RESTORATION ERA (1660-1789)
For his Religion, it was fit
To match his learning and his wit;
'Twas Presbyterian true blue; Hudibras
For he was of that stubborn crew By : Samuel Butler
Of errant saints, whom all men grant
To be the true Church Militant;
Such as do build their faith upon
The holy text of pike and gun;
Decide all controversies by
Infallible artillery;
And prove their doctrine orthodox
By apostolic blows and knocks;
Call fire and sword and desolation,
A godly thorough reformation,
Which always must be carried on,
And still be doing, never done;
As if religion were intended
For nothing else but to be mended. (Lines 189-206)
