Excerpt from A Collection of Papers All Written, Some of Them Published, During the Late Rebellion
To\ fay that Forms are effential, is as ridiculous, as it would be uncharitable to fay, that we capnot be faved without them. The Nonjuring Part of. The Jacobite Cler gy~ (perhaps the molt innocent Part of them) maintain a mol'c abfurd, antichrillian, and fanatical Pofition,' that without the Form of a Bilhop's Hand, no Man, however pious or learned, can preach the Gofpel, or adminifier' the Ordinances and that whoever has pafi'ed through that Form, however ignorant or wicked, is a Minifier of Chrifi. Neither can this Form' be obtained without an awful Declaration, which I doubt no Man in his Senfes could make, with a fafe Confcience, that in applying for it he is called by the Holy Ghol't.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of Christianity, arguing that the concept of an infallible spiritual authority outside of Scripture holds dangerous potential for religious and political persecution throughout history. The author examines the rise of the Papacy, the establishment of the Inquisition, the English Reformation, and the persecution of religious minorities in France to illustrate how the claim to infallible religious authority has been used to justify discrimination, violence, and oppression. By tracing the historical precedents for religious intolerance, this book reveals the importance of safeguarding individual conscience and the separation of church and state as essential to a free and just society. Through a comprehensive examination of historical events and religious practices, the author demonstrates the detrimental effects of religious extremism and provides valuable insights into the relationship between faith, power, and the human condition.
