This is an historical vindication of the Church of England concerning its separation from the Roman Church and its reformation under Queen Elizabeth I. Originally written by Sir Roger Twysden (1597-1672), this volume defends the theological and historical basis for the Church of England's independence. "An Historical Vindication of the Church of England" provides a detailed account of the schism, offering arguments and evidence to support the Church's position. This edition, carefully edited, presents Twysden's work to a modern audience, shedding light on the complex religious and political landscape of the 16th and 17th centuries. It remains a valuable resource for understanding the historical roots of Anglicanism and its enduring theological distinctions.
