Copy of Thomas Roger's refutation, April 29, 1598, of Nicholas Bownd's Doctrine of the Sabbath, 1595 [manuscript], 1607?

Contains Roger's unpublished epistolary essay refuting Bownd's Doctrine of the Sabbath with detailed commentary keyed to book and page of Bownd's work. The letter is followed by an anonymous postscript (in the same hand as the copy) claiming that when Bownd read this letter he was immediately moved to repent his opinions, a claim for which there is no evidence. The only published response to Bownd's work by Rogers was Faith, doctrine and religion, 1607.

10 leaves ; 18 x 13 cm.
