Woodford's diary, here published in full for the first time with an
introduction, provides a unique insight into the puritan psyche and
way of life. Woodford is remarkable for the consistency of his
worldview, interpreting all experience through the spectacles of
godly predestinarianism. His journal is a fascinating source for
the study of opposition to the Personal Rule of Charles I and its
importance in the formation of Civil War allegiance, demonstrating
that the Popish Plot version of politics, held by parliamentary
opposition leaders in the 1620s, had by the 1630s been adopted by
provincial people from the lower classes. Woodford went further
than some of his contemporaries in taking the view that, even
before the outbreak of the Bishops' Wars, government policies had
discredited episcopacy, and cast grave doubt on the king's
religious soundness. Conversely, he regarded parliament as the seat
of virtue and potential saviour of the nation.
