A Short Account Of The Puritans

A Short Account of the Puritans: Their Ejection from the Church of England and the Efforts to Restore Them is a historical book written by David Mountfield in 1881. The book provides an overview of the Puritans, a group of English Protestants who sought to purify the Church of England from what they saw as Roman Catholic practices. Mountfield details the events that led to the Puritans' ejection from the Church of England, including the Act of Uniformity of 1662, which required all clergy to use the Book of Common Prayer. The book also discusses the efforts made by some to restore the Puritans to the Church of England, including the Nonjurors, a group of clergy who refused to swear allegiance to William and Mary after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Mountfield's book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Puritans and their role in shaping English religious and political life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
