"THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS, or The True Religion long sought, at last found out, amongst all the religions of the world here mention'd, by Martin Brethon, a true prozelyte to the Church of England, Aug. 26, 1685"; consisting of a dictionary of churches, sects, and religious opinions, in alphabetical order, concluding with a "Corollarium," in which the author declares his adhesion to the Church of England, "where is to be seen idolatry nor superstition, purgatory nor indulgences, pretended miracles nor supererogations, beads nor pilgrimages, invocation of saints nor transubstantiation, infallibility nor universality, human traditions nor ceremonies are boasted of as articles of faith or divine institution against divine institution." Under the heading "Pope " is a vigorous attack on the Church of Rome, and under that of "Puritans" a reference to Monmouth's rebellion and "our incomparable monarch James the Second." Paper; ff. 55. Belonged to Thomas Astle. Small Quarto.
