Reasons for joining the Norfolk and Norwich Protestant Association
in a letter to a clerical friend
Transcribed from the 1840 John Stacy edition by David Price
"Reasons for joining the Norfolk & Norwich Protestant Association" by William Hull is a religious and political treatise written in the early 19th century. The work takes the form of a letter addressing a clerical friend, where Hull articulates his strong convictions about the necessity of joining the Protestant Association in the face of perceived threats from Catholicism. This publication provides insight into the anxieties and motivations surrounding religious identity and communal action during a period marked by tension between Protestantism and Catholic revival in England. In this work, Hull presents a robust argument emphasizing the urgency of the Protestant cause against the resurgence of Catholic influence, which he views as a significant threat to national and spiritual welfare. He expresses concerns about the underhanded tactics employed by adherents of Catholicism and warns of the dangers posed by both external pressures and internal divisions within Protestant circles. Hull calls for unity among Protestants, advocating for collective action through the Association as a means of safeguarding their faith and liberties. His passionate defense reflects the fervor of his convictions and outlines a call to arms for those who share his views, highlighting both the socio-political context of the time and the importance of religious identity in shaping community responses.
