An argument could be made that Sidney's theological comments are too few and too terse to definitively categorize them. But, at a minimum, in both Court Maxims and Discourses, they are consistently straightforward to read as Calvinist and very difficult to read as anything else, a difficulty that the tiniest amount of tweaking could have remedied. If Sidney was not a Calvinist, he was going out of his way to conceal that fact, a concealment that he fortified by accepting the label of Calvinist.

20 Sidney's remarks can be contrasted, on the one hand, with the Fifth Monarchist and Fifth-Monarchist-accommodating pamphlets in the Venner and Tong plots of 1661 and 1663 emphasizing the duty of the saints to overthrow tyrants in preparation for Christ's millennial kingdom and, on the other hand, with the more conventional insistence of Anonymous, Mene Tekel, or the Downfal of Tyranny (London, 1663)Google Scholar, on the lawfulness by both scripture and natural law of the “people” to do the same. See Anonymous, A Door of Hope (London, 1661)Google Scholar; Price, Evan, Eye-salve for England (London, 1667), 46; 178–79Google Scholar; Anonymous, Mene Tekel; and Greaves, Richard L., Deliver Us from Evil: The Radical Underground in Britain, 16601663 (New York, 1986), 50, 178–79, 223.Google Scholar Formal arguments for the regicide emphasized that it was lawful both by scripture and natural law to kill tyrannical kings, not that it was a Christian duty, although the difference between this line of reasoning and Sidney's was one of emphasis, not hard and fast distinction, as the standard invocation of the zeal of the Old Testament figure Phineas suggests. The distinction is further blurred by the necessity, given the army's role and the dubiousness of the court that tried Charles, of invoking not only the right of the “people” to kill tyrants, but the right specifically of the “best” people.

See Blencowe, R. W., ed., Sydney Papers (London, 1825), 258–60.Google Scholar Sidney's attitude to the Bible and the work of the Holy Spirit shows no sign of Quaker influence. On the differences between radical Puritans and Quakers, see Nutall, Holy Spirit. Henry Vane was friends with Quakers while regarding them as dangerously theologically inadequate.

See Vane, Retired Mans Meditations, 80, 100; and Houston, Algernon Sidney, 128. Scott, Commonwealth Principles, 184–90, notes how Sidney's emphasis on the importance of “discipline” for a country, an emphasis he shared with Milton, resonates with the Puritan ideal of the godly magistrate.

Sidney, Court Maxims, 46, 93, 99, 106, 178. What Worden, Roundhead Reputations, 144, 200, calls Sidney's “millenarian streak” and his “apocalyptic theology” are passages simply repeating the familiar warning that God punishes the wicked and avenges his saints. They have nothing whatsoever specific to do with the end of time, let alone the projected thousand year reign of the saints.

Sidney shows no trace of Vane's theological idiosyncrasies. The belief in a godly franchise was widespread among the sectarian fringe of Puritanism in the 1650s. See Lacey, Douglas R., Dissent and Parliamentary Politics in England, 1661–1689: A Study in the Perpetuation and Tempering of Parliamentarianism (Rutgers, NJ, 1969), 4.Google Scholar Milton's writings breathe an intimate relationship between piety, virtue, and republicanism, without any intimation, however, of anything resembling Vane's proposal. He rejected restricting the franchise on the basis of theology. Harrington rejected Vane's linking of the franchise with Calvinist virtue as oligarchical.
