Synopsis
Excerpt from A True Historical Relation of the Conversion of Sir Tobie Matthew: To the Holy Catholic Faith; With the Antecedents and Consequences Thereof
Tobie should not visit either Italy or Spain. He agreed to these conditions, without intending to abide by them. In after life he expressed deep contrition for this act of duplicity. On 3 July, 1604, he sailed for France, but within a few weeks returned secretly to England, for what purpose is uncertain. His life up to this period was that of a: gallant and a courtier, much of his time being devoted to pleasure and dissipation. Early in 1605 he again started for France, this time continuing his journey to Florence, where he submitted to the Catholic Church. The True Historicall Relation of his sentiments on that occasion is what is here printed at length for the first time. During his imprisonment in the Fleet, Bacon, who was at that period strongly prejudiced against Catholicism, endeavoured to persuade him to abandon the Faith he had embraced at Florence. Finding his arguments powerless to influence Tobie, he ceased to employ them, but continued to exhibit the same regard and esteem for him as before, and showed his appreciation of Tobie''s literary judg ment by submitting various literary compositions for his opinion, a practice he continued to the end.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and conversion of Sir Tobie Matthew, a prominent figure in 17th century England. Matthew, the son of a prominent Protestant bishop, was a highly educated and successful man, a courtier and Member of Parliament. However, despite his privileged upbringing, he was deeply troubled by the religious conflicts of his time. The author recounts Matthew's journey from a life of worldly pleasures to a profound embrace of the Catholic faith. The book explores Matthewââ â¢s travels to Italy, particularly Florence, where he experienced a life-altering conversion. The author reveals the details of Matthewââ â¢s journey, his encounters with prominent figures like Francis Bacon and Father Persons, and his interactions with Catholic clergy and intellectuals. The author lays out Matthewââ â¢s understanding of religious doctrine, his intellectual debates with influential figures, and his ultimately profound commitment to his newfound faith. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and intellectual landscape of the early modern period. The author reveals the struggles of a man torn between his family's Protestant beliefs and his own deep yearning for the Catholic faith. Matthew's story highlights the deeply personal and intellectual nature of religious conversion and the complex social and political forces that shaped religious identity in 17th-century England.
