CHAPTER III

The Eise of Puritanism in England

It is a common impression that Puritanism is a growth
that first sprang upon British Sjjil — that, from the
seed sown by the early Protestant Eeformers, it first
pushed its way into the Hght of day during the reign of
Elizabeth, or during the closing years of the reign of her
sister Mary. This, however, is an error. Its origin
must be sought at a much earlier period than this, and
in a '.country relatively smaller and historically much less
important. It was in Holland or the Netherlands that
Purit^msin_first, sprang aJjd took rpot. But of this we
shall have occasion to speak presently,^ and mention it
here only as a caveat to prevent any premature conclusion
being drawn as to its British origin.
John Hooper, bishoj;i__of Gloucester, may be re-
garded as the father and, founder .of English Puritanism.
