Prefatory Critique on Clergy and Popery Politics
The writer laments schemes to curb Popery and distrusts clerical schemes to dominate. He recalls discontent in Charles I’s reign that fueled fanaticism, warns Presbyterians and allies aim to undermine public peace, and urges vigilance to prevent their rise and destruction of liberty. He admires a poem on Prefatory Suffering and urges revival of the martyrs’ memory.
