Abstract | This paper argues that proverbs provide valuable insights into popular opinion, in this case, in to the challenges and changes of reformed English religion. It builds a particular study of a celebrated proverb relating to the anticipated reign of 'King Henry IX', or Henry Prince of Wales (d.1612). Proverbial insights on this theme stand forth distinctively from many other proverbs circulating through Early Modern England, in having an easily identifiable provenance and context. This argument will pursue the meaning of a proverb relating to Prince Henry and the English Church, showing how proverbial wisdom functioned as a vehicle for anti-episcopal sentiments. |
