Chillingvvorthi Novissima, or, The Sicknesse, Heresy, Death, and Buriall of William Chillingworth: (in his own Phrase) Clerk of Oxford, and in the Con (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171513544)

Chillingvvorthi Novissima, or, The Sicknesse, Heresy, Death, and Buriall of William Chillingworth, written by Francis Cheynell, offers a critical perspective on the life and death of William Chillingworth, a prominent figure within the Church of England during the tumultuous 17th century. Presented as a letter, Cheynell's account details Chillingworth's final days, his theological positions, and the controversies surrounding his beliefs. The book provides insight into the religious and intellectual climate of the era, showcasing the intense debates and personal conflicts that shaped English society. Cheynell portrays Chillingworth-described ironically as "Clerk of Oxford" and "the Queens Arch-engineer"-as a heretical figure, thus offering a unique and biased glimpse into a complex man and his enduring legacy.
