JESUIT INTEREST. 1630 CHARITY MISTAKEN. SCARCE JESUIT TRACT
Knott, Edward. 1630 Charity Mistaken, with the want whereof Catholickes are unjustly charged, for affirming as they do with grief, that Protestancy unrepented destroyes Salvation. Contemp. pigskin binding, worn, aged & discoloured, edges protruding and with significant wear, remains of ties visible, lacking title page, contemp. ink inscriptions to pastedowns & remnants of ffep - incl. one reading 'This work is not recommended as it is a Roman production'. Two bound as one, lacking 3pp127 - 3. Woodcut tailpiece.
This is an extremely scarce tract written by Knott, pseud. Matthew Wilson, provincial of the Society of Jesus. This work was responded to by Christopher Potter in his 1633 work Want of Charity justly charged, answer to a late Popish pamphlet, to which Knott responded with Mercy and Truth. William Chillingworth then responded to this work, and eventually penned 1637 The Religion of Protestants a Safe Way to Salvation, following Knott's response in pamphlet form. 12mo.
