Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse of Church Government: Wherein the Rights of the Church and the Supremacy of Christian Princes Are Vindicated and Adjusted
Several books having appeared of late years, wherein either the rights of the church, or the supremacy of christian princes, or both together have been invaded, it was thought convenient that something should be published, wherein the grounds, on which the church of England ever since the reformation, and other ancient churches before the papal usurpation, have at once maintained their own inherent rights, and the just prerogative of the civil magistrate, should be explained and vindicated, for the satisfaction of honest and well disposed persons, without entering into controversy with any particular writer.
