Abstract: Many years ago a contributor to the Dublin Review wrote about the XV century: “ This epoch was an eclipse—a very Egyptian darkness; worse than Chaos or Erebus—black as the thick preternatural night under which Our Lord was crucified ”.I Had this statement been true it would have been easy to account for the Reformation. It is false, and the Reformation has still to be explained.

In this chapter it should become clear how, in spite of wickedness and superstition, there was a popular religion—real, sincere and active. There have never been any good old times; but in reviewing the past it is possible to overestimate our superior enlightenment.
