Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Puritans, or Protestant Nonconformists, From the Reformation in 1517, to the Revolution in 1688, Vol. 5 of 5: Comprising an Account of Their Principles; Their Attempts for a Farther Reformation in the Church; Their Sufferings; And the Lives and Characters of Their Most Considerable Divines It is a pleasure to him, that the examination of the writers who have censured Mr. Neal with severity, has eventually established the authenticity of the history, and the candour and impartiality of the author, in all the main parts of his work. It reflects high and lasting honour on this ecclesiastical history, that if the author were convicted by a Warburton, a Maddox, and 3 Grey, of partiality, it could be only such a partiality as might arise from a zeal against tyrants and oppressors. The work has, on the whole, a liberal cast; it is on the side of civil and religious liberty; it is in favour of the rights of Englishmen, against unconstitutional prerogative; it is in favour of the rights of conscience, against an imperious and persecuting hierarchy, whether Episcopal or Presbyterian; it is ia' favour of the great interests of mankind; and, to adopt the words of a most able and liberal writer A history that is written without any regard to the chief privileges of human nature, and without feelings, especially of the moral kind, must lose a cousi derable part of its instruction and energy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Puritans, Vol. 5: Or, Protestant Nonconformists; From the Reformation in 1517, to the Revolution in 1688, Comprising an Account of Their Principles; Their Attempts for a Farther Reformation in the Church, Their Sufferings; And the Lives and Characters of Their Most Conside In revising Dr. Toulmin's edition of this work for republication, it was found to abound with typographical errors, to a degree almost unprecedented in the present day, owing probably, to the great distance at which he resided from the place where it was printed. These have consequently been corrected; but both Mr. Neal's text, and the notes of his former edition, remain as in the last edition. Considerable alterations, however, have been made in the disposal of his supplemental matter. Valuable as the doctor's additions to Mr. Neal's History certainly are, every one must have been struck with the extreme awkwardness and injudicious method of arranging his materials; particularly as it regarded the size of his volumes; some of which comprised seven or eight hundred pages, while the fifth contained only half that number. In order to render the volumes, in this new edition, as near as possible, of an equal size, the history of the Baptists and Quakers, which Dr. Toulmin had dealt out by piecemeal, and interspersed throughout the volumes, is now collected into an unbroken narrative, and given as a Supplement to vol. V. This, it is presumed, will be generally regarded as a material improvement in various respects, and cannot fail to confer upon the present edition a decided superiority to all that have preceded it. Some important additions have also been introduced into this part of the work, by which, it is hoped, the value of the publication is still farther augmented: and, upon the whole, the work cannot fail in its present state to recommend itself to every friend of civil and religious liberty as the most valuable history of the kind that is extant in our language.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Puritans, Vol. 2 of 5: Or Protestant Nonconformists; From the Reformation in 1517 to the Revolution in 1688 The Editor, in revising the first volume of Mr. Neal's "History of the Puritans," was greatly assisted by the authors "Review of the principal facts objected to in that volume." In the volume which is now presented to the public, such aid fails him, as it will also in the succeeding ones, since Dr. Grey's "Examination" did not make its appearance till the declining state of Mr. Neal's health prevented his farther vindication of his work. The justice due to Mr. Neal's memory and to truth, required the Editor to attempt what could have been done by the author himself with much greater advantage than at this distance of time, from the first statement of the facts, by one who cannot come at all the authorities on which Mr. Neal spake. He has endeavoured, however, to acquit himself with care and impartiality in the examination of Dr. Grey's animadversions, and is not aware that he has passed over any material strictures, extended through a volume of four hundred pages. Though Dr. Grey's "Examination" may be now little known or sought after, it received, at its first publication, the thanks of many divines of the first eminence; particularly of Dr. Gibson, then bishop of London, and of Dr. Sherlock, then bishop of Salisbury. The latter prelate, writing to the doctor, said, "It is happy that Mr. Neal's account appeared when there was one so well versed in the history, and so able to correct the errors and prejudices. The service you have done must be considered as a very important one by all the friends of the constitution of the church of England."

Excerpt from The History of the Puritans, Vol. 1 of 5: Or Protestant Nonconformists; From the Reformation in 1517 to the Revolution in 1688 To set this in a proper light it was necessary to leok back upon the sad state Of religion before the Reformation, and to consider the motives that induced king henry'viii. To break with the pepe; 'and to declare the Church of England an independent body, of which himself, under Christ, was the supreme head upon earth. This was a hold attempt, at a time when all the powers of the earth were against him; and could not have succeeded without an over ruling direction of Divine Providence. But as for any real amend'. Ment-of the doctrines or superstitions of Popery, any farther than was necessary to secure his own supremacy, and those vast re'venues of the church which he had grasped into his hands, whatever his majesty might design, he had not the honour to accomplish.

Excerpt from The History of the Puritans, Vol. 3 of 5: Or, Protestant Nonconformists; From the Reformation in 1517, to the Revolution in 1688: Comprising an Account of Their Principles; Their Attempts for a Farther Reformation in the Church; Their Sufferings; And the Lives and Characters of Their Most Conside No period of civil history has undergone a more critical examination than the last seven years of king Charles I. which was a scene of such confusion and inconsistent management between the king and parliament, that it is very difficult to discover the motives of action on either side: the king seems to have been directed by secret springs from the queen and her council of Papists, who were for advancing the prerogative above the laws, and vesting his majesty with such an absolute sovereignty as might rival his brother of France, and enable him to establish the Roman-Catholic religion in England, or some how or other blend it with the Protestant. This gave rise to the unparalleled severities of the star-chamber and high-commission, which, after twelve years triumph over the laws and liberties of the subject, brought on a fierce and bloody war, and after the loss of above a hundred thousand lives, ended in the sacrifice of the king himself, and the subversion of the whole constitution. Though all men had a veneration for the person of the king, his ministers had rendered themselves justly obnoxious, not only by Setting up a new form of government at home, but by extending their jurisdiction to a neighbouring kingdom, under the government of distinct laws, and inclined to a form of church-discipline very different from the English: this raised such a storm in the north, as distressed his majesty's administration; exhausted his treasure; drained all his arbitrary springs of supply; and (after an intermission of twelve years) reduced him to the necessity of returning to the constitution, and calling a parliament; but when the public grievances came to be opened, there appeared such a collection of ill-humours, and so general a distrust between the king and his two houses, as threatened all the mischief and desolation that followed. Each party laid the blame on the other, and agreed in nothing but in throwing off the odium of the civil war from themselves.
