5 It may well be that this vision of the church and of the Christian community predated the critique or rejection of Calvinism described by Tyacke, and that it was the incompatability of that vision with Calvinism that caused the reaction detailed by Tyacke. For an attempt to see the emergence of this view of the visible church and true religion in the 1590s, primarily in the work of Richard Hooker, see Lake, P., Anglicans and Puritans?
