A Life of John Cosin, Bishop of Durham, 1660-1672 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Life of John Cosin, Bishop of Durham, 1660-1672

The period covered by the life Of Cosin (1595 1672) was one the importance of which cannot be exaggerated. His was the age and the generation which completed the Reformation Of the English Church - the period which saw the rise, the fall, and the subsequent triumph Of what, for the want of a better name, we must call Anglicanism. The facts and the features Of the period are too familiar to allow Of any de tailed discussion here; but, in order that the life Of Cosin may be related to the history of his time, it is necessary to pass rapidly over the well-worn ground.
