" A Defence Of The Innocencie Of The Three Ceremonies Of The Church" Thomas Morton, 1618 (1st Edition)
This authoritative treatise was written to address and refute Puritan criticisms of certain Church of England practices, which Puritans viewed as remnants of Roman Catholic tradition. Morton’s work provides a defense of the “three ceremonies,” highlighting their role as symbols of order and continuity within the Anglican tradition, while also underscoring the broader religious tensions of the period. Officially published to support the established church’s policies and episcopal authority, this volume offers valuable insight into the theological and political debates that shaped early 17th-century English religious life.
