But some time earlier the Archbishop of Canterbury had used the same phrase in his Christmas address, in a year which had seen a virulent outbreak of the plague, a severe storm that had devastated the English Channel coast, bad harvests, peasant rebellions against taxes and a very famous historical event. In which year did all this take place?
