John Cosin was a notable Anglican church leader who lived from November 30, 1594 to January 15, 1672. He was a high church man but a strict Sabbatarian, a friend of Huguenots and one who reached out to Presbyterians. A Cosin bibliography may be found here.
 
Thank You Andrew,
For posting al this wonderful information. I have not been able to read it all. But it is fascinating the rich history that Christianity has. And how little I know and most of all the modern church does not know.

In Christ,
Blade
 
You're welcome, Blade. I am just a student of church history with so much to learn. We have a great heritage that they didn't teach us in public schools. Lots to learn, but praise God for the saints on whose shoulders we stand.
 
Cosin, John. The Works of the Right Reverend Father in God John Cosin, Lord Bishop of Durham, Now First Collected. Ed. John Sansom. Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology. Oxford: John Henry Parker, 1843-1855. ¶ CONTENTS: Vol. 1: Sermons. Vol. 2: Miscllaneous Works. Vol. 3: Scholastical history of the canon of the Holy Scriptures. Vol. 4: Miscellaneous Works. Vol. 5: Notes and collections on the Book of Common Prayer.
Cosin's work on the history of the canon is unsurpassed, and is the work to be consulted on this subject. It is massive in research and content, and is a thorough refutation of the claims of the papacy concerning the historical position of the church on the canon of Holy Scripture.

are they purchaseable?
Yes, a used copy can be obtained, but only at a very expensive price, around $200 to $300 according to a few used book stores that I've checked. It would be very helpful to see this work republished and made available. But alas, there are only a few of us interested in obtaining such a work; and because of that, most publishers would not be interested. If you are interested enough, you might want to check with a good theological library to see if you can borrow it.
