One defeat for this man was when Parliament chose to use the phrase "fit and convenient" rather than declare some policies he supported to be essential.
One defeat for this man was when Parliament chose to use the phrase "fit and convenient" rather than declare some policies he supported to be essential. Rivals of this man included the treasurer Richard Weston and Bishop Williams of Lincoln, who impeded for three years this man's project of visiting every diocese in England. He was able to extend his influence to Ireland through his confederate Thomas Wentworth. He succeeded George Abbott to his highest post, in which this man was an opponent of such preachers as Alexander Leighton and William Prynne, using mutilation to control the spread of Puritanism. For 10 points, name this promoter of conformity with the Book of Common Prayer, a dour Archbishop of Canterbury who was executed during the English Civil War.
