See 1603. H, and Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 518. On a kindred subject with Holland’s speech printed in 1601: the priority of the University in celebrating the Queen’s day is again mentioned. Reprinted in Somers’ Tracts.
7. Howson, dr. John. [woodcuts] | VXORE | DIMISSA PROPTER | fornicationem aliam non | licet superinducere. | TERTIA THESIS | IOANNIS HOVSONI | Inceptoris in Sacra Theolo-|gia, proposita & disputata in | Vesperijs Oxonij. | 1602. | [woodcuts.]

See 1606. H, and Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 60, 518, iii. 18, where a bibliography is given of the controversy excited by Dr. Howson’s Thesis. The actual day of disputation was 10 July 1602. There are two issues of this book, one in which the title is a separate leaf, independent of the four sections (A-D8) which follow, D 8 being blank: the other where the title is A 1, D 8 being the last leaf of the text.
8. †Oxford, Trinity College. Decretum de Gratiis Collegio rependendis. | [the text of the decree.]
No imprint, but probably printed at Oxford: (1602?): (one) fol.: pp. [2]: l. 11 beg. I. Imprimis: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title and text of the decree.
A Latin decree passed by the President and Fellows of Trinity college on 12 Dec. 1602, compelling all who have been or are on the foundation of the college to show their gratitude by a proportionate gift of money, and enjoining on all future scholars an oath that they will fulfil this decree. Signed by the President and Fellows. There is another issue similar in form but apparently printed in London, which can readily be distinguished by having a headline of woodcuts, and 43 (instead of 52) lines of print.
9. *†Oxford, University. [Orders for the Market of the City of Oxford, issued by the Chancellor of the University: beg. “Thomas Baron of Buckurst,” ends “transgressor of this commaundement. God save the Queene.”]
No impr.: [not later than 1602]: (ones) fol.: pp. [4]: English Roman. Contents:—pp. (1, 3) the orders (probably 30 in number).
The only copy known was rescued from a binding in Brasenose College Library at Oxford, where it now is. The titles of Lord Buckhurst are given, and show that the earliest possible date is 15 May 1598 when he became Lord High Treasurer: the latest being 24 March 1602
3, when the Queen died. No doubt the sheets were fastened together forming one long notice. The Brasenose copy has lost a few lines at the end of the first column (67 lines left), the second is complete (62 lines).
