Truth triumphing over falshood, antiquity over novelty. Or, The first part of a just and seasonable vindication of the undoubted ecclesiasticall jurisdiction, right, legislative, coercive power of Christian emperors, kings, magistrates, parliaments, in all matters of religion, church-government, discipline, ceremonies, manners: summoning of, presiding, moderating in councells, synods; and ratifying their canons, determinations, decrees: as likewise of lay-mens right both to sit and vote in councells; : (here proved to be anciently, and in truth none other but parliaments, especially in England) both by scripture texts, presidents of all sorts, and the constant uninterrupted practices, examples, of the most eminent emperors, princes, councells, parliaments, churches, and Christian states, (especially of our owne) in all ages since their embracing the gospell. In refutation of Mr. Iohn Goodwins Innocencies triumph: my deare brother Burtons Vindication of churches, commonly called Independent: and of all anti-monarchicall, anti-parliamentall, anti-synodicall, and anarchicall paradoxes of papists, prelates, Anabaptists, Arminians, Socinians, Brownists, or Independents: whose old and new objections to the contrary, are here fully answered. / By William Prynne, of Lincolnes Inne, Esquire..
