The grand impostor discovered: or, An historical dispute of the papacy and popish religion: 1. Demonstrating the newness of both; 2. By what artifices they are maintained? 3. The contradictions of the Roman doctors in defending them: divided in four parts, 1. Of bishops; 2. Of arch-bishops; 3. Of an ?cumenick bishop; 4. Of Antichrist. Part I. Divided in two books; in the first is examined, 1. if Peter by divine institution was monarch of the Church? 2. If at the command of Christ he was Bishop of Rome? In the second is examined, if the Bishop of Rome was acknowledged successor to Peter in the monarchy of the Church, before the death of Cyprian, or anno, 260? The negatives of which three questions are made out, by unanswerable monuments of antiquity, and all what is pretended for their affirmatives, is proved to be either wrested, falsly translated mutilated or forged. By S.C.
