Overview
\"6 On the other hand, most current citations focus on physical ambiance rather than conduct, restricting our understanding of the fullness of ceremonial worship. [...]the beauty of holiness loses its spiritual richness, especially considering the phrase was used both by Laudian and anti-Laudian writers. [...]the widespread use of the phrase in the early seventeenth century suggests that the beauty of holiness was hardly the exclusive domain of the Laudians. Because scholarship has, at times, taken a myopic view of the \"beauty of holiness\" due to the perceived hegemony of the Laudian movement, it might bear disclaiming that the focus here is on what the phrase itself represented to English Protestants. For Andrewes, Christians should follow suit because the liturgy says to worship ceremoniously. The phrase appears in Book Five (pub. 1597), which focuses on Church ceremony.
