	Literary Encyclopedia: Religio Medici
		Religio Medici has been described as spiritual autobiography, but it has in fact only occasional resemblance to the true seventeenth-century exponents of the form like Lucy Hutchinson and John Aubrey.
		Religio Medici is divided into two unequal parts, each comprising short numbered considerations of a large variety of doctrinal and devotional questions.
		Because he presents himself in Religio Medici as anything but an antagonist in the wars of religion of his own time, the essay attracted, until recently, far less rigorous scholarly and critical attention than it deserved, as if its cool eirenic message was somehow ignoble and thus licensed critical negligence.

	Religio Medici
		Variously described as a prose-poem, confession of faith and 'sort of private diary of the soul', the Religio Medici ('The Religion of a Physician') is hard to categorize.
		The Religio Medici was published consistently throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, some twenty odd editions appearing in Browne's lifetime alone.
		In the Religio Medici, Browne wrote that 'At my death I mean to take a total adieu of the world, not caring for a monument, history, or epitaph, not so much as the bare memory of my name to be found anywhere but in the Universal Register of God'.

		In 1642 a copy of his Religio Medici, which he describes as a private exercise directed to myself, was printed from one of his MSS.

		If Religio, taken with its preface, now presents an extended meditation on self, past and present, public and private, it is Digby who impels that meditation; who forces the precipitate appearance of the authorized text and creates the uneasy contretemps between.present selfe" and "passed apprehension" that informs the authorized Religio.
		Though she does not consider Browne, Religio typifies a kind of writing that is characterized, as Jagodzinski argues, by its simultaneous creation and invasion of privacy (p.
		If the chief distinction of Religio lies in the ability of Its author to mediate contemporary controversy through a remarkable personal style, It is important to consider how Digby's reading-and, more generally, the difficulties of public reception it represents-- undermines the carefully wrought pretences of Religio.

		Democratizing Sir Thomas Browne offers a reconsideration both of Religio Medici 's style and of its early reception history, especially as witnessed by a group of late-seventeenth and early eighteenth-century texts that can loosely be described as 'imitations'.
		The many and complex responses to Browne's Religio Medici bear witness to the book's centrality in the period: examination of these responses permits a more differentiated assessment of the work itself, and a deeper understanding of seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century mentalities.
		The second part of the book attempts to create a new context for the study of seventeenth-century prose by re-examining Morris W. Croll's analysis of Browne's idiom in Religio Medici employing quantitative techniques, the use of which is itself subjected to analysis.
