| Summary | "Ecclesiastical History of England, Volume 4—The Church of the Restoration" by John Stoughton, D.D. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the intricate relationship between the Church and state during the Restoration period in England, focusing on the events surrounding the rise of anti-Catholic sentiment and the struggles faced by Nonconformists under the rule of Charles II. Its detailed examination of key figures and political dynamics makes it a valuable resource for those interested in England's ecclesiastical history during a tumultuous time. The opening of this volume introduces the tumultuous societal climate of 1678, marked by the sensational "Popish Plot" publicized by Titus Oates, which stirred widespread anti-Catholic hysteria. Stoughton recounts how Oates’ unfounded allegations of a Jesuit conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II and convert England to Catholicism incited panic and violence, leading to the persecution of Roman Catholics. The author carefully details the public's reaction, the involvement of various political and ecclesiastical leaders, and the implications these events had on the state of Protestantism and the political landscape. Through this opening, readers gain insight into the intensity of religious fervor and fear that characterized the period, setting a compelling foundation for understanding the complexities of Church and state relations during the Restoration.
