1625 1^ed English Francis Mason Consecration Bishops Church England anti Catholic

Francis Mason was a notable and important bishop of the Church of England at the end of the 16^th-century. He is best remembered for his 1613 defense of the Church, “Of the Consecration of the Bishops in the Church of England”. In this book, Mason describes the importance of having bishops be consecrated. This controversial book propelled Catholic authors to condemn Mason’s work in which he published more and more editions including this Latin edition which was published in 1625.
