Reformed Historical Theology : Volume 86 : Episcopalian or Presbyterian? : Cornelius Burgess (1589?-1665) on Church Government

---

Outline : While many studies have labeled Cornelius Burgess either an Episcopalian for a Presbyterian depending on the period of his life, this study challenges that binary. By using his early sermon manuscripts never before analyzed by scholars, the study reveals a more consistent and principled view of church government. Burgess believed that no single form -- whether Episcopacy or Presbyterianism -- was divinely required. Instead, he held that bishops and presbyters shared the same ministerial order, especially in preaching and spiritual authority. Burgess's non iure divino approach allowed him to move between systems without abandoning his core convictions. Drawing from archival sources, this work repositions Burgess as a key voice in seventeenth-century debates on how the church should be governed.
