Gavin at Ely Cathedral, England, Dec. 08. Under the tyranny of the illegal Solemn League and Covenant, 14 January 1644 was the first Sunday set by the Puritan regime for its closure; and King James Bible translator John Boyce was a Prebendary of Ely. He knew on that coming Sunday the Puritan regime would shut tight the doors of Ely Cathedral to Anglicans, and under this stress, on that same day, he did lay down, and die; and his soul was carried by the angels to God and his heavenly rest.		Picture of College Court, Royal Chelsea Hospital, Nov. 2008. KJV translator, Daniel Featly, a holy confessor was persecuted by Puritans for being a Royalist Anglican. After a Puritan attempt to kill him, & imprisonment, when very ill he was released on bail & lived here just before his 1645 death at what was then Chelsea College. (See Volume 3 Dedication & Sermon.)
Gavin pointing to a civil war canon ball in St. John Baptist’s Anglican Church at Membury (near Axminster), England, Dec. 08. From the tower of this church, a large oak bough is annually hung on Oak Apple Day, and villagers gather in 1660s costume dress for a parade, in which one villager, dressed as Charles II, gives a speech.		Gavin in front of “Cromwell House,” Dec. 08, where according to local tradition Oliver Cromwell stayed after he threw up siege works (still visible) and assaulted Marsh Gibbon in Oxfordshire. A church service has been held on Oak Apple Day in the local Anglican Church of St. Mary’s, in unbroken tradition since the 1660s.
Gavin at Staunton Harold, Leicestershire, England. Interregnum built 1653 Anglican Church, whose inscription over door says it was built “when all things sacred were throughout this nation either demolished or profaned.” Dec. 08 Leicestershire is centred around Leicester where in 1645 the unconverted Roundhead soldier, John Bunyan, witnessed the Royalist Cavaliers liberate Leicester from republican Roundheads.		Gavin at statue of Pilgrim’s Progress author, John Bunyan, Bedford (Feb. 2003). Both before and after his conversion between 1650-55, he was seemingly complacent about the denial of religious freedom to Anglicans from 1643 to 1660 under the Solemn League and Covenant; although after the Restoration, he was one of those Puritans who were in turn tragically denied religious freedom till 1689.

Held by republican Roundheads it was disloyal in the civil war, and in 1662 it was razed by order of Charles II. The area behind Gavin drops into a recess, used by “him that pisseth against the wall” (I Kgs 14:10). … Such is the ending of the Roundhead’s Castle!

Rector of St. Matthew’s Windsor (Aleks Pinter), at the Lectern at a 1662 Book of Common Prayer Service on King Charles I’s Day, Sunday 30 Jan., 2011. Cranmer’s 1552 prayer book was taken away by Papists under Bloody Mary, and revived as a symbol of Protestantism in 1559; then made “illegal” under the Puritan republic in 1645, and again revived in 1662. The eagle lectern is the type Puritan republican revolutionaries claimed were “idols” when in 1643 they vandalized one at Peterborough Cathedral, England. In the background a stained-glass window with the AV’s words “Follow me,” depicts when “Matthew” “arose” from “the receipt of custom” (Matt. 9:9), and reminds us Puritan Roundheads smashed stained-glass windows at e.g., Winchester & Norwich Cathedrals. The Minister is in a surplice, reminding us that in “the surplice controversies,” Puritans stole Anglican surplices from an Oxford University Chapel & profanely and irreverently cast them into a toilet pit.

(See Volume 3 Dedication.)
The 1552 Edwardian prayer book of the Marian martyr, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer (d. 1556), was taken away by Papists because of its Protestantism from 1553 to 1558, and revived as a symbol of Protestantism in the 1559 Elizabethan prayer book; and Cranmer’s Elizabethan & Jacobean prayer book of 1559 & 1604 was made “illegal” because of its Anglicanism under the Puritan republic from 1645 to 1660, and revived as a symbol of Anglican Protestantism in the 1662 Caroline prayer book.

Communion Table, St. Matthew’s Windsor, Easter 5, Royal Oak Day, 29 May 2011. The rubric of the 1662 prayer book refers to the Minister in an eastward facing church “standing at the north side of the Table” at The Communion Service, and from this “north side” reference point at the consecration “standing before the Table” and hence facing south so that his actions of consecration in which he is to “break the bread” are “before the people” i.e., they can be clearly seen by the people. By contrast, the earlier practice of the priest standing in the middle of the Communion Table with his back to the people meant his actions were not “before the people.” Hence the old Romish priests the middle of the so called ‘altar’ (which is in fact no ‘altar’ at all)” having so turned their backs to the people at the Roman Mass, then elevated or lifted up the bread in order for it to be idolatrously adored by the congregation;		In harmony with the Biblical teaching of Cranmer’s Protestant prayer book of 1552 as preserved for us in the 1662 prayer book, there is no so called ‘altar’ in the church, but rather a Table, known by such names as, “The Lord’s Table” (I Cor. 10:21), “the Table,” “the holy Table,” “the Chancel Table,” or “the Communion Table. “The Table at the Communion time having a fair white linen cloth upon it,” “in the Chancel,” i.e., the area at the church’s east side behind the Communion rail where Communicants kneel on the cushions to receive Communion; & the Minister (Rev. Mr. Aleks Pinter) “standing at the north side of the Table” (BCP rubric), 29 May, 2011.
but this practice was done away with under Protestantism since, “The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was not by Christ’s ordinance … lifted up, or worshipped”, and “The visible Church of Christ is a congregation of faithful men, in the which the pure Word of God is preached, and the Sacraments be duly administered according to Christ’s ordinance …” (Articles 27 & 19, Anglican 39 Articles). For “no adoration … ought to be done, either unto the sacramental bread or wine … for that were idolatry to be abhorred of all faithful Christians …” (Final Rubric, Communion Service, 1662 Book of Common Prayer).
