Observations:

1. Shall we grow weary of examining Rev. (archdeacon) John Philpott of Winchester? Examination after examination? Here we are with part ten with 400 more pages to go. Well, Philpott spent a year and half in prison for the Reformed faith, so any complaints on our end are purely modern, empty, childish, Australian, English, American, and Canadian. What's on offer here is a real leader, a genuinely inspiring one.

2. We do coordinate this observation with that from Archbishop Grindal, to wit, in 1566, in a letter to Henry Bullinger, explaining that he and “all the others” embraced the Helvetic Confession." The RINO’s, or Reformed in Name Only, won’t want this too loudly published. The AC/Tractors will insist they belong to historic Anglicanism. They surely won’t want consistency and theological integrity. Enough. We’ll have more to say about ABC Grindal in the days ahead, Lord willing.

3. The examination—wearisome to all and probably to Philpott—resumes with Christopherson.
Poor Bonner is at it again, whining about Rome’s supremacy. Ludicrously and laughably, he cites Romans 1.8 to support his view: “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.” Philpott shreds this in a nano-second. It actually is pretty humourous, were it not so deadly. We've seen him at this in earlier exams. So it is pretty tedious, but the tedium coupled with the continuing stedfastness is quite instructive.

4. He’s standing and manfully resisting numerous leading bishops on theology. Sound like something that needs to be done from real men of the Reformed faith?

5. Philpott to Bonner and Christopherson: “It is a shame for you to wrest and writhe with the doctors as you to maintain a false religion; which be altogether against you, if you take them aright. And indeed your false packing of doctors together hath given me and others occasion to look upon them, whereby we find you shameful liars and misinterpreters of the ancient doctors.”

6. Let that one sink in. “False religion,” “false packing of doctors,” shameful liars” and “misinterpreters?” Will you hear that in the ACNA, Sydney, Packer, or the Virtual Windbag?

7. He’s chided by Chistopherson re: his use and understanding of Cyprian. Philpott replies: “I thank God, I understand them better than you: for you have the blindness of heart; so that you understand not truly what you read, nor more than the wall here, as the taking of Cyprian doth well declare. And afore God you are but deceivers of the people, for all your brag you make of learning; neither have ye scripture or ancient doctor on your side, truly taken.”

8. Again, sheer gold. “Blindness of heart?” No more understanding “than the wall here?” “Deceivers of the people?” Men who “brag?”

9. We can’t go one inch further. This is gold. Leadership. Insight. Courage. Resistance. Integrity. Principled leadership backed up with learning. Bonner’s use of Romans 1.8 for Petrine supremacy is howler! Did you catch it above? Let it sink in.

10. Philpott has expressed earlier that he knows his end: death. He's not selling anything. He's not looking for income streams from magazines, radio programs, books, conferences, net-working opportunities, or affirmation from others. "Acceptance by others" isn't Philpott's game. The bishops have repeatedly used the "numbers game," to wit, all of England is again st you (meaning the elite, not the abused sheep). Ever hear the "numbers game" played, as if St. Athanasius and St. John Philpott have nothing to teach us? He going to die. There's not one square of capitulation, accomodation, weakness, or fear in the man. Do such leaders exist today?

11. This scribe is a former Marine. We expect leadership; we're used to it; we love good leaders; when we transfer to civilian life, we'll follow them if they're good (and 95% of them were, estimating on the short end). We seen little principled consistency among Reformed leaders, including now Sydney. RINO's. "If your going to call yourself Protestant and Reformed Anglicans," then be one and be consistent. Disappointing? Yes. But, then there's Philpott. What would Philpott think of the AC/Tractarians in the ACNA? Good Lord, deliver us!

Correlation:

1. Continental Reformers. They all call Rome's Gospel false and "another Gospel."

2. Lutherans.

3. All the other English Reformers.

Interpretation:

Philpott genuinely stands the ground, yields not an inch, and provides a most respectable vision of Reformed, courageous, manly leadership.

Application:

1. Get more of this stuff out there. Tell the next generation.

2. Deal with the RINO’s, AINO’s, and LINO's (Reformed, Anglican and Lutheran in Name Only).

3. Follow good leaders like this one.

4. Continue to thank God for solid training in leadership learned from Marines. But this fella, Philpott, would inspire any U.S. Marine if told the story. Philpott apparently says little to modern American Anglicans, e.g. Romanism as a false religion, full of deceivers, braggarts, and liars.

English Reformer. Philpott (1511-1555): Tenacious in Combat

Part nine begins, 153.

The Examinations and Writing of John Philpott (Parker Society Series, 1842). Archdeacon of Winchester (1511-December 1555).

The Oxford Memorial to the Reformers martyred in England for the Reformed and biblical faith.

Newman, Pusey and Keble, in private correspondence, abhorred this monument. We reasonably infer that Mr. (bp.) Iker, Ackerman, Hewitt, and Schofield would also, if the "Reformed Faith" became the Confessional core of the ACNA.

Observations:

1. Another examination—the poor archdeacon of Winchester, John Philpott, is being examined near unto death, as it were. Over and over and over. One can hear the thoroughly modern argument, "C'mon, old boy, just go along to get along. We can get this over in short order. No need for this doctrine. We've got the numbers and everyone else on our side. C'mon good man!"

2. Chichester takes to correcting Philpott re: Augustine and the Donatists. Philpott responds: “And St. Augustine speaketh of such as were thoroughly persuaded by manifest scriptures, and yet would resist of stubborn willfulness.”

3. Additional exhortation to comply with the “catholic faith” (=Papist) is enjoined.

4. Philpott: “I am of the same catholic faith…” (= Reformed). This is why Reformed Churchmen do not surrender the term "Catholic."

5. Chichester to the other bishops: “…but he meaneth otherwise than you do…” This old go-around is getting tiring.

6. Durham and the numbers-game: “…will you believe as we do, and all the learned of the realm, or no…and be of one church with us?”

7. Philpott then lectures on the “true church and false church.” He notes that Abel and Cain were in the same church, with one slaying the other. He points 10 of 12 tribes that were the attached, false church. God cut off the false appendage. The implication is clear. Papistry, Romery, and Romanism is a "false church." Committed to the biblical Gospel, every Reformer, held this. It was true then. It's more so today. One can hear modern objections, to wit, "We can't say that any longer in light of the ecumenical discussions, not to mention our pluralistic context. These are just exaggerated statements of these beseiged Reformers." We think not.

8. Chichester: that is true in the OT, but not in the NT.

9. Philpott: Judas in the NT. Simon Magus. Two churches when Paul mentions the antichrist in Thessalonians with a false generation.

10. Durham concedingly: the church is a fisher’s net with good and bad fishes.

11. London (Bonner): Accuses Philpott of saying that the Holy Spirit is Christ’s Vicar on earth.
Christopherson (a friend of Philpott’s from earlier years when in Rome together) interrogates Philpott: “I marvel why you should dissent from the true catholic church since it hath thus long universally been received, except within these five or six years here in England.)

Interpretation:

The Romanists are working hard to get Philpott to repent of his Reformed ways. The Reformed faith of the English Reformed Church was established by courageous and principled men, grounded in the Supreme Word of God and also by men well-schooled in patrology. If we see anything here, it is Philpott’s tenacity. That’s how reformation wars are won and fought.

Part nine ends.

http://books.google.com/books?id=WhT67MqcFDIC&pg=PA319&dq=examinations+and+writings+of+john+philpott+parker+society&lr=&as_brr=1.
Observations:

1. The eleventh examination of (archdeacon) John Philpott (Winchester) begins and it’s a real show of elites.

2. Beside John Philpott we read of Bishops from Durham (N.T. Wright’s see), Chichester, Bath, London (our old friend Bonner), and Bath. Additionally, th Prolocutor, Master Christopherson, Dr. Chedsey, Master Morgan of Oxford, Master Hussey of the Arches, Dr. Weston, Dr. Harpsfield, Master Cosins (??), Master Johnson, and the registrar to the Bishop of London.

3. Time: St. Andrew’s Day, 1555.

4. Place: Bonner’s place, the palace. Real big and real rich.

5. Durham asks: “…will you now be a conformable man to the catholic faith, and leave all new fangled opinions and heresies? I wis [PV, sic], I was in Germany with Luther at the beginning of these opinions, and can tell how they begain. Leave them, and follow the catholic church throughout the whole world, as the whole realm now doth.”

6. We’ve seen the “numbas” or “numbers” argument used in earlier examinations by Bonner. The sense is: “Look, good man, the whole world is against you, recant man!” We’ve seen Philpott’s earlier and marvelous rejoinders. This is old ground for us, but new in this post.

7. It’s the same argument used by evangelicals, “Look, this is how church growth occurs, by diluting the message…`Let’s all love Jesus and forget the clear propositions in Scripture…then we can sign ECT.’” We get the same with Virtue’s enthusiasms with the ACNA, “Look, here’s where the `numbas’ are...Forget about the sovereign Bible.” These "numbas" arguments are quite common and exercise alot of influence today. It's the underlying principle of mega church thinking and CCM. That principle of the "numbas" isn't..again it isn't... Luther at Worms. It’s not Philpott throughout.

8. A wonderful response by Winchester’s archdeacon, Philpott: “My lord, I am in the catholic faith, and desire to live and die in the same. But it is not unknown to your lordship, that I with others these twenty years have been taught another manner of faith than you now go about to compel us unto: wherefore it is requisite that we have a time to weigh the same, and to hear how it agreeth with God’s word; for faith is at a sudden neither won, neither removed, but, as St. Paul saith, `Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word.”

Part Eight concluded. DV, to be continued.

Photo from Winchester Cathedral where Philpott was an archdeacon. He surrenders his life for the Reformed faith in England. We can't rely on much from centres of delusional and amnesiacal Anglican advertisements and reports. Not all, but most.

http://books.google.com/books?id=WhT67MqcFDIC&pg=PA319&dq=examinations+and+writings+of+john+philpott+parker+society&lr=&as_brr=1.
Observations:

1. The tenth trial exam before Bonner (bp. of London), his registrar, Dr. Chedsey, “two homely gentlemen,” and others.

2. Bonner puts before all the “Catechism” from Edward’s day and the “conclusions” agreed to at Oxford and Cambridge before Mary's reign. These were some of the articles put against (archdeacon) John Philpott. Although not stated at this point, Philpott had given them his assent. Further, that Philpott has despised recent instruction and censures from Bonner.

3. Bonner rails on Philpott for refusing to attend Mass.

4. Philpott was “excommunicated” for “twelvemonth and a half” (sic). 18 months? We read earlier that he had been in prison for twelve months. (You know any Reformed men today, Professors included, who've done jail time for their faith? This is why we read the old masters.)

5. Philpott continues to object that Bonner has no jurisdiction in the case, but rather his ordinary (Winchester). What he fails, perhaps, to appreciate is that he was brought to London under Mary’s governance, the sovereign in Erastian England. Philpott wants his objection noted and put into the registry. This trumps any jurisdictional appeals to Winchester.

6. This goes back and forth between Bonner and Philpott. It's quite tedious to read, but that is instructive, to wit, illustrating the absolute hatred of the Balaamites for the Catholic and Reformed faith.

7. Philpott continues his unflattering use of the term “Balaamite” for Anti-christ.

8. The examination ends, but he is brought back the following day to Bonner.

9. The persistency by the Balaamites attests to the high prize Philpott would have been had he recanted. This is 1555 and there will be more who will stand on the Catholic faith of the Reformers.

Correlations:

1. All the other English Reformers by 1555, including Lutherans and Continental Reformers.

2. The Anglo-clucks in the ACNA or semi-Balaamites like Mr. (bp.)Iker and his enablers, like our Windbagging puffer and that consummate compromiser, Mr (bp.) Leonard Wayne Riches. Neither of them are of "the stuff" of this English Reformer.

3. Exegetical review of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. The Balaamites die in this epistle.

The status of discussions in the Council of Trent, 1555.

Interpretation

Bonner has “his target” and is tenacious in attempting to nail (archdeacon) John Philpott of Winchester. No question about it.

To be continued, Lord enabling.

Part Seven concluded.

English Reformed/Martyr: Archdeacon John Philpott (1511-1555), Scriptures. Lord's Supper

Observations, starting at page 146:

Ninth examination continued.

1. Philpott notes how when he and Master Harpsfield (an interrogator) were at Oxford, they were both given to vain-gloriousness in debate and argument. They sought glory more than truth. Some things never change.

2. Harpsfield’s rejoinder: “What! Will your think yourself better learned than all the learned men in this realm?”

3. Philpott: “My faith hangeth not upon the learned of the world,, but upon the learned of God’s word.” (147)

4. Hoc est corpus meum comes to view. Harpsfield says shows the substance of the bread. By the word of the priest and the omnipotence of God, it is turned into the “substance of Christ’s very body.”

5. Philpott argues that “Christ’s body receiveth daily a great increase of many thousand pieces of bread into his body, and that in his body become now, which was not before; and by this you would seem to make that there is an alteration in Christ’s glorified body, which is a wicked thing to think.” (148)

6. Harpsfield, contrary to Lateran Council, 1215, says: “…that the substance of bread, after the words spoken by the priest, was evacuated, or vanished away, by the omnipotency of God.” Philpott highlights Harpsfield's contradiction with his sponsor, Rome.

7. Philpott. This is contrary to his Word and honour. “It is not God’s honour to include him bodily into a piece of bread, and of necessity tie him thereto. It is not God’s honour for you to make a piece of break God and man, which you see before your face doth putrify after a certain time….”

8. Philpott on bread worship: “`Hear ye, gaze ye, knock ye, worship ye, offer ye, sacrifice ye for the quick and the dead.’ If this be not blasphemy to God and his sacraments, to add and pluck away in this sort, and that contrary to the mind of all ancient writers, and contrary to the example of Christ and all his apostles, tell me.”

9. The tenth examination ends with Philpott headed back to jail. We’ll continue that next time.

Observations on observations:

1. These examinations keep going over the same matters, e.g. the Mass, the Lord’s body and blood with the bread, omnipotency of God, and priestly power at consecration.

2. Who has Philpott been reading? His relationship with other Reformers? What does he know about the 1549 and 1552 Books of Common Prayer?

Correlations:

1. Role of other Reformers in Philpott’s thinking. England, Netherlands, Switzerland, Wittenberg.

2. True or historic views of Elizabeth, Parker, Bacon, and Cecil in relation to the “Black Rubric.” Why did Elizabeth in her early months “direct” that the “Elevation” not be practiced in her Royal Chapel, following (bp.) Oglethorp’s defiance of this order at a Christmas Service. Why did she leave the service when Oglethorp did this.

3. Political and national concerns in 1559-1570 and the relationship to political exegesis.

4. Another reference to sola scriptura. We call it the Philpott-principle, an answer he has been giving repeatedly.

Interpretation.

Philpott appears to be Reformed and Continental in his views on the Table, something he did not learn by sitting under Continental Reformers. Philpott never got out of England as did hundreds of other expats during Mary’s reign. He's burned in December, 1555. Yet, the influence is here. Bucer? Vermigli? Ridley? Cranmer?

Application.

1. Continue digging.

2. Read widely. Details like this don't get wide notice in the zoo of American Anglicanism.

To be continued.

English Reformer & Martyr: John Philpott (1511-1555)

Part Five continued.

http://books.google.com/books?id=WhT67MqcFDIC&pg=PA319&dq=examinations+and+writings+of+john+philpott+parker+society&lr=&as_brr=1.
Observations:

1. We’ve been following the repeated examinations of Archdeacon John Philpott before Bp. Bonner
We now have the “eighth examination” of Philpott, otherwise kept in jail. He Bishop of London (Bonner), the Bishop of St. David’s, Master Mordant, and others in the bishop’s chapel.

2. Philpott calls the Romanists “Balaamites,” a reference to the ancient pagan prophet Balaam who lived at Pethor, a city in northern Mesopotamia on the banks of the Euphrates River. Balak would call on this false and pagan prophet to curse the conquering Israelites. Balaam’s ass has a high spiritual I.Q. than Balaam. Some things never change. Cf. Numbers 22-24 for this historic, classical and humorous story.

3. The articles of accusation against Philpott are read again (for the umpteenth time). Bonner claims—again—that Philpott is stubborn and speaks “against the blessed sacrament of the altar.” Of course, as with Ridley, the Table issue is an entre pot to all the larger questions of the magisterial reformation.

4. A rather rancorous set of exchanges occurs, to wit, Bonner accusing and Philpott protesting the lawlessness of the proceeding, e..g. only allowing Philpott limited responses of “two or three words” to direct, close-ended questions like answer “yes or no.”

5. The “ninth examination.” Bishop Bonner and his chaplains are on hand. It’s hard to extrapolate what Bonner’s intentions were. He’s already heard Philpott’s Reformed views. It’s almost like he wants a “confession of errors” as a claim to success...as a notch on his rochet and mitre. "One more bites the dust." Philpott won't bite the dust but will inhale the fumes of his own burning body in 1555, compliments of Roman affections and God's love. Philpott on this particular morning must wait till Bonner has finished morning mass prior to the exam.

6. Bonner re-reads the articles. We’re told that Philpott sat back and looked out the window until they were concluded. Philpott responds: “I am neither wedded to mine own will, neither stand upon mine own stubbornness or singularity, but upon my conscience instructed by God’s word; and if your lordship can shew better evidence than I have for a good faith, I will follow the same.” (140) Sounds like Luther at the Diet of Worms. Sounds like Peter Akinola’s curt response to Canterbury on gays and Rome's recent offer of "oversight": “Nigeria won't being going that way. I preach the Bible. We have biblical theology.”

7. Philpott observes that the Papists can argue and subdue only “such as be unlearned and for lack of knowledge not able to answer.” That still obtains for today.

These are observations on exam eight and most of nine. Now for our observations about the observations, with a few closing applications.

1. Bonner is quite persistent, as are Romanists today in arguing for submission to themselves on their terms. Liberal, mainline ecumenicalists from the Protestant side have consistently been slapped in the face by the “my-way-only” approach of Rome. Reading the Reformation literature is an excellent preservative against modern amnesia.

2. Philpott’s testimony is every bit as strong as Luther’s at the Diet of Worms. Yet, Philpott is a long-forgotten name in history. Anglicans go, “Huh?!” Anglicans actually have their own Reformed martyrs. Can't I just get along with a nice secondary work like Stephen Neill's Anglicanism? Anglicanism is full of Baalamites today.

3. Anglicans are not taught their history. The Parker Society series is not required reading in their seminaries, while Newman is at Hashotah House.

4. Philpott uses an excellent name for Romanists. “Balaamites.”

Applications:

1. Keep reading. Otherwise, you’d be misled by the modern voices, like the site of “Global Windbaggery of Heterdox Anglicanism.” (http://www.virtueonline.org/)

2. Be thankful. You’ve got an education that has preserved you from the revisionists. Can you imagine having been instructed only by the Anglican revisionists? Thanks, but no thanks. Can you, your wife, or your children--God forbid--imagine getting your catechesis from Jack Leo Iker, Keith Ackerman or others of that ilk?

3. Help younger folks. Warn them. Teach the Bible. Tell the stories of history and the fathers of old. Psalm 44.1-8. Push back and don't apologize. They won't get the theology of these Reformers from these Manglophiles.

4. Steer folks away from the ACNA.

5. Steer folks away from the Windbag of Virtual Disorientation.
