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.

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.
7. ——.

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. 4o: 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.]

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.
12. Mornay, Philippe de, seigneur Du Plessis. AN | HOMILY VPON | THESE WORDS | of Saint Matthew, | Chap. 16, v. 18. | Tu es Petrus. | WRITTEN FIRST | in French by that Hono-|rable and learned perso-|nage, Monsieur Du Ples-|sis Mornay. | AND TRANSLATED | into English by I. V. | [woodcuts.]
Impr. 2: 1615: (twelve & six) 16o: pp. [8] + 28: p. 11 beg. ceaued of God: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) epistle dedicatory to Dr 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.
14. Prayer, book of Common. LIBER | PRECVM | PVBLICARVM | IN VSVM ECCLE-|siæ Chathedralis Chri-|sti Oxon. | [woodcuts.]
Impr. 11: 1615: (eights) 16o: 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.
15. Prideaux, dr. John. [woodcut] | CHRISTS | COVNSELL FOR EN-|DING LAW CASES. | AS IT HATH BEENE DELIVE-|red in two Sermons vpon the 25th | Verse of the 5th of Matthew. | By | John Prideaux Doctor of Divinity and | Rector of Exceter Colledge. | [motto, then device.]

See 1636 P.

Impr. 11: 1615: (eights) 16o: pp. [8] + 230 + [Appendixes, see below] 124 + [4]: p. 11 beg. possunt. Individua: 111 tur auferendo: Pica 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. 13c: 1615: (twelves) 16o: pp. [8] + 224 + [20]: p. 11 beg. minum memoriam, 111 cumano irruunt: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—as 1607 W., 2nd ed., except “13 Cal.

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