What it is
A world history sympathetic to heretics, arguing that the true church has been invisible since the apostles and that God speaks in every age and nation.
Why it lasted
The most radical spiritualist position of the century: no visible church, no sacraments that matter, and no confession worth dying for.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
