Abstract
Before considering in more detail the structure of thought to which Byrom and Law were committed, we must take note of the sources and influences which in large measure determine its nature, and certainly modify its tone and colour. As may be expected it is in Byrom that these sources and influences can be traced, standing alongside and in stark contrast to his contacts with the deist controversy. Law rarely mentions his sources and influences outside the central one of Boehme; and though on more than one occasion he poured cold water on Byrom’s eclectic and obscure enthusiasms, these were more often than not enthusiasms he shared, while wishing to purge them of their eccentricities and excesses.
