PROTESTANTS.
The Protestants in England, as on the Continent, were early divided into
two great parties, known as Lutherans and Gospellers, or
Consubstantiaries and Sacramentaries. These were nearly equivalent to
the modern High Church (not Ritualistic) and Evangelical parties. There
was yet a further division, at a later period, by the formation of a
third sect known as Hot Gospellers, the direct ancestors of the
Puritans. Without bearing these facts in mind, it is scarcely possible
to enter into the politics of the period. Many who began as Lutherans
ended as Gospellers: e.g., Cranmer, Somerset, Katherine Duchess of
Suffolk. Some remained Lutherans for life, e.g., Queen Katherine Parr,
Queen Elizabeth. And there were a few who never were Lutherans at all,
of whom the representative is Latimer. The enmity between Somerset and
Northumberland had a religious origin, Somerset being a Gospeller, and
Northumberland professedly a Lutheran. It may be added that the
Gospellers were as a rule Calvinists, the Lutherans Arminians.
