"Settle wrote two pamphlets in defence of his character ... His second reply, called The character of a popish successour compleat, consists of a defense of his first arguments in The character, the introduction of additional evidence and authorities, and a new and forceful presentation of his arguments against 'the divine right of kings'." - Brown, F. C. Elkanah Settle. p. 66.
