Overview

Warden Richard Mocket's Doctrina et Politia Ecclesiae Anglicanae is an anonymous Summa of Anglican doctrine and organization compiled by a chaplain of Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury. It includes (anonymously) Jewel's Apologia for the Church of England, Nowell's Catechism , the 39 Articles (in a Latin version), Mocket's own Latin translation of the Jacobean Book of Common Prayer , a brief summary of the official Anglican Homilies and Mocket's treatise Disciplina et Politia Ecclesia Anglicanae with the variants of his little-known manuscript and the issues of 1616 and 1617 of the printed edition. The whole volume is given in facsimile, the text being that of 1617 (edited). James I condemned the edition to be burnt (1617) and it is therefore little known. The introduction discusses why so important a book was burnt, with the result that it - as well as this edition of Jewel's Apologia and Nowell's Catechism - are all but unknown.
