John Norden’s A Progress of Piety illustrates the more practical and devotional theology of Elizabeth’s reign. The work is a glimpse of the devotional life of a sixteenth-century evangelical layman. It includes several prayers, poems, and a brief biographical sketch of Norden.
John Norden (1547–1625) was an English cartographer and author of numerous devotional works. Keeping his two fields of publication very separate, he avoided religious persecution by claiming his devotional volumes were authored by a John Norden “pretender.”
