The Jesuits A correspondence relative to a lecture so entitled, recently delivered before the Islington Protestant Institute by the Rev. Edward Hoare, M.A., incumbent of Christ Church, Ramsgate

"The Jesuits" by Henry Waller and Edward Hoare is a historical debate arising from a lecture, focusing on moral duties tied to the Jesuit Order's rules. The book's core is a lively back-and-forth between Waller and Hoare about whether Jesuit superiors could order members to commit serious sins. Waller challenges Hoare's viewpoint, leading to a detailed examination of Jesuit writings and the weight of obeying higher-ups, and arguing the rules don't force Jesuits to act immorally. This discussion brings understanding to the inner conflicts about Jesuit behavior and mirrors the bigger Protestant-Catholic issues of the period.
