Word: vestiarian Part of Speech: noun Etymology: See vestiary. Pronunciation: /ˌvɛs.tɪˈɛəɹi.ən/, /ˌvɛs.tɪˈɛɹi.ən/ 1. During the vestiarian controversy, a supporter of the wearing of vestments by the clergy (as opposed to an anti-vestiarian who considered the wearing of vestments a form of idolatry). Labels: historical Example: Throughout his even career of promotion there is only one single wayward note [the signing of the petition for leniency toward the vestiarians at Cambridge in 1566 —see abte., ppp. 15-16]; Example: However, instead of trying to classify puritans according to their opinions ( vestiarians, presbyterians, etc.) as previous historians have tended to do, Dr Collinson suggests that it is more useful to recognize the existence of two conflicting strains within puritanism which were there from the beginning and which together explain both the widespread popularity of puritan thinking and the comparative weakness of puritanism as a political force. 2.
