Theomachia autexousiastikē
Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianism. Being a discovery of the old Pelagian idol free-will, with the new goddess contingency, advancing themselves, into the throne of the God of heaven to the prejudice of his grace, providence, and supreme dominion over the children of men. Wherein the main errors of the Arminians are laid open, by which they are fallen off from the received doctrine of all the reformed churches, with their opposition in divers particulars to the doctrine established in the Church of England. Discovered out of their own writings and confessions, and confuted by the Word of God. / By John Owen, Master of Arts of Queens College in Oxon.Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianisme.

Thirdly, I have given some instances, of their opposing the received Doctrine of the Church of England, contained in divers of the 39. Articles: which would it did not yield us just cause of further complaint, against the iniquity of those times whereinto we were lately fallen: Had a poor Puritan offended against half so many Canons, as they opposed Articles, he had forfeited his livelihood, if not endangered his life: I would I could hear any other probable reason, why divers Prelates were so zealous for the discipline, and so negligent of the Doctrine of the Church: but because the one was reformed by the word of God: the other remaining as we found it in the times of Popery.
