About This Book

The work surveys the rise and progress of Nonconformity in Northamptonshire from the Reformation, outlining Puritan objections to Anglican rites, their networks of lectures and associations, and the legal pressures they endured under uniformity measures and ecclesiastical courts. It records the ejectment, fines, and exile that spurred the formation of Independent congregations, offers biographical notices of pastors and accounts of Puritan ministers who laboured in the county, and describes how later toleration altered their circumstances, combining local church memorials with reflections on religious liberty and ministerial perseverance.
