Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the English Episcopacy: From the Period of the Long Parliament to the Act of Uniformity; With Notices of the Religious Parties of the Time, and a Review of Ecclesiastical Affairs in England From the Reformation No very formal apology is necessary for an attempt to throw additional light, or to give juster views on, an important and most interesting portion of English history. The affairs of religion occupied so prominent a place during the reign of the first Charles, and down to the period of the restoration, that the civil history of that period is necessarily also an ecclesiastical history; and, therefore, a history of the church during the same period cannot be written without furnishing materials for civil history. It will be found, however, that I have confined myself, with some strictness, to matters ecclesiastical and religious. I fancied that, from a careful examination, not only of the established authorities for the history of the period in question, but of the sermons, pamphlets, and other fugitive pieces of the time, a juster notion of the spirit of the different sects might be arrived at, and many details might be brought together which would furnish a fuller and truer picture of the religious state of the country and of the condition of the clergy than has yet been exhibited. I also fancied that the errors of a few churchmen of that trying time had been exaggerated and imputed to the whole body, while the merits of the class had been depreciated, and their sufferings overlooked.
