Puritans and Dissenters Compared in a London Letter
A London newspaper correspondence argues Puritans were liberty fighters while Dissenters drift toward court favour and argue for limited toleration. The writer, Hystaspes, urges opposing subscription moves and urges strong petitioning against the Test Act, warning of Catholic and Jesuit influence. He critiques ministers and asks Dissenters to act to protect civil liberty and church integrity.
