Dissenter Libel Criticizes a Parson and Church Roles
A reader condemns a controversial parson for drunkenness and irregular conduct, denouncing high church allies and praising Protestant bishops while attacking Whigs and nonconformist writers. The text derides anonymous libels and spans religious politics, with notes on cholick-water remedies and an 18th century book of love secrets.
