the universe, the sun and planets revolving round it! There are many
woodcut diagrams in the text.

the character of Wither. The author is unknown.

Antonio Possevino (_d._ 1611) is cited as planning a purgatio

James opposes his plea for freedom of research.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. This is a reprint of the text of the
©Humble ... Request© below (except the last paragraph beginning “For
the raising of the charges,” which James probably saw to be
unpractical), with the addition of comments, written in senile style
but obviously by dr. James, and of great interest both for the
biography of the author and the principles of criticism as applied to
editing a text from MSS. These 26 “Theses or Rules concerning the Art
Criticke” are, at p. 23, followed by examples. Dr. James paid two
Dutchmen for transcription abroad at the rate of 20_s._ per quire,
each quire taking them a week, and the hundred quires per year
sufficing to keep two presses at work (p. 17). At p. 26 he explains
that a critical remark by bp. Bilson first set him about compiling the
©Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis© (Lond. 1600).

the request, signed “T. I. S. T. P. B. P. N.” (i. e. Thomas James,
Sanctae Theologiae Professor: for B. P. N. see note to 1599 R.: but
the occurrence of the letters here without any text or motto favours
the interpretation “Bono Publico Natus”): (1) a form of approbation of
the scheme, signed by 17 leading men in Oxford.
Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. This (and still more the
©Explanation© above, which see) is an interesting plea for the
application of criticism to aid in restoring the texts of Fathers and
Schoolmen which had been corrupted by Roman Catholic theologians. The
date cannot be precisely ascertained: the titles of the approvers only
confine it to 1624, 1625, or 1626: the ©Explanation© alludes to it as
“lately” issued: so that it is difficult to say whether 1624 or 1625
is the year of issue.

Rare. A poem on the plague at London in the summer of 1625. There are
allusions to the author’s stay in Oxford for some weeks and the small
mortality there.
23. ¬Terry¬, John. THEOLOGICALL | LOGICKE: | _OR_ | THE THIRD PART OF

of the | Christian Faith, and that it is not withstood and resi-|sted;
but assisted and fortified by all the forces of right | reason, and by
all the aide that artificiall Logicke can | yeeld. | _Against the
heathenish Atheist, and the Romish Catholick_, | _whereof the one taketh
exception against the Faith of_ | _Christ in generall; and the other

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 736. The author was chaplain to the
bishop of Lincoln. Hebrew pointed type seems to be used for the first
time at Oxford in this sermon, at sign. C 6^v.

indigitamenta”, a conspectus: 1–79, (1), the work, in 3 parts.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 217. The first edition was published in
London in 1623, with a similar title, giving 12 July 1623 as the date
of the Dissertation: the preface is dated 29 Sept. 1623 and the
dedication is to William Camden, then alive, but the Oratio is not
prefixed. For other edd. see 1637 W, 1662.

Impr. 67: [1626?]: sm. 4^o: pp. 30 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _Chrestienté_:
Pica Roman. Contents:—p. 1 title: 3–30, the work: (1–2) not seen.
Very rare. This is a curious production of a Dutch press, and appears
to be a vigorous defence of Barneveldt (_d._ 1619) and the Arminians
against Maurice prince of Orange and the Gomarists. Latin, French,
Dutch and Italian are used, and the whole piece abounds with lacunae.
“Walter Map” in the imprint is of course the well-known archdeacon of
Oxford in the 12th cent., whose satires are still appreciated.

sir Richard Blunt, signed “Rob. Barnes”, “from my study at Greys this
4th of May, 1626”: 1–30, the sermon.
See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 339. The author was the son of Joseph
Barnes the printer, and a Fellow of Magdalen College: the dedication
contains some biographical matter, and the sermon some Henley affairs,
such as ploughing on Easter Tuesday, which the preacher laments.

answers in Latin verse: 1–25 the two diatribae; 27–63, the concio, on
Jud. 11.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 633. The preface explains that the
discourses were printed in order to confute a charge of Arminianism.

(3–4) “To the Reader,” unsigned, but by William Pinke the translator,
see below: (5–8) “A Table of the Chapters”: 1–173 The Examination, in
41 chapters and a Conclusion: (2) “Faults escaped in some copies,” 6¼
lines of Errata.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 476, where Bliss adds a note from White
Kennett’s copy of the 1^{st} ed. of the Athenæ (at i. 463) “William
Pinke. He translated and published An Examination ... 1626. 4^{to}.
Ded. to the Master Wardens and Assistants of the Skinners Company. by
W. P. [William Pinke] acknowledging his Engagements to the whole
Company, and reverencing the Memory of that worthy Knight Sir James
Lancaster.” Neither the British Museum copy nor the two Bodleian
copies contain the above dedication, the signatures of the preliminary
matter being, on each leaf:—(blank), *2, **, (blank), forming one
gathering of 4 leaves of a natural kind, though the double asterisk is
odd. The original French bore the title “Traicté auquel sont examinez
les preiugez de ceux de l’Eglise Romaine. Contre la Religion Reformee”
(La Rochelle, 1617.) Cameron was a Scotchman, minister at Bordeaux and
Professor of Theology at Saumur. The address to the reader apologises
for using the word _prejudice_ as a translation of the French
_Preiugé_, which means a preconceit either good or bad: and says “I
have not construed but translated.”

xiv. 26.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 273. The “P. T.” of the title seems to
be _Pro Tempore_: the use of 1626 for 1625 or 1625/6 is noticeable.

lectiones delivered in successive Comitia 1616–1625.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 267. I have not seen even any notice of
the first edition. These Lectiones are quite distinct from the
Orationes below. See 1627 P.

See 1631 F, 1636 F, 1662, 1678. The printer says that he has cleared
this edition from the errors of Froben’s. I have seen a copy in which
the type of pages 12 and 13 has changed places. The work is an apology
for Christianity.

See 1621 H, Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 557. In the copy seen on p. (2)
at the end of the book, in the original printing of the English lines
beginning “But whither goeth”, l. 6 (beg. “Into safe”) is before l. 4,
making nonsense: and a corrected reprint of the whole 12 lines is
pasted over the faulty original.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. The intention of the book is the
reverse of the aim of the ©Indices Expurgatorii©, namely to give a
select list of recommended books. Those which were in the Bodleian are
marked with a star.

dated 5 Dec. 1626: A 3^r-C 2^v, the oration.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 445. The oration is of considerable
interest for the history of Oriental studies at Oxford. It claims to
be the first on the subject at Oxford, quotes the decree of the
Council of Vienne 1311–12 that there ought to be instruction in
Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee at Oxford, and urges the fitness of the
study in Oxford. Pasor was lecturer on Arabic only from 1626 to 1629.
Some Arabic MSS. in the Bodleian are mentioned on sign. B7^r and B7^v.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 38. The first four books contain Great
Britain. The signatures begin again with the 10th and with the 11th
book, but every book is separately paged. The matter is a mixture of
history and geography.

Chichester, one dated 7 Jan. 1622 or 1623: 7–32, the discourse, on
Luke xii. 32.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 443. The original treatise of Coelius
Secundus Curio (an Italian, _d._ 1569) entitled “... De amplitudine
beati regni Dei dialogi sive libri duo” was first published in 1554,
and his contention that the number of the saved is greater than that
of the lost is here refuted.

The first edition of Airay’s Logic, see 1633 A, 1660. The preface
explains that the author’s name is omitted from modesty, and that
several MSS. of the first three books have been compared and something
added, as well as three more books.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 653, and 1621 B. The author’s name does
not occur in the book. The engraved title is divided into 12 parts,
arranged in horizontal rows of three, but the rows are not of equal
height: no. 1 (left top corner) is “Zelotipia,” birds with river and
trees: 2. “Democritus Abderites” by his garden, under a tree: 3.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 222. The author states that when he
first came into England he “belonged unto” Sir Tho. Leigh and his
grandfather of the same names. The “sovereign judge” of the treatise
is declared to be “God speaking in the Scriptures.”

1629 ed. (and presumably all subsequent editions) is expurgated of
passages supposed to reflect on Arminianism. See 1640 C. The British
Museum, Bodleian, Advocates’ Library at Edinburgh and the Library of
Trinity College, Dublin, do not seem to possess a copy of either of
the two first editions.

See 1630 C. The author was Giovanni della Casa, and the translator
Nathan Chytraeus, whose initials occur on p. 1: but the copy seen had
no trace of “J. W. de Umbra variæ,” though the binding was original.
There are many editions of the Italian and Latin forms of this
treatise (see 1630 C and 1665), and some of an English translation.
Pp. 1–128 of this edition were reissued as part of the 1665 edition.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 331 (where “Lond.” is an error for
“Oxf.”) and 1629 P. Pemble died in 1623. The editor was a pupil of
Pemble (Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 1062), and succeeded him in his
lectureship at Magdalen hall. There is something curious about the
printing of this volume: the pagination is peculiar, and sign. K 1^r
(p. “31”) has the running title of sermon 4 instead of 5: also the
catchword on p. “38” is _have_ instead of _having_, and the next page
differs in style of printing. The second edition shows each sermon
with a separate pagination, but appears otherwise to be a verbatim
reprint. The signatures of this first ed. begin again with the second
sermon, and the first at least of the last two leaves bears no
signature, though beginning a new sheet.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 456. This tract is generally found
without any title page (signn. A—B^4 only): the London booksellers
seem to have printed one for their own purposes, not deeming the title
as it heads p. 1 (“Sir Beniamin Ruddierd’s speach in behalfe of the
Cleargy.”) sufficient. Some early copies have the number of the first
page central over the author’s name, enclosed in brackets; but it was
doubtless soon moved to the upper right hand corner, because in its
original place it seemed to indicate a first _part_ of the tract
rather than simply the first page. This speech was reprinted at London
in 1641.

For the translator see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 53. This is a

(also “1623”) printed for Edw. Blount, who assigned his edition to R.
Allot, for whom the Oxford edition was printed, on 1 Dec. 1628. The
only omission is the two lists of errata in the London issue. The
demand for this entertaining book was such that a third corrected
edition was published by Allot in 1634. The translator was secretary
to sir John Digby when Ambassador in Spain, and the first edition of
the original Spanish is dated 1599 (1st part) and 1602 or 1603 (2nd
part). Each page (and margin) is enclosed within lines.

is to say with the “nature, qualities, measure, with other general
properties of the earth”, and not with a description of separate
countries.
