[[File:AcquittalSevenBishops.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8|The [[Seven Bishops]], June 1688; their acquittal was a key factor in the removal of [[James II of England|James]] but five became Non-Jurors out of conscience]]

In modern usage, [[Presbyterian polity|Presbyterian]] and [[Episcopal polity|Episcopalian]] implies differences in both governance and doctrine but this was not the case in the 17th and 18th centuries. ''Episcopalian'' structures were governed by bishops, appointed by the monarch; ''Presbyterian'' implied rule by [[Elder (Christianity)|Elder]]s, nominated by congregations. In an era when "true religion" and "true government" were assumed to be the same thing, arguments over church governance and practice often reflected political differences, not simply religious ones.{{sfn|Wedgwood|1955|pp=93–94}}

In 1688, all three [[State religion|established churches]] were Episcopalian in structure and [[Protestantism|Protestant]] in doctrine, but faced different challenges. In England, over 90% belonged to the [[Church of England]], while the majority of those excluded were [[Nonconformist (Protestantism)|Protestant Nonconformists]] who wanted to reverse the [[Act of Uniformity 1662]] and be allowed to rejoin the Church.{{Sfn|Miller|1978|pp=171–172}} In Ireland, over 75% of the population were Catholic, while the [[Church of Ireland]] was a minority even among Irish Protestants, the majority of whom were Nonconformists concentrated in [[Ulster]]. Nearly 98% of Scots were members of the [[Church of Scotland]], or kirk, far closer in doctrine to Irish Nonconformists than the Church of England and an organisational hybrid, with bishops presiding over Presbyterian structures.{{sfn|McDonald|1998|pp=75–76}}

Post 1745, many Non-Juror meeting houses were closed or destroyed, and further restrictions placed on their clergy and congregants. When Prince Charles died in 1788, he was succeeded by his brother [[Henry Benedict Stuart|Henry]], a [[Cardinal (Catholic Church)|Catholic Cardinal]], and the Episcopal Church now swore allegiance to [[George III of the United Kingdom|George III]], ending the schism with the Qualified Chapels, although the Qualified Chapel in [[Montrose, Angus|Montrose]] remained independent until 1920.

{{sfn|Bertie|2000|p=649}} In 1788 Bishop Charles Rose of Dunblane, and one presbyter, James Brown of Montrose, refused to acknowledge George III and his family, forming a breakaway nonjuring church based in Edinburgh that acknowledged Henry Stuart. However, the church finally ended in 1808 with the death of their last clergyman Donald Macintosh, a noted Gaelic scholar.
