	XVI. The Literature of Dissent: Bibliography. Vol. 10. The Age of Johnson. The Cambridge History of English and ...
		The general literature of the history of dissent is in an unsatisfactory condition.
		The biographical literature of dissent is, comparatively, abundant, especially in Calamy, Edmund, Abridgement of Baxter’s life, 1702: 2nd edn., 2 vols.
		Several of the dissenting colleges possess large collections of the pamphlet literature of this subject; but, probably, the most comprehensive of these collections is in Dr. Williams’s Library, Gordon Square, where a special catalogue of this subject, containing several hundred items, has lately been compiled.

	nonconformists. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Nonconformity in England appeared not long after the Reformation in the secession from the Established Church of such small groups as the Brownists (see Browne, Robert) and, a little later, the Pilgrims.
		After the victory of the Puritan party in that war, a Presbyterian church establishment was adopted (1646), but in that period also the separatists, or Independents, gained a stronger foothold.
		The term dissenter similarly came into use, particularly after the Toleration Act (1689), in which reference was made to the “Protestant Dissenters.” Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, Quakers, Unitarians, and Methodists are among the nonconforming denominations in England.

	Court: Institutionalizing English Literature
		The new dissenting academies were important to the development of English studies in the early years of the eighteenth century because they dared to experiment with curricula, including specifically the teaching of English literature.
		English literary study survived, though barely, in Scotland for the remainder of the eighteenth century.
		By the mid-nineteenth century, English literary study emerged as the ideal carrier for the propagation of the humanist cultural myth of a welleducated, culturally harmonious nation, in agreement on fundamental social goals and blessed with a sense of spiritual continuity.

	English Dissenters
		Prior to this date the most notable item of legal indulgence which the government granted was the provision in 1779 that Dissenters, instead of being required to subscribe to the Anglican articles as a condition of exercising the office of minister or schoolmaster, should simply make a general declaration of their Christian faith.
		The relative superiority of the Presbyterians among English Dissenters was not maintained.
		The writings of the latter in particular were influential in spreading the conviction among English Baptists that it is not worth while to sacrifice to mere technical consistency both catholicity and consistency of the deeper and better kind.

	English Dissenters: Puritans
		The English delegation was invited to sign the document, which they basically agreed with in principal, but they declined respectfully indicating that they were committed to their own Church authority.
		The state of the English Church when Charles I came to the throne was still much in the mode of his father, James I. There was a general accommodation between the Calvinist bishops and the clergy.
		An English puritan nation was not the desired goal of the Civil Wars or of the general population.

	A Note on Protestant Dissent and the Dissenters
		The origins of eighteenth century English Dissent are to be found in the Puritan theology of the seventeenth century.
		Fundamental to English Dissent was a willingness to demystify the Christian faith by considering its principles in accordance with human reason alone.
		The Dissenters, frustrated by their failures to repeal the Test and Corporation Acts and their abortive pleas for civic equality, renewed their support for parliamentary reform and responded to the new challenge of "Church and King" clubs by organizing new radical societies.

	BURRAGE Chapter 8, Section 2, Champlin Burrage, The Early English Dissenters In the Light of Recent Research ...
		Among those to oppose the views of the Seekers were the English General Anabaptists, who as early as 1611 seem to have confounded them with the Family of Love, though the Familists so far as I am aware, never held the previously mentioned views which were evidently peculiar to the Seekers.
		At first the English Seekers seem to have been known as English Arians, or Legatine-Arians, after the name of the three brothers Legate.
		In conclusion it should be added that the English Seekers do not appear to have been of much influence before the period of the Civil Wars and the Commonwealth.

	Herman: Dean and Dissenters
		The apparent reliance of the dissenters upon money rather than land, their infiltration of the political system and their support of the Whigs made them suspect to the land owning Tories who had considered power to be prerogative of estate.
		It is therefore a point worth making that his depiction of dissenters underwent considerable changes in his most popular works from the end of the seventeenth century until the end of Anne's reign.
		But most significantly, dissenters should not be allowed to 'advance their own models upon the ruin of what is already established'.

	Literature of Liberty 1980 vol. 2: The Online Library of Liberty
		The radical and innovative role that the dissenters played in the decades after 1760 was in part related to their marginality, and the dissenters themselves sensed that their creative role in English life was related to their exclusion from its mainstream.
		The dissenter not blinded by establishment rewards, and not silenced by the financial advantages of mouthing orthodox truth, is uniquely capable of seeing the appeal of novelty and speaking the words of criticism.
		English industrial capitalists or entrepreneurs (we must call them something) were either too busy making their economic fortunes, or spending them to gain entrée to the landowning and aristocratic class, to be conscious of themselves as a class in opposition to their rulers.

	Family Research - English, Scottish and Irish Genealogy » The Irish Potato Famine
		As new leaders appeared, or as English difficulties gave the opportunity, the Irish rose in rebellion: under the Earl of Tyrone in the 1590s, on the eve of the English Civil War in 1642, against the Cromwellian regime, and again at the time of the Glorious Revolution in 1688.
		They were subject to the same disabilities as English Dissenters, and, even after their heroic resistance to Catholic armies in 1689, the Irish Dissenters had to wait until 1719 to get toleration.
		These steps were clearly based on English assumptions: Irish problems were to be solved by substituting large consolidated farms for the fragmented small holdings of the Irish peasants, and by applying capital in large doses to modernize Irish agriculture.

		The Pilgrims were a group of English Calvinist religious dissenters who fled persecution under Queen Elisabeth I and her successor King James I, taking up residence in Holland, a country where a relative freedom of religion prevailed.
		Leiden, English Leyden, town to the north-east of The Hague, became a centre of Dutch Reformed theology and of science and medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries.
		English Puritan minister called the pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers for his guidance of their religious life before their journey to North-America aboard the "Mayflower" in 1620.

		Kramnick notes that because large numbers of English Dissenters had emigrated to the America, those Jean d'Alembert'swho remained in England constituted about 7 percent of the population.
		Rational Dissenters and their beliefs, values, and language permeated the non-establishment literary and social circles of the day, and had considerable influence over a wide area of printing and publishing.
		Importantly, dissenting academies held their lectures in English rather than Latin, drawing on a range of English sources which were more easily and rapidly consulted, and more modern in their range of thought.

	Milton and Radical Sects
		Atheists were dissenters, in the vocabulary of some.
		They were said to rely on an inner experience of Christ to deny the authority of Scripture, creeds, and ordination; as a result, they were often confused with Quakers.
		Seekers believed that the spirit of the Antichrist was controlling all organized churches, and that they should wait passively for God to establish a new, true church through new apostles or prophets.

		Yet among the English Protestants of that day it was the Puritan sects with whom the conventional dogma was most likely to become a vital factor in the conduct of life.
		The most serious practical grievance of the dissenters in New England was the obligation imposed upon them of paying the town taxes for the support of the Congregational worship.
		Even in the revolution settlement of 1689 the English dissenters had only been granted a bare toleration, and they were still excluded from public offices, except so far as they chose to qualify themselves by occasionally receiving the sacrament according to the Anglican rites.

	YE OLDE WALLS OF SEPARATION
		In the 1600s and 1700s, the English government loosened the Church’s iron control in a series of parliamentary acts and royal edicts that gave some legal tolerance to non-Anglican Protestants and even Roman Catholics, who still were subject to various forms of oppression, such as double taxes.
		Dissenters in England did not accept the limited intolerance.
		The English dissenters didn’t win their last big battles until the late 19th century, but American dissenters won a crushing victory in the passage of the United States Constitution, written in 1787 and ratified in 1788.

		Henceforth English Dissenters, whose teachers had duly attested their allegiance, and duly subscribed to the thirty-six doctrinal articles of the Church of England, might attend their certified place of worship without molestation from vexatious penal laws.
		But the love and loyalty which, all his life through, he bore towards the English Church was certainly connected not only with a high estimation of its doctrines and modes of worship, but with respect for it as the acknowledged Church of the realm.
		In casting a general glance over the history of the English Church in the eighteenth century, it will be at once seen that there is a greater variety of incident in its earlier years than in any subsequent portion of the period.

	WILLIAM TYNDALE Covenant Theologian, Christian Martyr Part 1: Background and Early Biography
		The basic question which they seek to answer is whether the English Reformation — that period and process during which England was transformed from a mostly Catholic to a mostly Protestant nation — must be understood as, in essence, an upward-driving popular phenomenon or a downward-pressing imposition by certain segments of the elite.
		Crucial to his thesis is the persistence of Lollard presence, doctrines, and sympathies among a broad base of the English population throughout the fifteenth and into the sixteenth centuries.
		By the way, as we go through this, notice how often the authorities speak of the spread of these ideas in terms of epidemiology, and will seek to address it by containing it, as if it were a public health issue.

	John Locke Bibliography--Part I -- Epistola de tolerantia
		Locke’s concern for the toleration of religious dissent, for the interaction of individual conscience and public authority, was long-standing.
		Without certainty in matters of religion, the conscience must be allowed liberty; the authority of the magistrate must be confined to preserving the existence of society and the safety and property of the citizen.
		Although there is little evidence on the latter point, it is true that it was the Popple translation which was attacked by Proast and others and which was defended by Locke, a point made by James Tully in the introduction to Locke #67.
