    Description

    Early Edition, Leather Binding

    The fourth edition, corrected. First published in 1699.

    Folio. Signatures run as follows: A-D2, B-Z2 [Z4], [2], Aa-Aaa4.

    Collated, lacking front blanks and half title discarded. 

    Written by Gilbert Burnet, the Lord Bishop of Sarum.

    In this work, Burnet offers an important explanation and defense of the Thirty Nine Articles of the Church of England, originally established in 1571 in an effort to define the beliefs of the Church of England. Burnet covers each article in order, offering both explanation and justification. 

    The work is notable for its sympathy towards traditional Arminian soteriology, something embraced by Burnet following his rejection of Calvinist thought.
