No one can think intelligently about the British Empire unless he
understands its ideational beginnings in the unquestioning belief
of Elizabethans and Jacobeans that, if they sought first to extend
the kingdom of God, all material blessings would be added to them.
Wright proves that the main propagandists of the idea of empire as
a divine mission were ships' chaplains, company preachers, and such
geographically minded clergymen as Hakluyt and Purchas. Originally
