About This Item
London, England: Ri. Chiswell at the Rose and Crown; Printed by R. Roberts, 1700. Second Edition, Corrected. Leather-bound. Good Plus. Folio, 13.25 in. x 8 in., pp. xxiv, 396. Contemporary Cambridge Panel calf with decorative floral design stamped in blind to front and back. Gilt title on burgundy panel, and six raised bands to spine. Rubbing to extremities. Head and tail caps of spine missing. Corners nudged. Four inch separation of covers along front and rear gutters, but threads holding well. Previous owner's name tidily written at top of title page. Spine and hinges tight. Gilbert Burnet (1643-1715) was Bishop of Sarum (Salisbury), and a respected preacher, academic, writer and historian. Closely associated with the Whig party, he was one of the few close friends with whom King William III confided, and hence the dedication to the King in this volume. This book was first published in 1699.
The Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, finalised in 1571, are the historically defining statements of doctrines and practices of the Church of England with respect to the controversies of the English Reformation. The Thirty-nine Articles form part of the Book of Common Prayer used by the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion (including the Episcopal Church), as well as by denominations outside of the Anglican Communion that identify with the Anglican tradition.
