It was, to begin with, an extraordinary reaction from the high-handed despotism of Tudor days ; but what made it possible was not so much a dislike of tjnranny in itself, as the knowledge of the power that comes from a national spirit of unity. It was this national spirit that had been the gift of the Tudors' despotism, little as they realized it, developing from the days, now a century ago, when the nation asked from Henry VII. the strong Government that should give them security after thirty ...years of civil war. In that atmosphere of security England had grown up, had learnt her own strength ; and the sovereign who tried to rule a strong and united people as in the old days of weakness and disunion, was simply riding for a fall. Many influences had contributed towards this educa- tion of a nation in freedom from the dictates of accepted custom. Liberty of thought cannot long be separated from liberty of action, and the Reformation, which had taught men how lightly authority could be set aside in matters of Church governrtient, was not likely to end there.
