Talk:Good Old Cause

message: This article could easily be made a precise and clear explanation of its subject. It need not be exceedingly long, but its current lack of references, easily comprehensible sentences etc. means it could be drastically improved. -- Hestemand 10:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The above volume shows that "the good cause" was a term used by parliament during the civil war.

*Calvinism and Arminianism compared in their principles and tendency: vol. 2, by Laurence Womock, James Nichols, Published by Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green, 1824.  p. 778,779
on the 12th of May 1659, the Officers of the Army presented "their humble Petition and Address." The following extract from it will shew, that they were exceedingly jealous of a second Calvinistic attempt to infringe the religious liberty, (if such it may be called,) which they had long enjoyed, and from the benefits of which they still excepted their old enemies, Popery and Prelacy :—
After other observations of a similar tendency, these men of war, who considered themselves as well qualified to settle affairs of state as articles of religion, produced the following as the sixth FUNDAMENTALS  of the Good Old Cause:
These Fundamental preliminaries, more tolerant on the whole than those devised by Dr. Owen and his thirteen Calvinistic associates, possessed the advantage of being enforced by sword-logic, broad intimations of which are contained in the preceding extract.
Not only did the Fanatics in the army, from a selfish principle, prevent the imposition of the novel Fundamentals invented by Cromwell's fourteen divines; but "the sons of reason," the deistical members of the senate, Algernon Sidney, Harrington, Martin, and others who with less daring but with greater hypocrisy concealed their loose principles under the garb of a strict religious profession, all concurred in discountenancing this unwieldy and impracticable scheme of religious toleration.—Few men ever enjoyed such an opportunity of evincing the genuine catholicism of their sentiments, as " this Committee of Fourteen appointed to consider what were Fundamentals:" And there is not, I believe, an instance on record in which men of such vast professions more egregiously disap-, pointed the just expectations of their admirers. If enlarged ideas about religious toleration had existed in any of their breasts, they would have been displayed in one form or other while the religious tests were under discussion; but their sole anxiety in all the dehates seems to have been, to frame the terms of qualification for religious indulgence on as higoted a basis as possible, and to exclude all who did not admire the doctrine of Calvin.
