For the translator see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 53. This is a reprint, even to many of the misprints, of the London ed. of 1622 (also “1623”) printed for Edw. Blount, who assigned his edition to R. Allot, for whom the Oxford edition was printed, on 1 Dec. 1628. The only omission is the two lists of errata in the London issue. The demand for this entertaining book was such that a third corrected edition was published by Allot in 1634. The translator was secretary to sir John Digby when Ambassador in Spain, and the first edition of the original Spanish is dated 1599 (1st part) and 1602 or 1603 (2nd part). Each page (and margin) is enclosed within lines.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 331. Pemble died in 1623: but the treatise was reissued in 1669 (according to Cole in Bliss’s Wood’s Ath. Oxon.) and in 1685, both times at Oxford, as well as in the collected editions of Pemble’s works (3rd ed. 1635 &c.) at London. There are several woodcut diagrams, but the whole book is occupied solely with what the author calls the general part of Geography, that is to say with the “nature, qualities, measure, with other general properties of the earth”, and not with a description of separate countries.
10. ——. “A Sum of moral Philosophy. Oxon. 1630 qu[arto].”
So in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 331, where 1630 may be an error for 1632.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 475, where the 1631 edition with four sermons is confused with this in which there seem to be only two. The 3rd ed. (Oxf. 1636) and 5th (Oxf. 1659) contain also four. Probably William Lyford, whose preface dated 7 July 1630 is prefixed to all other editions, edited this tentative issue also. The pagination and signatures are separate for the two sermons. Pinke died in 1629.

Piscator (Fischer?) died in 1626, and the first edition of the Aphorismi appears to have been issued in 1592. This edition is often found bound with the Catechismus Oxf. 1629.

The long preface contains an account of Puritans, in their ten subdivisions of Perfectists, Sermonists, Separatists, Anabaptists, Brownists, Loves-familists, Precisians, Sabbatarians, Anti-disciplinarians, Predestinatists.
