Synopsis

A window into 17th‑century faith and law, through Bishop John Cosin’s last will and reflections.

This edition presents the final testament of the Durham bishop, including his grounded piety, penitence, and hopes for peace among Christians. It offers a rare look at how a high church figure framed salvation, succession, and the disposition of temporal estate in the midst of religious conflict.

  • Explore Cosin’s personal prayers, beliefs, and appeal for forgiveness and mercy.
  • See how he situates faith, governance of the church, and the hope of concord among diverse Protestant and Catholic communities.
  • Read the language and structure of a formal testament from a prominent 17th‑century church leader.
  • Gain historical context on ecclesiastical controversy surrounding ordination and church authority.
Ideal for readers of historical religious writings, 17th‑century church history, and users seeking a primary‑source glimpse into Cosin’s spirituality and responsibilities as a bishop.
