Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Puritans So Englishmen had at last flown at each other's throats, bulldog fashion the modern spirit had risen against the medieval spirit; shopkeeper, trades man, and mechanic were in arms against noble and professional soldier. On one side the passionate devotion of feudal times to a great central figure, the King, allied to an intense reverence for externals in religion, with its licence to live as one listed provided due tithe was paid to Mother Church on the other, a clogged desire to choose for one's self the most desirable form of Government, to pay no impost without knowing why, and to worship as a man would: these gigantic forces arrayed against each other had rent the realm in twain.
