John Knox

A two-volume collection of speeches from many diffferent sources throughout England's history; said speeches delivered in public life, and arranged more or less in chronological order. Volume 1 runs from the Reformation to the American Revolution.

"To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion, or empire above any realm, nation, or city, is repugnant to nature, contumely to God, a thing most contrarious to his revealed will and approved ordinance, and finally, it is the subversion of good order, of all equity and justice."John Knox's classic treatment of the authority of women in the civil sphere has been freshly typeset for the modern age. Setting out his position that female rule was ordinarily contrary to nature, Knox brings in Scriptural and historical proofs in order to make his case forcefully and powerfully.

John Knox published this pamphlet against women in power at a time when the development of the Reformation was being hindered by Mary Tudor and Marie of Lorraine. The exiled preacher uses all his knowledge and skills. His literary originality is affirmed by the alliance between the sermon and the debate.
