Heaven upon Earth, or of True Peace and Tranquillitie of Mind (1606), reprinted with some of his letters in John Wesley's Christian Library, vol. iv. (1819)

It is the 16th of October and today is the day the Church remembers Nicholas Ridley, bishop, reformer and martyr. Ridley's family were not going to risk their son ending his life in a scrappy defense of the family's cattle, and so Nicholas was sent to school in Newcastle, where he excelled in Latin. In 1518, the year after Luther published his Ninety-Five thesis, the young Ridley came up to Cambridge and devoted himself to a life of learning and worship at Pembroke College. Hall's relationship to the stoicism of the classical age, exemplified by Seneca the Younger, is still debated, with the importance of neo-stoicism and the influence of the Flemish philosopher Justus Lipsius to his work being contested, in contrast to Christian morality. [2] Early life [ edit ]

In a sermon Columba Noæ of February 1624 (1623 Old Style) to Convocation, Hall gave a list or personal panorama of leading theologians of the Church of England. [10] In the same year he also refused the see of Gloucester: at the time English delegates to Dort were receiving preferment, since King James approved of the outcome. Hall was then involved as a mediator, taking an active part in the Arminian and Calvinist controversy in the English church, and trying to get other clergy to accept Dort. In 1627, he became Bishop of Exeter. [11] [12] charity (see below).

May God grant that we might be inspired by his faithful witness to Jesus Christ, and, being inspired, let us ask God to fill our hearts afresh with his Spirit of love, joy and peace, and to give us the grace to share that love with those we meet each day. In doing so, may our lives, like Ridley's life, point to our great advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. Amen. College Archives

In 1612, Edward Denny gave Hall the curacy of Waltham Holy Cross, Essex, and, in the same year, he received the degree of D.D. Later he received the prebend of Willenhall in St Peter's, the collegiate church of Wolverhampton, and, in 1616, he accompanied James Hay, Lord Doncaster to France, where he was sent to congratulate Louis XIII on his marriage, but Hall was compelled by illness to return. [3] In his absence, the king nominated him Dean of Worcester, and, in 1617, he accompanied James to Scotland, where he defended the Five Articles of Perth, five points of ceremonial which the king desired to impose upon the Scots.

The current circumstances did not allow for proper care of students who were ill. There was also a need to handle potential epidemics that are common among small college towns. [7] This created much irony as Bishop Hall was utilized as an infirmary, especially during the influenza epidemic of 1918. Robert Hamilton Bishop was the first President of Miami University (1824-1841). He also served as a Professor of Logic and Moral Philosophy and History. Bishop was admired by the students, but fell into much disagreement over many issues with the trustees, faculty, and public which led him to resign. Bishop remained on campus as a professor, but, as turmoil continued, was removed from campus entirely in 1844.
