Excerpt from The Case of the Regale and of the Pontificate Stated: In a Conference Concerning the Independency of the Church Upon Any Power on Earth, in the Exercise of Her Purely Spiritual Power and Authority
The following Treatise on the Regal and Papal supremacy was published in the year 1702, when the principles of the Ecclesiastical and Civil powers had been thrown into con fusion by the Revolution of 1688. Its object is to fix the respective limits of these several authorities, and to exhibit the true theory of their combined Operation in the so-called union of Church and State.
It is hoped that its present republication may serve as an antidote to the false opinions which still prevail on this vital question, and at this moment threaten to bring the gravest practical evils upon the Church of England.
