Description

Leather Binding, Rebound, Very Scarce

A very scarce work declaiming Presbyterianism as ESTC citation number R29845. Collated, complete. Signatures run as A-G. Additional title page bound after title, 'Antiquity Triumphing over Novelty; or, Presbytery Proved Popish not Episcopacy'. 'The Authors Letter to an Anti-Episocpall Minister Concerning the Government of the Church' has a separate title page, but a continuous pagination and register, and is also dated 1661, though it is stated that it was written in 1651. Rebound in a quarter morocco binding. Religious works of this period offer an interesting looking into the changing face of religion in Western Europe following the Formation. A historical mid seventeenth century work on the Church of England and episcopal polity. Episcopal policy is a hierarchical form of church governance. Written by 'H.E.', Hugh Edmonds. Very little is known about Edmonds.
