CHAPTER II. THE TRANSPLANTING OF CONGREGATIONALISM.
17, The Commons prayed, "that no man hereafter be compelled to make or yield any gift, loan, benevolence, tax, or such like charge, without common consent by Act of Parliament. And that none be called to make answer, or to take such oaths, or to be confined or otherwise molested or disputed concerning the same, or for refusal thereof. And that no freeman may in such manner as is before mentioned be imprisoned or detained."--Extract from the Petition of Right. See J. R. Green, Short History of the English People, pp 486, 487.
