Extract A In 1625 the religious anxieties of James I’s subjects ran high. This was not the fault of his domestic religious policies but the impact of the religious aspects of his foreign affairs. Charles I’s approach to the power of the bishops made tensions worse. James had supported the privileges of the clergy, but Charles so promoted the status of bishops that the Church became wealthier and more prominent, relying on the support of Charles’ prerogative powers. Rather than a change from James’ approach, an intensification of what had gone before gathered momentum through the 1630s. It was not Arminian theology but the increasing power of the bishops and Charles’ prerogative that caused concern. As a result, Protestant perceptions of religious policy moved, in the years 1625 to 1645, from frustration to suspicion and then to simmering anger. By the late 1630s there was a widespread belief in a ‘popish plot’, and trials, petitions and angry debates brought a bitter war in the 1640s
