Abstract

[From the era of Increase Mather to the age of Paul Revere, Boston was the centre of opposition to the English church in the colonies. The debate over an American bishop and the purpose of the missionaries of the S.P.G. never became vigorously declaimed intercolonial issues. There was little sustained interest in the controversies in such communities as New York, Philadelphia, Williamsburg, and Charles Town. Occasionally in the Middle Colonies, pamphlets or newspaper articles appeared from the pen of a Congregational or Presbyterian church leader warning the reader of the consequences of an Anglican prelate. But absent from such challenges was a Congregational or Presbyterian critic of the calibre of Increase or Cotton Mather, Jonathan Mayhew, or Charles Chauncy.]
