Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Ken, Vol. 2: Bishop of Bath and Wells The Bishops are released from the Tower - Their Trial for a Seditious Libel, and Acquittal - The Joy of the People - The Bishops encourage their flocks to remain firm to the Church of England. The ill-judged, and tyrannical measure of sending the Archbishop and Bishops to the Tower roused the nation, almost as one man, to a sense of the danger which now threatened their common liberties: even the Dissenters perceived that the King´s real object was the establishment of Popery. How indeed could they expect a permanent indulgence for themselves, when a humble petition from the Bishops, praying to be excused from an illegal act, drawn up with such secrecy that no copy was allowed to be taken in any but the Archbishop´s own writing, and delivered into the King´s hand, in the royal closet at night, and on their knees, was denounced as the publication of a seditious libel?
