In the revision of this text in the ©General History©, Lib. 3, in
1624; the testimonies of eight other Gentlemen were incorporated (not
_invented_ as some would think) ...
It is to be especially noted that, while he would endorse it all,
Captain SMITH is not named as an author of _any portion_ of this
Second Part, either in the title in the previous page or in the text
itself: therefore no allusion to the POCAHONTAS deliverance should be
expected in it; and there is none.”

Nothing seems to be known of the author, nor can I find mention of the

This is an appeal made by Travers, who was afternoon preacher at the
Temple in London when Hooker was Master (about 1585–91), against the
inhibition from preaching issued against him by the Privy Council.
Travers was ordained at Antwerp, and had imbibed Genevan doctrine with
which he opposed Hooker. See Hooker’s ©Answer© above. Both treatises
have been frequently reprinted, in Hooker’s ©Works©, &c. This issue
does not seem to have been published by Travers himself, but only in
order to accompany Hooker’s posthumously printed ©Answer©.

Oxford, Iuly 6. MDCXII,” signed “Henry Iackson”: 1–18, the sermon, on
Rom. xv. 30.
For the editor see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 577. The “ancient printed
copie” was neither of the two issues dated Nuremberg 1546, but the
undated one (probably 1546) “overseen” by M[iles] C[overdale], though
Coverdale’s preface is omitted. This was reprinted at Cambr. in 1851,
and one of the others at Oxford in 1828.

A reissue of the sheets of 1604 A, with a new titlepage not printed at
Oxford, the woodcut on title being unknown there.
2. ¬Basse¬, William. GREAT BRITTAINES | SVNNES-SET, | _BEWAILED WITH A
SHOW-_|_ER OF TEARES_. | _BY_ | WILLIAM BASSE.
Impr. 7 (not at foot of page, but, with date, close to rest of title):
1613: (eight & four) 16^o: pp. [2] + 22: Long Primer Roman.
Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) short dedication “to his honourable master
S^r Richard Wenman Knight”: 1–19, the poem in 8-line stanzas, one on
each page, ending with “finis.”: 21–22, “A morning after mourning,” 2
more stanzas, ending with “finis.”
Extremely rare. This book has never been found except in fragments,
and usually in the bindings of books. The Bodleian copy is complete:
Merton college, Oxford, has nearly a complete one from its bindings:
the British Museum copy was dr. Bandinel’s (Sale Catal., Aug. 1861,
no. 44), and contains the first 16 (?) pages. Other fragments are
known to exist, chiefly in Oxford college library bindings. The poem
was reproduced in facsimile in 1872 by W. H. Allnutt (100 copies).
It seems on the whole probable that this William Basse, who was a
retainer in sir R. Wenman’s house (Thame Park), is identical with the
William Bas who wrote ©Sword and Buckler© (Lond. 1602, 4^o), which is
a poetical defence of Serving-men against the scorn of their
superiors. In Stanza 2 of the present poem is a clear reference to
Bas’s ©Three Pastoral Elegies© (Lond. 1602, 4^o) in the following
terms:—“Not (like as when some triviall discontents | First taught my
raw and lucklesse youth to rue | Doe I to Flockes, now vtter my
laments ...”. On the other hand the author of the ©Sword and Buckler©
had two sons, whereas here he speaks of his “young Muse.” Other poems
by “William Basse” (Bas) prepared for the press in 1653 were printed
by J. P. Collier in 1870; and contributions to the ©Annalia Dubrensia©
(1636) and Walton’s ©Angler©, as well as an “Epitaph upon Shakespeare”
are mentioned.
See J. Payne Collier’s ©Bibliographical account© (1865) p. 54, W. C.
Hazlitt’s ©Handbook© (1867) and ©(Bibliographical) Collections©, 1st
series (1876). The author is mentioned as living at Moreton near
Thame, in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iv. 222.
The subject of the first poem is Prince Henry’s death, and of the
“Morning” the wedding of the princess Elizabeth.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 488. A Latin translation of the lectures
(without the sermon) was made by Benefield’s pupil Henry Jackson
(_ibid._ iii. 578) and published at Oppenheim in 1615, the preface
being dated 21 May 1614 and addressed to Abraham Scultetus who had
visited Oxford and made a friendship with Benefield. Benefield printed
a commentary in 21 sermons on Amos chap. 2 at London in 1620, and in
17 sermons on Amos chap. 3 (together with a separate reprint of the
present commentary) at London in 1629.

Impr. 32: 1613: &c. precisely as 1610 B.
This is a rare reissue of 1610 B with a new titlepage printed (not at
Oxford, for the woodcut in the title is unknown there, but) at London,
perhaps by W. Stansby. The old titlepage was simply cut off, and the
new one pasted in.

“Appendix, ubi Auctoris ante biennium edita Responsio, ad Martini

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 18. The bibliography of the controversy
excited by the fresh oath of Allegiance imposed after the Gunpowder
Plot is too intricate to be here treated. It was begun by card.
Bellarmine (“Matthaeus Tortus”) and James I, and followed by bp.

_mentis luxuriȩ_: English Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 2^r,
Latin preface to the reader: A 3^r-B 2^r, the oration.
Rare. Little seems to be known of the subject of this Oration. Sir
George St. Paul of Snarford never matriculated or took a degree,
though according to the oration a commoner of Corpus for two years.
His work at Lincoln and Stamford is described, and his munificence to
the College and the new Schools at Oxford.

(1) title: (3–16) “The preface to the Reader”: (17–18) “A table of the
matters contained in this third booke.”: 1–484, the work.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 169. The title of the complete work is
“Defense de la foy catholique contenue au livre de ... Iaques I Roy de
la grād’ Bretagne ... contenue en trois liures. Contre la Response de
F. N. Coeffeteau ... Par Pierre du Moulin ... 1612.” The 3rd book was
subsequently printed separately in French also, with the title
“Accomplissement des propheties ... Par Pierre du Moulin ...”. The
original work by King James I is “Triplici nodo, triplex cuneus. Or an
apologie for the oath of allegiance ...” (anon., Lond. 1607, and with
author’s name Lond. 1609 &c.: in Latin ©Apologia pro iuramento
fidelitatis©, Lond. 1609, &c.). Coeffeteau’s book was “Responce a

1610). See _Burhill_, above.

Author to the Praisers of his booke”, a short poem: A 6^r-E 8^v, the
200 epigrams.
Very rare: see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 350. This author escaped
Wood’s notice altogether, and his claim to be an Oxford man eluded
even dr. Bliss when he edited Wood in 1815: but he subsequently writes
in a MS. note, “I have now no doubt but that the author of
©Linsi-Woolsie© was of Jesus, matriculated May 18. 1604, a native of
Glamorgan, pleb. fil., æt. 20: B.A. Dec. 17. 1607.” The verses are
extremely poor. The only copy at present known is that in the British
Museum, which was the Heber copy (Heber sale, 1834, pt. 1, p. 141, no.
2734.)

the 40 Articles, in elegiac verse, the 40th being “De Articulorum
ratificatione”: (1–2) “De numero & nominibus Articulorum”, a list: (2)
“Ad lectorem”, a Latin poem.
See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 343. The verses are a paraphrase, with
short additional poems of a meditative kind, written during an
illness.
