Impr. 152: 1635: sm. 4o: pp. [16], signn. A-B4: sign. B1r beg. 15 Whether hath: Pica English. Contents:—sign. A1r, title: A2r, the oath: A2v, the charge: A3r, directions: A3v-B3r, the articles, in three divisions: B3v, directions about Recusants, &c.

Impr. 149: 1635: (eights) sm. 4o: pp. [16] + 272 + [16] + 286 + [2] + 4 folded leaves, see below: pp. 11 beg. Eearth & Water, and teration next, 111 2. The position, and monstrated in: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication, as in 1625: (6–13) “...

Contents of the second Booke ...”: 1–286, the second book: (1–2) not seen. There should be four tables as in the 1625 edition, and there are numerous woodcut diagrams in the text.

See Wood’s Ath Oxon., ed. Bliss, ii. 422, and 1625 C. The signatures of the two parts are in a certain sense independent, but indicate essential connexion.

3. Chaucer, Geoffrey. AMORVM | TROILI | ET | CRESEIDÆ | Libri duo priores | Anglico-Latini. | [woodcut.]

Impr. 95 a: 1635: sm. 4o: pp. [28] + 105 + [8] + 160 [“159”] + [1]: p. 11 beg. 13. Great rumor, and 15. With that they: English Roman italic and Pica English. Contents:—p. (1) title, within arched border: (3–6) dedication to Patricius Junius (Patrick Young) the King’s librarian, by sir Francis Kinaston: (7–8) not seen, probably blank: (9–12) “Candido Lectori Franciscus Kinaston ...”, dated “Ex Aulâ Albâ Regiâ [Whitehall] xiii Calendarum Decembris, ... CIↃ D cxxxiiii”: (13–28) complimentary Latin and English poems: 2–105, the first book, Latin on the verso of each leaf, English on the recto: (2–7) dedication to John Rouse, Bodley’s librarian, by Kinaston: 1–159 (“21” repeated after “24”), the second book.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 38. The Latin translation is in a singular rhythmical rhyming metre, essentially decasyllabic iambics, but with an extra unaccented syllable at end, and with certain licences in revolving a long syllable into two short. The rhymes are ababbcc. The first two lines for example are “Dolorem Troili duplicem narrare | Qui Priami Regis Trojæ fuit gnatus.” This appears to be by far the earliest translation of any part of Chaucer into another language. Part of a commentary on the piece by sir F. Kinaston was printed in 1796. The English part is in black-letter, the Latin in italic Roman. One of the complimentary poems is in would-be Chaucerian style. The collation of this book is difficult: but probably it is this:—signn. A, †, *4, **2, ( )1, B-Z, Aa-Nn4: †1-**2 is matter foisted in, which prevented the true fourth leaf of sign. A from forming, as it should, the first leaf of the Latin translation (pp. 1–2 of the 1st book). Accordingly one of two plans was adopted: either the 4th leaf of sign. A was torn off, and a new 4th leaf inserted where the translation begins (which seems to have been usually done, and which gives the collation above, assuming the existence at one time of an A4): or the torn-off fourth leaf was itself awkwardly pasted on to sign. 2**.

4. Downe, John. A | TREATISE | OF THE TRVE | NATVRE AND | DEFINITION | of justifying faith; | TOGETHER WITH A DEFENCE | of the same, against the Answere of | N. Baxter. | By Iohn Downe B. in Divinity, and some-|time Fellow of Emanvel C. in Cambridge. | [motto, with translation.]

Impr. 126: 1635: sm. 4o: pp. [16] + 404: p. 11 beg. the Prince of, 301 that it was: English Roman. Contents:—(p. 1) title: (3–16) “To the Reader”: 1–15, the treatise on justifying faith: 17–189, “A defence of the former treatise ... against the answer of N. B.”: 191, a title:—[two lines] | OF | THE FAITH | OF | INFANTS, | AND HOW THEY ARE | Iustified and Saued. | [line] | By the late Reuerend and Learned Diuine | Master Iohn Downe, Bachelour of | Diuinity, and sometimes Fellow | of Emanuell Colledge | in Cambridge. | [woodcut, then impr. 126]: 193–210, the treatise: 211, a title:—[line] | 211 | [line] | NOT CONSENT | OF FATHERS | BVT | SCRIPTVRE | THE GROVND OF FAITH. | [line] | Written by the occasion of a conference had | with M. Bayly, by the late Reuerend | and Learned Diuine, Master Iohn | Downe, Bachelour of Diuinity, | and sometimes Fellow of | Emanuell Colledge | in Cambridge. | [woodcut, then impr. 126.]: 213–272, the treatise: 263–290, “Of sitting and kneeling at the Communion”: 291–296, “How S. Paul and S. Iames are to bee reconciled in the matter of Iustification”: 297–309, “... of the Creed ...”: 310–315, “A short Catechisme”: 316–320, “Peccatum formaliter & propriè non esse infinitum, exercitatio aduersus N.”: 321–325, “Of choice of meats and Abstinence”: 326–355, “An answer unto certaine reasons for Separation”: 356–365, “Of vowes and specially that of virginity”: 366–369, “A letter” of consolation: 371–376, “The blessed Virgin Mary is truly Deipara, the Mother of God”: 377–404, religious poems and translations in verse, including a translation of Muretus’s Institution for Children.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., ed. Bliss, i. 287, where London is probably an error for Oxford: and 1633 D. This is a new set of treatises by Downe. The introduction to the first piece gives an amusing account of the controversy with Baxter.

5. Downeham, George. THE | CHRISTIANS | FREEDOME, | Wherein is fully expressed the | Doctrine of Christian | Libertie. | By the Rt. Reuerend Father in God, | George Downeham, | Doctor of Diuinity and | Ld. Bp. of Derry. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 154: 1635: (eights) 12o: pp. [8] + 156 + [4] + 80, and one folded leaf: pp. 11 begg. of righteousnesse, and In the new, 101 euen by: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines: (3–7) “To the ... Reader ...”: 1–156, the work, in 26 sections: 1–23, 7 additional sections: 25–76, “The necessity of handling the question concerning Christian Libertie”: 76–80, “A Prayer”.

For the author see Wood’s Fasti Oxon., ed. Bliss, i. 255: see 1636 D. The words underlined in the above title are in red ink, as well as “Oxford,” and “William Webb.” in the imprint. A folded leaf should follow the introductory matter containing “The Table” of the 26 sections. The signatures show that pp. 1–24, 25–76 in the second part are genuine additions, but genuinely part of the book.

6. ——. THE CHRISTIANS FREEDOME | [&c., precisely as the preceding article, except that “THE SECOND EDITION” is added as a new line after “Derry.”]

Impr. &c., precisely as the preceding article.

A simple reissue of the sheets of the first edition, room for the additional words on the title being found by slightly depressing the woodcuts. Perhaps the folded “table” was not issued with the second edition. Some copies have the date 1636.

7. Fawkner, Antony. THE | WIDDOWES | PETITION, | Delivered in a Sermon before the | Iudges at the Assises held at Northampton, | Iuly 25. 1633. by Antony | Fawkner, Parson of Saltry | All-Saints, alias Moygne | in Huntingtonshire. | [motto, then woodcut.]

Impr. 150: 1635: sm. 4o: pp. [6] + 28 + [2]: p. 11 beg. demand, Πρυτανεῖα: English Roman. Contents: p. (1) title: (3–5) Epistle dedicatory to sir Lewis Watson, dated “Saltry All-Saints ... Iuly 30. 1633”: 1–28, the Sermon, on Luke xviii. 3.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, ii. 611. Sir L. Watson was the author’s patron.

8. Field, dr. Richard. OF THE | CHURCH, | FIVE BOOKES. | [line] | By | Richard Field, doctor of | DIVINITY, AND SOMETIMES | Deane of Glocester. | [line] | THE THIRD EDITION. | [line, then device.]

Impr. 68: 1635: (sixes) folio: pp. [16] + 906 + [2]: p. 11 beg. tation of dangerous, 701 wrongs of the Court: Pica Roman. Contents:—precisely as 1628 F, omitting the Errata on p. (15).

See 1628 F, of which this appears to be a verbatim reprint.

9. Hakewill, George. AN | APOLOGIE [&c., precisely as 1630 H, except in l. 11 of this 3rd edition, PER-, not PER=, in l. 12 PETUALL AND UNIVERSALL, in l. 13 SIX, not FOVRE: in l. 1 of the italic type, preparatives, and the line ends with thereunto: in l. 7 testimonie, use, and the line ends at which we. After l. 8 (consideration thereof) follows:—] The fifth and sixth are spent in answering Objections made since the second impression. | [line] | By George Hakewill Doctour of | Divinitie and Archdeacon of Surrey. | [line] | The third Edition revised, and in sundry passages and whole Sections augmented by | the Authour; besides the addition of two entire bookes not formerly published. | [motto.] [There is also a London title, see below.]

Impr. 68: 1635: (sixes) la. 8o: pp. [52] + 606 + [10] + 378 + [42]: pp. 11 beg. dan, and Scaliger and dence doth worke, 501 of right: English Roman. Contents:—(1–11), as 1630 H, except that p. (6) is blank: (13–22) “the preface”: (23) “An Advertisement to the Reader occasioned by this third impression”: (24–30) testimonies to the book and author: (31–45) “The contents ...”: (46–49) about sesterces: (50) extract from Boethius, with translation: (51) “An index of the tables added ...”: 1–606, the work, bks. 1–4: (3–6) controversial letters of bp. G(odfrey) G(oodman) and dr. Hakewill: (7–8) two encouragements to the author: 1–378, the works, bks. 5–6: (1–24) index to bks. 1–4: (25–30) index to bks. 5–6: (31–35) authors quoted: (36–42) texts quoted: (42) “Errata”.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 256, and 1627 H. The engraved title is identical with that of 1630 H, with the date altered. Books 5–6 appear in this edition for the first time, the former being chiefly directed against bp. Goodman’s Fall of man (Lond. 1616) as reasserted at greater length in about 1630 by the author, whose arguments are printed in the course of this book.

10. Laurence, Thomas. TWO | SERMONS· | THE FIRST | PREACHED AT St MARIES | in Oxford Iuly 13. 1634. | being Act-Sunday. | THE SECOND, | IN THE CATHEDRALL | CHVRCH OF SARVM, AT THE | Visitation of the most Reverend | Father in God William | Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, | May 23. 1634. | [line] | By Thomas Lavrence Dr of Divinity, | and late Fellow of Allsoules Colledge, | and Chaplaine to his Maiesty | in Ordinary. | [line.]

Impr. 82: 1635: sm. 4o: pp. [4] + 40 + 34 + [2]: pp. 11 begg. condition of, and hast given them: English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title, within double lines: 1–34, the first sermon, on Ex. xx. 21: 1–40, the second sermon on 1 Cor. i. 12.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 438. The signatures would suggest that the Sermon on 1 Cor. i. 12 was the Act-Sermon, but all copies seem to be bound as above, and the prefixing of the Act Sermon may have been an after-thought. There is nothing in the sermons themselves to settle the point!

11. Legh, Edward. SELECTED | AND | CHOICE | OBSERVATIONS | concerning the | TWELVE FIRST | CÆSARS | EMPEROVRS of | ROME. | [line] | By Edward Legh Master | of Arts of Magdalen Hall | in Oxford. | [line.]

Impr. 154: 1635: (twelves) 16o: pp. [24] + 209 + [7]: p. 11 beg. shew, as: English Roman. Contents:—p. (9) title: (11–24) author’s Epistle dedicatory to his father Henry: 1–208, the observations: 209, “An aduertisement to the Reader”, not seen.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 927, where other editions are mentioned, some with extended range of subject. The words underlined in the above title are printed in red, as well as “Oxford” and “William Webb.” in the imprint. The signatures of the prefatory matter are peculiar: as four blank leaves precede the title, these were neglected and the leaf following the title bears *2 instead of *6, no others having any printed signature.

12. Montague, bp. Richard. APPARATVS | AD ORIGINES | ECCLESIASTICAS· | COLLECTORE | [line] | R. Montacvtio. | [line, then device.]

Impr. 151: 1635: (fours) la. 8o: pp. [30] + 393 + [11]: p. 11 beg. sponsum est, 301 vetus Anna: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within border and double lines: (3) dedication to the memory of James i: (5–29) “Præfatio”: 1–393, the work, in 11 Apparatuses: (1) “Errata”, a long list: (2–11) “Index”.

The author, a Cambridge man, though at this time bp. of Chichester (1628–38), signs the dedication as “R. M. humillimus Ecclesiæ Cicestrensis Minister”. This work discusses pre-Christian antiquities, as preparations (apparatus) to the Life of Christ which is the subject of the same author’s Origines Ecclesiasticæ (tom. i, 2 parts, Lond. 1636, 1640). The underlined words in the above title are printed in red, as well as “Oxoniæ,” in the imprint. A copy was presented by the author to Henry Spelman on 4 Sept. 1635.

13. *†Oxford, University. ... Encyclopædia

{ Seu ORBIS LITERA⸗ RVM provt in florentissimâ iam et omnium planè celeberrimâ
[device]
{ ACADEMIA OXONI⸗ ENSI singulis Terminis publicè in Scholis auditoribus proponuntur

No imprint, but Oxford (?), 1635 (?): (one) la. 4o. Contents:—p. (1) the Encyclopædia.

This is a fine sheet, engraved by “T. Cecill” on metal, 163
16 × 161
16 in. In the upper part there is a dedication of “hæc Encyclopædia et Synopsis Statutorum” to archbp. Laud. A large series of concentric circular spaces fill the centre, each divided into a left hand and right hand half:—counting from the centre (a sun), (1) days of the week, (2) hours of the day, (3) subjects, (4) explanation of the next circle, (5) List of proper audience and books for each lecture: (6) explanation of the next circle, (7) lists of fines for absent professors and absent audience: in the four corners are notes, one of which supplies another title for the sheet, namely “Cyclus Prælectorum ... ex Corpore Statutorum depromptus et delineatus ...”. Some copies (issued in 1638, see below) have a small printed label “Iovis” pasted over “Martis”, or else the plate itself altered to “Iovis”, in the note that Easter Term ends on the Tuesday before Pentecost, and a longer slip pasted at the foot containing a note about the teaching of Arabic and Medicine.

The chart is usually found folded and pasted in the 1638 edition of the abridged Statutes: but a copy in the University Archives is pasted between the two columns of the 1635 Synopsis Statutorum, which in combination with the dedication quoted above suggests that it was first issued in 1635, a natural year for it, when the interest in the new Code of Statutes was fresh. There is nothing to suggest that it was printed away from Oxford. The device in the title is a well-made representation of the University arms with the motto “Sapientiæ et felicitatis”.

Thomas Crossfield of Queen’s certainly edited the 1638 Statuta selecta, and may have issued the Synopsis (which is in his style), and possibly therefore the Encyclopædia. At any rate he took the plate of the Encyclopædia and used it in 1638. It is in his own copy of the Statuta selecta that the altered plate is found (see above); and the note about Arabic and Medicine is there in his own handwriting preceded by a ☛, just as in the printed slip.

14. ——. SYNOPSIS SEV EPITOME STATVTORVM, | Eorum præsertim, quæ Iuventuti Academ. Oxon: maximè | expedit pro Doctrinâ & Moribus habere cognita. |

Impr. 153: 1635: (one) folio: pp [2]: 2nd col. beg. Tempus ad Gradus: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) the Synopsis, in two columns.

These are extracts from the newly printed Corpus Statutorum, for the use of junior members of the University, but the fuller edition in book form first issued in 1638 (which see,) was taken as the model for all succeeding issues. The title heads the first column, and the colophon ends the 2nd. See the preceding article, for possible authorship.

Persius. The statement by Wood (Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 523) that there is a 1635 Oxford edition of Barten Holyday’s translation of Persius, which deceived Brüggemann, is erroneous: the edition referred to was printed at London.

See 1620 J. This is Rouse’s new edition of the little Appendix to the 1620 edition of the Catalogue. The MSS. are still mixed with the printed books. The preface shows that Verneuil’s book, see below in this year, could be regarded as a part of this work, though formally distinct. Rouse’s name does not occur, but is necessarily inferred from the preface.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 222. This is an anonymous and much enlarged edition of pp. 163–179 of James’s Bodleian Catalogue (Oxf. 1605): made by John Verneuil sublibrarian. The preface mentions a pirated edition of this book, made without the knowledge of the authorities of the Library, but no copy seems to be known. See Rouse, above in this year.
