Summary "Ecclesiastical History of England, Volume 5—The Church of the Revolution" by John Stoughton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines the ecclesiastical developments and context surrounding the Revolution of 1688, particularly focusing on the political and religious shifts of the time. It aims to provide detailed insight into the church's role during this period of upheaval, discussing key figures such as William of Orange and the various factions within the Church of England. The opening of the volume sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the various tensions leading up to the Revolution. It begins with a discussion about William Henry, Prince of Orange, outlining his lineage and early life, while also introducing the broader political climate that fostered his eventual rise to power. It presents a snapshot of the dissatisfaction with King James II's reign, particularly among the English Protestants, and hints at the alliances and maneuvers that would culminate in William's invitation to invade England. This introduction not only emphasizes William's character and beliefs but also establishes the complex interplay of religious and political motivations that dominated the era, setting the foundation for the detailed analysis that follows in the subsequent chapters.
