[397] Warburton imagined that there was a political feeling coupled with this scruple. Such a principle, pursued through its necessary deductions, leading to a reformation of _Civil_ government on _Jewish_ ideas. Alliance of Church and State, book i. sect. 4. note.

There may be something of high colouring in this picture of spoliation; for Heylyn (who dedicates to Charles II.) had, as is well known, a strong anti-puritan bias, which is particularly apparent in the unfavourable complexion he gives to Edward’s reign in general, and in the unfair, though self-contradictory, terms, in which he speaks of his individual character: indeed, so strangely is he sometimes at variance with himself on this subject, that he might almost be thought to have written for one set of readers and revised for another. Still the weakness of a minority is seen at this period--the more so after the rule of a Henry--solitaque jugum gravitate carebat. [413] Fox. ii. 707. [414] Strype’s Cranmer, 313. [415] Id. 360.
