No impr. or date, but 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8], sign. *⁴: sign. * 2^r beg. By this you see: English Roman. Contents:—sign. * 1^r, heading as above: * 1^r-4^*r, the directions.

These are Directions to preachers in the Diocese of Oxford, to restrict their choice of subjects and treatment of them within the bounds of the XXXIX Articles. The Directions are dated 31 Aug. 1622, and quote mandates from the King (4 Aug. 1622) and the archbp. of Canterbury (12 Aug. 1622). It is perhaps doubtful whether this is genuinely a separate book from Abbot’s Letter, above.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 3 and Hist. and Antiqq. of the University of Oxford, sub anno 1622. The propositions condemned were those delivered by William Knight of Broadgates Hall in a University sermon on Apr. 15, 1622, founded on principles of David Pareus, to the effect that subjects may take up arms against their sovereign. The propositions and censures were considered in a Convocation 25 June 1622. The form of oath to be taken by all future graduates is appended, and a note that Pareus’s book was burnt on 6 June 1622.
