Independency A Great Schism

This work by Daniel Cawdrey is extremely important on the doctrine of church government. Cawdrey writes against Dr. John Owen’s work, the “Tract on Schism” published in 1657. Cawdrey masterfully deals with Owen’s work, and explains the nature of Dr. Owen’s mistakes on attempting to justify Independency. Cawdrey not only demonstrates that Dr. Owen is biblically wrong, but also that the position of Independency is in fact a “great schism” to the church of Jesus Christ. Chapters include: Of the Nature of Schism in Scripture Causeless Separation from a true Church is Schism Of the Church Catholic Mystical, and its Union Of the Church Catholic visible, and its Union Independentism in Donatism Of the particular Church, and its Union Independentism, a Great Schism This work also contains "an appendix to the former discourse of schism; showing the inconstancy of the Dr. and the inconsistency of his former and present opinions."
