CHAPTER I. Among all the forms that people the kingdom of the 1593. past, none is more solemn and impressive than that of Thomas Wentworth, first Earl of Strafford. The representative of a long line of noble ancestors, the heir to a broad estate, the possessor of matchless powers of mind, accompanied by the most intense and passionate feelings, and living at a time when, of all others, the utmost scope was afforded for the exercise of intellect, when England called on her sons as she had never called before, he seemed armed by Nature herself for a successful career. Thomas Wentworth was born on Good Friday, on the 13th of April, 1593, in Chancery Lane, London. That he was brought into the world in this obscure neighbourhood, rather than in the home of his ancestors, was owing to the fact of his maternal grandfather, Robert Atkinson, Esq., being a barrister, and 1593. Lady Wentworth on a visit to her father at the time of the birth of her eldest son. His father, Sir William Wentworth, was a gentleman of Yorkshire, who had held his estate of Wentworth Woodhouse from the days of the Saxons; and himself the head of the house of Wentworth, was allied by blood to many noble families, who, springing from the same root, with pride acknowledged him as their chief. The family of Wentworth had always held public offices in England, and among its members, we find a lord chancellor, a bishop, many high sheriffs of the county of York, members of parliament, officers in the army, a master of the king's household, &c. Hitherto the race had lived in rare prosperity, escaping the fearful calamities entailed by the civil wars and the jealousies of different monarchs on the noble houses of England. Even Henry VIIL, certainly...

As to the contribution of twenty thousand pounds a year towards the army being a charge too heavy for Ireland, the idea was ridiculous. In reality, it was not worth naming, too small to be felt, if properly distributed among the wealthy. As it was, the rich had been spared, and the expenses had been ground by them out of the poor. Had it been the reverse, instead of the murmurs they spoke of, there would have been prayers and praises for his Majesty's person and most blessed government, and no man have been pinched. But this must now be all placed on a right footing. The King, indeed, would rather have it settled by parliament as the more beaten path, but a path in no way more lawful than by his Prerogative Eoyal which he could at once adopt, if the ordinary way failed. If the Irish were so unwise as to cast off the King's gracious proposals and their own safety, why, it must be guarded without them. As for Lord Wentworth himself, as their true friend, he must assure them of his belief in their affording the King the best means of fulfilling his good intentions towards them. As a faithful servant, he would certainly counsel his master to protect them by the ordinary means, but, if they disappointed him, he should take up his position as head of the army and deem it a great honour to die in support of the King's rights. Here "Wentworth sent a thrill through the nerves of the wealthy among the listeners by saying that he had 1634. no doubt the King would be able to fulfil his intentions by exacting his rights from those alone who were able to afford it, without calling at all on the poor. As to their idea of never raising a greater supply than was just enough to meet the present needs, he begged he might...

Excerpt: ...the clergy to desist from that foolish, nay rather illiterate and childish, custom of distinction in the Protestant and Puritan doctrine. And, especially, this error is so much the greater when they undertake to prove that Protestantism is a degree nearer to the Catholic faith than the other. For, since both of them be without the verge of the Church, it is needless hypocrisy to speak of it; yea, it begets more malice than it is worth. " That the provincials are required to give a general warning through all orders that no religious person ought to be seduced by any noblemen, either officers of the Crown or the.like, who pretend to be schismatic into a pramunire. For he that dares not follow the truth as his conscience directs him, is not worthy to be sought or followed by any of our faith. But, 1639. on the other side, we give the like command, that who-" soever is thought inclining to God in his heart, let no man be so rash to boast and speak it abroad. " All busy inquiries are forbidden, but especially into arcanas of the State. That none of the Church, whether lay brother or ecclesiastical, contribute so largely as they have done to the society; but dispose their charity that every order may partake alike."0 There is a great deal of common-sense in this letter. The repulsive part of the matter is, that a foreign ruler should take upon himself to issue orders in England. Still it was a good thing that the Catholics were held back from supplying funds for this wicked war. It was also a good thing that money was scarce in every direction. The Council were at their wits' end. Loan after loan was refused, and very cold answers came in from the gentry in answer to a new appeal. " Though they be not direct refusals," said Winde-banke, " they...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Strafford In that momentous struggle between the rival principles of Parliamentary Government and Monarchical Rule which fills the annals of our country throughout the greater part of the seventeenth century, the latter of the two contending theories is popularly and not unnaturally associated with the name and personality of Charles the First. The purpose of the following pages is to delineate the character and to trace the career of a man who might be much more justly regarded as the historical representative of the Absolutist cause - of a man who dedicated to it an intellect incalculably keener and a will immeasurably stronger than the most fanatical of cavaliers has ever attributed to Charles, and who sealed his loyalty to it in a higher sense than did his unhappy master by a death upon the scaffold. Of him it can be said, as it never could be said of the monarch who used and betrayed him, that if any man could have held firm the flood-gates of authority against the rising tide of democratic aspiration, it was he.
