Foxes and fire-brands: or A specimen of the danger and harmony of popery and separation: Wherein is proved from undeniable matter of fact and reason, that separation from the Church of England is, in the judgement of papists, and by sad experience, found the most compendious way to introduce popery, and to ruine the Protestant religion.

London: Printed for Benjamin Tooke, 1680. First edition. Extracted from a bound volume, with the stitch marks visible. A defense of Protestantism against Catholic usurpation by the English historian and pamphleteer, John Nalson (1638 - 1686). Nalson is noted for claiming that French Cardinal Richelieu fomented rebellion in Ireland and Scotland so that England was preoccupied with internal strife to the detriment of its position in Europe.

Here Nalson calls for vindication of the Church of England clergy falsely accused of being "Popishly affected" in a papal Bull, and lists the names of the clergy to be cleared of the charge.

8vo, [6] pp, 33 pp. Dedication signed "Philirenes", the pseudonym of John Nalson. OCLC: 10796483. Very good condition. Item #25441
