Book Description
Excerpt from A Plea for Liberty in the Church: A Letter to the Rt. Rev. Horatio Potter, D.D., D. C. L History shows us, conclusively, the interpretationwhich wasput upon the Preface to the Ordinal during the century that succeeded the Reformation. There was no exclusion of minis ters from officiating in churches because they were not episco pally ordained. The ministers of the Scotch Church, and of the Protestant churches on the Continent, were expressly recognized. Practices involving this recognition were indeed suppressed by the Act of Uniformity of 1662, but the Act of Uniformity, I need not remind you, is not in force in the United States. (note A.)

A Plea for Religious Liberty (1644)
Author: Roger Williams
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781499332810
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Roger Williams (ca. 1603-83), religious leader and one of the founders of Rhode Island, was the son of a well-to-do London businessman. Educated at Cambridge (A.B., 1627) he became a clergyman and in 1630 sailed for Massachusetts. He refused a call to the church of Boston because it had not formally broken with the Church of England, but after two invitations he became the assistant pastor, later pastor, of the church at Salem. He questioned the right of the colonists to take the Indians' land from them merely on the legal basis of the royal charter and in other ways ran afoul of the oligarchy then ruling Massachusetts. In 1635 he was found guilty of spreading 'new authority of magistrates' and was ordered to be banished from the colony. He lived briefly with friendly Indians and then, in 1636, founded Providence in what was to be the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. His religious views led him to become briefly a Baptist, later a Seeker. In 1644, while he was in England getting a charter for his colony from Parliament, he wrote the work from which this dialogue is taken. During much of his later life he was engaged in polemics on political and religious questions. A Plea for Religious Liberty (1644) is his most famous work.
