No imprint: 1624: sm. 4o: pp. [8]: ( ) 3r beg. Consilium extorsit: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—( ) 1r, title: 2r-4r, the Latin poem, at end “Faciebat R.A.”
A Latin hexameter poem on the death of sir Thomas Reid, of whom I do not readily find any account. No part of this was printed in Oxford, the woodcuts and type being unknown there: even the small device of the Arms of the University on the titlepage (which has caused this work to be ascribed to the Oxford Press) differs from the genuine one. No doubt the book was printed in London.

Heydon’s book was published in 1603 at Cambridge, and a second book by him on Astrology published in 1650 was followed by a reprint of the present work in 1651.
