1602.

1. [Bailey, dr. Walter.] [woodcuts.] | A | BRIEFE | TREATISE TOV=|ching the preservation of | the eie sight, consisting partly | in good order of diet, and partly | in vse of medicines. | The sixte Edition. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 24: 1602: (eights) 16o: pp. [6] + 25 + [1]: p. 11 beg. rected by the: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) a preface: 1–17, 19–25, the treatise.

Rare. For author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon. i. 586: the first edition with the author’s name is that of 1616. An edition of 1586 (London) is in the British Museum, but the other four preceding the present one appear to be unknown. See 1616. B, 1654. B, 1673. B: other editions were issued, not at Oxford.

2. Budden, dr. John. [woodcut.] | GVLIELMI | PATTENI, CVI | VVAYNFLETI AGNOMEN | FVIT, WINTONIENSIS ECCLE-|SIÆ PRÆSULIS QVONDAM | pientissimi, Summi Angliæ Cancellarij, | Collegijque Beatæ Mariæ Magdalenæ | apud Oxonienses fundato⸗|ris celeberrimi, vi⸗|ta obitusque. | [motto: then woodcuts.]

Impr. 11: 1602: sm. 4o: pp. [12] + 84: p. 11 beg. centis pænè: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) Epistola nuncupatoria to dr. Nicholas Bond president of Magdalen college, Oxford, signed “Johannes Buddenus”: (7–11) complimentary verses, in Latin, except one Italian sonnet by Alberico Gentile: 1–84, the work.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 282. Budden was philosophy reader at Magdalen (afterwards principal of New Inn hall and Broadgates hall), and this biography was entrusted to him by the college. The running title is “Waynfleti παλιγγενεσία.” Several original documents are printed in the work: which was reprinted in [Bates’s] Vitæ selectorum aliquot virorum, Lond. 1681, p. 49. Rhetoric is more prominent than historical treatment.

3. Chrysostom, st. Theorremωn: | or, | THE ANCIENT AND MOST | comfortable Goldenmouth’d Father, | St. Chrysostome Arch-bishop of | Constantinople, treating on severall places | of holy scripture: selected, and tran-|slated faithfully according to | the Greeke Copies: | by | John Willovghbie. | [3 mottos, then woodcuts.]

Impr. 24: 1602: (eights) 16o: pp. [24] + 287 + [1]: p. 11 beg. saultes of humane, 111 belōgs much time: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–15) Epistle dedicatorie to a kinsman of the author lately deceased: (16–21) “To the Christian Reader,” dated from “Brodegats hall,” Oxford, 2 Sept. 1602: (22–23) “Τοῖς περὶ τῶν λόγων τουτωνί Ελληνο-Αγγλοικῶν ἐυγνωμώνως ἔχουσιν,” a Greek preface: (24) “The names of the [seven] Tractes contained in this Booke,” and a quotation: 1–287, the treatises.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 28. Wood did not know Willoughby as an author, and Bliss could find no trace of his academical career. But a John Willoughby certainly matriculated at Exeter College in 1585 (B.A. 1589, M.A. 1593). The treatises are on the Pharisee and the Publican (Luke xviii), on Ps. xlix. 16, on Ps. xxxix. 6, on the Sick of the Palsy (John v), on 2 Cor. xii. 9, on the Shepherd and Sheep, &c. (John xx) and “A Tracte of Vertue and Vice.” Unpointed English and Long Primer Hebrew is used on pp. 1, 26, 67, 107.

4. Higins, John. [woodcuts] | AN | ANSVVERE TO | MASTER WILLIAM | PERKINS, CONCER-|ning Christs Descen-|sion into Hell: | By | John Higins. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 24: 1602: (eights) 16o: pp. [4] + 52: p. 11 beg. to it they: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) preface “To the Christian Reader,” Winsam, 22 June 1602: 1–51, the treatise: 52, “Faultes escaped in the printing ... Finis.”

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. i. 734, and following art.

5. Higins, John. AN | ANSWERE | TO MASTER WILLI-|am Perkins, concerning | Christs Descension in-|to hell. | By IOHN HIGINS. | [device.]

Impr. 24: 1602: (eights) 16o: pp. [4] + 51 + [1]: p 11 beg. it they must: Small Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) preface “To the Christian Reader,” Winsam, 22 June 1602: 1–51, the treatise.

Rare. See preceding art. Like the Powel below this book was certainly not printed at Oxford, and the imprint is fictitious, the type and woodcuts being unknown at Oxford. These falsifications can hardly be unconnected with the fact that John Barnes, the son of Joseph Barnes, in this year set up business for himself in London. The text is a reprint of no. 4 above.

6. Howson, dr. John. A | SERMON | PREACHED AT St. | MARIES IN OXFORD, | THE 17. DAY OF NO-|vember, 1602. in defence of | the Festivities of the Church | of England, and namely | that of her Maiesties | Coronation. | By IOHN HOVVSON DOCTOR OF | Divinitie, one of her Highnes Chaplaines, and | Vicechancellour of the Vniversitie | of Oxforde. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 23: 1602: sm. 4o: pp. [36], signn. ( )2 A-D4: sign. B 1r beg. ship or honor: English Roman. Contents:—sign. ( ) 1r title: ( ) 2r-2v, dedication to lord Buckhurst, dated from Christ Church, Oxford, 29 Nov. 1602: A 1r-D 3v, the sermon, on Ps. cxviii. 24.

See 1603. H, and Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 518. On a kindred subject with Holland’s speech printed in 1601: the priority of the University in celebrating the Queen’s day is again mentioned. Reprinted in Somers’ Tracts.

7. Howson, dr. John. [woodcuts] | VXORE | DIMISSA PROPTER | fornicationem aliam non | licet superinducere. | TERTIA THESIS | IOANNIS HOVSONI | Inceptoris in Sacra Theolo-|gia, proposita & disputata in | Vesperijs Oxonij. | 1602. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 11: 1602: (eights) 16o: [2] + 61 + [1]: p. 11 beg. dij, & quæ: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–61, the essay.

See 1606. H, and Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 60, 518, iii. 18, where a bibliography is given of the controversy excited by Dr. Howson’s Thesis. The actual day of disputation was 10 July 1602. There are two issues of this book, one in which the title is a separate leaf, independent of the four sections (A-D8) which follow, D 8 being blank: the other where the title is A 1, D 8 being the last leaf of the text.

8. †Oxford, Trinity College. Decretum de Gratiis Collegio rependendis. | [the text of the decree.]

No imprint, but probably printed at Oxford: (1602?): (one) fol.: pp. [2]: l. 11 beg. I. Imprimis: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title and text of the decree.

A Latin decree passed by the President and Fellows of Trinity college on 12 Dec. 1602, compelling all who have been or are on the foundation of the college to show their gratitude by a proportionate gift of money, and enjoining on all future scholars an oath that they will fulfil this decree. Signed by the President and Fellows. There is another issue similar in form but apparently printed in London, which can readily be distinguished by having a headline of woodcuts, and 43 (instead of 52) lines of print.

9. *†Oxford, University. [Orders for the Market of the City of Oxford, issued by the Chancellor of the University: beg. “Thomas Baron of Buckurst,” ends “transgressor of this commaundement. God save the Queene.”]

No impr.: [not later than 1602]: (ones) fol.: pp. [4]: English Roman. Contents:—pp. (1, 3) the orders (probably 30 in number).

The only copy known was rescued from a binding in Brasenose College Library at Oxford, where it now is. The titles of Lord Buckhurst are given, and show that the earliest possible date is 15 May 1598 when he became Lord High Treasurer: the latest being 24 March 1602
3, when the Queen died. No doubt the sheets were fastened together forming one long notice. The Brasenose copy has lost a few lines at the end of the first column (67 lines left), the second is complete (62 lines).

10. Powel, Gabriel. PRODROMVS. | A LOGICALL | RESOLVTION OF THE | I. Chap. of the Epistle of | the Apostle PAVLE | vnto the Romanes. | Togither with svch | severall Jnstructions, Notes, Ob-|servations, and Vses, as naturally | arise out of every particular | Verse. By | Gabriel Powel. | [motto, then asterisks.]

Impr. 22: 1602: (eights) 16o: pp. [16] + 267 + [5]: p. 11 beg. sumption is, 111 profit al, wisdom: English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–12) Epistle dedicatorie to John Whitgift archbp. of Canterbury and William Morgan bp. of St. Asaph, dated from St. Mary hall, Oxford, 5 July 1602: (13–15) “To the Christian Reader,” dated similarly: 1–267, the work: (1) “Faults escaped in the Printing.”

See 1615. P: Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 25. The dedications are due to his patrons’ favour to his father David as well as to himself.

11. Powel, Gabriel. Theologicall and Scholasticall | Positions, concerning | Vsurie. | Set forth, by Definitions and Partitions, | framed according to the rules of | a naturall Method. | [asterisks, then woodcut.]

Impr. 23: 1602: (eights) 16o: pp. [16] + 71 + [1]: p. 11 beg. and quantitie: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) “A”: (3) title: (5–13) Epistle dedicatorie to Ralph Hockenhul and Hugh Hurlston, dated from St. Mary hall, Oxford, 1 Apr. 1602: (14) “The Contents of this Treatise”: 1–71, the treatise.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 25. In spite of the imprint this book, like the Higins (No. 5) above, was not printed at Oxford, the type but especially the woodcuts (with one exception) being entirely unknown at Oxford. It was printed no doubt in London, and the imprint falsified, perhaps in order to escape the necessity of registration at the office of the Stationers’ Company.

12. Rawlinson, John. See under 1612. R.

13. Sanderson, dr. John. INSTITVTI-|ONVM DIALEC-|TICARVM LI-|bri Quatuor, | A | IOANNE SANDERSONO, | Lancastrensi, Anglo, Liberalium | artium Magistro, & sacræ Theologiæ | Doctore, Metropolitanæ Ec-|clesiæ Cameracensis Ca-|nonico, conscripti. | Editio tertia. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 11: 1602: 8o: pp. [4] + 228 + [4]: p. 11 beg. Vox singularis, 111 victus, habitus: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “Auctoris Præfatio ad iuventutem bonarum artium studiosam”: 1–228, the work: (pp. (3–4) not seen.)

Rare. This John Sanderson of Lancashire, doctor of Theology, canon of Cambrai, seems to have escaped the notice of biographers. The better known bp. Robert Sanderson also wrote on Logic, see 1615. S. The preface throws no light on the life of the author. For the 4th ed., see 1609. S. The first edition was printed by Plantin at Antwerp in 1589, the dedication to cardinal Allen being dated from Antwerp 1 Jan. “1589,” but neither in the dedication nor in the congratulatory poems which follow in this first edition is there any biographical matter.

14. Smith, bp. Miles. [woodcuts] | A | LEARNED AND | GODLY SERMON, | preached at Worcester, | at an Assise: | By | THE REVEREND | and learned, Miles | Smith, Doctor of | Diuinitie. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 23: 1602: (eights) 16o: pp. [16] + 64: p. 11 beg. him, and so: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–13) Epistle dedicatorie to Gervase Babington, bp. of Worcester, dated from C. C. C., Oxford, Nov. 12. 1602, signed “Robert Burhil” who issued the sermon: (15) “The chiefe points of matter ... in the sermon ...”: 1–63, the sermon, on Jer. ix. 23–24.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 360. The preface states that the sermon was issued without the knowledge of the author, he being too modest to publish his works.

15. Terry, John. [woodcut] | THE SECOND PART | OF | THE TRIAL OF TRVTH: | WHEREIN IS SET DOWNE THE | proper fountaine or foundation of all good | works, & the fowre principal motiues which the spi⸗|rit of God so often vseth in the sacred scriptures to perswade | therevnto: | togither with the contrariety of the doctrine of | the Church of Rome to the same: wherein also are ope-|ned not only the causes of all true piety and godli-|ness, but also of all heresie and Idolatry, which is | and hath beene among Gentiles and Iewes, | and vs likewise that are called | Christians. | By John Terry. | [two mottos.]

Impr. 23: 1602: sm. 4o: pp. [38] + 125 + [1]: p. 11 beg. venemous drops, 111 mande the carefull: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–14) Epistle dedicatorie to dr. George Rives, Warden, and all other students of New College, Oxford: (15–37) “To the Christian Reader”: (37) a short prayer: 1–125, the work: (1) “Faultes escaped” in parts one and two.
