About this book
The History of Persecution, from the Patriarchal Age, to the Reign of George II is by Samuel Chandler. The text argues that the disturbances which were raised, and the severities which were used upon the account of religion, proceeded from the bigotry of the clergy, contrary to the desire and intention of the civil magistrate. The text says that before the ministers of the reformed party were engaged in the controversy with Arminius, their zeal was continually exerting itself against the anabaptists, whom they declared to be excommunicated and cut off from the church.
The text says Dr. Chandler was a man of very extensive learning, and eminent abilities, and describes him as a very instructive and animated preacher. A numbered list in the text says in its ninth point that, when the crimes cannot be proved against the prisoner, he is not absolved from the crime of which he is accused, but only from prosecution.
