Description

Excerpt from An Answer in Defence of the Truth: Against the Apology of Private Mass
The work here reprinted is one which is not merely interesting from its great rarity and its connexion with the controversy raised by Bishop Jewel's famous challenge to the Papists, but of importance from its intrinsic excellence. Of the Author of the Popish Treatise prefixed, entitled An Apology of private Mass, (which seems to have been circulated only in MS. until it was printed in this work in conjunction with the Answer, ) I am unable to give any account, having failed in discovering any intimation of the name of the writer. The reply to it which follows, entitled An Answer in defence of the truth, against the Apology of private Mass, has been sometimes attributed to Bishop Jewel; as for instance, in the Bodleian Catalogue, Oxon. 1738 (under Missa), and from hence by Watt in his "Bibliotheca Britannica," and (probably on the same authority) by Dr Jelf, in his recent edition of the works of Bishop Jewel, (see Vol. iv. p. 201 and Vol. v. p. 62.)
