This book offers an alternative interpretation of pre-Civil War
England, challenging the standard narrative that English
presbyterianism was successfully extinguished from the late
sixteenth century until its prominent public resurgence during the
English Civil War. From their emergence in the 1570s, English
presbyterians posed a threat to the Church of England, and, in
1592, the English crown arrested the leaders of the presbyterian
movement. Ha shows that, during the ensuing half century of
apparent silence, English presbyterians remained continually
active. They made a concerted effort, for example, to build an
alliance with common lawyers against episcopal authority. Yet they
also sought to prove the compatibility of their church government
with royal supremacy. They agitated for further reformation of the
Church of England, but by the early seventeenth century they had
contributed to the birth of 'independency' and to puritan appeals
to neo-Roman views of liberty.
