^, i, j i • system tiou. It was a system, but nothmg more — a system powerful in the political authority which supported it, and in the ecclesiastical tradition which i environed it, but which had little relation to the souls, for whom it existed. Whitgift had succeeded in vindi- cating the supremacy of the law, but to him and to the vast majority of the Clergy over whom he ruled, it was the law and nothing more, the supremacy of whicli he ^8 The Church and the Puritans was vindicating. Bancrof...t fought for his order as well as for the law. In enforcing conformity to an Epis- copal system, he believed fully that he was advancing a Divinely ordered form of government. But more than this was wanted before the Church system could appear to men to be other than the ecclesiastical department of government, coming to them with the same sanction, but with no greater sanction, than the laws of civil obligation. It required the teaching of history, which would show that the Church of England was in truth a descendant of the primitive Apostolic society, would trace her oneness, throughout the ages which had elapsed, with the other parts of that Apostolic Church, and would claim by right of unbroken descent and unstained lineage her part in the Apostolic gifts.
