  John Gauden - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
JOHN GAUDEN (1605-1662), English bishop and writer, reputed author of the Eikon Basilike, was born in 1605 at Mayland, Essex, where his father was vicar of the parish.
Gauden was advanced in 1662, not as he had wished to the see of Winchester, but to Worcester.
The evidence in favour of Gauden's authorship rests chiefly on his own assertions and those of his wife (who after his death sent to her son John a narrative of the claim), and on the fact that it was admitted by Clarendon, who sould have had means of being acquainted with the truth.

 Milton: Tenure of Kings - Notes
In her recent The Life of John Milton, Barbara Lewalski describes its various generic elements: "Several elements are intertwined here, somewhat disjointedly: castigation of backsliding Presbyterians, rhetorical appeals to the fragmenting revolutionary parties, defenses of tyrannicide, and development of a republican political theory derived from classical and contemporary sources, and the Bible" (230).
John Gauden had argued in a pamphlet published on January 5 1649 that in showing pity on King Charles I, the Parliament and the Army would not be acting "foolish and feminine," but "masculine, Heroick, truly Christian and Divine" (Hughes, Complete Prose 3.191n).
John Gauden was later revealed to have been the author of King Charles I's Eikon Basilike (1649).

John Gauden is one of the most remarkable figures in the literary history of his time.
A singularly adroit ecclesiastic, who was of the parliament’s party and yet not wholly repugnant to Laud, he was well abused as any clergyman of his day—which is saying a great deal—but no man had a better skill in retort.
One feels that Gauden knew extraordinarily well how far he might go and carry people with him.

 John Gau - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
He appears to have been in residence at Malmo in 1533, perhaps as chaplain to the Scots community there.
In that year John Hochstraten, the exiled Antwerp printer, issued a book by Gau entitled: The Richt vay to the Kingdome of Heuine, of which the chief interest is that it is the first Scottish book written on the side of the Reformers.
It is a translation of Christiern Pedersen's Den rettevey till Hiemmerigis Rige (Antwerp, 1531), for the most part direct, but showing intimate knowledge in places of the German edition of Urbanus Rhegius.

The same line was adopted by John Bradshaw, the president of the court in the trial proceedings.
Gauden successfully replaced the real Charles, an inveterate plotter and double-dealer, inflexible and autocratic, with a saintly king who was perhaps to good for such a sinful world.
Despite John Milton’s revelation that parts of the king’s scaffold speech were actually plagiarised from Sir Phillip Sidney’s Arcadia, the book was a massive best-seller from the moment that it appeared in print and continued to be published in popular and scholarly editions right up to the twentieth century.

With the triumph of Parliament, and the King's execution, England became a republican Commonwealth, under a Council of State, until in a bloodless coup in 1653 the toughest of the Parliamentary military leaders, Oliver Cromwell, dissolved Parliament and took over as Lord Protector.
This pamphlet, threatening death to anyone suspected of resistance to the new government, illustrates its increasing repressiveness as Parliament and the Puritan clergy struggled to control the lingering pockets of Royalists and growing numbers of radical sectaries.
This 1650's edition is actually a contemporary pirated reprint, which used the earlier date in error because publication was at the break between years in the old-style calendar.

The long literary controversy which the claim occasioned has lasted to the present day.
Briefly summarised, it turns upon the secondhand evidence of those who are said to have seen parts of the book in the handwriting of Charles I, and the counter-assertion of Gauden that he was himself the author, and upon the remarkable and detailed resemblance to his own writings.
Such a dramatic presentment would not be above the ability of Gauden: and it is quite possible that he had before him, when he wrote, actual meditations, prayers and memoranda of the king, which perished when they had been copied and had found their place in the masterly mosaic.

The benchers of the Temple chose him for their Preacher, in which office he continued until his death, on 7th December, 1659, when that Honourable Society defrayed the expenses of his funeral in their church on 17th of that month and year.
John Gauden, who had preached the sermon on that occasion, and was appointed his successor in the see, after his election on 3rd November, inscribed the following epitaph to his memory:--
This bishop elect should have assigned seventeen insitead of nineteen years for the period of his episcopacy; and is also incorrect in stating that he never exercised his authority; for by commission he instituted and collated several clergymen.

In the end the lady condemning make-up admits that she has been captive to a 'plebeian kind of censoriousnesse and popular severity', revealing a subversive purpose beyond the book's immediate topic.

Their opponents asserted that the Eikon Basilike was at best a collaboration, with the primary responsibility for its composition falling on the shoulders of John Gauden, Bishop of Worcester.
It is interesting to note that the Library of Congress, which sets cataloging standards for American libraries, has decided not to take sides on this issue; instead of attributing any author to the Eikon Basilike, the Library of Congress simply catalogs all copies under title.

It is also--if not the first prolonged attempt of a man to see cosmetics from women's points of view--certainly the longest attempt, at 262 pages.[6] The Discourse is set as a conversation "between two ladies," one woman presenting her objections concisely, and the other woman defending cosmetics at some length.
At the same time that Mary Kay makes her analogies to prove that face painting should not be condemned, John Gauden the author[24] uses those same analogies to show the vanity and hypocrisy of a wide variety of arts.
Gauden is suggesting that not just cosmetics are at issue, but the whole art of making oneself "look better." Agatha makes this point explicit: sins are "any pretensions to advance our Honors, Estates, Healths, or Beauties" (7).
