JOHN CALVIN : LIFE, LEGACY AND THEOLOGY - PROF. M. M. NINAN England, was resolutely established by the end of the sixteenth century. Church of England was restored fully in 1660. In 1542 James V died; his only heir was the infant Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary, Queen of Scots, married Francois, heir to the French crown. The accession of the Protestant Elizabeth I to the throne of England gave the reformers renewed confidence. In Scotland a group known collectively as the "Lords of the Congregation", led by James Stewart, the illegitimate half brother of Mary, Queen of Scots took matters in hand . John Knox returned to Scotland and in St Andrews the army of the Lords of the Congregation stripped the altars, smashed the icons, destroyed the relics and whitewashed the walls of its churches over night. By 1560 the majority of the nobility supported the rebellion; a provisional government was established, the Scottish Parliament renounced the Pope's authority, and the mass was declared illegal. Scotland had officially become a Protestant country. It is sometimes suggested that the foundational theologians and preachers of the Protestant Reformation era, including John Calvin, were largely unaware of many of the disputed textual passages in the Greek New Testament. They used the printed editions of the Textus Receptus Greek New Testament out of necessity, convenience or ignorance rather than conviction. It is further suggested that many of the most significant textual disputes regarding the New Testament came to light only in the modern era, after the discovery and printing of uncial manuscripts (like Codex Sinaiticus) and papyri. Thus, it is assumed that if the Protestant Reformers had the information which we now have today they would eagerly embrace the modern critical text of the Greek New Testament. http://www.jeffriddle.net/2016/03/john-calvin-and-text-criticism.html 130

Many went to the Virginia colony, where the Anglican Church was established in the charter of 1606. Pilgrims (the separatists of their day) and Puritans made their way to what would become the Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colonies. The Pilgrims at Plymouth listened to the preaching of John Robinson, whose ideas of a totally autonomous local church were a strange brand of Calvinism for the time, but a natural outgrowth of Calvinistic principles. The Plymouth Plantation members adhered to devout obedience to the Scripture interpreted according to Calvinistic hermeneutical principles and courageous living trusting in the sovereign providence of God. 131
