7. A Discourse concerning the Laws, Ecclesiastical and Civil, made against Heretics, by Popes, Emperors and Kings, Provincial and General Councils, approved by the Church of Rome. Shewing, 1st, What Protestant Subjects may expect to suffer under a Popish Prince, acting according to those Laws. 2dly, That no Oath or Promise of such a Prince can give them any just Security that he will not execute these Laws upon them. With a Preface against persecuting and destroying Heretics. 4to. London, 1682.

N. B. This book has, in a late edition, A. D. 1723, been attributed to another. But see how Dr. Whitby claimed it to himself in his Twelve Sermons preached at the Cathedral Church of Sarum, pp. 256 and 302.

8. The Protestant Reconciler humbly pleading for Condescension to Dissenting Brethren, in things indifferent and unnecessary, for the sake of Peace. And shewing how unreasonable it is to make such things the necessary Conditions of Communion. 8vo. London, 1683.

N. B. There were some things contained in this book which so far incensed Bishop Ward, that he obliged him to make a retractation: I will here give you the form in which he did it, and which the Bishop imposed upon him:

"October 9, 1683.

"I, Daniel Whitby, Doctor of Divinity, Chantor of the Church of Sarum and Rector of the parish church of St. Edmund's, in the city and diocese of Sarum, having been the author of a book called The Protestant Reconciler, which, through want of prudence and deference to authority, I have caused to be printed and published, am truly and heartily sorry for the same, and for any evil influence it hath had upon the Dissenters from the Church of England, established by law, or others; and whereas it containeth several passages which, I am convinced in my conscience, are obnoxious to the canons, and do reflect upon the governors of the said Church, I do hereby openly revoke and renounce all irreverent and unmeet expressions contained therein, by which I have justly incurred the censure or displeasure of my superiors; and furthermore, whereas these two propositions have been deduced and concluded from the said book, viz.

"I. That it is not lawful for superiors to impose any thing in the worship of God, that is not antecedently necessary:

"II. The duty of not offending a weak brother is inconsistent with all human authority of making laws concerning indifferent things:

"I do hereby openly renounce both the said propositions, being false, erroneous and schismatical; and do revoke and disclaim all tenets, positions and assertions contained in the said book from whence these positions can be inferred; and whereinsoever I have offended therein, I do heartily beg pardon of God and the Church for the same."

9. The Protestant Reconciler. Part II. Earnestly persuading the Dissenting Laity to join in full Communion with the Church of England and answering all the Objections of the Nonconformists against the Lawfulness of their Submission unto the Rights and Constitutions of that Church. 8vo.

11. Treatise in Confutation of the Latin Service practised and, by order of the Trent Council, continued in the Church of Rome. 4to. London, 1687.

12. The Fallibility of the Roman Church demonstrated from the manifest Error of the second Nicene and Trent Councils, which assert, that the veneration and honorary Worship of Images is a Tradition primitive and apostolical. 4to. London, 1687.

13. A Demonstration that the Church of Rome and her Councils have erred, by shewing that the Councils of Constance, Basil and Trent, have in all their Decrees touching Communion in one kind contradicted the received Doctrine of the Church of Christ. With an Appendix in answer to the 21st Chapter of the author of A Papist Misrepresented and Represented. 4to. London, 1688.

14. Treatise of Traditions. Part I. Where it is proved that we have Evidence sufficient from Tradition,-1. That the Scriptures are the Word of God. 2. That the Church of England owns the true Canon of the Books of the Old Testament. 3. That the copies of the Scripture have not been corrupted. 4. That the Romanists have no such evidence for their Traditions. 5. That the Testimony of the present Church of Rome can be no sure evidence of Apostolical Tradition. 6. What Traditions may securely be relied upon, and what not. London, 1688.

15. Treatise of Tradition. Part II. Shewing the novelty of the pretended Traditions of the Church of Rome; as being, first, not mentioned by the Ancients in their discourses of Traditions apostolical, truly so called, or so esteemed by them. Nor, secondly, in their avowed Rule or Symbol of Faith. Nor, thirdly, in the instructions given to the Clergy concerning all those things they were to teach the People. Nor, fourthly, in the examination of a Bishop at his Ordination. Nor, fifthly, in the ancient Treatises designed to instruct Christians in all the Articles of their Faith. Sixthly, from the Confessions of Romish Doctors. With an Answer to the Arguments of Mr. Mumford for Tradition; and a demonstration that the Heathens made the same plea from Tradition as the Romanists do; and that the answer of the Fathers to it do fully justify the Protestants. 4to. London, 1689.
