First sentence: Writing of the earlier seventeenth century, Christopher Hill notes that the Church 'guided all the movements of men from baptism to the burial service ... the Church controlled men's feelings and told them what to believe ... this is why men took notes at sermons' (1959, pp. 10-11).
