Churches Quarrel Espoused is a historical book written by John Wise, a Congregationalist minister from Massachusetts, in the late 17th century. The book deals with the ongoing conflict between the Congregationalist and Presbyterian churches in New England during this time period. Wise argues that the Congregationalist system, which emphasized local autonomy and individual conscience, was superior to the Presbyterian system, which relied on a centralized authority and strict adherence to doctrine. He also criticizes the Presbyterian church for its perceived lack of tolerance and its tendency towards authoritarianism. The book is considered an important work in the history of American religious thought and provides valuable insights into the theological and social debates of the time.1715. This work is a reply in satire to certain proposals made in answer to this question: What further steps are to be taken, that the Councils may have due constitution and efficacy in supporting, preserving and well-ordering the interest of the churches in this country?
