Incoming to Westminster it was his policy to use his newly acquiredpower to break down the Puritan party in both kingdoms and to fastenepiscopacy upon Scotland. In pursuing this policy he took no heed ofEnglish national sentiment, but was quite ready to defy and insult it, even to the point of making--before children who remembered the Armadahad yet reached middle age--an alliance with the hated Spaniard. In suchwise James succeeded in arraying against the monarchical principle thestrongest for...ces of English life, --the sentiment of nationality, thesentiment of personal freedom, and the uncompromising religious fervourof Calvinism; and out of this invincible combination of forces has beenwrought the nobler and happier state of society in which we live to-day. [Sidenote: James Stuart and Andrew Melville] Scarcely ten months had James been king of England when he invitedthe leading Puritan clergymen to meet himself and the bishops in aconference at Hampton Court, as he wished to learn what changes theywould like to make in the government and ritual of the church.
