EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut titled "Title page for A Purge for Pluralities" takes us back to 17th century England, shedding light on a controversial religious practice of the time. Printed for F. Cowles, T. Bates, and T. Banks in 1642, this print serves as a scathing criticism of the widespread habit of holding multiple benefices within the Church. During this period, it was not uncommon for clergy members to hold more than one endowed Church office simultaneously, allowing them to enjoy multiple sources of income. However, this engraving challenges such practices by highlighting their inherent flaws and moral implications. With intricate details and symbolism woven into its composition, the image showcases a puritanical figure surrounded by various churches and buildings representing different benefices held by individuals. The satire is evident as it exposes the greed and excesses associated with clergymen who sought personal gain rather than spiritual devotion. It is important to note that although pluralities were not officially outlawed until 1838 with the passing of the Pluralities Act, this artwork serves as an early critique against such practices long before they were abolished. This fascinating piece from English School offers us a glimpse into historical religious dynamics while reminding us that even centuries ago people questioned societal norms and challenged unjust systems through artful expression.
