Book Description
Excerpt from The Rise of the Old Dissent, Exemplified in the Life of Oliver Heywood, One of the Founders of the Presbyterian Congregations in the County of York I write in the character neither of the apologist and defender, nor of the impugner and opponent of men on whom it is impossible to look without a considerable degree of respect, but as the historian of the course they took, and aiming in an impartial Spirit to give a just View of their determinations in the several critical periods of their lives. It remains that I describe the materials which have been used in the preparation of this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I N the same manner in which we have seen Mr. Heywood spending his life were many other of the Puritan ministers employed when they found themselves excluded from the National Church by the requisitions of the Act of Uniformity. It was first, that is, till the year 1687, an open defiance of the law by the performance of religious rites and the conducting religious services wherever opportunities were presented to them; and from that period to the close of their lives, the acting as pastors and ministers of particular communities of men who preferred their ministry, or who, for whatever reason, refused to conform to the Church, which they were allowed to do on certain easy terms prescribed by the Act of Toleration.

Book Description
"Ryken's Worldly Saints offers a fine introduction to seventeenth-century Puritanism in its English and American contexts. The work is rich in quotations from Puritan worthies and is ideally suited to general readers who have not delved widely into Puritan literature. It will also be a source of information and inspiration to those who seek a clearer understanding of the Puritan roots of American Christianity." -Harry Stout, Yale University "...the typical Puritans were not wild men, fierce and freaky, religious fanatics and social extremists, but sober, conscientious, and cultured citizens, persons of principle, determined and disciplined excelling in the domestic virtues, and with no obvious shortcomings save a tendency to run to words when saying anything important, whether to God or to a man. At last the record has been put straight." -J.I. Packer, Regent College "Worldly Saints provides a revealing treasury of primary and secondary evidence for understanding the Puritans, who they were, what they believed, and how they acted. This is a book of value and interest for scholars and students, clergy and laity alike." -Roland Mushat Frye, University of Pennsylvania "A very persuasive...most interesting book...stuffed with quotations from Puritan sources, almost to the point of making it a mini-anthology." -Publishers Weekly "With Worldly Saints, Christians of all persuasions have a tool that provides ready access to the vast treasures of Puritan thought." -Christianity Today "Ryken writes with a vigor and enthusiasm that makes delightful reading-never a dull moment." -Fides et Historia "Worldly Saints provides a valuable picture of Puritan life and values. It should be useful for general readers as well as for students of history and literature." -Christianity and Literature
