Publisher's Synopsis
""How The Members Of The Church Of England Ought To Behave Themselves Under A Roman Catholic King: With Reference To The Test And Penal Laws"" is a book written in 1687 by an anonymous member of the Church of England. The book discusses the behavior that members of the Church of England should display if they were to live under a Roman Catholic king, specifically in relation to the Test and Penal Laws. The Test Acts were a series of laws that required public officials to take oaths of allegiance to the Church of England and renounce the authority of the Pope. The Penal Laws were a set of laws that restricted the rights of Catholics in England. The book argues that members of the Church of England should remain loyal to their king, but also maintain their allegiance to their own church. The author suggests that the Church of England should be allowed to maintain its own laws and practices, even if they differ from those of the Roman Catholic Church. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious tensions and political climate of England in the late 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
