… century situation, comparing the orthodox Anglican position with the particular views of Anglican Thomas Cartwright and certain Presbyterians and Separatists.
Concerning Mr Wilson’s strong criticism of King James, and the wish that he had been given more space in my book, I can only say that James was not one of my mentors and I only referred to him when he came into their stories and when he played a most positive role and certainly did not act the fool, as Mr. Wilson suggests. …
