This is a facsimile copy of a 1853 edition. While there are no missing pages, and the pages are clear of the smearing or darkening that are sometimes a problem with these reprints, the type is blurred, and some letters on the outer edges are missing. It is still readable, bu these issues sometimes force slow reading.This is the second volume of the original set, and opens during the English Civil War, covering the period through the Revolution of 1688, up to 1701. It is VERY detailed, giving blow-by-blow coverage of each year. However, it primarily focuses on the social and military circumstances that affected the Presbyterian Church, rather than theological developments. For example, no mention is even made of the adoption of the Westminster Standards, even though that occurred during the period covered by the book.
Though I have read numerous volumes of the persecution of Presbyterians in Scotland, I was unaware before of the related experiences of the church in Ireland (which consisted primarily of Scots immigrants). While the English parliament adopted the Solemn League and Covenant during the Civil War, committing to the establishment of presbyterianism throughout the three kingdoms, England, Scotland, and Ireland, this commitment was set aside after Cromwell's coup, which brought in his Protectorate. Cromwell established Independency. According to the book, this led to dominance by Baptists in Ireland. After the Restoration of Charles II, the Church of Ireland (episcopalian) was returned to power. The bishops brought many of the Presbyterian ministers to trial for nonconformity. Some were imprisoned, had their property confiscated, and others were banished. Presbyterian meetinghouses were converted to episcopalian use.
This is the lesson I believe was never learned. The Presbyterians accepted Erastianism enough to look to government for their stipends and establishment of their Church. However, as I often remind people today, government power FOR you can also be turned AGAINST you. By conceding the fundamental principle of Erastianism, the Presbyterians had no moral defense against the use of that government power to persecute them.
