Quakerism and the end of the Interregnum: a Chapter in the Domestication of Radical Puritanism

In that fantastic decade from 1650 to 1660, English saints of every persuasion strove frantically to make the rule of the Lord on earth a political reality. Imbued with a lively apocalyptic hope and enjoying the driving enthusiasm of nascent religions, the left-wing Puritan sects sought to build in England a holy commonwealth that would prepare the way for the coming of the Lord. With the failure of the Barebone Parliament, their most promising opportunity passed by unrealized, but throughout the remainder of the Interregnum, Independents, Baptists, Fifth-Monarchy Men, and various mystical sects continued without abatement their endeavors to transform England into Zion.

School and Stage

In the programme of “The Field is Won,” the play recently performed in honour of our new English Saints, the mime is referred to as “a means of education.” Although the phrase was inserted to appease the taxer of entertainments (thus saving many pounds to the producer) it is also true if, by education, we mean the drawing out of what is there and not the hammering in of what is not already present in the child’s being. Mime is the art of sign language, a language which existed even before the Tower of Babel and must last as long as man has the power of movement and sense of sight. It is used by Almighty God and is the daily language of His Church. It is also the daily language of policemen, publicans, soldiers, schoolmasters and others who command or serve.
