Excerpt from The Case of Moderation and Occasional Communion: Represented by Way of Caution to the True Sons of the Church of England
Fools as to be cheated with their Eyes open, they mutt firfi: be dazzled and blinded with fair and fpecious Pretences. And fo far as fuch Pretenfions prevail, fo far are the Perfons in danger on whom they prevail. The Mifchief always bears a Proportion to the Quality of the Fraud and the Sphere in which it moves: If it be baited for privateandflpart'iculai Men, the Influence aifo is private and particular, and no Man fufi'ers but he that Swallows the Gudgeon. But if it be laid for the Publick; if the Defign be againfi the Confiituti'on, if a Nation, or a Church, are to be' couzen'g, the whole is in Jeopard and the Men of Honefiy and Penetration, who fee through 31 the Difguifes,' are equally in volv'd in the Common Danger though notjin the Guilt and F01 ly they are overwhelm'd with the Knavery and Felly of the tell, and their feeing and difcover'ingthe Snares and Traps, will nor prevent. Their being catch'd, but only augment the Smart of it, and their forefight borh antcdates and inflames the fery. If the Mines be dug, and the Trains laid, and a Party within ready to joyn the Party without: If thofe whofe proper bufmefs it is, either do nor fee this, or connive at it if they do, it will require no Prophecy to forerei the Event.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the efforts of a religious sect known as the Puritans within the English religious landscape. It explores the emergence of their beliefs and practices in the context of the Church of England as the established religion. The author discusses how the Puritans challenged the authority and rituals of the established church, pushing for a more austere and individualistic form of worship. Amidst fears of their influence, the government passed the Occasional Conformity Act, designed to limit their ability to hold public office. This book sheds light on the ensuing religious controversies, analyzing the arguments and motivations of both sides. It delves into the complexities of religious dissent, conformity, and the struggle for religious freedom. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the dynamic relationship between religion, politics, and society in 17th-century England.
