Puritan Discipline Tracts: An Epistle To The Terrible Priests Of The Convocation House is a historical book written by Mar-Prelate (a pseudonym for Martin Marprelate), originally published in 1588. This edition was published in 1843. The book is a satirical attack on the Church of England and its clergy, particularly those who attended the Convocation House (a meeting place for high-ranking church officials).The book is written in the form of an open letter, or epistle, addressed to the priests of the Convocation House. Mar-Prelate uses humor, sarcasm, and biting criticism to mock the clergy and their practices. He accuses them of being corrupt, lazy, and hypocritical, and calls for a return to the strict discipline of the early Christian church.The book is an important example of Puritan literature and a reflection of the religious and political tensions of the time. It was highly controversial when it was first published and was banned by the authorities. Despite this, it was widely read and had a significant impact on the Puritan movement in England.Overall, Puritan Discipline Tracts: An Epistle To The Terrible Priests Of The Convocation House is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into the religious and political upheavals of 16th-century England. It is a valuable resource for scholars of English literature, history, and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
