Old booksellers description affixed to pastedown; "Much information on the principles of Popery."- Bickersteth. John White (1570-1615), vicar and puritan divine, was royal chaplain to James I of England. White had a penchant for showing the Catholic Church as it was resisted through the ages. He thought that the two main things that drew men to "popery" were "the name of being ancient" and "the reputation of great learning." He felt compelled to demonstrate that the Church of England had not changed its faith. This is a very curious book that exhibits some examples of folk prayers and traditions gathered by White in his time as vicar at Eccles parish, all which he considered to be superstitious belief. He attributed these in part to the continuing influence of Catholic priests, on what remained a largely Catholic local congregation. White complains about the "prodigious ignorance" he found among his parishioners. His work includes notes and references as to marriage amongst the clergy, errors and fraudulent acts of the papists or "papistrie absurd," sermons of the Apocrypha, miracles, devils, monks and nuns. White's work was aimed at all who sought a resolution with the one true church, and especially to his countrymen of Lancashire. Rare on market although some fine institutional copies abound.
