Edition Notes
'Errata' note at end of text. Author supplied by H&L and ESTC.
According to the DNB, Tindal 'First made a sensation in 1706 by a book called 'The Rights of the Christian Church asserted against the Romish and all other Priests who claim an Independent Power over it, &c, and intended to show that the church had no rights of the kind claimed by the high-church party. He was answered by many writers, including his old tutor, Hickes, now a nonjuror, who reports Tindal as saying that he was 'writing a book which would make the clergy mad'. In that aim he succeeded prettywell; over twenty answers appeared'. In the entry for William Wotton, the DNB refers to a visitation sermon, published by Wotton in 1706, 'which attacked Tindal and received much applause.'.
