Bah. Isn't the greatest, and most unquestionable, of all freedoms the freedom to worship God the way He wants to be worshipped? Yet a mere 2 years after the Restoration, the Act of Uniformity expelled 2,000 clergy from the Church of England and, with later legislation, put them under serious legal discrimination.<br /><br />Tweedsmuir quotes Pepys, but I encourage him to read Pepy's diary entries for May and June 1662.

And, as regards the oak sprig, monarchist Canadians who find such a thing hard to find where they live could always wear a Loyalist Rose, which, I think, communicates identical values.Sir Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052750849770350973noreply@blogger.com
