    What did that other priest preach about Ephesians 1?

      Oh, I won’t go into details on that. But I’ve certainly run into plenty of Anglicans who take issue with election/predestination. There’s a reason only bishops were allowed to preach on it in the 17th century

      Yep. In 1622, King James issued “Instructions to Preachers” which included this clause:
      “3. That no preacher of what title soever under the degree of a bishop, or dean at the least, do from henceforth presume to preach in any popular auditory the deep points of predestination, election, reprobation or of the universality, efficacity, resistibility or irresistibility of God's grace; but leave those themes to be handled by learned men, and that moderately and modestly by way of use and application, rather than by way of positive doctrine, as being fitter for the schools and universities, than for simple auditories.”

      Indeed. In part, the King was trying to keep the controversies between the Puritans and Conformists from boiling over into the rest of the Kingdom. Those same Instructions forbid railing against either Puritans or “Papists” from the pulpit.
