HIGH CHORCH AND LOW CHUHCH. 



A Universal History of Party ; with the Origin 

 of Party Names* would form an acceptable addi- 

 tion to literary history : " N. & Q." has contributed 

 towards such a work some disquisitions on our 

 party names Whig and Tory^ and The Good Old 

 Cause. Such names as Puritan, Malignant, Evan- 

 gelical f, can be traced up to their first commence- 

 ment, but some obscurity hangs on the mintage- 

 date of the numes we are about to consider. 



As a matter of fact, the distinction of HigJt 

 Church and Low Church always existed in the 

 Reformed Enolish Church, and the history of these 

 parties would be her history. But the names were 

 not coined till the close of the seventeenth cen- 

 tury, and were not stamped in full relief as party- 

 names till the fii-st year of Queen Anne's reign. 



In October, 1702, Anne's first Parliament and 

 Convocation assembled : 



" Fro;n the disputes in Convocation at this period, 

 the appellations High Church and Low Church originated, 

 and they were afterwards used to distinguish the clergy. 

 It is singular that the bishops |: were ranked among

 Rise of the Wliig mid Tory Factions Chas. II. to the 

 Passing of the Reform Bill, by G. W. Cooke : Lond.

 limited in scope.

|: It is not so very "singular," when we remember 

 that the bishops were what Lord Campbell and Mr. 

 Macaulny call "judiciously chosen" by William. On 

 tiiis point a cotemporary remarks, " Some steps have 

 been made, and large ones too, towards a Scotch re- 

 formation, by suspending and ejecting the chief and 

 most zealous of our bishops, and others of the higher
