RANTERS , an antinomian and spiritualistic See also:English See also:sect in the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time of the See also:Commonwealth, who may be described as the dregs of the Seeker See also:movement. Their central See also:idea was pantheistic, that See also:God is essentially in every creature, but though many of them were sincere and honest in their See also:attempt to See also:express the See also:doctrine of the Divine See also:immanence, they were in the See also:main unable to hold the See also:balance. They denied See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church, Scripture, the current See also:ministry and services, calling on men to hearken to See also:Christ within them. Many of them seem to have rejected a belief in See also:immortality and in a See also:personal God, and in many ways they resemble the Brethren of the See also:Free Spirit in the 14th See also:century. Their vague See also:pantheism landed them in moral confusion, and many of them were marked by fierce fanaticism. How far the See also:accusation of lewdness brought against them is just is hard to say, but they seem to have been a really serious peril to the nation. They were largely recruited from the See also:common See also:people, and there is plenty of See also:evidence to show that the movement was widespread. The Ranters came into contact and even rivalry with the See also:early See also:Quakers, who were often unjustly associated with them. The truth is that the See also:positive See also:message of the See also:Friends helped to See also:save See also:England from being overrun with Ranterism. See also:Samuel See also:Fisher, a Friend, See also:writing in 1653, gives a See also:calm and instructive See also:account of the Ranters, which with other relevant See also:information, including See also:Richard See also:Baxter's rather hysterical attack, may be read in See also:Rufus M.
