"As one of London's most popular preachers and later as Archbishop of Canterbury, [Tillotson] led a movement within the Church to secure a greater comprehension for nonconformists, stressing the essential reasonableness of the faith and the need for a minimal creed. He believed that the differences between the majority of dissenters and Anglicans did not involve theological matters but instead centred on less important questions of order and practice. . . . He was an active participant in the effort to forward both a Toleration Bill and a Comprehension Bill in the aftermath of the 1688 Revolution. . . . Tillotson's clear and simple pulpit style, as evidenced in over 250 published sermons, placed him at the forefront of an intense controversy within the Church of England over the role of reason in the life of the spirit" [Dictionary of Seventeenth Century British Philosophers 2: 811].

Title-page in red and black. Contemporary account of the Albigensian heresy and the crusade (the first history thereof?) to suppress it, begun in 1209. The Albigensians or Cathars were a Gnostic sect that originated in Languedoc in the middle of the 10th century. They rejected the orthodox triune concept of God; believed the world was evil, having been created by the evil Demiurge known to Christians as Satan; believed in reincarnation (and thus did not discrimate against women, whose souls could have previously been male); and performed no marriage ritual, frowning on procreation, as a result of which belief the term "buggery" was coined (after the "Bulgars"), since this sexual practice at least ensured that no children would be brought into the evil world. Inquire | Order $350.00

The Albigensian crusade began a long period of strife in southern France, which ultimately led to the elimination of the Cathars and Catharism and to the incorporation of the region into modern France -- linguistically and culturally the denizens of the region were closer to the Catalonians in northern Spain. The ongoing suppression of the group led to the establishment of the Inquisition in Toulouse in 1229 in order to rid the region of heresy.
