ABBOT ( Robert ). The Second Part of the Defence of the Reformed Catholicke. Wherein the religion established in our Church of England (for the points here handled) is apparently iustified by authoritie of Scripture, and testimonie of the auncient Church, against the vaine cauillations collected by Doctor Bishop seminary priest, as out of other popish writers, so especially out of Bellarmine, and published vnder the name of The marrow and pith of many large volumes, for the oppugning thereof. Londini [R. Field], impensis George Bishop. 1607Pages (16), 176, 187-1241, (1, blank), complete thus in spite of pagination jump, 4to, contemporary boards - all that is presently left of the original calf or vellum binding, but the cords are strong and the boards are secure : a very good to nice, well-margined copy. STC 49. Abbot ( 1559/60-1618), Bishop of Salisbury. His reputation was increased by the publication in 1594 of his ‘Mirror of Popish Subtleties,’ designed as a refutation of the arguments advanced by Sander and Bellarmine against the protestant theory of the sacraments. But the work which chiefly served to establish his reputation with his contemporaries was his ‘Defence of the Reformed Catholike of Mr. William Perkins’ (published in three separate parts, 1606–9). The ‘Reformed Catholike’ of that eminent divine was admitted by writers of the Roman party to be the ablest exposition of heretical belief, and Abbot, in his ‘Defence,’ clearly indicates his sympathy with the puritan party, deriving the true tradition of the early church through the Albigenses, Lollards, Huguenots, and Calvinists, in distinct opposition not only to Tridentine doctrine, but also to the views of the Arminian party, which were then beginning to gather strength within the English church (pt. ii. p. 55). In the concluding part he drew ‘the true ancient Roman Catholike’ as he himself conceived the character (DNB).english pre 1641; THEOLOGY; RELIGION; STC; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
