章节摘录

　　Charles wished to move the Church of England away from Calvinism in a moretraditional and sacramental direction. This goal was shared by his main politicaladviser, Archbishop William Laud. Laud was appointed by Charles as the Archbishopof Canterbury in 1633, and started a series of unpopular reforms in an attempt toimpose order and authority on the church.　　Laud attempted to ensure religious uniformity by dismissing non-conformistclergymen and closing Puritan organizations. This was actively hostile to the reformedtendencies of many of his English and Scottish subjects. His policy was obnoxious toCalvinist theology. Laud was also an advocate of Arminian theology, which wasviewed as heretical and virtually "Catholic" by strict Calvinists.　　When Charles attempted to impose his religious policies in Scotland he facednumerous difficulties. The King ordered the use of a new prayer book modelled on theEnglish Book of Common Prayer, which, although supported by the Scottish Bishops,was resisted by many Presbyterian Scots, who saw the new prayer book as a vehicle forintroducing Anglicanism to Scotland. When the General Assembly of the Church ofScotland abolished Episcopalian government （governance of the Church by bishops） in1638, replacing it with Presbyterian government （governance by elders and deacons）,Charles sought to put down what he saw as a rebellion against his authority.　　In 1639, when the First Bishops War broke out, Charles sought to collect taxesfrom his subjects, who refused to yield any further. Charless war ended in ahumiliating truce in June of the same year. In the Pacification of Berwick, Charlesagreed to grant his Scottish subjects civil and ecclesiastical freedoms. Charless militaryfailure in the First Bishops War in turn caused a financial and military crisis for him.
