He seemed quite unaware of the fact that, in some of their best characteristics, they foreshadowed himself. All he did was to commend them as a rich and too much neglected field of study. He thought, in particular, that one of the men who had come under their influence--John Norris of Bemerton (1657-1711)--was a much more considerable thinker and writer than had been recognised. He gathered this, not from personal acquaintance with his books, but from Principal Tulloch's estimate of him in the second volume of his Rational Theology in the Seventeenth Century (1872). He advised me, therefore, if I wished--as I did--to cultivate a bit of virgin soil for myself, to concentrate on Norris. The result was that Norris became my chief intellectual interest for several years. Norris, however, was an Oxford man, a Fellow of All Souls, a High Churchman, a pronounced Tory, a somewhat bigoted controversialist--a contrast, in short, to the Cambridge men in many respects. He admired Henry More, but not exactly for what was best in him. He made much of the Platonic doctrine of ideas, but not so much in Plato's way as in that of the eccentric Malebranche (1638-1713), whose almost solitary English disciple he was proud to be. Norris the moralist, as revealed in his sermons, is a tonic; but Norris the metaphysician, as revealed in his Theory of the Ideal and Intelligible World, is a fantastic. I had found time to read the Cambridge men while working on Norris, but not by any means carefully. Nor have I ever read carefully the whole of what they wrote--the whole of Cudworth's Intellectual System of the Universe, for example, or the whole of More's philosophical works and his dissertations on the Apocalypse. I could get no spiritual nutriment out of these, and it was spiritual nutriment that I had been told to look for. So I confined myself to Whichcote's Sermons and Aphorisms, John Smith's Select Discourses, Cudworth's great sermon before the House of Commons, and parts of his other books, More's Divine Dialogues, his treatise on Immortality, some of his poems, and passages of radiant beauty here and there, in the chaotic folios which he thought his masterpieces. Here the spiritual nutriment abounds, and is of noble quality. The addition of Culverwel's Light of Nature came as a matter of course; but Peter Sterry was a discovery, due to the description of him by Frederick Denison Maurice, and to a wellnigh accidental reading of Sterry's introduction to his Freedom of the Will, which led on to his sermons. Here is the passage from Maurice; and it is put here as more likely than anywhere else to catch the reader's eye. "There was a man in his (Henry More's) time who deserves to be remembered, both as a mystic and a very profound thinker; one who had many of the qualities both of Tauler and Böhme, and yet who belonged emphatically to his own age, and could scarcely have learnt his philosophy or his divinity if he had not been a contemporary of Cromwell, perhaps if he had not been his chaplain. Peter Sterry, the author of the Race and Royalty of the Kingdom of God in the Soul of Man, and of a treatise On the Will, is one of those men into whose writings few have looked seriously without carrying away some impressions which they would be very sorry to lose. Dwelling in the midst of the Civil War, full of all the highest aspirations after a divine kingdom which that war awakened, not surpassed by other Independents in his dislike of the monarchy and hierarchy which he supposed had shut out the perfect monarchy and hierarchy from the vision of redeemed men, he was led to a different conception of the spiritual world, and of the kingdom of darkness from that which satisfied those champions of the Commonwealth who regarded themselves as the saints of God, and all besides as his enemies. A struggle of essential light with outer darkness, of original good with evil in its first motions, sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes elevated, his spirit. The reader may be utterly lost in the wealth of Sterry's thoughts and imaginations; he will seldom have to complain of poverty or barrenness. He will always be directed to a higher guide, who can correct the errors of the imperfect guide. If he can make out no theory of the Will from his suggestions and reflections, he will at least be assured that there is a good which must triumph at last. / CONTENTS CHAP. Preface Prologue I.
