Excerpt from The Church and the Puritans: 1570 1660 Among the original authorities upon whom I have mainly relied may be mentioned, besides the State Papers, Cardwell, Strype, the Zurich Letters, Laud's Diary, Hooker, Heylin, Prynne, May, Clarendon, Baillie, Rushworth, and Cromwell; while among recent his torians I should like to express my great indebtedness to Dr. Hook's Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury, Mr. Perry's History of the Church of England, Dr'. Stoughton's History of Religion in England, Mr. Simpson's Life of Ca/mpion, and Mr. Barclay's interesting sketch of the Inner Life of the Religious Societies of the Commonwealth. For the reigns of James I. And Charles I. The assistance of Mr. Gardiner's History of England from the Accession of James I. Has been simply invaluable.
