1659 1ed John Gauden Tears & Sighs Anglican Church England Catholics Anabaptist

John Gauden was a 17th-century Anglican cleric who was best known for being considered the author of Charles I's 'autobiography' 'Eikon Basilike'. One of Gauden's other works, albeit lesser-known, was the 'Eccesiae Anglicanae Suspria', or 'The Tears Sighs Complaints and Prayers of the Church of England'.

In this work, Gauden outlines the afflictions of the church along with the complaints made against the church by protestant churchgoers. Other important topics include Gauden's cautions to Christians, mistakes in vulgarity, customs of the Catholic church, the dangerous principles of Anabaptists, and importance of prayers.

This 1659 first edition includes the Catholic Church Tree engraving.
