Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anglican Catholicity Vindicated Against Roman Innovations: In the Answer of Isaac Casaubon
Thus it has happened that this short Latin Tract, being composed by the first scholar and one of the most learned theologians of his age, and revised, so to say, by Andrewes, the light and ornament of the English Church, is really a valuable summary of the points of difference between Eng land and Rome. Among casaubon's more voluminous and important publications it has been to some degree overlooked, and indeed the old English translation is so rare that there is probably no copy in this country except the one from which this reprint has been made.
Under these circumstances, and seeing that the con troversy with Rome on the very points that casaubon touches, is waxing warmer and warmer, it seemed worth while to make accessible this admirable treatise, which contains within the compass of a few pages of racy English (interesting even from a literary point of view) a statement of England's position as authoritative as any utterance can be, save the ipsissima verba of the Prayer Book and Articles themselves.
