'The Reformation of our Church was begun and carried out with so much Piety, Wisdom, and fulness of due Authority; that a faithful and exact Account is the best Vindication and defence of it'. The sole edition of Henry Wharton's (1664-1695) scathing literary attack of Gilbert Burnet's (1643-1715) History of the Reformation, published under the waggish pseudonym 'Anthony Harmer'. Wharton exposes numerous considerable errors in Burnet's text and suggest that as a 'foreigner' the Scottish clergyman was unqualified to discuss the Reformation in England. Burnet offered a bitter rejoinder in which he accused Wharton of aiding and abetting popery. Even prior to publication of Wharton's excoriating remarks, there was no love lost between the pair; Wharton believed that Burnet had thwarted his attempts to secure a position as chaplain to Queen Mary, and Burnet, having criticised his rivals' Anglia sacra in 1691, thought Wharton motivated simply by petty revenge.
