A dramatic shift took place in the battle to recover the life and order of the New Testament church in England during the 1590s and onwards. Since the conforming Puritans had largely given up the fight, in the main it was left to the despised and persecuted Separatists to carry it on – it was they who now ‘took up the weapons against the established Church as the Puritans were dropping them. The vestment controversy had worn itself out. The old leaders of it were dead or had conformed’. Thus the conforming Puritans drew back from the struggle, leaving the field to be occupied by the Separatists. As I have explained, those Puritans who conformed devoted themselves to preaching – and they did it very effectively. But the fact is they gave up the struggle to obtain a truly reformed church. The Separatists did not.
