Excerpt from The Reconstruction of the English Church, Vol. 2 A very careful compilation of figures has been made by select ing from the most trustworthy sources1 the actual number of minis ters who had been summoned or who were thought to be noncon formable, with a View of finding how many men might have been pro ceeded against. It should not be forgotten that every minister, who was properly Puritan, felt himself threatened by the orders to en force conformity and that therefore very nearly the whole strength of the party ought to be found in the estimate. The tally of 297 men2 gives nearly the figure we meet so often in Puritan accounts, and is very near the 281 men whose names are now known as adhe rents of the party.' The figure 300, therefore, which we meet so often is more likely the number of men who believed themselves to be threatened than the number who were actually proceeded against by the bishops.
