is proved from undeniable Matter of Fact and Reason, that Separation from the
Church of England is, in the judgment of Papists, and by sad experience, found
the most compendious way to introduce Popery, and to ruine the Protestant Religion.

edition, one of two simultaneous issues (both have the same uncorrected errata).
The ‘first part’ <span style="color:rgb(33,37,41);">of the present
volume is not so much a ‘second edition’ of Nalson, but a recasting by Ware,
using Nalson's slightly more credible authority to pass off more fictions than
before (see Bib# </span>4102884/Fr#393 of this collection).<span style="color:rgb(33,37,41);"> But the main element is the much longer
"second part," where Robert Ware's most celebrated forgery initiates
the volume. </span>Contains, among other, new forgeries by Ware, the first
printing of the celebrated address by Archbishop Cranmer to Edward VI, at his
coronation in 1547, which took in John Strype and virtually every Reformation
historian until Diarmaid MacCulloch in 2011 (“Foxes, Firebrands, and Forgery:
Robert Ware’s Pollution of Reformation History,” Historical Journal, 54, 2, pp.
307–46) – and MacCulloch himself had been victimized in his Thomas Cranmer, A
Life (New Haven, CT, 1996). See<span style="color:rgb(33,37,41);"> </span>D.
