Anonymous. The first two parts attributed to Samuel Hieron, the third probably by a different hand.
Booke of conformitie = the Church of England's Constitutions and canons, 1603.
A reply to the two parts of "Reasons for refusal of subscription to the booke of common praier" by Thomas Hutton; "A brotherly perswasion to unitie, and uniformitie in judgement, and practise touching the received, and present ecclesiasticall government, and the authorised rites and ceremonies of the Church of England" by Thomas Sparke; "A briefe answer unto certaine reasons by way of an apologie delivered to the Right Reverend Father in God, the L. Bishop of Lincolne" by William Covell; and to works by Francis Mason and Thomas Rogers.
The first two parts were printed by W. Jones' secret press, the third possibly in Amsterdam by J. Hondius (STC).
"The second parte of the defence of the ministers reasons for refusal of subscription & conformitie to the book of common prayer" and "A dispute vpon the question of kneeling, in the acte of receiving the sacramentall bread and wine, proving it to be unlawfull" each have separate register, pagination, and title page dated 1608; the second part has an additional title page, "The second parte of the defense of the ministers reasons for refusal of subscription to the booke of common praier, and of conformity &c.". The three parts were probably published separately.
