Book

Fulke, William – Confutation of the Rhemish Testament  (d. 1598; NY: Leavitt, 1834)  440 pp.  no ToC  Index

Fulke (1538–1589) was an English puritan divine.  The Rhemish Testament (1582) was a Romanist version of the New Testament translated from the Latin Vulgate, with pro-Romanist notes.  Cartwright’s later confutation of the same is more indepth.

“Notwithstanding Cartwright’s illegal expulsion from his lecture and fellowship, the sameness of their duties, with their congeniality of character, temper, theological opinions, and detestation of the Romish idolatry, cemented Fulke and Cartwright in the most harmonious intimacy and brotherhood.  Fulke was greatly instrumental in persuading Cartwright to accede to the solicitations which were made to him for his answer to the Rhemish Testaments: ‘but when he found that by the tyrannical prohibition of Archbishop Whitgift, Cartwright was forbidden to proceed, he undertook to answer it himself.  This work was entitled ‘A Confutation of the Rhemish Testament;’ in which he gave notice that the reader might some time be favoured with a more complete answer from Cartwright.’” – Preface, p. 3; see also bot. of p. 1 & top of 2

Cartwright, Thomas – Confutation of the Rhemists’ Notes, Glosses & Annotations on the New Testament…  (d. 1603; [Leiden] 1618)  763 pp.  no ToC  Index

This is more indepth than Fulke’s prior and shorter treatment.  Cartwright was considered an expert on Romanism.  See above on Fulke.
