Note 9 — INTRODUCTION.
Reading edition
Strype's Whitgift, i. 391. Whitgift has been called an Erastian, and Warburton (Works, xii. 386), on Selden's authority, attributes to him the publication of the De excommunicatione, under fictitious names of the place and printer. I do not know the ground of Selden's statement. The proceedings of Whitgift were inconsistent with Erastianism. The famous work of Erastus will be noticed hereafter.
