1685 John Jewel 1^ed Apology Church England Elizabeth I Catholic Protestant BOYLE

John Jewel was a 16^th-century English bishop known for his support of Elizabeth I and the Church of England. Shortly after the Protestant Reformation in mainland Europe, Jewel wrote an ‘Apology of the Church of England’ – a work of political significance which describes doctrine and faith practices of the Church of England under Elizabeth I. This book served as a necessary defense against Catholic Romanists’ claims of heresy and provided a clear justification of Anglican and Protestant faiths.

This 1685 first English edition of Jewel’s ‘Apology’ was translated by Robert Boyle.
