- W1552804573 abstract "‘Well, doctor,’ William of Orange is said to have remarked to Gilbert Burnet, as they stood on Brixham beach on 5 November 1688, ‘what do you think of predestination now?’ The jest, if it was one, might be taken as referring to the extraordinary series of physical events which had brought them where they were – to the multiple changes of the Protestant wind, blowing them east, west and east again; or it might refer to the no less extraordinary series of contingencies in church, state and dynasty which had led to William's being invited to England and had made it worth his while to set out thither; or finally, it might be taken as indicating that neither William nor Burnet at that moment could have had the least idea what was about to happen. With the benefit of hindsight, we know; and we know also that William had done his best to ensure that some things should happen which did in fact happen. We are therefore tempted to see the outcome of William's expedition as a foregone conclusion, which is to know more about predestination than William or Burnet did. A warning against ‘Whig history’ in a very crude sense may therefore be uttered at the outset of this essay. William was a careful planner, but careful planners in military and political affairs are at the same time very daring gamblers, and he was engaged on a gamble of a quite breathtaking nature." @default.
