Excerpt from History of Congregationalism From About A. D. 250 to the Present Time, Vol. 1: In Continuation of the Account of the Origin and Earliest History of This System of Church Polity Contained in "a View of Congregationalism" Between the order of Christ's house and that of Antichrist's, there is a heaven-wide difference; in deed, there is no resemblance whatever. And the inquiry may very naturally arise: How could a change so entire be wrought in the polity of the churches? Some have urged this question as a capital objection to the belief that Congregational ism was, for substance, the apostolical system of church government. If it was, say they, how could so great a change have been made? And why were not these encroachments protested against and resisted? I expect to show, in the body of this work, that these encroachments were protested against, and resisted even unto blood. In this Introduction, I propose to speak very briefly of the manner in which this change in the polity Of the churches was introduced. I am disposed to undertake this, from the conviction that this survey will forcibly illus trate the importance of holding fast the great principles of apostolic church order, while it will prepare the reader for the historical details which may follow in the sequel. It has already been intimated, that the pride and ambition of the clergy and the carelessness of the people were the main springs in the machinery which overturned the apostolic order and discipline of the christian churches.

Excerpt from History of Congregationalism, Vol. 3: From About A. D. 250 to the Present Time in Continuation of the Account of the Origin and Earliest History of This System of Church Polity Contained in "a View of Congregationalism" Somewhere about 1575-76, two persons at least were thrown into prison in Bury for the crime Of nonconformity, one of whom afterwards suffered death for his principles. Persecution, as usual, ex cited rather than extinguished the spirit of dissent, and about the year 1580 - 81 it was blown into a flame by the fiery zeal of one who ultimately he came the most notorious, though by no means the most consistent advocate of Congregational prin ciples.
