All Hail to the Archpriest revisits the debates and disputes known
collectively in the literature on late sixteenth and early
seventeenth century England as the 'Archpriest controversy'. Peter
Lake and Michael Questier argue that this was an extraordinary
instance of the conduct of contemporary public politics and that,
in its apparent strangeness, it is in fact a guide to the ways in
which contemporaries negotiated the unstable later Reformation
settlement in England. The published texts which form the core of
the arguments involved in this debate survive, as do several caches
of manuscript material generated by the dispute. Together they tell
us a good deal about the aspirations of the writers and the
networks that they inhabited. They also allow us to retell the
progress of the dispute both as a narrative and as an instance of
contemporary public argument about topics such as the increasingly
imminent royal succession, late Elizabethan puritanism, and the
function of episcopacy. Our contention is that, if one takes this
material seriously, it is very hard to sustain standard accounts of
the accession of James VI in England as part of an almost seamless
continuity of royal government, contextualised by a virtually
untroubled and consensus-based Protestant account of the
relationship between Church and State. Nor is it possible to
maintain that by the end of Elizabeth's reign the fraction of the
national Church, separatist and otherwise, which regarded itself or
was regarded by others as Catholic, had been driven into
irrelevance.
