Excerpt from Puritanism and Liberty: Being the Army Debates, 1647-9, From the Clarke Manuscripts With Supplementary Documents Halle r's admirable collection, Tracts on Liberty in the Puritan Revolution, New York 1934, which reproduces nineteen important pamphlets in full and in facsimile. To these pamphlets, and to Professor Halle 's learned introduction and notes, I refer the reader. Two or three 0 my other selections are from material elsewhere reprinted, but not very readily accessible. The rest have never been reprinted. These selections have been edited on principles similar to those em ployed in editing the Debates. The Object has been to present a text at once accurate and intelligible to the modern reader. Omissions have been indicated: three dots for omissions of less than a sentence; three asterisks for longer omissions. See also 'notes on Text' under the different titles.
