Reading the Declaration debate fuels church liberty fears
A fragment from a seventeenth century letter or commentary debates royal proclamations and the Church of England. It argues clergy should teach the queen’s declaration on religious liberty, condemns force and persecution, and questions clergy submission to Civil and Crown authority. It cites Readling the Declaratim and argues for freedom of conscience against coercive measures. The piece critiques Anglican conformity, urging honest countermoves and warning against Popery and sedition.
