Papal usurpation and persecution, as it has been exercis'd in ancient and modern times with respect both to princes & people; A Fair Warning to all Protestants, To Guard themselves with the utmost Caution against the Encroachments & Invasions of Popery; As they value their Estates, Lives and Liberties, But above all, As they would preserve their Consciences free from the forest of all Tyrannies and Oppressions. The whole divided into two tomes, Answerable to the Subject Matter, as it relates both to Princes and People; and design'd as supplemental to the Book of martyrs, as well in the several Ages Antecedent to the Reformation, where the is found Defective; As by continuing the same most useful Part of Ecclesiastical History, Martyrology, down to these present Times. By a sincere lover of our Protestant establishment both in church and state
