Abstract
This article examines the way practices and doctrines formed the spirituality of the sixteenth-century Anglican priest George Herbert, as reflected in his poetry (The Temple) and prose (The Country Parson). The practices of virtuous living, Sunday worship, public and private prayer, hearing and proclaiming the Word, and partaking of sacraments combine to shape virtuous Christian character. The doctrines of God, creation, sin, Christ, and grace, as well as the problem of affliction, combined to form Herbert's faith.
