title (every page has a double headline): 1–30, a Sermon, on Eph. vi.

24: 1–28 a second sermon on the same text.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 475, where the 1631 edition with four

sermons is confused with this in which there seem to be only two. The

3rd ed. (Oxf. 1636) and 5th (Oxf. 1659) contain also four. Probably

William Lyford, whose preface dated 7 July 1630 is prefixed to all

other editions, edited this tentative issue also. The pagination and

signatures are separate for the two sermons. Pinke died in 1629.

Piscator (Fischer?) died in 1626, and the first edition of the

©Aphorismi© appears to have been issued in 1592. This edition is often

found bound with the Catechismus Oxf. 1629.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 179, and 1631 P & W (2nd ed. of this

Sermon), and also an answer to Prynne. The long preface contains an

account of Puritans, in their ten subdivisions of Perfectists,

(5–16) “... Præfatio”: 1–426, the work in 8 books: (1–26) “Iacobus

Acontius Iohanni Wolfio Tigurino ...” a letter on the method of

preparing books, dated “Londini xii Kal. Decembr. MD.LXII”: (27–32)

“Index rerum præcipuarum ...”.

The first edition was published at Bâle in 1565 and there are English

translations (1648, &c.): the sheets of this Oxford edition were

reissued at Oxford in 1650 with a printed titlepage. The engraved

title (4–5/16 × 2–13/16 in.) contains the title in the centre, and on

each side figures of “Veritas” with a book, and “Charitas” with a

bird: above is a figure “Religionis” (_sic_). Below are six figures of

Sins and in their midst Satan rising from hell. The imprint is also

engraved on the plate. From Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901 fol. 73^v it

would seem that Bagford saw some _printed_ title stating that Turner

was the printer: the engraved title only is in the copies seen.

The titlepage shows the Book of Psalms sent down from heaven and

received by David and James i. It is on one plate with the royal arms

and proclamation, and is printed from metal.

Sparke’s business mark.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 515. The preface states that this

publication is by leave of the author though not undertaken by him, so

it preceded his death on 17 Dec. 1631. Every page has double bounding

lines at top and outer side margin. Spark must have sent his engraved

business mark, chiefly a monogram of the letters of his names, to

Oxford to be printed: see below, F.

except p. (4) is blank, and “At Gresham ... London” is omitted, as

well as “M^r. Brermwoods”.

See 1630 B, of which this is a corrected reprint: the editor in the

interval discovered the difference between _Sabaoth_ and _Sabbath_,

and uses the latter only, in the first edition using the former only!

See 1628 B, of which this is a reprint, with the two additional

treatises. The next article is strictly part of the present work, but

the signatures, pagination &c. being quite distinct (the only sign of

its secondary character is the omission of the name of the _place_ in

the imprint), it is here for convenience’ sake treated separately: it

is also more common to find it separate than to meet with the entire

work.

The first edition of the Natural Philosophy was in 1622, and of the

Moral in 1623, both at Leiden: both were again issued at the same

place in 1626 and the Moral Philosophy again in 1629. The 4th ed. was

in 1637 (Oxford), the next 1641 (Oxford), and others followed, but not

at Oxford. The next art. is strictly part of this book, but is in form

quite independent. Burgersdijck died in Feb. 1635 or 1636.

The author complains of a pirated and imperfect edition, probably

under another title, issued by Robert Swayne “now deceased” (printer

at London, 1621–29). In C. S. Palmer’s Catalogue of Books, pt. 10

(June 1878), no. 256, this book is attributed to Anthony Farindon, for

whom see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 457. Every page is within double

lines at top and outside margin. The original title was probably

“Promises”, for the compositor of one side of the first sheet of the

text placed that as part of the headline, while the compositor of the

other side and of the rest of the work has, as the author suggests,

the new title “Saints Legacies” or “Legacies”.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 654, where Wood quotes two letters about

this book, one against it from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s

Secretary, one for it by Laud, which show that the book was in course

of printing in May-June 1631, but not yet published on June 22. The

error of pagination on pp. 130–32 (“140–42”) was due to the prefatory

matter of the second part being supposed by the compositor to follow

the 3rd leaf of what is now sheet S, instead of the 3rd leaf of sheet

See 1630 P, of which the 2nd and 3rd sermons here are reissues of the

Every page has a double headline, but the four sermons are separate in

pagination and signatures. Pinke was one of lord Digby’s “Readers”

when the latter was at Magdalen.

Medicine at Oxford: 3–38 the work: (1–2) not seen.

See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 450. The work contains the Quaestiones

and Theses by which Primerose obtained his doctor’s degree in medicine

at Montpellier 2 May 1617, beginning on 21 Jan. 1616/7: also the first

medical quaestio defended after his degree, on 21 Dec. 1617. The

“Laurus” must refer to the dedication in which an interesting account

of the University of Montpellier is given. The occasion of publishing

this medical work so long after the time at which it was written, was

no doubt the incorporation of dr. Primerose at Oxford in March 1628/9.

In the Bliss sale (1858) a copy of this book was sold “with duplicate

title-page containing a variation” which I have not seen.

The first edition was presumably in 1621, but the ordinary

Other Oxford editions were issued in 1655 and 1672, and several others

in London and abroad.

“Philalethes”: 1–680, the forty dissertations.

See 1628 V: the printer confesses that this is an unauthorized reprint

of the original edition, in consequence of the daily complaint of the

rarity of the book: and says “Nactus itaque tandem amicorum ope

istarum Thesium fasciculum (integrum vti spero,) ... sumpsi mihi

fiduciam eum iterùm typis meis exprimendi”. There is nothing in this

to indicate that this is a reissue of the sheets of 1628 V, without

even correction of the misprints: on the contrary the list of errata

given in 1628 is omitted. The first eight pages only are printing of

1631. This edition appears to be quite rare, but perhaps only

accidentally so, because copies have not found their way into public

libraries; or possibly Vossius may have succeeded in stopping a

pirated issue.

...”: 1–162, the work: 163–167, “The Close”, a poem: 168, “Catastrophe

Lectori”, an English poem.

For the author, see Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 350. The proof of

authorship is not clear, but the fact seems generally accepted, and

Walkington was certainly a Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge.

The book has also been attributed to Tho. Wilbie and T. Wombwell,

according to Bohn’s Lowndes. This is a reprint of the 1607 London

edition, re-printed at London in 1639 and 1663. Hitherto this Oxford

edition has been generally regarded as the first, and the British

Museum catalogue assigns it doubtfully to 1605. But it cannot be

earlier than 1627 from the woodcuts used, and in that year first

William Turner printed books by himself. And it cannot be later than 2

Aug. 1638 when Michael Sparke assigned this book to John Dawson with

one of 1631 and one not earlier than 1631. Again, a comparison of 20

imprints of Michael Sparke between 1627 and 1638 raises a presumption

that he did not use the expression “are to be sold by Michael Sparke

at (or, dwelling at) the Blue Bible in Green Arbour” (nor was he

connected with Oxford printers) until 1632, and he uses no local

description of the kind at all in his imprints till 1629. On the whole

1631 is a probable year for the issue of this book, and 1631–33 more

likely than any earlier or later date.

The engraved title on steel (size of plate 5½ × 3½ in.) does not occur

in the 1607 ed. and was doubtless made for this occasion: it was

altered in the imprint and then used again in 1639 and 1663. On either

side of the title is a graduate in cap and gown representing

“CAMBRIDGE” and “OXFORD”: together they hold upright what seems

intended for an optic glass or touchstone, but presents the exact

appearance of a half-closed umbrella. Facing the title and part of the

plate is another engraving (plate 5½ × 3½ in., as the title) which a

reference to pag. 77 l. 2 shows to represent the Temperaments or

complexions, with concentric rings: at top are two small wholly

fanciful engravings of “Oxford” and “Cambridge”, each 5/16 × 1–11/16

in.

Prynne’s attack on the latter work.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 653 and 1621 B. Ten of the divisions of

the titlepage have now small numbers attached to them, arranged

thus:—2, 1, 3 (top row): 4, title, 5: 6, 10, 7: 8, imprint, 9 (lowest

date.

See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 326. The author says he now prints his

old sermon, because it had been a great consolation to him, he having

just lost his eldest son, a B.A. of Christ Church, by illness.

“Errata”. Each of the 15 bks. and the Life are preceded by a full-page

engraving.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 100. The first and second editions were

issued at London in 1626 and 1628: this is the third, and others

followed but were not published at Oxford. The first five books had

been issued by Sandys at least twice (2nd ed., Lond. 1621). The large

engraved titlepage (9⅝ × 5⅛ in.) is similar to the title of the 1626

London folio edition in general design, but different in detail. In

the 1632 engraving the title (nearly as on the printed leaf, as far as

“G. S.”, with date only and no imprint) is on a sheet held by and

between two figures of Amor and Sapientia, and on the lower edge of

the sheet is “_Francisco Clein Inv: Salamon Sauery sculp:_”. Other

emblematic figures and some Latin sentences fill the page. The British

Museum copy has the engraved title, but the copy presented by the

translator in 1636 to the Bodleian has not. The book is singular in

having no small woodcut ornaments.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 210 (where this edition is not

©Feminine Monarchie or history of Bees© (see 1634 B), are printed in a

peculiar phonetic manner. The system is of considerable interest for

the history of phonetic reforms of spelling and of English

pronunciation, but made no way in practical use. The preface asserts

the superiority of English in generality, by which he means wide

geographical extent of usage, but laments the uncertain correspondence

of sound and spelling, and the labour of learning the language, these

two defects being due both to the want of alphabetical characters for

certain sounds, and to historical changes of pronunciation, to which

some persons adapt the old spelling and some do not. The author

supplies the characters wanted, and counsels strictly phonetic

spelling with certain exceptions where letters not strictly sounded

indicate idiom or derivation. Generally an aspirated letter is

represented by a line drawn through the letter (đ, w̶, ǥ, but ʇ), and

mute vowels by a substituted comma (as strang‘, tru‘, nam‘ly) when not

omitted (as qestion). Also conjoined double e and double o are used,

but the exceptions to the phonetic spelling would be, among others, a

serious objection to this system of compromise. In 1585 W. Bullokar

published an edition of Æsop’s Fables in English, in a somewhat

similar style of orthography.

book is interesting as showing a connexion between William Turner the

Oxford printer (1624–40) and the London printer of the same name

(1623–35). The Stationers’ Register (ed. Arber, iv. 334) records the

transfer of all the London Turner’s rights in this book and the

these books was registered at Stationers’ Hall, and so probably this

imprint, type and woodcuts are not by themselves decisive. Probably

the two Turners are in fact identical, and the Oxford printing

establishment, though founded a year later than the other (but as a

bookseller’s business not later than 1616/7), was the chief one. It is

curious that under these circumstances Turner was allowed to be a

member of the Stationers’ Company, which was particularly jealous of

provincial presses.

The occasion of these verses seems to have been an illness of the King

late in 1632. Most of the poems are Latin, but four are English and

one Greek. One of the printers (W. Turner) contributes some Latin

verses. An anagram occurs in the title, and a chronogram (1632) on

E1^v. There are curious variations in issues, and marks (see the

in order these collections of separate poems. The early issues of

sheet A on A3^r print “R. NEVVLIN _S. T. B._”, the later and common

ones insert _C. C. C._ after the name, as also in A1^v, A3^r (twice):

so “_Nov. C._” is inserted on A4^v, cf. A2^v. An interesting copy is

in the British Museum, being the one specially printed for the King’s

personal acceptance. The differences are that the book is on larger

paper (the size even as bound and cut down being 7⅞ × 6 in.), and the

title entirely reprinted. Every line of the title is in larger type

and spread out laterally, except the anagram itself and imprint: also

ll. 1 and 4 are roman, not italic, and ll. 3, 4, 6, 7 are printed _in

gold_. In l. 6 the two Vs are lower case Us, and in l. 7 Rex appears

as REX. So too the device is altered, and it is amusing to see that

the imprint, for fear of royal vengeance, is altered from the English

“W. T.” (William Turner) to the Latin “G. T.”! This fact shows also

that the _last_ and not the first copy was struck off for the King,

sheet A agreeing with this in being the later issue (see above).

There are some signs of an arrangement of the poems, those by great

persons coming first, and the English last. Some copies of a later

issue have an extra sheet after I (ii, four leaves) inserted, with

more poems, which necessitated a rearrangement of sheet K.
