Synopsis

This book explores the background to proceedings brought against Roger Mawaring, a Doctor of Divinity, by the Lords and Commons in 1628. Mawaring's inflammatory sermons, which suggested the King was not bound by the law—an assertion then considered tyrannical and akin to the accusations made against King James I fifty years prior—had led to his impeachment. He was accused of inciting discord between the King and parliament. The author offers close textual analysis of Mawaring's sermons, intertwining it with insights into the political and religious climate of the time.
