A Few English Notes On A Late Sermon Preached Before The Sons Of The Clergy, By Dr. Bisse, Intended To Vindicate The English Reformation From The Charge Of Sacrilege,. In A Letter To The Reverend Dr. ---- Dean Of John Lewis offers a detailed critical response to Dr. Bisse’s sermon delivered before the Sons of the Clergy. The pamphlet, issued around 1717 in London, argues that Bisse’s charges against the English Reformation are misrepresented or exaggerated. Lewis conducts a line-by-line examination of the Doctor’s arguments, defending the English Reformation and challenging claims about sacral abuses, the wealth and power of monastic and clerical estates, and the legitimacy of impropriations and episcopal authority. He questions the Fathers’ role as ultimate interpreters of Scripture and scrutinizes the sermon’s handling of church governance, ordination, and the “keys.” The work also engages with contemporary critiques such as Walker’s Sufferings of the Clergy and defends a balanced view of ecclesiastical power within the English state. It remains a polemical defense of the Reformation and a critique of clerical privilege in early 18th-century England.
