JUS ECCLESIASTICUM ANGLICANUM;

OR,

THE GOVERNMENT OF

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND

EXEMPLIFIED AND ILLUSTRATED.

"and the same men, who were preparing to violate one of the first duties of morality, affected
the highest regard for religion. History relates these extravagances of the human mind, without pretending
to justify, or even to account for them; and regulating her own opinions by the eternal and immutable laws
of justice and of virtue, points out such inconsistencies as features of the age which she describes, and records
them for the instruction of ages to come."-ROBERTSON.

DOCTOR AND PROFESSOR OF CIVIL LAW, MEMBER OF JESUS COLLEGE, CAMBRidge, and COMMISSIONED
