The Works published by Bishop Forbes were
the following :—
A Commentary upon the Apocalypse ; A
Treatise on the Validity of the Vocation of the Clergy in the Reformed
Church; A Letter to a Roman Recusant on the same Subject ; A Tract on
the Origin of the Romish Apostacy and the Antiquity of the Doctrines of
the Reformed Churches ; and Eubulus, a Dialogue between a Protestant and
a Romanist. A second edition of the Commentary on the Apocalypse, to
which the other shorter Treatises, except Eubulus, are appended,
appeared in 1614. Dr. John Forbes, the Bishop's son, during his exile
from his native country, published at Amsterdam in 1646 a Latin
translation of the second edition of the Commentary and those lesser
Treatises. The last work which Bishop Forbes published appeared in the
year 1627. It is an answer to "A Rugged Romish Rhyme," bitterly
inveighing against the Reformed Church. The Bishop's producton is in the
form of a " Dialogue" (Bishop Forbes'Funeralls,p. xcviii. seq.). |
