Excerpt from Scribner's Magazine, Vol. 27: Published Monthly, With Illustrations; January-June, 1900
Thus it happened that the high tide of extreme Protestantism was reached in England, not as in other Protestant coun tries, ih the sixteenth century, but in the seventeenth. The Stuart kings were the only Protestant kings who were not in religious sympathy with their Protestant subjects. In theory the Anglican Church of Henry and Elizabeth stood for what we would now regard as tyranny. What Henry VIII. Strove to do with the Angli can Church is what has actually been done by the Czars with the Orthodox Church in Russia; but that which was pos sible with the eastern Slavs was not pos sible with the westernmost and freest of the Teutonic peoples. Yet in the actual event it was probably fortunate that the English Reformation took the shape it did; for under such conditions it was not marked by the intense fanaticism of the reformers elsewhere.
