![[George Alsop] This but the shade of him adorn'd in White...](jpegs/54812.jpg)
[George Alsop] This but the shade of him adorn'd in White...
W. Sherwin fecit.
[London: R. Reynolds, 1669.]
Rare engraving. Sheet 110 x 80mm (4¼ x 3¼"). Trimmed to image, notch in bottom edge.
Portrait of George Alsop, the frontispiece of his ''An Orthodox Plea for the Sanctuary of God, Common Service, and White Robe of the House''. This was a polemic in support of church worship. While he does not mention any nonconformist sects by name, he condemns 'wretches' who claim to have 'a quickening spirit within them that informs them of all things', apparently a reference to the Quaker 'inner light'. Alsop was ordained deacon by Henry King, Bishop of Chichester c.1666, then priest in 1669.
