Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a heated religious controversy of the late 16th century, a time when England was grappling with the legacy of the Reformation. The author focuses on the debate surrounding the governance of the Church of England, specifically the role of bishops. The book's primary target is John Bridges, a prominent defender of the established order, who argued that the structure of the Church, including the authority of bishops, was divinely ordained and therefore immutable. The author, writing under the pseudonym Martin Marprelate, fiercely criticizes Bridges and the "terrible priests" who support him, arguing that their arguments are weak and illogical. Marprelate argues that the Church should be governed according to the principles of the New Testament, which he believes were distorted by the bishops' insistence on their own authority. Marprelate also attacks the bishops' personal character and behavior, accusing them of hypocrisy, greed, and corruption. Marprelate's writing is a satirical and witty assault on the establishment, exposing the contradictions and inconsistencies in the arguments of the bishops. He employs humor and sharp wit to highlight the flaws in their logic, effectively using satire as a weapon against their authority. The bookââ â¢s insights into the tensions within the Elizabethan Church provide a fascinating glimpse into the complex social and religious landscape of a period in transition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives deep into the religious and political landscape of Elizabethan England, tackling the heated debate over the legitimacy of the established Church of England hierarchy. The author, an anonymous Puritan, challenges the authority of Archbishop John Whitgift and his fellow bishops, arguing that their positions violate the principles of true Christian governance. The author contends that the biblical model of church leadership consists of pastors, doctors, elders, and deacons, and that any deviation from this structure constitutes a distortion of Christ's intended order. They accuse the bishops of being "petty popes," claiming that their lordship over other ministers contradicts the teachings of Jesus. The book explores the implications of this conflict on the relationship between church and state, asserting that the civil magistrate has a duty to uphold the true form of church government. The author argues that the bishops' actions not only undermine the authority of the church but also pose a threat to the well-being of the nation. Ultimately, this book unveils the profound clash between Puritan ideals and the established ecclesiastical order. It sheds light on the complexities of religious and political power dynamics during a pivotal period in English history, offering valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for religious freedom and the nature of legitimate authority.

This book is a passionate defense of the importance of respecting bishops and other church leaders, written in response to the mockery and contempt toward them that was spreading in the late 1500s.
