Includes index.

Stanisaw Hozjusz, the chief protagonist of the Counter-Reformation in Poland, here offers a refutation of the teachings of the major Lutheran Reformer of South Germany, Johannes Brenz.  As a glance at the index under "l" shows, however, the real target of Hozjusz's attacks is not so much Brenz, but Luther, himself.
