Laud was a sincere Anglican and loyal Englishman, who must have been frustrated at the charges of Popery levelled against him by the Puritan element in the Church.
Laud's policy was influenced by another aspect of his character: his desire to impose total uniformity on the Church.

 William Laud
In 1611, in spite of the influence of Archbishop Abbot and Lord Chancellor Ellesmere, Laud was made president of St. John's, and in 1614 obtained in addition the prebend of Buckden, in 1615 the archdeaconry of Huntingdon, and in 1616 the deanery of Gloucester.
Laud continued to support Strafford's and the king's arbitrary measures to the last, and spoke in favor of the vigorous continuation of the war on Strafford's side in the memorable meeting of the committee of eight on the 5th of May 1640, and for the employment of any means for carrying it on.
Laud's complete neglect of the national sentiment, in his belief that the exercise of mere power was sufficient to suppress it, is a principal proof of his total lack of true statesmanship.

 Archbishop William Laud 1573-1645
Ordained as a priest in 1601, Laud was ambitious and rose quickly through the hierarchy of the Church principally through the patronage of Richard Neile, Bishop of Rochester, through whom he was introduced into the court of King James I. In 1617, Laud accompanied the King on a visit to Scotland as one his chaplains.
Laud's love of ceremony and harmonious liturgy — the "beauty of holiness" — was shared by King Charles, but it was loathed by Puritans, who regarded Laud's Arminianism as dangerously close to Roman Catholicism.
Laud was accused of assuming tyrannical powers in Church and State, of subverting the true religion with popish superstition and of causing the recent disastrous wars against the Scots.

 Laud, Liberty, and Levellers
For the time, the rising tide of Puritanism is stemmed by William Laud, the martyr archbishop, who in season and out of season preached the doctrine of equality before the law, against the Puritan theory of immunity in the case of courtiers and gentlemen.
One of the complaints of Laud's adversary Henry Burton against the Common Prayer was, 'it cut short sermons.' The worship that is social strikes at the individualism of the man in the pulpit; it is an apostolical reminder to him not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think.
Laud strove by every means in his power to prevent such enclosures as depopulated the countryside, and, by heading the Commission of Depopulation, infuriated the capitalistic land-owners whose interests were aligning themselves with the industrial capitalists of the towns.

 William Laud
William Laud, born in 1573, was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1633 to 1645 in the days of King Charles I. It was a turbulent time throughout, one of violent divisions in the Church of England, eventually culminating in the English Civil War.
Archbishop Laud regarded it as a seemly, dignified, garment, an appropriate response to the Apostle Paul's injunction, "Let all things be done decently and in order." The Puritans stood by their objections, and violently interrupted services at which the surplice was worn.
Laud was also the prosecutor of record in the trials of those who published seditious or violent and abusive attacks on the doctrine and discipline of the Church, and the Puritans produced an abundance of scurrilous attacks on those who disagreed with them, which were duly punished, with Laud taking the responsibility.

What Laud did was to hold a court to try the offence, as was proper, and after it had been properly condemned by authority, then to come down and embrace the offender, and propose to forgive and forget.

 Less Than the Whole Laud
The tenet that Laud advanced most persistently, in the teeth of massive opposition by both clergy and laity, was the importance of preserving continuity with the pre-Reformation Church.
The "true" reason for, say, upholding the mystical character of the Eucharist was evidently to strike a blow at enclosures, emigration and the pretensions of Parliament.
Activities such as the promotion of scholarship and the recovery of the church's property rights were not disconnected enthusiasms but elements of a program for reinforcing the links between contemporary and ancient Christianity and safeguarding a refurbished church from the influence of modernist opinion.

 Using LAUD in Windows 98
LAUD is a DOS application -- it does not use Microsoft Windows drivers nor other Windows services, nor is it subject to Windows time-sharing or most interruptions caused by the Windows system which might interfere with its data collection or integrity.
A side effect of doing this is: after LAUD has taken over the soundcard for its own purposes, the card can not be used for regular Windows multimedia operations (Midi, Wav, or Windows' "whistle, beep, and tweet" annunciators) until after the computer has been restarted.
LAUD itself can run happily in any of Windows 3.1, 95 or 98; the potential problem is with Windows operation after LAUD has taken over the DSP soundcard.
