No impr. or date, but 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8], sign. *^4: sign. * 2^r
beg. _By this you see_: English Roman. Contents:—sign. * 1^r, heading
as above: * 1^r-4^{*r}, the directions.
These are Directions to preachers in the Diocese of Oxford, to
restrict their choice of subjects and treatment of them within the
bounds of the XXXIX Articles. The Directions are dated 31 Aug. 1622,
and quote mandates from the King (4 Aug. 1622) and the archbp. of
Canterbury (12 Aug. 1622). It is perhaps doubtful whether this is
genuinely a separate book from _Abbot’s_ Letter, above.

Impr. 40: 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [12], signn. A^4 B^2: sign. B 1^r beg.
_Vniversitas_: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—sign. A 2^r title: A
3^r-B 2^r, the propositions.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 3 and ©Hist. and Antiqq. of the University
of Oxford©, sub anno 1622. The propositions condemned were those
delivered by William Knight of Broadgates Hall in a University sermon
on Apr. 15, 1622, founded on principles of David Pareus, to the effect
that subjects may take up arms against their sovereign. The
propositions and censures were considered in a Convocation 25 June
1622. The form of oath to be taken by all future graduates is
appended, and a note that Pareus’s book was burnt on 6 June 1622.

Impr. 40: sm. 4^o: pp. [58] signn. ( ), *^4, **^1, A-F^4: sign. B 1^r
beg. _Heroum vulgus_: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. ( ) 2^r title: ( )
3^r “Munificentia Savilii in celeberrimam Vniversitatem Oxoniensem”:
( ) 4^r, dedication to the Earl of Pembroke by the “Genius Scholarum”:
( ) 4^v, see below: * 1^r-** 1^v “Oratio funebris habita in scholâ
Theologiæ Oxon. in obitum celeberrimi viri, Henrici Savilii, Equitis
Aurati. A Tho. Goffe ... publico Academiæ Oratore tunc temporis
deputato”: ( ) 4^v, A 1^r-F 3^v, the poems.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 315, 463. The poems are nearly all in
Latin, but 5 are Greek, 2 Hebrew, one French, and one English: there
is one chronogram. The “Oratio funebris” is clearly an added piece.
9. ¬Rawlinson¬, John. “©The Bridegroom and Bride©: On Cant. 4. 8. Ib.
[i. e. Oxon.] 1622, &c. qu.”
So in Wood’s list of Rawlinson’s sermons (©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 506). It
was preached in 1662 and re-printed at Oxford in 1625, but Wood’s
statement is explicit, and there may have been a separate issue in
1622, though I have not met with a copy or other reference to it.
