This reminds us, among other things, how accurate John Bossy’s account of the 17th century English Church and State was (he described ‘Catholicism’ as one of a number of contemporary sects, including Jews, Quakers and others).

Yes, striking in its own way. You could go further and look at the ways in which Catholics were represented in hostil sources and compare that to Jews, Quakers and others. There are a lot of similarities ...
