Abstract:This chapter looks at the theology of three representative figures—Richard Baxter, Richard Allestree, and Richard Alleine—each of whom offered a particular theological option after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. Characteristic of this period of time would be a tendency to conflate religion and morality. The Evangelicals would recoil from Allestree’s moralism and eventually discover they had much in common with the theology of Baxter and Alleine
