Summary:Jones bases his observations on a combination of recent and more dated criticism, which sometimes makes it difficult to gain a handle on his interpretation of the events which he describes; in the final section (1637-62) his comments on 'radical' Independents and Quakers seem somewhat confused. A more persuasive part of his narrative is its opening section, which develops Patrick Collinson's notion that Puritanism was not only doctrine but also a social situation. The historical reflections of Jones, Appleby and White are followed by a 100-page essay by Sell on the 'Doctrinal and Ecumenical Significance' of the 1662 ejections.
