Excerpt from A Treatise of Reformation Without Tarying for Anie HE tract now first presented to the public in an English edition is that most popularly associated with the name of Robert Browne. It does not, as is commonly supposed, enunciate the theory of Congregational Independency but J it affirms a higher and more comprehensive principle, that of the mutual independence of Church and State. The original edition, printed in Holland m 1582, is extremely rare; only three Copies being known. A few years ago it was published in a cheap form in America. From an original at Yale College; and the present edition is from the American reprint, carefully collated with an original in the British Museum. It seems desirable to prefix a short biographical notice of the author who, besides being loaded with obloquy by opponents, has had the strange fortune of being repudiated by many of his most consistent disciples.

The is the first of four volumes in a series which illustrates the origins, polities, theologies, worship and socio-political aspects of the several nonconformist traditions of Britain over the period 1550 to 1700.
Robert Harrison and Robert Browne were the initiators of the principles of English Separatism and Congregationalism. Unlike the Presbytero-Puritans, these nonconformists sought to establish local churches that were independent of the state. Although they encountered fierce opposition from the clergy, state officials and Anglican bishops, they persisted in their practices. As a result, the ideas of these two men profoundly influenced the Puritan movement both of England and America. In this volume, scarce and little known works, as well as new material derived from manuscripts and tracts are collected into one volume.

Originally published in the 1950s by George Allen & Unwin. When originally published, these volumes were making available very rare material (tracts and manuscripts etc.) for the very first time. Most of the documents exist in their original state as difficult to locate, read and understand - for example: there are only two copies of A Plaine Refutation (1591) and two copies of A Brief Discoverie of the False Church. It is impossible to understand the rise and development of Independency and of the democratic idea in religion and in politics without reflection upon some of this rare material.
