This book explores the influence of Jesuits upon English Separatists during the seventeenth century, with particular attention to the Anabaptists and Quakers. The author argues that the Jesuits saw these groups as potential allies in their campaign against the Church of England, which they saw as a barrier to their plans for a Catholic restoration. He supports this view by presenting evidence of Jesuit infiltration into these sects and by showing how their doctrines and practices were often aligned with those of the Jesuits. He also provides a wealth of historical context, discussing the political and religious turmoil of the period and the role of the Jesuits in fomenting division and conflict. The book deepens our understanding of the complex religious landscape of seventeenth-century England and shines a light on the clandestine activities of the Jesuits, who played a significant role in shaping the course of English history.
