Bishop Gilbert Burnet's "History of the Reformation in the Church of Eng...

Bishop Burnet gives an amazing account of a trip to Paris where he meets with three academics—two who favor his historical writings and one pertinacious man who will later retail cheap objections to Burnet designed to please the French Romanist court. The two sympathetic Frenchmen advise Burnet not to publish an answer while in Paris. Also, in an aside, Burnet notes that some Anglican, rubrical martinets and sticklers for the BCP are Pharisaical, leaving off the chief duties of religion (humility, love, peace, brotherliness) and would be offensive to Reformed brethren on the Continent. Wise advice since we are still afflicted with such Anglican Pharisees from time-to-time.
