Willem Apollonius, Dutch Reformed minister, in 1645 wrote a defense of Presbyterian polity called A consideration of certaine controversies at this time agitated in the kingdome of England, concerning the government of the church of God (which I have, thanks to a generous brother). In 1644 at the direction of divines in Zealand he sent a list of questions to the Congregationalists of New England concerning church polity which led to a response on behalf of New England congregationalists by John Norton (see William Sprague's Annals of the American Pulpit for further biographical information on Norton or Joel Beeke & Randall Pederson, Meet the Puritans): The Answer to the Whole Set of Questions of the Celebrated Mr. William Apollonius (1645, said by Cotton Mather to be the first work published in Latin in America).
Apollonius also wrote Jus majestatis circa sacra, sive tractatus theologicus, de jure magistratus circa res ecclesiasticas, oppositus Cl.D. professoris Nicolai Vedelii tractatui, De episcopatu Constantini Magni and other works.
