[4] The Way to the True Church was answered by Percy (known as A. D. or Fisher) in A Reply Made unto Mr. Anthony Wotton and Mr. John White (1612).

[1] This work was also by Wright, who turned to translations from Leonard Lessius to dispute the possibility of salvation outside the Catholic church.

[6] The Way to the True Church also contains examples gathered by White in his time at Eccles, of folkways and what he considered superstitious belief.

[7] John White also published: His works were collected and republished by his brother Francis in 1624 in one volume folio.
