When Henry VIII. had determined to make himself head of the English Church, he insisted upon it that convocation should accept his headship without limiting and modifying clauses. He refused to entertain any compromises, and vowed that 'he would have no tantums' as he called them. Thus when a sinner parleys with his Savior he would fain have a little of the honor of his salvation, he would save alive some favorite sin, he would fain amend the humbling terms of gracebut there is no help for it, Jesus will be all in all, and the sinner must be nothing at all. The surrender must be complete, there must be no tantums, but the heart must, without reserve submit to the sovereignty of the Redeemer.
