1651 Church Fathers 1^ed Right Use by Huguenot Daille ENGLISH London Provenance

Jean Daille was a 17^th-century Huguenot minister known for his numerous sermons. It was, however, his ‘Treatise Concerning the Right Use of the Fathers’ that brought him beyond sermons into ecclesiastical literature. In this work, Daille attacked the authority given to Church Fathers as it concerns faith and faith practices. According to Chisholm, Daille notes that the ancient fathers were often corrupt, and their views were biased and unethical.

This 1651 first English edition of “Right Use of the Fathers” was translated out of the original 1631 French by Thomas Smith and published in London.

  • Sir Francis Wythens (c. 1635–1704) was a British judge and politician. He was elected to Parliament for Westminster in September 1679, though sources suggest this was achieved illegally. This did not slow his career, as he was rewarded with a knighthood in 1680 and promotion to King’s Counsel; he was made a Serjeant-at-Law in 1683, and became a Justice of the King’s Bench. He took part in many high-profile trials, such as the prosecution of the Rye House Plotters, the conviction of Titus Oates, and sat on the court which condemned Algernon Sidney to death for treason. He was dismissed as a Justice in April 1687, apparently for refusing to institute martial law in peacetime, a move that has been remembered as one of James II’s greatest missteps.
