the first Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Under whose primacy and influence the reformation of religion was happily effected; and the Church of England restored, and established upon the principles whereon it stands to this day. Wherein are related the said Archbishop's actions in ecclesiastical commissions, and synods ... and many particulars of the ecclesiastical history of those times ... Compiled faithfully from records, registers, state-papers, orders of council, authentic letters, and sundry other original MSS. In four books. To which is added, An appendix, containing various transcripts of records ... Among which will be found the Latin life of this Archbp. entituled, Matthaeus, so much and so long wanted in the editions of British antiquities.
