This is the first book-length exploration of presbyterians and
presbyterianism in London during the crisis period of the
mid-seventeenth century. It charts the emergence of a movement of
clergy and laity that aimed at ‘reforming the Reformation’ by
instituting presbyterianism in London’s parishes and ultimately
the Church of England. The book analyses the movement’s political
narrative and its relationship with its patrons in the
parliamentarian aristocracy and gentry. It also considers the
political and social institutions of London life and examines the
presbyterians’ opponents within the parliamentarian camp.
Finally, it focuses on the intellectual influence of presbyterian
ideas on the political thought and polity of the Church and the
emergence of dissent at the Restoration. -- .
