An Apologeticall Narration
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
An Apologeticall Narration was theological tract submitted by five Independent preachers to the English Parliament on 3 January 1644.
An Apologeticall Narration was written by Thomas Goodwin, Philip Nye, Sidrach Simpson, Jeremiah Burroughs and William Bridge sometimes referred to collectively as the "Five Dissenting Brethren".[1] Veronica Wedgwood argues that by submitting the tract direct to Parliament, rather than the Westminster Assembly, this was an effective way of bringing their point of view to a wider public without exposing it to controversy in the Assembly, where it would have faced being out-argued and they themselves would have been outnumbered.[2]
Adam Steuart published a rebuttal in February.[3]
