The 532 letters that are published in this volume come from the extensive correspondence that was received from people in Lincolnshire parishes by John Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln between 1827 and 1853. They are important because theyexpress the opinions and reflect the attitudes of lay people as well as clergymen: Kaye's correspondents ranged from members of the landed gentry to people who would usually have little direct contact with the bishop. They included a 'troublesome', 'deceptious' and 'pugnacious' village carrier disputing the fees charged for burial in his local churchyard, as well as the farmer who complained of the 'hill usige' that he had 'ricivid from the viker' of hisparish. The correspondence reflects Kaye's work as a Church reformer, but it is also important for the way that it demonstrates the changing significance of the Church in the lives of local communities. The extent to which the Church and its affairs were the means through which the social relations of parishes were articulated and sustained was a measure of the continuing importance of the establishment.

Excerpt from The Divine Warning: The Church: Of Our Enemies, Dangers and Duties, and Our Future Prospects The design of this work is to assist my fellow-Christians in guarding against the many temptations to which we are now specially exposed, by laying before them those scriptural warnings which God has provided for our use at this time. Our only safety is in taking heed to our way according to God's word. This is the true lamp to our feet. May we all walk in its light ourselves, and then shine as lights in the world, "holding forth the word of life." The chief part of the present work has already had a circulation of about 9,000 copies. It seemed to the Author desirable (while the original work continues to be sold by the Protestant Association), considerably to enlarge it with such farther practical views as the continued remark able signs of the times have suggested, and to print it in the same size as his other works. For this purpose, Parts III., IV., and VI., have been added to this work: they have already been, in part, separately published, but are here extended, and the statements brought down to the present time. The present state of the world may seem to some to be such, as to make it unseasonable and unsuitable to give warning of danger. It is a Time of Universal Peace.
