1. Attonitus, Richardus, pseudonym. VERITAS ODIOSA. | FRAGMENTA VARIA | COLLOQVII | MACHIAVELLI ET MERCVRII. | 1626. | Ex Schedis M. S. Richardi Attoniti Eboracensis Pro-|to-Cancellarij nuper Classis | Anglicanæ. | [two lines.]

Impr. 67: [1626?]: sm. 4o: pp. 30 + [2]: p. 11 beg. Chrestienté: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. 1 title: 3–30, the work: (1–2) not seen.

Very rare. This is a curious production of a Dutch press, and appears to be a vigorous defence of Barneveldt (d. 1619) and the Arminians against Maurice prince of Orange and the Gomarists. Latin, French, Dutch and Italian are used, and the whole piece abounds with lacunae. “Walter Map” in the imprint is of course the well-known archdeacon of Oxford in the 12th cent., whose satires are still appreciated.

2. Barnes, Robert. A | SERMON | PREACHED AT | HENLY AT THE VISI-|tation on the 27. of Aprill, | 1626. | VPON THOSE WORDS OF | the 9. Psalme, Vers. 16. | The Lord is knowne to execute judgement. | [woodcut.]

Impr. 63: 1626: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + 30 + [2]: p. 11 beg. of Yorke: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) Epistle dedicatorie to sir Richard Blunt, signed “Rob. Barnes”, “from my study at Greys this 4th of May, 1626”: 1–30, the sermon.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 339. The author was the son of Joseph Barnes the printer, and a Fellow of Magdalen College: the dedication contains some biographical matter, and the sermon some Henley affairs, such as ploughing on Easter Tuesday, which the preacher laments.

Impr. 65: 1626: sm. 4o: pp. [12] + 63 + [1]: p. 11 beg. per se quidem: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–8) Epistola dedicatoria to sir Thomas Coventry: (9–11) “Praefatio ad lectorem christianum”: (12) the two quaestiones debated in the Diatribae, with answers in Latin verse: 1–25 the two diatribae; 27–63, the concio, on Jud. 11.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 633. The preface explains that the discourses were printed in order to confute a charge of Arminianism.

Impr. 59: 1626: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + 173 + [3]: P. 11 beg. superiours. These, 111. Chap. xxvii: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “To the Reader,” unsigned, but by William Pinke the translator, see below: (5–8) “A Table of the Chapters”: 1–173 The Examination, in 41 chapters and a Conclusion: (2) “Faults escaped in some copies,” 6¼ lines of Errata.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 476, where Bliss adds a note from White Kennett’s copy of the 1st ed. of the Athenæ (at i. 463) “William Pinke. He translated and published An Examination ... 1626. 4to. Ded. to the Master Wardens and Assistants of the Skinners Company. by W. P. [William Pinke] acknowledging his Engagements to the whole Company, and reverencing the Memory of that worthy Knight Sir James Lancaster.” Neither the British Museum copy nor the two Bodleian copies contain the above dedication, the signatures of the preliminary matter being, on each leaf:—(blank), *2, **, (blank), forming one gathering of 4 leaves of a natural kind, though the double asterisk is odd. The original French bore the title “Traicté auquel sont examinez les preiugez de ceux de l’Eglise Romaine. Contre la Religion Reformee” (La Rochelle, 1617.) Cameron was a Scotchman, minister at Bordeaux and Professor of Theology at Saumur. The address to the reader apologises for using the word prejudice as a translation of the French Preiugé, which means a preconceit either good or bad: and says “I have not construed but translated.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 273. The “P. T.” of the title seems to be Pro Tempore: the use of 1626 for 1625 or 1625
6 is noticeable.
