""Papal Supremacy Tested by Antiquity"" is a book written by Reverend James Meyrick that explores the historical roots of the doctrine of papal supremacy in the Roman Catholic Church. The author examines the claims of the papacy to hold supreme authority over the Church, tracing its development from the early centuries of Christianity to the present day. Meyrick analyzes the teachings of the Church Fathers, the decisions of Church councils, and the role of the papacy in the medieval Church, arguing that the doctrine of papal supremacy is not supported by the evidence of antiquity. The book provides a critical analysis of the historical and theological foundations of the papacy, challenging the traditional view of the Roman Catholic Church as the sole arbiter of Christian truth. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Church history, theology, and religious studies.1858.

Another purpose was to show those who knew the author that the same loyalty and affection to the Church of England which was displayed during health in winning souls to Christ by earnest and active parochial ministrations, remained undiminished in illness and that his last efforts were directed towards the defense of the position of that branch of Christ's Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
