Excerpt from A Vindication of Protestant Principles, by Phileleutherus Anglicanus
The Notes at the end are not an aftergrowth, but an integral part of the book. I have printed them separately, because I did not wish to encumber my pages with references, to interrupt the argument with subordinate though necessary matter, or to fatigue the general reader with philological discussions, in which he might take little or no interest.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of Protestantism in England, detailing how, from its inception in the humanist teachings of William of Ockham, Protestantism moved from a continental movement to one that found a home in the English Reformation. The author, writing in the 19th century, proposes that the true Protestant spirit allowed for liberty of conscience in religious practice and opinion, combined with an acceptance of a unified set of doctrines from the Bible. During the reign of Henry VIII, already in dispute with the Pope over the annulment of his marriage, England separated from the Catholic Church, but not from the doctrines of Rome. It was not until the reign of Edward VI that Protestantism began to take hold in England, with the influence of the continental reformer, Melanchthon, and the publication of the first version of the Thirty -Nine Articles, providing a basis for the beliefs of the reformed English church, the Articles being revised and expanded in Elizabeth's reign. In this history of the English Reformation, the author argues that this new church was intended to be as broad as possible to allow the inclusion of as many conscientious Protestants as possible, but also that the Reformation in England had been waylaid by the later extremism of Puritans and the opposing reactions of the Church establishment. Ultimately, the author contends that the true principles of Protestantism, as seen in the development of the English church, allow for the coexistence and unity of diverse Protestant expressions within a common framework of core Christian beliefs.
