Lecture; 17th, 1963) Appendix: books by, extant letters `These pious sentiments willhave served to introduce the obsessive theme of Dering's life, which must necessarily dominate any account of the man: the intense evangelical experience by a first-ge…neration Protestant of justifi cation and union with Christ through the renunciation of `will-works' and of the world and the exercise of a lively faith; and the consuming desire to convey this experience to others.' (4) -- Christ's College at this time was a seed-bed of puritan religion, a society with a character of its own which was not exactly matched by any other college in either university,and which it owed to a remarkable succession of tutors. While St. John's was thrown into a turmoil in the sixties bythe determination of the authorities to impose the surplice andthe square cap and by the truculent nonconformity of a faction of the fellows, and while the heads of Christ Church and Mag- dalen at Oxford, Thomas Sampson and Laurence Humphrey, postured as national leaders inthe same anti-vestiarian cause,a quieter and yet more potent move ment was at work in Christ's. Here there grew a puritan tradition moderate in its reaction to those questions of ceremonies and church order which are usually represented as the main ground of the puritan protest, but passion- ately indignant against the practical inadequacies ofthe Elizabethan Church and above all against its pastoral deficiencies. It was a tradition estab- lished and begun, in all probability, by Dering himself.' (6f.) -- `At the outset I said that Dering wasthe archetypal puritan divine. By his early and affecting death, Dering became the first of the puritan saints.' (31) VG, stapled, in orig. azure wrapper. End leaves lightly foxed. portrait by C. van de Passe (illustrator).
