Rare. Little seems to be known of the subject of this Oration. Sir George St. Paul of Snarford never matriculated or took a degree, though according to the oration a commoner of Corpus for two years. His work at Lincoln and Stamford is described, and his munificence to the College and the new Schools at Oxford.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 169. The title of the complete work is “Defense de la foy catholique contenue au livre de ... Iaques I Roy de la grād’ Bretagne ... contenue en trois liures. Contre la Response de F. N. Coeffeteau ... Par Pierre du Moulin ... 1612.” The 3rd book was subsequently printed separately in French also, with the title “Accomplissement des propheties ... Par Pierre du Moulin ...”. The original work by King James I is “Triplici nodo, triplex cuneus. Or an apologie for the oath of allegiance ...” (anon., Lond. 1607, and with author’s name Lond. 1609 &c.: in Latin Apologia pro iuramento fidelitatis, Lond. 1609, &c.). Coeffeteau’s book was “Responce a l’Advertissement ... par le ... Roy de la grande Bretagne ...” (Par. 1610). See Burhill, above.

Impr. 29: 1613: (eights) 12o: pp. [80], signn. A-E8: sign. B 1r beg. Which vpward’s: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1r, title: A 2r-A 2v, dedication to Katherine lady Mansell, daughter of lord Lisle: A 3r-A 5r, complimentary verses to the author: A 5v, “The Author to the Praisers of his booke”, a short poem: A 6r-E 8v, the 200 epigrams.
Very rare: see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 350. This author escaped Wood’s notice altogether, and his claim to be an Oxford man eluded even dr. Bliss when he edited Wood in 1815: but he subsequently writes in a MS. note, “I have now no doubt but that the author of Linsi-Woolsie was of Jesus, matriculated May 18. 1604, a native of Glamorgan, pleb. fil., æt. 20: B.A. Dec. 17. 1607.” The verses are extremely poor. The only copy at present known is that in the British Museum, which was the Heber copy (Heber sale, 1834, pt. 1, p. 141, no. 2734.)
