Ecclesiastical History, was an obscure and inconsiderable society of mystics. They were formed about the end of the seventeenth century by an English female fanatic, whose name was Jane Leadley. This woman seduced, by her visions, predictions, and doctrines, several disciples, amongst whom were some persons of learning. She believed that all dissensions amongst Christians would cease, and that the kingdom of the Redeemer would become a scene of charity and felicity, if Christians, disregarding the forms of doctrine or discipline in their several communions, would all join in committing their souls to the care of the internal guide, to be instructed, governed, and formed by his divine impulse and suggestions. She even went farther than this, pretending a divine commission to proclaim the approach of the communion of saints; and declaring that the society established by herself was the true kingdom of Christ. One of her leading doctrines was that of the final restoration of all intelligent beings to perfection and happiness.
