Very scarce little work of historical fiction based on real events from the Great Ejection in August of 1662, in which the likes of Thomas Manton, John Owen, Thomas Watson, and 2,000 other divines, largely Presbyterian, Congregationalists, Baptists, and Independents, were simultaneously ousted from their churches for non-confirmity.
No other copies on the market we can locate.
