Description:
1689 English Reformation Burnet Henry VIII Elizabeth I Portraits RARE Latin edAs a response to Nicolas Sanders attack on the English Reformation, Gilbert Burnet published a rebuttal that covered the reign of Henry VIII, the second volume covers the reign of Elizabeth I. The work saw such success and popularity that his reputation was enhanced, and the English Parliament gave thanks to Burnet after the completion of Burnet.
Burnet gives evidences of the difficulties and challenges that the Church of England faced against Catholics and the government. Burnet defended his doctrines in this work and "confirmed them in another sermon, in which he also made some reflections on Bishops" that were impactful in English reforms. (Burnet, HRCE, Book III, 307).
This Latin edition was published in 1689 and is considerably rarer than the earlier English printings. It also features 16 impressive copper engraved portraits.
