Chapter VII: Part 7

Text size

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-D^{12}, sectt. i-iii. above: (_b_) pp. 201 + [1], signn. A-H^{12}, I
1–5, sectt. iv-xi.: (_c_) pp. [110], signn. I 6–12, K-N^{12}, 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.

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

1615.

Impr. 2: (1615): sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 42 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _like
Vessels_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) dedication to
Thomas Egerton lord Ellesmere, chancellor of the University: 1–42, the
sermon, on Acts x. 34–35.

See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 359.

Impr. 2: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 181 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _hold on

dedication to William lord Paget, “From my Study in Corpus Christi
College in Oxford, March 25. 1615”: 1–181, the 12 sermons, on Heb. x.
26–31: (1–3), “The Table containing the particulers of this booke,” an
alphabetical index.

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.

Impr. 11: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 26 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _dimento

nearly as 1st ed.: (4) “Thema,” the text: 1–26, the sermon: (1–2)
letter, as 1st ed.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 412. This is a reprint with a few changes
of 1612 D.

Impr. 7_a_: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 48: p. 11 beg. _waies but often_:
Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) epistle dedicatory to Oriel
college and St. Mary’s parish, Oxford, signed “Iohn Day”: 1–25, the
first sermon: 26, quotation from Camden’s Annales about queen
Elizabeth: 27–48, the second sermon.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 411. This is a reprint of 1612 D, but
neither is that fact mentioned, nor is the author’s name on the title.

Impr. 7_a_: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 352: p. 11 beg. _the Nations of_,
111 _selfe same Steps_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–7)

Severall Texts ...”, with a note: 1–160, six sermons: 161–188 short
pieces on the Lord’s Supper, containing a letter to “Ea.” of St.
Mary’s parish dated “Oriel. Coll. March. 2.”, “Sacred Fragments” (on
both Sacraments) and prayers: 189–352, the six last sermons.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 411. The dedication alludes to the
circumstances of preaching “David’s Desire to go to Church,” see 1612
D, and foreg. art.

Impr. 7: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 181 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _tie? And_,
111 _to come. By_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3)
dedication to the honour of God: (4) “Faults of Omission and
Commission ...” beg. “Pag. 5. for ὁλὴν Read, ὅλην”: 1–181, the four
sermons, on Ps. xix. 2: (1) 3 mottos.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 168, where a MS. note by Bliss in his own
copy shows that the author _was_ the Fellow of New College, and that
Wood was in error in supposing otherwise. See next art.

9. ——. VERBA DIERVM, | [&c. precisely as foreg. art.]

Impr. 7: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 181 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _tie? And_,
111 _to come. By_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2–3)
dedication to the honour of God, with words in italic inserted between
the two parts of the original dedication: (4) “Faults of Omission and
Commission,” beg. “Pag. 31. lin. 1 For _tations_”: rest as foreg.
art., except 4 mottos, not 3.

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.”

10. ¬Hakewill¬, George. THE | VANITIE OF | _THE EYE_, | First beganne [&c. exactly as 1608 H, second edition, except “_third_” for “_second_,” “_Author_” for “_Authour_,” and different woodcuts on title.]

5–8, “The Contents ...”: 1–170, the work: (1–18) additional quotations
and notes for the third edition, preceded by an explanatory paragraph.

See 1608 H. This is a reprint throughout, with the addition of some
quotes on an extra sheet.

11. Haven. “The hauen of the afflicted / _Oxon._ 1615.”.

A doubtful entry in the ©Bibliotheca classica ... authore M. Georgio
Draudio© (Francof. 1625), 2nd part, p. 269: probably referring to
Sebastian Benefield’s Sermon, 1613, which see.

Impr. 2: 1615: (twelve & six) 16^o: pp. [8] + 28: p. 11 beg. _ceaued
of God_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) epistle
dedicatory to D^r Prideaux rector of Exeter college Oxford “my most
respected good Master,” signed “I. V”: 1–28, the homily.

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.

13. Powell, Gabriel. “©Prodromus. A Logical Resolution of the first Chapter of the Epist. of St. Paul to the Rom.© Lond. 1600. Ox. 1602. oc.... Printed there again in Lat. 1615. oct. ©Theological and Scholastical Positions concerning Usury.©—Pr. with ©Prodromus©.”

So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 25, perhaps dubious.

Impr. 11: 1615: (eights) 16^o: pp. [40] + 240 + [16]: p. 11 beg.
_filiæ Sion_, 111 _12. Nam liberabit_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1)
title: (3–40) Matutinæ: preces, Vespertinæ preces, Letania, not in
full: 1–240, the Psalms, in Latin: (1–6) Special prayers, “Pro officio
totius Ecclesiæ in Communi,” “Pro Rege,” “Tempore Pestilentiæ,” “Pro
docilitate,” “Gratiæ. Ante cibum” and “Post cibum”: (7) the versicle
and response still used at Ch. Ch. after the Anthem, a prayer for the
King and a commemoration of Henry viii, founder of Ch. 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.

Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) “Elenchus capitum”: (7–8)
“Admonitio ad Lectorem”: 1–230, the Compendium, in three parts.

Very rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 626. See 1618 S (2nd. ed.,
reprinted in Sanderson’s Works, vol. 6), 1631 S (3rd), 1640 S (4th),
1657 (5th), 1664 (6th), (7th), 1672 (8th), 1680 (9th), _no date_
(10th, according to dr. Jacobson, Sanderson’s editor), and 1707, 1741,
1841, 1854 (in Sanderson’s works, Oxf. 1854, vol. 6). Cf. 1602 S. The
©Admonitio© declares that the Appendixes are not ready and must be
omitted. There is no clue to the author in the book. The only copy I
have seen (in Queen’s College Library, Oxford) has the Appendixes of
the second edition bound with it, so possibly they were printed in
time to be issued with some copies.

Impr. 4: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [12], signn. A^4 B^2: sign. B 1^r beg. _at

and in 2nd titlepage “HABI-|ta,” “beatæ | ,” “ACADE-|miæ,” “_piis_,”
“_parenta-_|rent.”, and the Oration is (6–19), and dated 1615.

This is a reprint verbatim but not literatim. Cf. 1607 W., 2nd ed.

1616.

Impr. 2: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 38: p. 11 beg. _answere, that_:
English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–38, the work.

A controversial discourse against Roman Catholicism.

Impr. 34: 1616: (eights) 12^o: pp. [8] + 64: p. 11 beg. _yeeld into_:
Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) “To the Reader,” a preface
by I[ohn] B[arnes]: 1–24, “A breefe Treatise concerning the
preseruation of the eye sight”: 25–62, “A Treatise of the principall
diseases of the eyes, gathered _out of_ Fernelius _and_ Iohn Riolamus
_Doctors of Phisicke_.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 586 and 1602 B, for the first treatise.
Johannes Fernelius and Johannes Riolanus the elder, both French
physicians, died in 1558 and 1609 respectively, but neither wrote a
special treatise on eyesight. The preface is no doubt by John Barnes
and alludes to the worth and undeserved obscurity of Bailey’s work.
The whole book with the possible exception of the titlepage, was
printed in London, the woodcuts being quite unknown at Oxford. Even
the arms of the University on the titlepage are re-cut on wood. The
first treatise is only a reprint, Dr. Bailey having died in 1592, and
the whole book, preface and all, was reprinted at London in 1626.

Impr. 11: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [16] + “452” (440–443 are omitted in the
numbers of pages) + [8] + “453”-“645” + [3]: p. 11 beg. _mi, quibus
ait_, 111 _Astrologum_, 501 _sum est illud_: English Roman.
Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) Epistola dedicatoria to sir Henry
Wallop, dated “Ex Musæo nostro Aldingtonæ” 25 Jan. 1615 i. e. 1615/6:
(9–10) “Ad lectorem”: (11–16) list of chapters in books 1–3: 1–452,
the work, bks. 1–3: (1–5) dedication of bk. 4 to dr. Arthur Lake
warden of New College, Oxford, dated “Ex Musæo nostro Aldingtonȩ 1
Feb. 1615” i. e. 1615/6: (6–8) list of chapters in bk. 4: 453–645, the
work, bk. 4: (1) “Errata ... & prætermissa ...”.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 327, the biography in which appears to be
largely founded on the preface to this book. The first edition of bks.
1–3 is _Heidelberg_ 1612, the preface dated 1609. There is a reissue
of the sheets of the present edition (Errata and all) “Londini, apud
Johannem Billium. Anno 1617,” the titlepage alone being newly printed
and the old one torn off. The 4th and 5th books were published at
Leyden in 1622, and all reprinted in the 9th volume of the ©Critici
Sacri© (Lond. 1660).

Impr. 2: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 193 + [19]: p. 11 beg. _ved in the
treasurie_, 111 _cense the people_: Pica Roman. Contents:—exactly as
1614 G, except “Calend.” and “Godvvinus.”

See 1614 G., of which this is a verbatim and almost paginatim, but not
literatim, reprint.

Impr. 11: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 190 + [10]: p. 11 beg. _illîc

(3–4) dedication to James Montague bp. of Bath & Wells, dated “Oxon.
pridie Iduum Januarij”: (5–6) “Lectori ...”: (7) a table of divisions:
1–190, the work: (1) Comparative table of Hebrew and English Coins:
(3–9) “Index rerum et verborum maxime insignium.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 52, and 1613 G note. The author was
chaplain to the bp. of Bath and Wells. The ©Moses et Aaron© of the
same author (Lond. 1625 and often) covers some of the same ground, but
is a distinct work and in English.

Impr. 35: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 125 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _Q. How are_,
111 _Q. What is the_: English Roman. Contents:—pp. (1–2), [not seen]:
(3) title: (5–7): dedication to William Redman of Great Shelford,
signed N. A.: 1–125, the work: (1–3) [not seen.]

Very rare. This book is questions and answers on almost every subject
concerned with man’s body and mind. Not a line of it was printed at
Oxford, the woodcuts and type differ from Oxford ones, and even the
device, which is like the smaller Oxford Arms of the University, is
from a different block. The British Museum catalogue supplies the
author’s name.

Impr. 2: 1616: (eights) 12^o: pp. [72], signn. A-D^8 E^4: sign. B 4^r
beg. _Dissolu’d vnto_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r title:
A 2^r-A 5^r, “To the Reader”: A 5^v-B 1^r, Complimentary letter from
John Ley, and verses by John Wall and others: B 1^v-E 2^r, the
translation, with a few notes: E 2^v-E 3^r, “An apostrophe of the
translatour to his Authour _Persius_,” &c.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 523. The first edition seems to be
unrecorded. There are London editions of 1617, 1635, and 1650: and
Oxf. 1673. Some edition of this book was entered at Stationers’ Hall
by John Barnes on 14 Nov. 1616, and another by William Arundel, by
John Barnes’s consent on 29 Mar. 1617.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 633, and the next art. Two very
rude wood engravings illustrate the text, one on sign. A 4^r depicting
the tortures inflicted on Angelus by the Turks, the other (sig. B 4^v)
possibly an emblematic figure representing England.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 633, 1618 A, and preceding art., of
which this is a translation, in good English. The same two engravings
occur as in the Greek text, on sign. A 4^r and B 4^r.

Impr. 11: 1617: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 108 + [4]: p. 11 beg. _licentur

account of the sources of the Life: (3) “Errata.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 258. The Life was reprinted in [Bates’s]
©Vitæ Selectorum ... virorum©, Lond. 1681, p. 1: and an English
translation was published at London in 1699. This Life of the founder
of All Souls contains some solid historical matter, with a few
documents. Some copies want the Errata.

Impr. 36: 1617: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 41 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _monly they_:

For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 409. This sermon was
reprinted in Hale’s ©Golden Remains© (Lond. 1659 &c.), with others.

This Catechism cannot be later than 1617, in which year Joseph Barnes ceased printing, nor before 1605 when John Wright began to publish: but I find no other notice of the book or author.

Congratulatory poems by members of the University of Oxford, on the
occasion of the return of James i from a short visit to Scotland. All

in the shape of an altar. On the title is a rough wood engraving of an
altar with fire, bearing the words DEO REDVCI:.

So in Arber’s ©Transcript of the Stationers’ Register©, as a book of
Joseph Barnes’s, entered at Stationers’ Hall 26 Feb. 1620/1 by John
Barnes. It must have been printed between 1585 and 1617 inclusive,
probably after 1610.

1618.

below.

Very rare: for the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 633. Dr. Bliss
in his copy of Angelus, now in the Bodleian, suggests that this
edition was worked off without the Greek when Angelus betook himself
to travel about the country. It is a reprint almost literatim of 1617
A. Angelus was in Oxford, according to Dr. Bliss, from Whitsuntide
1610 to about Easter 1618, and died 1 Feb. 1638/9. The second woodcut
is a new and rather more elaborate one than in the 1617 issue, but not
more intelligible, and is enclosed in an oval frame: the first (on
sign. A 4^r) is unchanged.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 362. The author seems to have allowed

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 412. The introduction contains some
autobiographical matter, and treats of “Our Lady’s Psalter.”

Impr. 46: 1620: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 35 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _to certaine

Rom. i. 16.

Impr. 48: 1620: 12^o?

For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 51: see 1614 G. Only
known at present from references in 17th cent. catalogues and from a
titlepage in the Bagford Collections at the British Museum (463. h. 3,
no. 546), but it is not likely to be really rare.

Impr. 40: 1620: sm. 4^o: pp. [12], signn. A^4 B^2: beg. _fecit

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 463. Goodwin died 11 June 1620. A second
edition of this year is simply a reissue of the sheets with an
identical titlepage adding only “Editio Secunda,” in a separate line
after “Æde Christi.”

Impr. 42, adding “Impensis Bodleianis”: 1620: (eights) sm. 4^o: pp.
[16] + 539 + [1] + 36: p. 11 beg. _Albertus Dux_, 111 _Somnium magni_:
Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to the
King, prince Charles, &c.: (5–14), “Prooemium ...,” dated 30 June
1620: 1–539, the catalogue in alphabetical order: 1–36, “Appendix ad
catalogum priorem.”

This is a new edition of 1605 J, arranged in one alphabetical order of
authors’ names. The _Proeomium_ contains much information about the
Library. The MSS. and printed books are treated alike in this
catalogue, each with its pressmark. Dr. James had resigned the office
of Librarian in May 1620 from illness. The Hebrew MSS. are not all
entered in the Catalogue, and “propter typorum defectum” are described
in Latin, not Hebrew type. A second edition of the Appendix was issued
in 1635. The expense of printing the volume was £112 10_s._, (Reg.
Convoc. N. 23, fol. 93, quoted by Macray ©Annals of the Bodleian©, 2nd
ed. p. 58 _n._)

Impr. 47: 1620: the rest as 1608 T.

This is a simple reissue of the sheets of the 1608 edition, with a new
titlepage, but is extremely rare.

1621.

Impr. 39: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 38 + [2]: p. 11 (“10”) beg. _which
is the_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “To the Reader”,
signed “Th. Broad”: 1–26, the work: 27–33 “A DIALOGVE | BETVVEENE A
IEVV and a CHRISTI-|AN of the Common | Opinion.” 33–38, “_A note
touching the Lords Day_”: (1) “Errata.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 594. A treatise against too strict
observance of Sunday, answered by George Abbot, M.P. for Guildford, in

11 beg. _sed and busied_ and _Lethargye_, 111 _Mutavere viros_, 611
_^u Mille habet_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) dedication
to lord Berkeley: 1–72, “Democritus Iunior to the Reader”: (1–8) “The
Synopsis of the first partition”: 1–783, the work: (1) 3 mottos: (2–7)
“The Conclusion of the Author to the Reader”, signed “Robert Burton.
From my Studie in _Christchurch Oxon._ Decemb. 5. 1620”: (8) “Errata.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 653. For subsequent Oxford editions see
1624 B, 1628 B, 1632 B, 1638 B, 1651. Other editions are Lond. 1660
(7th), 1676 (8th), 1800 (9th), (10th), 1806 (11th), 1845, 188-,
as well as epitomes. This celebrated work is replete with erudition,
humour, and acuteness. The recondite sources of the numberless
quotations are perhaps only to be found in the Bodleian, to which
Burton bequeathed his printed books, of which a catalogue is among the
Bodleian MSS. This first edition, which is anonymous except for one
signature on p. (7) of the Conclusion, is accounted rare, but copies
not infrequently appear for sale. Each successive edition during the
author’s lifetime (he died in Jan. 1639/40) shows alterations.

Impr. 39: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [10] + 126: p. 11 beg. _catione, tum_,
111 _Cap. 2. Argumenta_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6)

title: (3–5) Epistle dedicatory to prince Charles, signed “Pet.
Heylyn”: (7–11) “The Preface”: (12–13) “To my brother the Author” an
English poem by Edw. Heylyn: (14–15) “The Table” of contents, in
alphabetical order: (16) “A computation of the forraine Coynes herein
mentioned with ours”: 1–417, (1–2) the work: (3) “Errata.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 557, where 1622 is a misprint for 1621
and 1624 for 1625. For other Oxford editions of this well-known and
popular manual of Geography see 1625 H, 1627 H, 1629 H, 1631 H, 1633
H, 1636 H, 1639 H: there are also London editions (entitled
©Cosmographie©) of 1652, 1657, 1664?, 1666, 1670, 1674?, 1677, 1682,
1703.

Impr. 40: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 260: p. 11 beg. _ma. Quid_, 111
_trag; à centro_: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2)
“Errata ...”: (3) “Henricus Savilius lectori”: 1–260, the work.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 314. This was Savile’s last publication,
for he died 19 Feb 1621/2. There are many woodcuts of figures of
propositions. Most copies have a device on the titlepage, but a
presentation copy from the author to the Bodleian and the copy in the
Savile Library omit it. The absence of a dedication is unusual.

Impr. 40: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [12] + plate + 152: p. 11 beg. _tur
potiùs_, 111 _lestium corporum_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1)
title: (3–6) dedication to the duke of Lennox: (7–11) “Ad Lectorem
benevolum”: (12) “Παραρυάδες sic restituantur ...”: folded quarto
leaf, see below: 1–152, the work in three divisions.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 5. The Episcopal Alchemist endeavours to
find the Philosopher’s stone through Sulphurous Magnesia (Nil), water
(Aliquid) and gold (Omnia). Vitriol is regarded as of vital
importance. Much Theology is introduced. The woodcut plate represents
the concord and discord of the four elements in various relations, in
a circular table.

1622.

Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 2^r-3^v, the letter, to the bp. of
Oxford: dated “from Croydon Sept. 4th _1622_”: A 4 [not seen, probably
blank]: * 1^r-4^r, “To the minister, churchwardens and parishioners of
in the Diocesse of Oxon.”, 31 Aug. 1622, as under _Howson_,
John, below.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 564. The latter part of this piece seems
to have been issued separately, see ¬Howson¬, John, below.

Impr. 42_a_: 1622: (eights) 16^o: pp. [24] + 395 + [5]: p. 11 beg.
_tute ab alio_, 111 _ali: At nullam_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (3)
title: (5–14) dedication to James Hamilton duke of Hamilton (_d._
1649): (15–21) “Ad florentissimam Oxoniensis Academiæ Iuventutem
Præfatio”: (22–23) “Elenchus Exercitationum ...”: 1–395, the work: (2)
“Errata Typographica.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 421, where _Lond._ is a misprint for
_Oxon._ The first edition was issued at Frankfort in 1621 “authore N.
C. Cosmopolitano,” with different prefatory matter, only two Decads,
and variations in text and arrangement. See 1636 C, 1637 C, 1675. Some
woodcuts of diagrams occur in the text.

Impr. 39: 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 21 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _own natural_:
Great Primer English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication to lady
Briget countesse of Lincolne, signed “Elizabeth Lincolne”: (7–8) “To
the ... Reader,” signed “T. L.”, i. e. Thomas Lodge: 1–21, the work:
(2–3) not seen.

Rare. The object of this small treatise, “the first worke of” the
authoress “that ever came in Print,” is to persuade mothers to nurse
their own children. The author appears to dedicate it to her
daughter-in-law, not mother-in-law as Bliss states (Wood’s ©Ath.
Oxon.©, ii. 384 _n._). The authorship has been ascribed to Thomas
Lodge (Wood, as above), but there is every internal mark that he only
wrote the address to the Reader, and possibly revised the whole.

Impr. 49: 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 30 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _and crabbed_:
English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–8) dedication to Richard
earl of Dorset: 1–30, the sermon, on Gen. xlv. 8.

5. Heylyn, Peter. Microcosmus: see 1621 H.

No impr. or date, but 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8], sign. *^4: sign. * 2^r
beg. _By this you see_: English Roman. Contents:—sign. * 1^r, heading
as above: * 1^r-4^{*r}, the directions.

These are Directions to preachers in the Diocese of Oxford, to
restrict their choice of subjects and treatment of them within the
bounds of the XXXIX Articles. The Directions are dated 31 Aug. 1622,
and quote mandates from the King (4 Aug. 1622) and the archbp. of
Canterbury (12 Aug. 1622). It is perhaps doubtful whether this is
genuinely a separate book from _Abbot’s_ Letter, above.
