachronistic and reductionist reading of
conformist theology. These critics argue that advocates of an early Anglicanism
read high church ideals and nineteenth-century Anglo-Catholic sympathies back

into early conformist thought. They suggest that the earliest semblance of such
an Anglican via media was found in a Laudian incursion, which may have had its
initial seeds sown by avant-garde conformists like Lancelot Andrewes, Richard
Hooker, and John Overall. This view tends to see more variance between earlier
conformist thought and later Laudian bishops.13

(p.7) One critical component of the debate over an early Anglicanism is

whether a “Calvinist consensus” existed within the Church of England during
the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Some critics against the
Anglican perspective have argued that there was an early English consensus of
Calvinistic thought that was eventually abandoned in later conformist thought.
By turning the discussion toward the theological issue of predestination, these
scholars argue for a theological solidarity among Puritans and conformists
during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras of the Church of England that was
challenged by upstart anti-Calvinists in the 1590s and more trenchantly
assaulted by a rising tide of Arminianism during the 1620s and 1630s.14 In
response, advocates of the Anglican via media tend to deny a sudden rise of
Arminianism and view the church under the reign of Charles I as a conservative
movement rather than as something novel.15

Another important aspect of the Anglican via media debate has been the Church
of England’s relation to the early church. Some advocates of an early Anglican
spirit identify the Church of England as uniquely possessing a special devotion
to the authority of the early church fathers.16 (p.8) This perspective tends to
portray Puritans as opponents of the Church of England who devalued the early
church. However, this perspective has been challenged as being overly
simplistic. Recent scholarship differentiates between the ways conformists
appealed to the early church fathers before and after the restoration of the
monarchy following the English civil wars.17 Scholars have also demonstrated
that the Puritans themselves made repeated appeals to the early church
fathers.18 By distinguishing a more Anglo-Catholic valuation of antiquity from
what had been the norm in pre-Restoration England, and at the same time
recognizing the importance of the early church fathers among more than just the
conforming ministers, scholars willing to reevaluate the Church’s relation to the
ancient church raise significant questions for advocates of an early Anglican
spirit.

In all of these discussions, modern scholars are effectively debating the

significance of the international Reformed community and the ancient church as
sources of identity for the Church of England in the (p.9) sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Advocates of an early Anglican via media tend to
emphasize the early church as a source of identity for the Church of England
while deemphasizing the consensus of the Reformed churches as a source.
Conversely, revisionists have criticized claims of a unique devotion to the early
church fathers as support for an early Anglican via media and tend to emphasize

The Church of England, Sources of Identity, and Theological Distinctives

a Calvinistic hegemony during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. These debates
highlight the importance of the Reformed and ancient communities for
determining the identity of the Church of England. But a certain oddity exists in
the modern debate. Scholars on both sides of the debate tend to gloss over the
possibility that ancient catholicity and the Reformed consensus simultaneously
served as sources of identity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. That is
to say, scholars defend one of the two sources as primary, when it may be more
helpful to focus on how the two sources were harmonized.

In order to advance this discussion about England’s theological identity,

historians may do well to observe how the Church handled theological issues
that touch on both of these sources of identity at the same time. One profitable
way forward would be to evaluate how English theologians used the early
church fathers in discussions about Reformed doctrines and practices. Such a
project would have the advantage of seeing how church leaders managed both
sources of influence as they sought to implement policies and procedures within
the Church of England. However, it is well beyond the capacity of this study to
perform a comprehensive survey of all determinative theological issues
associated with being Reformed and how those topics were discussed in relation
to each of the early church writers. Rather, this study will single out one
distinctive of Reformed theology and see how receptions of a particular church
father on that topic factored into certain debates.

Perseverance as the Reformed Distinctive

Concerning Reformed distinctives, scholars tend to focus on the doctrines of
election and predestination. These teachings obviously (p.10) characterize the
Reformed tradition, so it is only proper for historians to pay attention to them in
efforts to detect a Reformed identity. But if one thinks of a distinctive more
narrowly as something that sets one thing apart from all others, the doctrine of
predestination by itself can hardly be characterized as a Reformed distinctive.
After all, strong predestinarian strains run throughout the course of church
history, even manifesting themselves during the Reformation and post-
Reformation eras in distinctly non-Reformed communions. For instance,
Dominicans and Jansenists rallied to the cause of unconditional election against
the Jesuits.19 Furthermore, such a position was not foreign to Lutheranism.20

Predestination can only be considered a distinctive of the Reformed tradition

insofar as it ties into the greater system of doctrines related to grace. For
instance, one could analyze the five heads of doctrine issued in the Canons of
Dort (1619) and say that a distinct Reformed position was taken in how these
theological issues work together as a whole. In fact, the Canons of Dort became
a defining document for the Reformed tradition, a creed in which non-Reformed
communions would have been hard pressed to affirm in total. However, of the
five heads, only one of the doctrines seems distinctively Reformed when taken
on its own. That doctrine is the perseverance of the saints. Like predestination,

The Church of England, Sources of Identity, and Theological Distinctives

the Dortian doctrines of human depravity, effectual grace, and the restricted
efficacy of Christ’s satisfaction could be found within non-Reformed
communions. However, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and Arminians all recoiled
from the notion that a person once possessing justifying faith could not lose it.

Even before the Synod of Dort, the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints
was a significant doctrine for the Reformed tradition. Those outside the tradition
recognized its popularity within Reformed (p.11) theology, as was evidenced in
1592 when the Lutherans cataloged it as a Calvinist error in the Saxon Visitation
Articles.21 And this perception was due, no doubt, to the fact that many leaders
within the Reformed churches explicitly, and sometimes forcefully, taught it.22 To
be sure, the doctrine lacked widespread confessional status before Dort. While
one may find a confession like the Irish Articles (1615) explicitly stating
perseverance of all those who are regenerate and have true faith (Art. 38), many
Reformed confessions, like the First Helvetic Confession (1536), simply don’t
address the topic. Similarly, doctrinal standards like the Belgic Confession
(1561) and the Heidelberg Catechism (1563), which many people find conducive
to the perseverance of the saints, never clearly state it. And while the tenth
chapter of the Second Helvetic Confession (1566) may be suggestive of
perseverance of the saints when it identifies those engrafted in Christ by faith
with the elect, it does not come out and say that those with true faith cannot lose
it. Other confessions, like the Thirty-Nine Articles (1563), speak of the elect
attaining everlasting felicity (Art. 17) without ever specifying that everyone with
saving faith is elect. This path was even followed by the French Confession
(1559) and the Confession of La Rochelle (1571), which were highly influenced
by Calvin and the Reformers in Geneva.23 But the fact that so many Reformed
confessions did not require adherence to the perseverance of the saints does not
mean that the doctrine was not prominent. To the contrary, the fact that the
confessions did not deny it allowed the doctrine to flourish (p.12) among the
Reformed. The doctrine of perseverance of all saints developed primarily and
extensively among Reformed Protestants, giving a distinct character to
Reformed theology.

Considering that perseverance of the saints developed distinctly within the

Reformed tradition, this study will analyze the reception of this doctrine among
the English in order to evaluate the struggles the Church of England faced by
identifying with other Reformed churches. Yet declaring perseverance of the
saints as the Reformed distinctive needs some qualification, and the significance
of Dort for making that qualification cannot be stressed enough. Perseverance of
the saints was the Reformed distinctive before the Synod of Dort in the sense
that Reformed churches were the only ones willing to give it a significant
hearing. But the Synod solidified a theological identity for Reformed churches by
issuing a statement of faith created by consent of an international cast of
Reformed delegations. When the Canons of Dort clearly articulated
perseverance of the saints and rejected the genuine apostasy of the regenerate

as an error, it closed the gaps found in previous confessions and eliminated the
possibility of any other Reformed position. After Dort, perseverance of the saints
became a Reformed distinctive in the sense that churches could not maintain
their Reformed identity without it. Dort amplified the Reformed distinctive, and
this maneuver will prove important as this study progresses.24

Augustine as the Preeminent Church Father

Historical theologians have rapidly expanded their understanding of the
reception of early church fathers within the Protestant Reformation.25 (p.13) A
major subset of this reception history is dedicated to readings of Augustine of
Hippo, due to the substantial influence his writings exerted on the church’s
theology for centuries.26 Considering his importance, (p.14) Augustine
provides a suitable choice in assessing the English reception of the church
fathers on the doctrine of perseverance. For one thing, sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century theologians often treated Augustine as preeminent among
the early church fathers. But beyond the high regard people had for his
theological opinion in general, Augustine wrote a treatise specifically focused on
perseverance, On the Gift of Perseverance, and spoke of the doctrine extensively
in a couple of his other writings.27 Moreover, Englishmen had recognized the
importance of these treatises as evidenced in their retrieval of English
translations beginning in the reign of King Edward VI and continued by exiles
under Queen Mary.28 Modern scholars have recognized the significance of
Augustine’s thought on perseverance for subsequent church history, but while
studies have been done on the reception of Augustine on perseverance in the
medieval era, historians have not yet advanced (p.15) the topic into the
Reformation and post-Reformation eras.29 Modern scholarship needs to
recognize the significance that the Reformed tradition attributed to Augustine’s
thought on perseverance.

Scope of the Study

Given the distinctive nature of the doctrine of perseverance of the saints for the
Reformed tradition, as well as the high regard English theologians had for
Augustine during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, an evaluation of the
English reception of Augustine on perseverance could provide a valuable
contribution to discussions regarding the identity of the Church of England. As
happens to be the case, English theologians developed several discussions
during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries where readings and the
reception of Augustine influenced their treatment of perseverance. Therefore,
this study selects various English debates over perseverance in order to
demonstrate the critical importance that readings of Augustine on perseverance
played in the development of England’s relation to the Reformed churches of
mainland Europe.

This book does not intend to give a comprehensive history of perseverance in

seventeenth-century England. Many important debates and books receive less
treatment than others or even none at all. However, like an ecologist surveying a
landscape, this book takes ground samples at significant points along the
contours of the English church of the seventeenth century. In selecting samples,
this study adopts events before, during, and after the Synod of Dort in order to
reflect the changing circumstances within England and the greater Reformed
community. It also selects debates where prominent churchmen wrestled with
(p.16) readings of Augustine on perseverance in settings where the shape or
acceptance of confessional standards were at stake. The study also selects
debates and characters that already appear in scholarly discussions of
Anglicanism, Puritanism, and the identity of the Church of England, but not in
ways that reflect the significance of perseverance. While these samples will not
exhaust every detail of how the readings of Augustine on the doctrine of
perseverance shaped the identity of the Church of England, a close analysis of
the samples provides a good starting place to assess the critical role played by
perseverance.

Chapter 2 examines the debates at Cambridge University that set the context for
the famous Lambeth Articles of 1595. While scholars frequently reference these
articles for their importance regarding the doctrine of predestination, this
chapter shows that the doctrine of perseverance played much more significantly
into the debates that brought about the articles. Furthermore, it looks
specifically at the way perseverance was handled in the construction of the
Lambeth Articles and how variant readings and receptions of Augustine factored
into the version of the articles that were finally approved. Thus, it shows that
readings of Augustine influenced the way bishops made policies and strictures
for the University of Cambridge. This reevaluation of the Lambeth Articles has
added value in that it assesses thoughts on perseverance on the front edge of
the seventeenth century, before perseverance of the saints was explicitly
confessed as a mark of the international Reformed community. It suggests the
existence of a strong Reformed influence in England that was broad enough to
admit diversity on perseverance due to its regard for the early church. That is, it
discovers the existence of a minority opinion within the Reformed tradition that
took advantage of confessional latitude and dissented from the majority opinion
regarding the perseverance of every saint.

Chapter 3 crosses the English Channel to the Synod of Dort and analyzes the
British delegation’s participation in that famous international conference of
Reformed churches. The significance of Dort’s codification of perseverance of
the saints as a Reformed distinctive has already been mentioned. Yet it is also
important to understand the way (p.17) British theologians handled the issue
in dialogue with other Reformed churches. This chapter uncovers a consistent
English strategy of conciliatory confessionalism, even when it was painfully
inconvenient. Even though the delegates agreed theologically with the rest of

the Synod on perseverance, their sensitivity to readings of Augustine prepared

them to advocate unity among the Reformed churches in a way that would avoid
unnecessary offense to those rejecting the prevailing view on the doctrine. And
while the British delegation’s request was not granted, this episode
demonstrates yet another attempt by Englishmen to use readings of Augustine
to shape doctrinal standards within a Reformed context.

Chapter 4 returns to England in order to survey a significant debate that Richard

Montagu stirred in the aftermath of Dort. This debate has been largely
classified, both then and now, as one between Arminians and Calvinists.
However, this reanalysis of the debate suggests that Montagu better fits the
profile of a previously permitted minority opinion within the Reformed tradition
that followed a different reading of Augustine on perseverance. The chapter
argues that Montagu was not a genuine Arminian and that his repudiation of an
irrespective divine decree did not propose a view of election caused by foreseen
faith. By better understanding Montagu’s context and arguments, one can see
that Montagu’s denial of perseverance of all saints was not presented on semi-
Pelagian grounds. The chapter also demonstrates the way Dort’s narrowing
tendencies created difficulties for the Church of England’s broad-church
approach to being Reformed.

Chapter 5 continues to sample the English soil of the Montagu affair with a view
to surveying adjacent doctrines related to the perseverance debate. For
instance, Dort’s more narrow definition of perseverance caused difficulties for
those holding a more traditionalist view of baptism and regeneration. After
looking at Montagu’s baptismal argument against perseverance of the saints, the
chapter evaluates published responses to Montagu’s advocacy of baptismal
regeneration as well as more private debates where John Davenant and Samuel
Ward tried to reconcile a form of baptismal regeneration with Dort’s
determination on perseverance. This survey shows (p.18) division on the
efficacy of baptism even within the pro-Dortian party, with readings and
receptions of Augustine factoring in. It also reveals further evidence of how a
broad-church approach to being Reformed set the Church of England at odds
with the international trends of the Reformed churches.

Chapter 6 collects samples from a debate on perseverance that arose among the
Puritans after England’s civil war. The debate was started by the avowed
Arminian John Goodwin, who appealed to Augustine and the early church for a
denial of the perseverance of the saints. The chapter focuses on the Reformed
responses among his Puritan counterparts, like John Owen and George Kendall,
and how they challenged Goodwin’s reading of Augustine and defended the
importance of perseverance for confessing the Reformed faith. It also focuses on
Richard Baxter’s alternate perspective, which affirmed the doctrine on
perseverance of the saints but questioned whether it should be a confessional
issue based on his reading of Augustine and the witness of church history. This

chapter has the value of tracking England’s struggle with perseverance in a time
when the pro-Dortian party had gained ascendancy. Given the fact that the
Westminster Assembly sought to bring the Church of England into closer
alignment with mainstream Reformed thought, one might easily assume that the
temporary triumph of the Puritan cause would have settled the issues related to
perseverance. Nevertheless, this chapter reveals how competing readings of
Augustine on perseverance persisted among Reformed Englishmen and also how
these readings influenced the way Puritans developed and used confessions so
as to handle concerns of catholicity.

Again, this is not a complete history of readings of Augustine on perseverance

among English churchmen. This project neither is strictly limited to an analysis
of readings of Augustine on the point nor does it treat every book and debate on
perseverance. Instead, this limited study demonstrates that churchmen in
various stages of post-Reformation England relied on readings and receptions of
Augustine on perseverance to influence the way confessional statements were
used. In doing so, this study follows recent trends in Reformation- and post-
Reformation-era studies that recognize the diversity that existed (p.19) within
the pursuit of a unified Protestant front.30 It also uncovers competing readings
of Augustine on the doctrine of perseverance, which in turn led to variant
understandings of the doctrine within the Reformed community. By evaluating
these debates, this study sets up a better approach to framing the identity of the
Church of England. Rather than identifying the Church as either part of a
Calvinist consensus or an adherent to the ancient Christian faith, this study
grants the possibility of seeing both the Reformed churches and the early church
fathers as confluent sources of identity for the Church of England. It witnesses a
broad approach to being Reformed that respected traditionalist elements in its
midst—a Reformed catholicity derived from great sensitivity to the early church.
It also helps make sense of the struggle the Church of England faced in
maintaining its Reformed identity after Dort, recognizing how the international
Reformed community demanded tighter confessional definitions that alienated
England’s traditional, broad-church approach to being Reformed. Surely the
doctrine of perseverance was not the sole issue behind England’s faltering
Reformed identity. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged as a significant factor
in that demise and even as emblematic of other issues. Debating perseverance,
the Church of England witnessed the importance of that doctrine for maintaining
both an ancient and a Reformed identity.
