When Charles II returned to England in 1660, the surviving handful of bishops found themselves restored to their old sees while younger clergy who had weathered the Interregnum were elevated to the vacant ones. Peter Heylyn, whose works during the Personal Rule were examined in an earlier chapter, found himself once more holding a prebendall stall at Westminster Abbey. A firm advocate for the ‘beauty of holiness’, Heylyn had been vocal about east-end altars, rails, the use of vestments like the cope and figurative religious art. Unlike a number of other Laudians, Heylyn, now aged and almost blind, was not advanced to the episcopate. So while William Juxon was translated to Canterbury and men like John Cosin and Gilbert Sheldon were made bishops, Heylyn merely resumed his pre-war post in the abbey. Although he was dead within two years of Charles's return to England, this Westminster prebend wrote texts in the waning phase of the Interregnum and during the Restoration which not only implemented the historical strategies examined in much of this book but also shaped the very phenomena considered in the previous chapter, that is, the consolidation of the confessional tradition Anglicanism as the normative face of the established church largely through the perception that the Restoration religious project was merely the reassertion of an Elizabethan settlement.
