the more extreme Protestants inside and outside the Church of England who found
the Elizabethan religious settlement unacceptable and wished a further
"purification" of religion. They looked more and more to the bible as
the sole authority, rejecting all tradition in matters of public worship, and
were mainly Calvinist in outlook and theology. They feature in the 16th and
17th cent as Brownists, Barrowists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Separatists, and
Independents, and were sometimes called Precisionists from their punctiliousness
over religious rules and observances. After the Restoration and the Act of
Uniformity (1662), they became collectively known as Dissenters or
Nonconformists. [BD]
Donatists -- schismatic
