The History of the Puritans, Vol. 2 of 5 : Or Protestant Nonconformists; From the Reformation in 1517 to the Revolution in 1688 (Classic Reprint) by Daniel Neal
Excerpt from The History of the Puritans, Vol. 2 of 5: Or Protestant Nonconformists; From the Reformation in 1517 to the Revolution in 1688
The Editor, in revising the first volume of Mr. Neal's "History of the Puritans," was greatly assisted by the authors "Review of the principal facts objected to in that volume." In the volume which is now presented to the public, such aid fails him, as it will also in the succeeding ones, since Dr. Grey's "Examination" did not make its appearance till the declining state of Mr. Neal's health prevented his farther vindication of his work.
The justice due to Mr. Neal's memory and to truth, required the Editor to attempt what could have been done by the author himself with much greater advantage than at this distance of time, from the first statement of the facts, by one who cannot come at all the authorities on which Mr. Neal spake. He has endeavoured, however, to acquit himself with care and impartiality in the examination of Dr. Grey's animadversions, and is not aware that he has passed over any material strictures, extended through a volume of four hundred pages.
Though Dr. Grey's "Examination" may be now little known or sought after, it received, at its first publication, the thanks of many divines of the first eminence; particularly of Dr. Gibson, then bishop of London, and of Dr. Sherlock, then bishop of Salisbury. The latter prelate, writing to the doctor, said, "It is happy that Mr. Neal's account appeared when there was one so well versed in the history, and so able to correct the errors and prejudices. The service you have done must be considered as a very important one by all the friends of the constitution of the church of England."
