  • Of due Obedience to Rulers, and of Resistance

    Richard Baxter, William LamontEDITORCHAPTERBaxter2012

    Thes. 317. It is the Command of God the universal Soveraign, that every soul be subject to the higher Powers, and resist them not; and this not only for fear of punishment, but for conscience sake, Rom. 13.1 to 7; Tit. 3.1; 1; Pet. 2. 13,14,15. Because the right understanding of these commands of God, is of great use for our guidance in these weighty points, I shall stay a while upon the search of that Rom. 13 which saith most; and if we understa…

  • Blown by the Spirit

    William LamontARTICLEThe English Historical Review2007

    RICHARD Baxter saw through the humbug of the golden mean: ‘I never thought that when ever men differ, it is my duty to go in a middle between both (for so that middle will be next taken for an extream, and men must seek out another middle to avoyd that)’. But in the very tract where he wrote these wise words, Confession of his Faith (1655), he went on to draw up a number of pages into three columns, and labelled them ‘antinomian’, ‘truth’ and ‘pa…

  • The Allegiance of Thomas Hobbes

    William LamontARTICLEThe English Historical Review2007

    Hobbes studies have rarely been stronger. Dr Collins is properly respectful of the contribution made in recent years by three scholars of distinction, Quentin Skinner, Noel Malcolm and Richard Tuck. But Collins is his own man and has made, in his first book, a contribution to rival theirs. He is aware how much our revised view of Hobbes has been shaped by Skinner having placed him in the context of contemporary debates on de facto arguments for r…

  • Historical Controversies and Historians

    William LamontEDITORBOOKHistorical Controversies and…2005

    For students new to the subject of history there are many books on the theory of writing history but fewer on how history is actually practised. This work by a team of historians from the University of Sussex fills this gap. The first half of the book examines a number of notable controversies that have been, and still are, the subject of historical debate - for example, race in South Africa, the legacy of the French Resistance, the origins of th…

  • Richard Baxter, ‘Popery’ and the Origins of the English Civil War

    Open AccessWilliam LamontARTICLEHistory2002

    Richard Baxter (1615–91) was a puritan who reflected over a lifetime why he, and his fellow puritans, had opted for parliament in the Civil War. He made in 1681 an important distinction between fundamentum (the causes of the Civil War), which he discussed in his memoirs, and finis (the reasons why he had fought), which he explained in chapter 13 of his A Holy Commonwealth . The explanations are different, because fundamentum and finis are not the…

  • A Holy Commonwealth

    Richard Baxter, William LamontEDITORBOOKBaxter1994

    A Holy Commonwealth was written in 1659 by the Puritan minister Richard Baxter (1615–91), and proved to be the most controversial of all his works. He publicly repudiated it in 1670, and in 1683 the Oxford University authorities ordered it to be part of a book-burning that included the works of Hobbes and Milton. The scandal that surrounded it has obscured its merits as the most candid of confessions as to why a conservative Puritan fought for Pa…
