This book is a political tract from the early 18th century, written by an anonymous author who identifies himself only as 'a lover of truth and peace'. The book is a critique of the political and religious factions that were then tearing apart the Church of England and Parliament. Drawing on a range of historical sources and contemporary documents, the author argues that these factions are rooted in a combination of personal ambition, religious zealotry, and ideological partisanship. While some of the references may be obscure to modern readers, the book offers an enlightening perspective on an important chapter in British history.
