The Restoration of King Charles II to the throne of England brought about a marked reaction from the austere regime of the Cromwells. This reaction took the form of widespread political immorality and wholesale licentiousness in social mores. Popular sentiment was such that laws and proclamations could do nothing to stem the tide of licentiousness and religious indifference. The only avenue open to reform was the organization of voluntary societies for the cultivation and support of a devotional and moral life.
