Cretensis: A Reply Against Hugh Cressy

A sharp polemical treatise responding to Thomas Edwards's *Gangraena*, a Presbyterian assault on Independents. John Goodwin defends the liberty of conscience and the reputation of Independent churchmen, exposing Edwards's reliance on anonymous hearsay and forged accusations. He challenges the labeling of Independent opinions as heresy, advances his doctrine of justification by faith, and argues that Presbyterians themselves harbor the very errors they condemn. Written with penetrating wit and theological rigor.
