With a sharp focus on the dangers posed by loyalists to the Pretender and the insidious influence of Papists, Defoe articulates a compelling defense of the Protestant establishment. This document is essential for students, civic activists, and historians seeking to understand the intricate dynamics of loyalty, religion, and power during this pivotal era.
