Presumably published immediately after the Glorious Revolution, and vindicating the Church of England and the Test Acts. The Acts, from 1673 and 1678, aimed at excluding Roman Catholics from public office, by insisting on both a denial of Transubstantiation, and the taking of Communion in the Church of England rite within 3 months of taking office. James II had moved towards suspension and repeal of the Test acts.
