Abstract
This chapter sums up the key findings of this study on the career and works of Laudian and royalist polemicist Peter Heylyn in seventeenth-century England. It outlines Heylyn's basic ideological stances and identifies some of the tensions and ambiguities within them, before reassessing the reputation of this most controversial figure. The chapter highlights the substantial change and development in Heylyn's ideas over the course of his career, and argues that he occupies an important place in the emergence of more exclusive ideas of the identity of the Church of England and of its Reformation.
