This chapter looks at the theology of three representative figures—Richard Baxter, Richard Allestree, and Richard Alleine—each of whom offered a particular theological option after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. Characteristic of this period of time would be a tendency to conflate religion and morality. The Evangelicals would recoil from Allestree’s moralism and eventually discover they had much in common with the theology of Baxter and Alleine

Although Charles II had promised religious tolerance in the Declaration of Breda, during the opening decade of the Restoration multiple laws known as the Clarendon Code were passed, restricting religious worship among most puritans and Catholics. Many resisted including Fifth Monarchists, Quakers, and Baptists such as John Bunyan, who were imprisoned for illegal preaching and assembly. Those who did not accept the new laws were called nonconformists and their ministers were forbidden to preach. Anglican ministers such as Isaac Barrow, John Tillotson, and Edward Stillingfleet established a new style of rational preaching, frequently entering into debates with Catholic writers.
