Publisher Description:
By narrating a protracted and frequently bizarre altercation between a London minister and a member of his flock, this book provides a vivid picture of puritanism at the parish level in early Stuart England, and places this dispute in the multiple social, cultural, and political contexts necessary to understand it.
