11. *Thornborough, John, bp. of Bristol. THE IOIE-|FVLL AND BLESSED REV-|niting the two mighty & famous King⸗|domes, England & Scotland into their an-|cient name of great Brittaine. | By John Bristoll. | [device.]
Impr. 25a: [1605?]: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + 80: p. 11 beg. Therefore the wise: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to king James: 1–80, the treatise.
The preface alludes to “my two bookes,” the other being “A discourse plainely proving the euident vtilitie and vrgent necessitie of the ... Vnion of ... England and Scotland ...” (Lond., 1604, sm. 4o), which latter was the subject of a remonstrance of the House of Commons to the House of Lords, 26 May 1604, ending in an apology on the part of the author. There is nothing but Wood’s express statement (Ath. Oxon. iii. 5) to settle whether this book was published at the close of 1604 or in 1605: so that statement has been accepted. Otherwise it would seem that the two books were not long separated in point of time. Both were reprinted at London in 1641.
