1. Andrewes, John. “Christ his Crosse, or the most comfortable Doctrine of Christ Crucified & joyfull Tidings of his Passion, teaching us to Love & Embrace his Crosse, as the most Sweete & Celestiall Doctrine unto the Soule, and how We should behave ourselves therein according to the Word of God. Newly Published by John Andrewes, Minister & Preacher of the Word of God at Barricke Basset in the County of Wiltes.”
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.

Impr. 7: 1613: sm. 4o: pp. [4] + 153 + [7]: p. 11 beg. It may be, 111 what they thinke: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to lord Ellesmere, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, dated “from my Study in Corpus Christi College in Oxford, Iuly 2. 1614”: 1–57, three sermons on Luke ix. 23: 58–153, five sermons on James iv. 10: (2–6) “The table containing in alphabeticall order the particulars of this booke.”
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488.

Robinson bp. of Carlisle, signed “Lancelot Dawes”: 1–75, a sermon, on Matt. xxvi. 15: 77–146, a sermon, on Ps. lxxxii. 6–7: (1–2) (not seen.)
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.
4. Day, John. DAY’S DYALL | OR, | HIS TWELVE HOWRES | THAT IS, | TWELVE SEVERALL LECTVRES | BY WAY OF CATECHISME, AS | they were delivered by him in the Chappel of | Oriell Colledge in Ox-|ford, in the yeeres of our Lord | God 1612, and 1613. | [device, then two mottos.]

Octob. 17. 1614”, signed “Iohn Day”: (8) “The severall arguments with the severall Texts of Scripture, of every severall Lecture in this Booke”, with a quotation: 1–329, the twelve lectures, with a page occasionally blank: (1–2) “To the Reader”: including a few errata.
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.

4], signed “Thomas Godwinus”: (5–6) “Benevolo Lectori”: (7) Latin poems on the book by dr. Laurence Humphrey and John Sanford: (8) “A short table shewing the argument of every Booke and Section”: 1–193, the work: (2–18) “Index rerum et verborum maxime insignium.”
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. Other 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.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 297. The sermon is directed against the jurisdiction of the Roman Church over temporal sovereigns.

4): 1–29, the first sermon: 31–56, the second, both on Jude 17–21.
Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 698, and for the editor iii. 577. This and other Sermons of Hooker were reprinted with editions of the Ecclesiastical Polity, in 1622, &c.

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.
9. N., S. “Papistogelastes, or Apologues by which are pleasantly discovered the Abuses, Follies, Superstitions, Idolatries, and Impieties, of the Synagogue of the Pope, and especially of the Priests and Monks thereof, written first in Ital. by N. S. and thence translated into French by S. J. and now out of French into English by R. W. ut supr. Oxon, 1614, in tw[elves].”
So in an account of Rowland Willet in Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 362: but I find no other reference to a copy.

See 1613 P, and for the author Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 511: there is some historical matter in the essay. Every printed page has its text, margin and headline within bounding lines.
11. Price, Sampson. A | HEAVENLY | PROCLAMATION TO | FLY ROMISH BABYLON. | A | SERMON PREACHED AT OX-|ford in St Maries Nov. 21. 1613. | BY | Sampson Price Master of Arts of Exe-|ter Colledge and Preacher to the Citty | of Oxford. | [motto, then device.]

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 489, where it is related that Price earned the name of “the Mawle of Heretics” for his violence against Roman Catholicism. The preface gives some biographical details of Price, incidentally.

Impr. 11: 1614: (eights) 12o: pp. [16] + 242: p. 11 beg. apud regiam, 111 us, qui opus: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–7) dedication to archbp. Abbot, dated “Oxon. è Collegio Exoniensi 9. Cal. Ianuarij”: (9–13) “Ad Lectorem”: (14–15) “Index capitum ...”: 1–242, the work, p. 20 being blank.
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).
13. ——. EPHESVS BACKSLIDING | CONSIDE-|RED AND APPLY-|ED TO THESE | times, in a Sermon preached at | Oxford, in St Maries, the | tenth of Iuly, being the Act | Sunday. 1614. | BY | Iohn Prideaux, Doctor of Divinity, | and Rector of Exceter College. | [motto, then device.]
Impr. 7: 1614: sm. 4o: 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. 4o: 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.

Iohanne Rainoldo | Interprete. |”, woodcuts, then impr. 11: (4–12) Dedication in Latin to Queen Elizabeth, dated “Oxon. è Coll. Corp. Christi.”, (13–41, 42–50) the two treatises: (52) (xiii) a titlepage:—“MAXIMI TYRII | PHILOSOPHI | PLATONICI | Disputationes Tres, | 1 Vitam activam contem-|plativâ, | 2 Contemplativam activâ | meliorem esse. | 3 Qui morbi graviores, ani-|mi, an corporis. | D.

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.
