See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, ii. 411, where Wood says that the first part was written in about 1607, and that the writer died in June 1627: that Laud refused to license it for printing in 1635, because it was so strongly worded against Roman Catholicism, and that after this failure the son, sir Edward Hungerford, “got it to be printed at Oxon”, with the Memorial.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 655. This is the first Oxford edition of the Imitation and the only edition of dr. Page’s revision. The reviser, who was the bp. of Winchester’s chaplain, has removed such passages as would offend a Protestant. The preface is largely an exhortation to unity among the churches.
