Impr. 169: 1637: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + 31 + [1]: p. 11 beg. deny, but he: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–7) Epistle dedicatory to Sir William Doddington “from the Rectory of Ludgershall, in the county of Wiltes, June 7, 1637.”: 1–31, the sermon, on Deut. xxxiii. 11.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 26. In the copy seen the title is an inserted leaf, the first leaf having been torn out: perhaps this is accounted for by the title given by Wood “History of Tithes: or Tithes vindicated ...”, and the running head line, which is still “The history of Tithes.” Early copies may have this older title.

16. ——. “Sermon on Ephes. 6. 12, 13. Oxon. 1637. qu.”

So in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 26: but I have not met with a copy.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 265 for the author, and 1636 P. This is a collection of twenty sermons by dr. Prideaux from 1614, several preached before the king or court, and several preached at Oxford: those delivered at the consecration of Exeter College Chapel and about Gowrie’s conspiracy being of considerable interest. All, except the second (which is grouped with the first) and the eleventh, have separate titlepages, and are often cited as separate editions, but the signatures run throughout the volume. Sign. Y consists of one leaf only, the other three having been obviously intended for a one-leaf title and two-leaf dedication of the sermon following (no. x in the above divisions, really the eleventh sermon), but apparently they were accidentally omitted. Some were already printed, those before printed at Oxford being nos. i (see 1615 P), ii (see 1614 P), and ix (see 1625 P): and nos. i-vii at least, were printed separately at London in 1621. Collections of these sermons are often found without the general title and in a confused order.
