This was followed in 1625 by his first original work, Antient Characters of the Visible Church. In 1628 these arguments were developed in Via Tuta, or, The Safe Way, dedicated to the religious and well-affected gentry of the realm, and were argued very lucidly and succinctly in short chapters" and continued to pursue his attacks on the Catholics two years later with Via Devia; The By-Way.—(Oxford DNB).
