This book reconsiders the existence of an early Stuart Puritan
movement, and examines the ways in which Puritan clergymen
encouraged greater sociability with their like-minded colleagues,
both in theory and in practice, to such an extent that they came to
define themselves as 'a peculiar people', a community distinct from
their less faithful rivals. Their voluntary communal rituals
encouraged a view of the world divided between 'us' and 'them'.
This provides a context for a renewed examination of the thinking
behind debates on ceremonial nonconformity and reactions to the
Laudian changes of the 1630s. From this a new perspective is
developed on arguments about emigration and church government,
arguments that proved crucial to Parliamentarian unity during the
English Civil War.
