Reader”: (7–32) the sermon, on 1 Pet. ii. 11.
In the preface to the sermon it is hinted that the publication of the
sermon was prevented when it was first delivered “now more then a
yeere and a halfe agone.” Wood (©Ath. Oxon.© i. 703), describes this
book as “_Lond._ 1600, _quarto_,” wrongly.
6. ¬Terry¬, John. [_woodcut._] | THE | TRIAL OF TRVTH: | _Containing_ |

Impr. 19: 1600: (eights) 12^o: pp. [8] + “341” (really 327, for
180–191 and 236–237 are omitted in the pagination) + [1]: p. 11 beg.

about the Incarnation; 9 a funeral oration on Ursinus (who died “6
Mar. 1583”) by Francis Junius: (1) “Faultes escaped.”
Rare. The editor apologizes in the preface for this “three weekes
worke,” due to the importunity of the printer, after the editor had
given over the task when only begun.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 607. The epigrams and epitaphs are
of much interest, and some are translated and printed in Dr. Grosart’s
©Poems of Charles Fitzgeoffrey©, 1881.

Maiesties raigne, and aug-|mented in those places wherein, for the
shortnes of the | time, it could not there be then delivered. |
_VVherevnto is adioyned an Apologeticall discourse_, | _whereby all such

the Honour of_ | _this Realme hath beene vncharitably traduced by_ |

Impr. 19: 1601: sm. 4^o: pp. [166], signn. _a_-_c_, A-R^4, S^2, and
one folded leaf, see below: sign. B 1^r beg. _Moses, who_, O 1^r

long dissertation on St. Hugh of Lincoln, and at sign. N 3^r the
author claims for the University of Oxford the first celebration of
Nov. 17 as the Queen’s Day, in 1569? The Stonor Press and Edm.
Campian’s ©Decem Rationes© are alluded to in sign. B 4. The folding
leaf contains a woodcut of the royal arms between two pillars
connected by a scroll bearing the words VIVAT·RE· On the base of the
columns are “I” “D” (the engraver’s initials?). The woodcut, which is
of a rough character, is 5–7/16 in. × 6–15/16 in. A curious usage has
been pointed out to me: on sign. D 4^v, E 2^v, P 4^v, Q 1^r and
perhaps elsewhere Hebrew words are transliterated, but in _b_ 2^r, O
3^v, O 4^v, P 1^r unpointed Hebrew type is used. In the Laing Sale ii.
3709 (15 Apr. 1880) there is mention of a 1600 edition of this book.
3. ¬Ursinus¬, Zacharias. [_woodcuts._] | THE SVMME | OF CHRISTIAN |

See 1587. U. Richard Crosse edited this edition with some slight
additions.

19–25, the treatise.
Rare. For author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© i. 586: the first edition
with the author’s name is that of 1616. An edition of 1586 (London) is
in the British Museum, but the other four preceding the present one
appear to be unknown. See 1616. B, 1654. B, 1673. B: other editions
were issued, not at Oxford.

Impr. 11: 1602: sm. 4^o: pp. [12] + 84: p. 11 beg. _centis pænè_:
Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) Epistola
nuncupatoria to dr. Nicholas Bond president of Magdalen college,
Oxford, signed “Johannes Buddenus”: (7–11) complimentary verses, in
Latin, except one Italian sonnet by Alberico Gentile: 1–84, the work.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 282. Budden was philosophy reader at
Magdalen (afterwards principal of New Inn hall and Broadgates hall),
and this biography was entrusted to him by the college. The running
title is “Waynfleti παλιγγενεσία.” Several original documents are
printed in the work: which was reprinted in [Bates’s] ©Vitæ selectorum
aliquot virorum©, Lond. 1681, p. 49. Rhetoric is more prominent than
historical treatment.
3. ¬Chrysostom¬, st. THEORREMΩN: | _or_, | THE ANCIENT AND MOST |

Constantinople, treating on severall places | of holy scripture:

_saultes of humane_, 111 _belōgs much time_: English Roman.
Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–15) Epistle dedicatorie to a kinsman of the
author lately deceased: (16–21) “To the Christian Reader,” dated from
“Brodegats hall,” Oxford, 2 Sept. 1602: (22–23) “Τοῖς περὶ τῶν λόγων
τουτωνί Ελληνο-Αγγλοικῶν ἐυγνωμώνως ἔχουσιν,” a Greek preface: (24)
“The names of the [seven] Tractes contained in this Booke,” and a
quotation: 1–287, the treatises.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 28. Wood did not know Willoughby as an
author, and Bliss could find no trace of his academical career. But a
John Willoughby certainly matriculated at Exeter College in 1585 (B.A.
1589, M.A. 1593). The treatises are on the Pharisee and the Publican
(Luke xviii), on Ps. xlix. 16, on Ps. xxxix. 6, on the Sick of the
Palsy (John v), on 2 Cor. xii. 9, on the Shepherd and Sheep, &c. (John
xx) and “A Tracte of _Vertue_ and _Vice_.” Unpointed English and Long
Primer Hebrew is used on pp. 1, 26, 67, 107.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© i. 734, and following art.

Impr. 24: 1602: (eights) 16^o: pp. [4] + 51 + [1]: p 11 beg. _it they
must_: Small Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) preface “To the
Christian Reader,” Winsam, 22 June 1602: 1–51, the treatise.
Rare. See preceding art. Like the Powel below this book was certainly
not printed at Oxford, and the imprint is fictitious, the type and
woodcuts being unknown at Oxford. These falsifications can hardly be
unconnected with the fact that John Barnes, the son of Joseph Barnes,
in this year set up business for himself in London. The text is a
reprint of no. 4 above.
6. ¬Howson¬, dr. John. A | SERMON | PREACHED AT S^t. | MARIES IN OXFORD,

( ) 2^r-2^v, dedication to lord Buckhurst, dated from Christ Church,
Oxford, 29 Nov. 1602: A 1^r-D 3^v, the sermon, on Ps. cxviii. 24.
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©.

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-D^8) 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).

(3) title: (5–12) Epistle dedicatorie to John Whitgift archbp. of
Canterbury and William Morgan bp. of St. Asaph, dated from St. Mary
hall, Oxford, 5 July 1602: (13–15) “To the Christian Reader,” dated
similarly: 1–267, the work: (1) “Faults escaped in the Printing.”
See 1615. P: Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 25. The dedications are due to
his patrons’ favour to his father David as well as to himself.

Epistle dedicatorie to Ralph Hockenhul and Hugh Hurlston, dated from
St. Mary hall, Oxford, 1 Apr. 1602: (14) “The Contents of this
Treatise”: 1–71, the treatise.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 25. In spite of the imprint this book,
like the Higins (No. 5) above, was not printed at Oxford, the type but
especially the woodcuts (with one exception) being entirely unknown at
Oxford. It was printed no doubt in London, and the imprint falsified,
perhaps in order to escape the necessity of registration at the office
of the Stationers’ Company.
