JOHN KNOX.
In completing the proposed series of Knox's writings, I should feel greatly indebted to DR. MAITLAND or any of your readers for answering the following Queries:—
1. In the Catalogue of writers on the Old and New Testament, p. 107.: London, 1663, a sermon on Ezechiel ix. 4., attributed to Knox, is said to have been printed anno 1580. Where is there a copy of this sermon preserved?
2. Bale, and Melchior Adam, copying Verheiden, include in the list of Knox's writings, In Genesim Conciones. Is such a book known to exist?
3. Bishop Tanner also ascribes to him Exposition on Daniel: Malburg, 1529. This date is unquestionably erroneous, and probably the book also.
4. Knox's elaborate treatise Against the Adversaries of God's Predestination was first published at Geneva, 1560, by John Crespin. Toby Cooke, in 1580, had a license to print Knoxes Answere to the Cauillations of ane Anabaptist. (Herbert's Ames, p. 1263.) Is there any evidence that the work was reprinted earlier than 1591?
5. The work itself professes to be in answer to a book entitled The Confutation of the Errors of the Careles by Necessitie; "which book," it is added, "written in the English tongue, doeth contain as well the lies and blasphemies imagined by Sebastian Castalio, ... as also the vane reasons of Pighius, Sadoletus, and Georgius Siculus, pestilent Papistes, and expressed enemies of God's free mercies." When was this Confutation printed, and where is there a copy to be seen?
