520 _a"Ecclesiastical History of England, Volume 2—The Church of the Commonwealth" by John Stoughton is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume explores the state of the Church in England during the period of the Commonwealth, specifically from the opening of the Long Parliament to the death of Oliver Cromwell. It delves into the interplay between ecclesiastical authority and governmental power, highlighting the conflicts and developments that arose as England transitioned away from monarchy. The opening of this work introduces the significant political and ecclesiastical shifts following the death of Charles I. It outlines the leadership of figures such as Oliver Cromwell, Sir Henry Vane, and Henry Marten within the newly formed Commonwealth, focusing on their anti-presbyterian stance and desire for religious toleration. The narrative sets up a framework for understanding the complexities of governance under Cromwell and the emerging challenges from various religious factions, indicating that the struggle for control over religious practices would be a central theme throughout the volume.
