Reading edition

3. ——. [Another issue, almost identical in appearance, but entirely reprinted: easy tests of the two issues are such as (1) on the titlepage of this second issue, if it be the second, the fourth line begins immediately under the beginning of the third line, whereas in the first issue it begins an em to the right: (2) the O of the imprint is upside down in the first issue: (3) in the title of the author’s Epistle the second issue has “Anne”, the first “Ann”: (4) p. 41 l. 6 of text, the first issue has “Enuy”, the second “Envy”: (5) p. 121 l. 1 of text, the first issue ends with “God”, the second with “God is.” But it is difficult to say which is a reprint of the other: the second issue is more modern in spelling and type, and the woodcut ornaments are possibly less worn in the first. In fact it is conceivable that the second issue is in reality a few years later.]

4. D[unster], I[ohn]. A | CONFESSION OF | CHRISTIAN RELIGION. | [four mottos, then woodcuts.]

Impr. 7: 1609: (eights) 12^o: pp. 52 + [4]: p. 11 beg. and punishment: English Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title: 3–48, the treatise: on p. 48 “Etiam sic sentio, sic credo. I. D.”.

For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 42. This is a reprint, omitting the poem at the end, of 1607 D. The paging is wild.

Impr. 2: 1609: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 66: p. 11 beg. lemnize marriage: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication “to the honourable and right-vertuous Ladie, the Ladie M. H. ...”: (5) “The contents of this Apologie”: (6) the arms of the University: 1–66, the work.

75See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 89, where Wood states that the author was William Heale and the person opposed dr. William Gager, D.C.L. in 1589. The question “An liceat marito uxorem verberare” was one of those selected for the degree of D.C.L., 11 July 1608, but Gager was neither inceptor nor respondent. The lady M. H. seems from the dedication to have commanded Heale to undertake the task of replying and to have allowed him scant time in which to do it.

Impr. 11: 1609: sm. 4^o: pp. [56], signn. A-G⁴: sign. B 1^r beg. pi patitur: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to New College, dated “Cursim ex Musæo. Oxon.” 1 Jan. “1609”: (5–56) the 12 quaestiones.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 420. Wood is mistaken in calling Reuter a Welshman. He was a Silesian from Cottbus, as he testifies above and in the admission register of the Bodleian, 3 Sept. 1608. L probably stands for Licentiatus utriusque juris. He was never matriculated.

Impr. 11: 1609: 8^o: pp. [4] + 91 + [1]: beg. ^hPropriū est: Brevier Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “Auctoris praefatio. Ad iuventutem bonarum artium studiosam”: 5–91, the work.

A reprint of 1602 S, which see.

1610.

Impr. 11: 1610: sm. 4^o: pp. [20] + 208 + [12]: p. 11 beg. & Sacerdotes, 111 ci me dedet: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to bp. George Abbot, dated “Oxon. è Collegio Corporis Christi. Junii 7. 1610”: (7) “Catalogus eorum quæ hoc opere continentur”: (9–20) præfatio ad Academicos Oxonienses, 10 June 1610: 1–208, the work: p. 145 is a titlepage:—“APPENDIX | AD CAPVT | SECVNDVM, DE | CONSILIIS EVANGELI-|CIS, in quâ ad omnes S.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488. This work is a reply to a challenge from Leech.

Impr. 7a: 1610: sm. 4^o: pp. [22] + 171 + [9]: p. 11 beg. ces, which, 111 they had not: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) Dedication to archbp. Bancroft, dated Oxford, 3 July 1610: (6–11) the preface, dated Bolton Percy, 13 Dec. 1595: (12–18) “An Advertisement to the Reader,” dated Oxford 4 June 1610: (19–20) “The Contents of the Treatice ...”: (21–22) “The Table of Method” an inserted quarto leaf folded, printed on the recto only, a logical plan of the argument: 1–171, the treatise: (1–3) “Another note for the Reader” against R. P. and Radford, dated Oxford, 22 June 1610: (4–9) “The Alphabet Table ...,” an index.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 222. The dedication states that the treatise was completed many years before (1595?) and that archbp. Whitgift had it in his hands and approved it. The advertisement gives further details of the occasion and history of the treatise. The note alludes to Bunny’s connexion with Robert Parsons’ Resolution or Directory, see 1585 P, and J. Radford’s Directory. See 1613 B.

Impr. 7: 1610: (eights) 12^o: pp. [6] + 38 + [4]: p. 11 beg. offendere nō: English Roman. Contents: p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to George Abbot bp. of London: 1–38, the sermon, on 1 Pet. ii. 13–14.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 142.

Impr. 7: 1610: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 32: p. 11 beg. readeth, receiueth: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) short dedication to sir Clement Throckmerton: (3–4) preface to the author signed I. D. H.: 1–32, the sermon, on Hebr. xiii. 17: 32, “To the Reader”, an apology for the rude style.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 346: and 1613 H. The author is the well-known writer of the Latin and English Dictionary. From the preface it is clear that the sermon, which is written in an uncompromising tone, caused great opposition in Coventry, of which town some curious details of the puritanical feeling are given: it is now published “not altogether against” the author’s mind. See 1613 H.

77Impr. 11: 1610: sm. 4^o: pp. [8], sign. A⁴: p. 7 beg. Romæ 1591: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) dedication to English theologians by “Tho. Iames” in Latin: (3–4) preface “benevolo lectori”: (5–7) the list of passages: (7–8) conclusion: (8) list of MSS. used.

A table of passages corrupted in the Rome edition of 1591 and the Bâle ed. of 1564, of the Epistolae, Moralia and Pastoralia of Gregory the Great, compared with the readings of MSS. in the Bodleian, New, Oriel, Merton, Corpus and St. John’s colleges, and belonging to Richard Bancroft, archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Allen, and Rich. Hooker, the task being undertaken by 12 theologians.

Impr. 7: 1610: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 379 + [1]: p. 11 beg. ving to vindicate, 111 your soule: English Roman. Contents—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to the Prince of Wales: 1–379, the work: (1) a postscript: then “Errata.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 511. The book is an answer to Leech’s A triumph of truth. Or declaration of the doctrine concerning Evangelicall counsayles; lately delivered in Oxford ... n. pl. 1609, 8^o: and appears to reprint the whole of the latter work.

Impr. 11: 1610: (sixes), la. 8^o or perhaps fol.: pp. [16] + 402 + [14]: p. 11 beg. bras; neque, 111 tit, & præ: English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) dedication to Christian iv, king of Denmark (brother of the Queen) by Parry: (9–10) “Iohannes Hartus candido Lectori,” dated “ex Arce Londinensi, Julii 7”: (11–16) “Johannes Rainoldus alumnis anglicorum Seminariorum Romæ & Rhemis”: 1–402, the work: (3–11) “Index rerum ...”: (12–14) “Index locorum Sacræ Scripturæ”: (14) “Errata typographica: quorum quædam in omnibus, quædam in quibusdam exemplaribus tantùm.” Every page is within a border of lines.

78See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 15. The original Summe of the Conference was published at London in 1584 &c. The conference itself was at the Tower of London in about 1583, see Gillow’s English Catholics iii (1888?). 155.

1611.

Impr. 7: 1611: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 18 + [2]: p. 11 beg. vp, is avowed: English Roman. Contents.—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to John King, bp. of London, dated “from my study in Corpus Christi College. Septemb. 9. 1611”: 1–18, the sermon, on Ps. xxi. 6.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488. The Bp. of London had only been consecrated the day before this dedication.

2. Davies, John. Microcosmos: see 1603 D.

Impr. 7a: (four) 16^o or 12^o: pp. [8], sign. A⁴: sign. A 3^r beg. There are: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title, within a border: A 2^r-A 3^v, “The Jesuits Pater Noster,” beg. “O Mighty Phillip King Of men”: A 4^r-A 4^v, “The Ave Maria to the Queene of France”, beg. “WHen Iudas with a kisse betraid his Lord.”

The only copy known is in the British Museum. A bitter satire against the Jesuits. In each piece the stanzas consist of four English lines and a Latin clause of the Pater Noster or Ave Maria (24 and 8 respectively). This piece was probably not printed at Oxford, two of the woodcuts being not otherwise found there.

Impr. 11: 1611: (eight) 12^o: pp. [16], sign. A⁸: sign. A 4^r beg. 21. Guiderius: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r title: A 1^v divisions of “Prima Chilias complectens disticha tantùm anthrôpina in decem centurias divisa”. (Reges, Episcopi, Barones, Doctores, Equites, Graduati, Armigeri, Scholares, Generosi, Generalia): A 2^r “Prima centuria reges Britannici & Anglici in Honorem regis Jacobi,” with a motto: A 2^v “Elenchum personarum tibi lector exhiberemus, nisi libellus ipse esset pro Elencho”: A 2^r-A 8^v the prima Centuria, 111 Latin distiches: A 8^v “Ad Lectorem,” promising 10 Centuriae.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 148, and 1612 R. This is a first instalment of 111 distiches on Kings and Queens of Britain: only the second part (Episcopi) seems to have subsequently seen the light, in 1612.

1612.

1. Cleland, James. The Instruction of | a young Noble-man, | BY | IAMES CLELAND. | [woodcut: the whole title is within a border of ornament.]

Impr. 7: 1612: in every other point identical with 1607 C.

This is a reissue of the sheets of 1607 C, errata and all, with a new titlepage sewn in, the old one being torn off. The new titlepage was not printed at Oxford, as is shown by the woodcut ornaments and general style, but probably by W. Stansby for John Barnes in London.

Impr. 11: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 25 + [3]: p. 11 beg. Magistratus indicat: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2–3) Latin dedication to the heads of Colleges and Halls at Oxford, signed “Joannes Dayus,” with a list of the Heads: (4) text of the sermon, 2 Kings vi. 1–4: 1–25, the sermon: (2–3) Latin letter from Day to dr. Thomas Clayton, dated from Oriel coll. Oxford, 11 July (1612).

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 412, and 1615 D. The dedication gives a complete list of the Heads of Houses, and two official orders of the Colleges, in dignity, and in antiquity. The letter gives details of possible future publications by Day and personal points about dr. Clayton, who advised the printing of this sermon. At p. 21 is a list of Founders of Colleges.

3. Day, John. Concio ad Clerum “In Joh. 9. 4. Oxon. 1612. qu[arto].”

So in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 412, after the notice of the preceding art., and no doubt due to confusion with it.

Impr. 7: 1612: (eights) 16^o: pp. [16] + 104: p. 11 beg. Even that: English Roman. Contents:—pp. (1–2) [not seen]: (3) title: (5) dedication to Oriel college and St. Mary’s parish, Oxford: (7–15) “The Epistle dedicatorie”: 1–57 the 1st sermon, on Ps. xxvii. 4: 57, an Erratum: 59–104, the 2nd sermon, on the same.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 412, and 1615 D. The second sermon is stated by the author to have been his first preached as Vicar of St. Mary’s, succeeding mr. Wharton. At p. 40 he mentions Tuesday as a proverbially fatal day to the Irish.

Impr. 30: 1612: (eights) 12^o: pp. [34] + 406: p. 11 beg. assured of, 111 one part of: English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) Epistle dedicatory to “sir Dudley Digs,” signed “I. B.”: (9–32) “The Preface to the Reader”: (33–34) “The Contents of this booke”: 1–406, the work, entitled “A Confutation of Purgatory.”

The Friar against whom this book was written was Jacques (sign. A 4^r) i. e. Jacques Suares, and the two Doctors were P. V. Palma Cayer and A. Duval (sign. A 3^v). The first French edition was printed in 1603, entitled Accroissement des eaux de Siloé ... The work is one of Du Moulin’s less known productions.

Impr. 11: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [36], signn. A-D⁴ E²: sign. B 1^r beg. Amyntas: English Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 2^r, short dedication to the memory of prince Henry, in Latin: A 3^r-E 2^r, the poems: E 2^v “Lectori ξυναποθνήσκοντι,” an epilogue.

The writers and editor of these poems on the death of Prince Henry are more disguised than usual. The editor was undoubtedly “Jacobus Aretius,” i. e. James Martin, of Broadgates hall. There is one poem in Chaldee (Hebrew type), one in Syriac, one in Arabic, one in Turkish (all three in Roman type) and a few in Greek. There are three Idylls, “Amyntas,” “Tityrus,” and “Daphnis,” in Latin hexameter verse, presumably by the Editor.

Impr. 11: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 62 + [8]: p. 11 beg. Multâque Myrrhæ: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) distich, within a border: 1–62, the poems: 1–7, “... Oratio funebris habita apud Magdalenenses tempore Prandij exequialis, 7^o Decemb. quo die desideratiss. Principi Henrici funeri iusta persoluta fuere,” signed “Accep. Frewen.”

Poems, chiefly in Latin (a few in Greek and one Spanish), by members of Magdalen College, on the death of Prince Henry (d. 6 Nov. 1612), who was connected with the College through his tutor John Wilkinson.

Impr. 29: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 32 + [2]: p. 11 beg. ver heard that: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–32, the Answer.

81See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 697, and under Travers, below: both treatises have often been reprinted. This and the following treatises by Hooker seem to have been edited by Henry Jackson, see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 577.

Impr. 29: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 17 + [1]: p. 11 beg. ly enimy is: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title; 1–17, the sermon, on Hab. i. 4.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 697. This is the first edition, and apparently the first of Jackson’s issues of Hooker’s sermons.

Impr. 29: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 17 + [1]: p. 11 beg. dome as my: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–17, the sermon, on Hab. ii. 4.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 697.

Impr. 29: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 14: p. 11 beg. full and faintharted: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–14, the sermon, on John xiv. 27.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 697.

Impr. 29: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [12] + 72: p. 11 beg. by a secular: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–9) Epistle dedicatory to the “Iudges and Iustices of Peace for the Countie of Oxon.”, dated “From the Publique Library in Oxford, Sept. 16. 1612”, signed “Tho. James”: (10–12) “The Propositions”: 1–51, 100 propositions against Jesuits stated and commented on: 52–72, the Life of Parsons.

82Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 467. A story is told at p. 53 of Parsons disfurnishing the Balliol College Library of “many ancient bookes and rare Manuscripts”, and of his expulsion at a later period from the College.

Impr. 7: 1612: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [4] + 138: p. 11 beg. it be, 111 the one: Pica English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “To the Reader”: 1–71, homily on Matt. xvii. 5 (Hunc audite): 72–138, homily on Matt. xix. 8 (Non sic fuit ab initio): 138, “Errata.”

Rare. There is another issue of this book in the same year, identical in every respect, even to the Errata, except that on the title after the asterisks and before the woodcuts come the words “First written in French by Ph. | Mornay, and now translated | into English” instead of the single line of the first issue. The second issue appears to be less rare. In each sign. A 1 is almost entirely gone, which consisted of the titlepage in some early form before a preface was decided on. The preface even in the second issue pretends that the author is unknown to the translator: who may be identical with the “I. V.” of 1615 M.

Impr. 7: 1612: (eights) 12^o: pp. [2] + (82 + ?): p. 11 beg. may take an oath: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1-(82-?) the treatise.

Very rare. The running title is “The truth of the oath | of Supremacie.” All after p. 82 (sign. F 2) is at present unknown, the British Museum copy being imperfect: but probably other copies exist.

Impr. 7: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 17 + [3]: p. 11 beg. ^kBe warmed: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to William Hill of Pitmi[n]ster: 1–17, the sermon, on Phil. iv. 13.

Impr. 7: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 49 + [3]: p. 11 beg. Christs priesthood: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to Thomas Southcot of Moones-Ottery in Devon: 1–49, the sermon, on 1 Cor. ix. 13–14.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 228.

Impr. 7: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + map + 39 + [5] + 110 + [2]: p. 11 beg. some neere, also Such actions, 101 those humors: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) dedication “To the hand” (explained by “I found it only dedicated to a Hand, and to that hand I addresse it”), signed “T. A.”: (5–7) glossary of Indian words, with a few sentences &c.: after p. (8) a map, see below: 1–39, “The description of Virginia by captaine Smith”: (2) title, “The proceedings of the English colonie” &c. as next art.: (4–5) “To the Reader”, signed “T. Abbay”: 1–110, the Proceedings.

Very rare: priced in Quaritch’s Rough List 88, (1888), no. 174 (cf. 181), at £125: the map alone at £40. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 650. The map of Virginia which follows p. 8 is about 1215 16 in. high × 16⅜ in. broad, taking the extreme limits of the copperplate (the inner bounding line is 12⅜ × 15¾ in.): the title “Virginia” is on a scroll, and below the Scale of Leagues is “Discovered and Discribed by Captain Iohn Smith | Grauen by William Hole”: at the top left corner (to the reader) is a picture of Powhatan in state, and at the top right corner a figure of a “Sasquesahanoug” man. This first state of the map ought not to have “1607” below the inscription about Powhatan, nor “1606” below the word “Smith” in the words below the Scale, nor “Page 41 | Smith” in the lower right corner, nor the latitude and longitude marks on any side except the base; all of which additions are on the reissue of the map in Smith’s General Historie of Virginia ... (Lond. 1624, fol.), and also in the reissue in Purchas his Pilgrimes, 4th part, Lond. 1625, except that instead of “Page 41 Smith” there is in the upper right (?) corner “1690,” a reference to the page.

The W. S. of the first part is the rev. William Simmonds, D.D. of Magd. Coll. Oxford, for some time a resident in Virginia, see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 142, while the publisher of both parts was Thomas Abbay. The whole of the first part with trifling changes is reprinted in Smith’s Generall Historie of Virginia (London. 1624, fol.) bk. 2, p. 21: in Purchas his Pilgrimes (Lond. 1625, fol.) Lib. ix, ch. 3, p. 1691: and the second part, slightly abridged, in the same books, bk. 3, p. 41, where the glossary and map occur, but the 12th chap. is considerably altered: and ch. 4, p. 1705, respectively. The whole is carefully reprinted from the 1612 ed. by Edw. Arber in his English Scholar’s Library. Capt. John Smith ... Works. (Birmingham, 1884), from whose notes the following words are taken:—

[Preface to part 1].

“The first part of this Work is evidently an expanded and revised text of that “Mappe 84of the Bay and Rivers, with an annexed Relation of the Countries and Nations that inhabit them” (p. 444), which President John Smith sent home, about November 1608, to the Council in London, as the result of his explorations in Chesapeake Bay in the previous summer.

That this book of travels &c. should have been printed at the Oxford University Press is a most singular fact....

The hand printing presses in England were jealously registered, and locked up every night, to prevent surrepti[ti]ous printing; all through the lifetime of our Author: and the Company of Stationers of London especially watched with a keen jealousy the printing operations of the two Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, who each possessed a single hand press. See W. Herbert’s edition of J. Ames’s Typographical Antiquities, iii, 1398, Ed. 1790, 4to.

This solitary hand printing press at Oxford, usually produced sermons, theological and learned Works, &c.; in the midst of which, this book of travels crops up in a startling manner.

Why could not, or would not Smith get it printed in London? Had the revision of its second Part by the Rev. Dr. Simmonds anything to do with the printing at Oxford? These nuts we must leave for others to crack.

Of course, being printed at Oxford, this book was not registered at Stationer’s Hall, London ...

It is sometimes misnamed the Oxford tract; but it is rather a book than a tract.

[Preface to part 2].

T. Abbay states, ... [in his preface] respecting this second Part,

Neither am I the author, for they are many, whose particular discourses are signed by their names. This solid treatise, first was compiled by Richard Pots, since passing the hands of many to pervse, chancing into my hands, (for that I know them honest men, and can partly well witnesse their relations true) I could do no lesse in charity to the world then reveale; nor in conscience, but approve.

This Part is therefore the Vindication or Manifesto of the thirty or forty Gentlemen and Soldiers, who, under Smith, saved the Colony ...

This second Part of the Map of Virginia, compiled, and perhaps added to, by Richard Pots, ... tested and revised by the Rev. William Simmonds, D. D., ... and published by T. Abbay; is a condensed summary of the sayings and writings of the following seven Virginian Colonists:

Gentlemen.

Original Planters, 1607.

Nathaniel Powell (killed in the Massacre, 22 March 1622) ...

Thomas Studley, Cape Merchant or Colonial Storekeeper (who died 28 August 1607) ...

First Supply, 1608.

William Phettiplace, ...

Dr. Walter Russell, ...

Richard Wiffin, ...

Second Supply, 1609.

Thomas Abbay ...

Soldier.

Original Planter, 1607.

Anas Todkill ...

In the revision of this text in the General History, Lib. 3, in 1624; the testimonies of eight other Gentlemen were incorporated (not invented as some would think) ...

It is to be especially noted that, while he would endorse it all, Captain Smith is 85not named as an author of any portion of this Second Part, either in the title in the previous page or in the text itself: therefore no allusion to the Pocahontas deliverance should be expected in it; and there is none.”

Impr. 7: 1612: strictly speaking part of the preceding art., which see.

Impr. 7: 1612: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [18] + 136 + [2]: p. 11 beg. ved with the, 111 ry bosomes: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p.

A Sonnet of the Authors,” 18 quatrains, beg. “Awake ô Soule, and looke abroad”: 1–136, the treatise.

Nothing seems to be known of the author, nor can I find mention of the 1st edition, presumably issued in 1609 or 1610. See 1634 S.

Impr. 7: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 52 + [2]: p. 11 beg. sort, that of: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) epistle dedicatorie to Thomas lord Ellesmere, chancellor of the University of Oxford: 1–52, the sermon, on Prov. xii. 10.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 506 (where 1612 is misprinted 1602). The author was chaplain to lord Ellesmere.

23. Reinolds, John. (Antony Wood asserts, in his Ath. Oxon., ii. 149, that the second part of John Reinolds’ Epigrammata (in 86Episcopos) was printed at Oxford in 1612 in 8^o. No copy appears now to be known.)

Impr. 29: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 25 + [1]: p. 11 beg. there were: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–25, the treatise.

This is an appeal made by Travers, who was afternoon preacher at the Temple in London when Hooker was Master (about 1585–91), against the inhibition from preaching issued against him by the Privy Council. Travers was ordained at Antwerp, and had imbibed Genevan doctrine with which he opposed Hooker. See Hooker’s Answer above. Both treatises have been frequently reprinted, in Hooker’s Works, &c. This issue does not seem to have been published by Travers himself, but only in order to accompany Hooker’s posthumously printed Answer.

Impr. 7: 1612: twelves 16^o: pp. [2] + 45 + [1] + 35 + [1]: pp. 11 beg. vnwilling to, and ^her behalfe: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–45, the first treatise: 1–35, the second treatise.

See 1605 W, of which this is a verbatim reprint.

27. Wakeman, Robert. “Jonah’s Sermon and Ninivehs repentance (J. Barnes) 1612 ... 16mo.”

So in the Catalogue of the Second ... portion of the ... library formed by ... Philip Bliss, Lond. (1858), p. 6, corroborated by a MS. note in a Bodleian copy (once the editor’s) of Bliss’s Wood’s Athenæ, which states that this is a third edition.

Impr. 29: 1612: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 18 + [2]: p. 11 beg. comprehend either: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–7) preface “To the Christian Reader” about Wyclif: dated “from Corpus Christi College in Oxford, Iuly 6. MDCXII,” signed “Henry Iackson”: 1–18, the sermon, on Rom. xv. 30.

For the editor see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 577. The “ancient printed copie” was 87neither of the two issues dated Nuremberg 1546, but the undated one (probably 1546) “overseen” by M[iles] C[overdale], though Coverdale’s preface is omitted. This was reprinted at Cambr. in 1851, and one of the others at Oxford in 1828.

1613.

Impr. 32: 1613: the rest precisely as 1604 A.

A reissue of the sheets of 1604 A, with a new titlepage not printed at Oxford, the woodcut on title being unknown there.

Impr. 7 (not at foot of page, but, with date, close to rest of title): 1613: (eight & four) 16^o: pp. [2] + 22: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) short dedication “to his honourable master S^r Richard Wenman Knight”: 1–19, the poem in 8-line stanzas, one on each page, ending with “finis.”: 21–22, “A morning after mourning,” 2 more stanzas, ending with “finis.”

Extremely rare. This book has never been found except in fragments, and usually in the bindings of books. The Bodleian copy is complete: Merton college, Oxford, has nearly a complete one from its bindings: the British Museum copy was dr. Bandinel’s (Sale Catal., Aug. 1861, no. 44), and contains the first 16 (?) pages. Other fragments are known to exist, chiefly in Oxford college library bindings. The poem was reproduced in facsimile in 1872 by W. H. Allnutt (100 copies).

It seems on the whole probable that this William Basse, who was a retainer in sir R. Wenman’s house (Thame Park), is identical with the William Bas who wrote Sword and Buckler (Lond. 1602, 4^o), which is a poetical defence of Serving-men against the scorn of their superiors. In Stanza 2 of the present poem is a clear reference to Bas’s Three Pastoral Elegies (Lond. 1602, 4^o) in the following terms:—“Not (like as when some triviall discontents | First taught my raw and lucklesse youth to rue | Doe I to Flockes, now vtter my laments ...”. On the other hand the author of the Sword and Buckler had two sons, whereas here he speaks of his “young Muse.” Other poems by “William Basse” (Bas) prepared for the press in 1653 were printed by J. P. Collier in 1870; and contributions to the Annalia Dubrensia (1636) and Walton’s Angler, as well as an “Epitaph upon Shakespeare” are mentioned.

See J. Payne Collier’s Bibliographical account (1865) p. 54, W. C. Hazlitt’s Handbook (1867) and (Bibliographical) Collections, 1st series (1876). The author is mentioned as living at Moreton near Thame, in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iv. 222.

The subject of the first poem is Prince Henry’s death, and of the “Morning” the wedding of the princess Elizabeth.

88Impr. 29a: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 280 + [8]: p. 11 beg. the^r numbring, 111 Which truth: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to bp. King, dated “from my study in Corpus Christi College in Oxford, Iuly 5. 1613”: (5–7) “The Preface to the Christian Reader”: 1–264, the 21 “lectures”: 265, a title:—“[woodcut] | A | SERMON | PREACHED AT WOTTON | Vnder Edge in the Diocesse of | Gloucester before the Clergy there assem-|bled at the Episcopall Visitation of | Thomas Ravis, late Bishop | of Gloucester. 1605. | By SEBASTIAN BENEFIELD. | [motto, then woodcuts],” impr. 7a, 1613: 267–280, the sermon, on 1 Cor. ix. 19, with the head title “The Christians Libertie”: 280, Errata, corrected in many copies: (1–7) “A Table of such particulars as are contained in this Commentarie,” alphabetical.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488. A Latin translation of the lectures (without the sermon) was made by Benefield’s pupil Henry Jackson (ibid. iii. 578) and published at Oppenheim in 1615, the preface being dated 21 May 1614 and addressed to Abraham Scultetus who had visited Oxford and made a friendship with Benefield. Benefield printed a commentary in 21 sermons on Amos chap. 2 at London in 1620, and in 17 sermons on Amos chap. 3 (together with a separate reprint of the present commentary) at London in 1629.

Impr. 7: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 20 + [2] : p. 11 beg. wife, rebellious: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) Epistle dedicatorie to bp. Miles Smyth, dated “from my study in Corpus Christi College in Oxford, August 27, 1613”: (6) A quotation from Augustine with English translation: 1–20, the sermon, on Amos iii. 6.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488.

Impr. 7a: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 31 + [1]: p. 11 beg. not Henry: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) dedication “to the worshipfull his loving Cousen M^r E. N. and his virtuous wife Mistris K. N. ...”, dated “from Cote,” 7 Nov. 1605: 1–31, the meditation, on Ps. vii. 9.

Very rare.

Impr. 32: 1613: &c. precisely as 1610 B.

This is a rare reissue of 1610 B with a new titlepage printed (not at Oxford, for the woodcut in the title is unknown there, but) at London, perhaps by W. Stansby. The old titlepage was simply cut off, and the new one pasted in.

Impr. 11: 1613: (eights) 12^o: pp. [8] + 291 + [1]: p. 11 beg. piscopi Romani, 111 quod contra vos: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) Latin poem to prince Charles: (5) “Summa Tractatuum”: (6–8) “Index Responsionum iuxta ordinem apud Adversarium”: 1–280, the treatise, in three “tractatus”: 280, “Lectori”, a note: 281–291, “Appendix, ubi Auctoris ante biennium edita Responsio, ad Martini Becani Refutationem (quam vocat) Torturæ Torti defenditur ...”.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 18. The bibliography of the controversy excited by the fresh oath of Allegiance imposed after the Gunpowder Plot is too intricate to be here treated. It was begun by card. Bellarmine (“Matthaeus Tortus”) and James I, and followed by bp. Andrewes’ Tortura Torti, Andreas Eudaemon-johannes (André L’Heureux’s) Parallelus Torti ac Tortoris (Colon. 1611), Martinus Becanus’s Refutatio Torturae Torti (Mogunt. 1610), and many others. See Du Moulin, below.

Impr. 7a: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 27 + [3]: p. 11 beg. The Church is: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication to Alice “dowager of Derby, wife to the ... Baron of Elsemere”, dated from “Oxford, Alsoules. September the 3. 1613”: 1–27, the sermon, on Cant. ii. 10: (1) “Faults escaped”, at end “Delay is dangerous | and hast erroneous”, all between woodcuts.

The author took his B.A. degree at Cambridge, and incorporated at All Souls on 4 May 1609; M.A., 1610.

Impr. 11: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [12], signn. A⁴ B²: sign. B 1^r beg. mentis luxuriȩ: English Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 2^r, Latin preface to the reader: A 3^r-B 2^r, the oration.

Rare. Little seems to be known of the subject of this Oration. Sir George St. Paul of Snarford never matriculated or took a degree, though according to the oration a commoner of Corpus for two years. His work at Lincoln and Stamford is described, and his munificence to the College and the new Schools at Oxford.

90Impr. 29a: 1613: (eights) 16^o: pp. [18] + 484 + [2]: p. 11 beg. Innocent in his, 111 of this, but this: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–16) “The preface to the Reader”: (17–18) “A table of the matters contained in this third booke.”: 1–484, the work.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 169. The title of the complete work is “Defense de la foy catholique contenue au livre de ... Iaques I Roy de la grād’ Bretagne ... contenue en trois liures. Contre la Response de F. N. Coeffeteau ... Par Pierre du Moulin ... 1612.” The 3rd book was subsequently printed separately in French also, with the title “Accomplissement des propheties ... Par Pierre du Moulin ...”. The original work by King James I is “Triplici nodo, triplex cuneus. Or an apologie for the oath of allegiance ...” (anon., Lond. 1607, and with author’s name Lond. 1609 &c.: in Latin Apologia pro iuramento fidelitatis, Lond. 1609, &c.). Coeffeteau’s book was “Responce a l’Advertissement ... par le ... Roy de la grande Bretagne ...” (Par. 1610). See Burhill, above.

Impr. 29: 1613: (eights) 12^o: pp. [80], signn. A-E⁸: sign. B 1^r beg. Which vpward’s: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 2^r-A 2^v, dedication to Katherine lady Mansell, daughter of lord Lisle: A 3^r-A 5^r, complimentary verses to the author: A 5^v, “The Author to the Praisers of his booke”, a short poem: A 6^r-E 8^v, the 200 epigrams.

Very rare: see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 350. This author escaped Wood’s notice altogether, and his claim to be an Oxford man eluded even dr. Bliss when he edited Wood in 1815: but he subsequently writes in a MS. note, “I have now no doubt but that the author of Linsi-Woolsie was of Jesus, matriculated May 18. 1604, a native of Glamorgan, pleb. fil., æt. 20: B.A. Dec. 17. 1607.” The verses are extremely poor. The only copy at present known is that in the British Museum, which was the Heber copy (Heber sale, 1834, pt. 1, p. 141, no. 2734.)

Impr. 11: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 39 + [3]: p. 11 beg. Articulus 13: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to John King, bp. of London, signed “Johannes Glanvillus”: (5) “Ad Carmen meum”, a poem in Latin: (6) “Ad lectorem benevolum”, a distich: 1–39, the 40 Articles, in elegiac verse, the 40th being “De Articulorum ratificatione”: (1–2) “De numero & nominibus Articulorum”, a list: (2) “Ad lectorem”, a Latin poem.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 343. The verses are a paraphrase, with short additional poems of a meditative kind, written during an illness.

13. Godwin, Thomas. “Romanæ Historiæ Anthologia. An English Exposition of the Roman Antiquities ... Oxon. 1613 ... &c. qu.”

So in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 52, but probably a misprint for 1614, which see, though Wood’s apparent error is copied by Watt, Bohn’s Lowndes, &c.

Impr. 7: 1613: (eights) 16^o?: pp. [8] + 56: p. 11 beg. Q. VVhat learne: Pica Roman & Italic. Contents:—(1) title: (3–7) dedication to sir Thomas Lowe, Master, and to the 4 Wardens, of the Haberdashers’ Company in London, dated Bunbury, 19 July 1613: 1–56, the treatise, in question and answer.

Rare. For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 461, where Banbury is twice a misprint for Bunbury.

Impr. 29: 1613: (rest as 1610 H.)

A reissue of the sheets of 1610 H, with a new titlepage printed in London, within a border of woodcuts. The woodcut on the titlepage is unknown at Oxford.

16. Hooker, dr. Richard. (A learned discourse of Iustification, &c., a reprint of the title of 1612 H, adding after the word “Oxford * * *”:—The second edition, corrected, and amended. |

A second edition of 1612 H: the alterations are chiefly literal and verbal.

Impr. 29a: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 20 + [2]: p. 11 beg. ken away even: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–20, the sermon, on 1 Cor. xv. 55–57.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 287 & 112. There is some little biographical matter about dr. Holland.

Impr. 11: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 48: p. 11 beg. Δεύτερος: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) dedication, partly in Latin verse, to lord William Petrie son of lord Petre of Writtle: 1–48, the poems.

Most of the poems are Latin, but 4 Greek, 2 Hebrew, and one French. John lord Petre died on 11 Oct. 1613.

Impr. 11: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 84 + [20]: p. 11 beg. Ad sanam: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) Latin dedication to the memory of sir Thomas Bodley, by Merton college: (4) Latin poem by the editor: 1–84, the poems, chiefly Latin: (1–18) “Oratio funebris habita in Collegio Mertonensi à Johanne Halesio ... anno 1613 Martij 29^o; quo die Clarissimo Equiti D. Thomæ Bodleio funus ducebatur.”

This book consists of about 80 poems (four in Greek, the rest in Latin) in memory of sir Thomas Bodley by members of Merton college, of which society Bodley was a fellow. The editor’s name does not appear. Bodley died in London on Jan. 28. 1612/3, but both the dedication of this volume and p. 117 of the Justa Funebria (see below) state that it was on Jan. 29: see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 126.

Impr. 31: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [128], signn. ( )² A-P⁴ Q²: sign. B 1^r beg. Cur^c Atalanta, M 1^r Impar nulla: English Roman. Contents:—sign. ( ) 1^r title: ( ) 2^r “Oxonia Heydelbergæ”, a short poem: A 1^r-Q 2^v, the verses.

Poems by Oxford men on the marriage of Frederick v, elector Palatine, with the princess Elizabeth of England on 14 Feb. 1612 3. All are Latin except five Greek, two Italian and one Hebrew (unpointed, Pica and Brevier).

Impr. 31: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 134 + [14]: p. 11 beg. Sed calcanda, 111 Non famam. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) short Latin poems as by the University: 1–134, the poems: (1) a titlepage:—“ORATIO FVNEBRIS | HABITA IN | SCHOLA THEOLOGICA AB | ORATORE PVBLICO, IN OBI-|TV CLARISSIMI EQVITIS | THOMÆ BODLEII. | * * * * * * * | [device]”, impr. 11: (3) “Ad lectorem” a preface by the orator (Isaac Wake): (5–12) the oration.

About 270 poems, chiefly Latin, but two Hebrew (unpointed, Pica), four Greek, two Italian, one English: in memory of sir Thomas Bodley, see preceding art. The oration by Wake (see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 540) was reprinted in W. Bates’s Vitæ selectorum virorum (1681), p. 416. The British Museum printed Catalogue, and the Catalogue of English Books in the Museum up to 1640, attribute this speech to Richard Corbet, by error.

Impr. 11: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [130], sign. A-P⁴, Q 1–3, one leaf, Q 4: sign. H 1^r beg. Quod signis: English Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 1^v, A 2^v, Italian dedication to James i signed “L’infelice Lodovico Petrucci Cavaliere”: A 2^r, A 3^r, the same in Latin: A 3^v-Q 3^v, the poems in Italian and Latin: (one leaf)^v “I principali errori commessi nell’ Italiano di questo libro”, a long list, beginning with the titlepage (“Cavalliere”), followed by some Errata in the Latin: the references oddly are to pages.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 293. This is a singular and uncommon book. The author was a soldier of fortune, who was admitted as a reader in the Bodleian as from St. Edmund hall on 27 Apr. 1611, but did not matriculate till 5 Sept. 1612. The verso of each leaf is in general Italian poems, and the recto of the next leaf a Latin version of them. On signn. F 2^v and L 3^v-M 2^v are letters and testimonials about him: at H 1^v is a poem in Italian and Latin on sir Thomas Bodley’s death: at H 2^v begins his Selua or Sylva in two parts, and at N 4^v a long and curious account in Italian and Latin verse of his stay in England and particularly Oxford and New College, which he was forced to leave (in 1614?) by the puritanical party. On M 3^v is an oration delivered in Italy, and on Q 2^v is a poem in both languages on the death of dr. Rives, which is repeated on Q 3^r. The whole book was intended to be produced at the wedding of Frederick elector Palatine with the princess Elizabeth (14 Feb. 1612 3), but by the printer’s delay was too late.

Impr. 7a: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 37 + [1]: p. 11 beg. the divell: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication to sir Edw. and lady Mary Giles, dated “from your house at Bowdon, Aug. 24. 1613.”: 1–37, the sermon, on Deut. xxxiv. 5.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 22. The author seems to have been private chaplain to sir E. Giles. He quotes against himself in the dedication a thesis disputed at the Act in Oxford 1613 “Doctior quisque fuit in scribendo parcissimus.”

Impr. 7: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 17 + [3]: p. 11 beg. vpon the text: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) Latin dedication to dr. Thomas Singleton, principal of Brasenose: 1–17, the sermon, on Ex. xxviii. 34.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 512. Every printed page has lines bounding the text, head-line and margin.

Impr. 7: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 32: p. 11 beg. himselfe with: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to Will. Cotton bp. of Exeter: 1–32, the “meditation.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 512, and 1614 P. The essay, which contains some personal matter about prince Henry of historical interest, was written for 6 Nov. 1613. The text, head-line and margin of each printed page are within bounding lines.

Impr. 29: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 52 + [4] + 29 + [5] + 26: p. 11 beg. (1) the Manna, (2) ces, the furies, (3) Lastly to close: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) short dedication to Charles i: 1–26, sermon on Ps. xc. 15: 27–52, sermon on 2 Sam. xii. 23, with running title to both “Meditations of Consolation in our Lamentations”: (1) a title:—“SORROVV | FOR THE SINNES OF | THE TIME. | A | SERMON PREACHED AT S^t. | James on the third Sunday after | the Prince his death. | By | Daniel Price then Chaplaine in Attendance. | [motto, then device, then impr. 29, 1613.]”: (3–4) dedication to lady (Robert) Carey: 1–29, the sermon, on Ezek. ix. 4: (2) title:—“TEARES | SHED OVER ABNER. | THE | SERMON PREACHED ON THE | Sunday before the Prince his fu-|nerall in S^t.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 511. Every printed page is within lines bounding the text, head-line and margin. The signatures are continuous, ( )² A-O⁴ P². There is very little of historical interest in the sermons.

Impr. 11: 1613: 16^o.

At present this book is only known to me from a titlepage at the end of the 1614 edition of Rainolds’s Orationes (which see), and notices in Thomas Bowman’s Catalogus librorum (Oxf. 1687) [sign. I1^r:—“146. Rainoldi (Joan) Orationes. Oxon. 1613”] and Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 70 (Bagford). But the book is not likely to be really rare, unless the 1614 edition caused its recall or destruction.

Impr. 7: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 136 + [4] + 20: p. 11 beg. (1) promised to consume, (2) hād of the Philistines: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) epistle dedicatory to D. Airay provost of Queen’s college, Oxford, dated “Bunbury in Cheshire, July 19. 1613”, signed “W. Hinde”: 1–136, the commentary: (1) a title:—“A | SERMON | VPON PART OF THE | eighteenth Psalme. | PREACHED TO THE PVBLIKE | assembly of Scholers in the Vniversity of | Oxford the last day of August, 1586. | BY | John Rainoldes | Vpon occasion of their meeting to giue thankes to God | for the detection and apprehension of Trai-|tours, who wickedly conspired against | the Queenes Maiestie and | the state of the Realme. | [motto, then woodcuts]”, impr. 7a, 1613: (3–4) “Iohn Rainolds, to the Reader ...”, dated “At Corpus Christi College in Oxford, Octob. 24. 1586.”: 1–20, the sermon, on Ps. xviii. 47–51.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 16 & 15, and 1586 R. The commentary has special reference to the 1st Epistle of St. Peter, and is in 10 divisions or sermons. The editor, William Hinde of Queen’s college, seems to have long possessed the MS. of the lectures. The sermon is a reprint of 1586 R, and an integral part of the whole volume, as the signatures show, which for the sermon begin at T 1. Every printed page has bounding lines to the text, margin and head-line.

So in manuscript in the Bagford collections (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 71): see Wood’s Ath Oxon., ii. 493, where the book is described as quarto in two parts. The existence of a copy does not seem to be at present known, nor is one noticed in the ordinary bibliographical works.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 349, where the above title is given. The only copy readily traceable is that in the Bodleian which has lost the title and following leaf, beginning on ¶ 3, as well as a blank leaf there must have been after p. 146 (sign. K 1.) The sermons and dedication, but not title, were reprinted in Sermons ... by Lancelot Dawes ... (Lond., 1653), pp. 49, 105. At present the date (1614) depends on Wood’s accuracy.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 412. The author in the Preface says that he was appointed “Catechisme Reader” in Oriel for a year in 1612, when these lectures were delivered. In a footnote he alludes to his father John Day the printer. The general subjects are those of the Catechism, but carried further.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 52. This was a popular work, see 1616 G, 1620 G, 1623 G, 1625 G, 1628 G, 1631 G, 1633 G, 1638 G, 1642 G, 1655 G, 1658 G. 97Other edd. were printed at London in 1661, 1668, 1674, 1680, 1685 (14th), 1689 (15th), 1696 (16th). For the supposed 1613 ed., see 1613 G. Godwin’s Synopsis Antiquitatum Hebraicarum (see 1616 G) and Francis Rous’s Archæologia Attica (see 1637 R) may be regarded as companion works to the present volume, and are often found bound with it. The author apologizes for an English treatise on such a subject, and states that one of his main objects was to illustrate Cicero.

Impr. 7: 1614: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 38: p. 11 beg. à Peccato; delicta: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–38, the sermon, on Jer. i. 10.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 393, and 1639 J, 1671 J. The original edition of this celebrated Apologia was published in 1562, an English translation in the same year, and a German in 1589. This is the first Greek edition, as 1671 J is the first Welsh one. The translator, John Smith of Magdalen, explains that the task was meant as a College exercise merely, at first: and apologizes for using such words as Ἰουβιλαῖα, Βούλλαι, Ἰνδουλγεντίαι, for νὴ Δία in a Christian work, and for having only a month and a half to spare for the work.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 267. The circumstances of this book will be found in Mark Pattison’s Isaac Casaubon (Lond., 1875: a work without an index), pp. 332, 347, 353, 410, esp. 438–443. Briefly, Casaubon’s “... ad Frontonem Ducæum [Fronto Le Duc] ... Epistola ... (Lond. 1611) was a defence of the execution of Henry Garnett in 1606, against some Jesuit books; a reply was published at Cologne in 1613 by Andreas Eudaemon-Johannes (L’Heureux) “... Epistola ad Amicum Gallum ... item Responsio ad Epistolam Isaaci Casauboni”, the Responsio being dated 1612 on a separate titlepage. Then Prideaux was selected to answer the Responsio, in order to relieve Casaubon of the task: at p. 224 he quotes Casaubon’s account of his father’s last days. There is no real ground for Pattison’s remark that “few copies of Prideaux’s pamphlet survive” (ut supra, p. 443).

Impr. 7: 1614: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 37 + [3]: p. 11 beg. worthie comming: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to dr. Bodley, “canon of Exeter, and parson of Shobrooke in Devon,” dated “from Exceter College in Oxford, August 5.”, 1614: 1–37, the sermon, on Rev. ii. 4.

For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 265. This sermon was reprinted in 1621 (London) and 1636, see 1636 P. The dedication mentions dr. Bodley’s favours towards Prideaux, and mr. (sir William?) Periam’s to one Orford of Exeter Coll., Oxford.

Impr. 7: 1614: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 50: p. 11 beg. gather that seeing: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to dr. Airay provost of Queen’s college, Oxford, dated “Bunbury in Cheshire, Iuly 8. 1614” signed “W. Hinde”: (5–6) “Advertisement to the Reader,” dated as before, with “William Hinde”: 1–50, one sermon, on 2 Thess. ii. 3.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 16, 462. Dr. John Raynolds was Scholar, Fellow, and President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, but at one time or another was connected with Queen’s, Merton, New College, University, and Oriel (Register of the Univ. of Oxford, vol 2, ed. A. Clark, pt. 1, p. 4). There is no clear reference to the author being dr. Raynolds anywhere in the volume, but the fact is undoubted. The “Advertisement,” as a matter of printing, follows the Sermon, but was probably intended to be torn off at that place and pasted in where it is described above.

R.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 16, where he mentions that Henry Jackson was editor of all the Orations except the first two which had been published before, see 1587 R. The funeral oration was first printed in 1607, see 1607 (Wake, 2nd ed.). From a bibliographical point of view there is great confusion in this and the two subsequent editions of Rainolds’s Orations (Lond. 1610, and Lond. 1628). For instance Wood himself in his remarks about Henry Jackson has confused the London edd. (B. C.) with the Oxford one (A).

In A (the present volume) it is impossible to reckon twelve Orations, and the book falls into three parts (a) pp. [6] + 77 + [17], signn. A-D¹², sectt. i-iii. above: (b) pp. 201 + [1], signn. A-H¹², I 1–5, sectt. iv-xi.: (c) pp. [110], signn. I 6–12, K-N¹², sectt. xii-xiv. In B (Lond. 1619) a is as before occupying pp. [12] + 1–106: then follows “... Rainoldi ... Orationes quinque ...” with a separate titlepage and preface by H. Jackson, occupying pp. 107–348 [the Orations beg. Si quis (1573), Redit agricolis (1574), Si quantum vel, cum in isto (1577), Si quantum ad (1573)]: then b, pp. 349–528: then c, the Plutarch and Maximus Tyrius, with separate titlepages, occupying pp. 529–624: there is no extra titlepage at end. In C (Lond. 1628) the same four sections occupy pp. [6] + 1–92, 93–302, 303–460, 461–548, corresponding closely with B in contents.

16. St. Paul, sir George. “2591. Oxford. Carmina Funebria in Obitum Clarissimi Viri Georgii de Sancto Paulo Equitis Aurati C.C.C. Oxon. olim Convictoris et ejusdem Benefactoris munifici, Oxoniæ, Jos. Barnesius, 1614” quarto.

So in the Bibliotheca Heberiana (Auction catalogue of Richard Heber’s Library), part 6 (Lond. 1835), p. 185: the book sold for 9s. See 1613 C.

17. Smith, Samuel. “262. Smith (Sam.) & Brerewoodi Logica—Oxon. 1614.”

So in “Catalogi Librorum Richardi Davis bibliopolæ. Pars secunda” (Lond. 1686), p. 77. No Oxford edition of Smith’s Aditus ad Logicam is at present known, see 1613. S, 1617. S (reff. there), but as the latter is a 3rd edition, there may well have been one printed at Oxford in this year, of which no copy has yet found its way into bibliography. Of Brerewood’s Logica there is a London 1614 ed., probably alluded to in Davis’s Catalogue above.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488. The dedication states that the Sermons were written “many years” before, and existed in several MS. copies, and thanks lord Paget for benefactions to the Margaret Professor. The Sin is discovered to be a malicious denial of Christianity.

This is a second issue with some of the text reset, with additions and alterations, as for instance on p. 144 in which the paginal misprint “134” is corrected, and which begins “newes of His Glory,” instead of “of Speech more warrantable.”

The “I. V.” is supposed to be John Verneuil sublibrarian of the Bodleian, who was a Frenchman by birth: but he was of Magdalen and so not very likely to dedicate his first work to the head of another college. The collocation of this work and another translation of Mornay (1612 M) in a Bodleian volume suggest the possibility of the same person being translator of both.

Ch., all in Latin: (9–16) Psalms 43, 114, 117, 119 (part), 133, 150, in Latin rhyming verse, perhaps a separate piece of printing.

See 1639 P, 1660, 1676, 1689, 1726, all which editions differ in the details of contents, and the 1639 ed. is entitled “Liber Psalmorum et precum ...” It may be noted that the signatures and paging constitute the Psalms a separate book, whereas the Stationers’ Company had obtained in 1603 a monopoly of printing the Psalms, confirmed in 1615.
