The Peterborough Bishop Speaks For a Bill Amid Dissenters Debate
The Bishop of Peterborough argues for the bill defending church liberties while warning against clergy overreach. He cites history to show dangers when church power becomes arbitrary, emphasizes the church as a scriptural institution on a legal establishment, and defends the revolution era toleration as securing broader rights. He counters claims dissenters gained too much from the revolution.
