So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 331. There seems to be some
mistake, since no such treatise was printed among Pemble’s Collected
Works: possibly Butler’s work on Oratory above has been confused by
Wood: but Watt mentions the work under _Pembelo_ as well as _Pemble_,
as if he had been independent of Wood.

The work against which this was directed was written by a Jesuit named
Matthias Wilson, who also employed the names of Nicholas Smith and, as
in this case, Edward Knott, and was published in 1630. By Oct. 1634
this first edition was nearly sold out, and the author submitted a
copy to archbp. Laud for his approval or correction, with a view to a
second edition. Laud suggested the alteration of a few passages, and
this was made part of the accusations against him at his trial (see
Prynne’s ©Canterburies Doom©, Lond. 1646, p. 251). The second edition
thus altered was printed at London in 1634.

See 1638 R. This is a curious example of three parts of a volume being
entirely independent of each other, there being no general titlepage,
but yet being indissolubly welded together by the signatures, so that
no part could be issued separately. The first edition seems to have
been issued in 1587, the 4th at London in 1619. The plan of the work
is to assign a motto to every emperor, and then to discuss the motto
and character of the person together: so that in effect the book is
largely a discussion of proverbs of the nature of Erasmus’s ©Adagia©.

explanation of 1 Cor.: 155–260, do. of 2 Cor.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 228, but this author is not to be
confused, as Wood points out, with William Slatyer the writer of
©Palæ-Albion©. The dedication gives some autobiographical notes about
the editor, whose tutor at Cambridge was mr. Goade. Strictly, it
appears that there should be two titles as above (to be distinguished
by the first title having _ANALYTICA._ and ἂρτιος, the second
_ANALYTICA_; and ἄρτιος): the second was printed as pp. 1–2, when no
dedication or preface was intended; and when the usual prefatory
matter with the first title was printed, no doubt the second would be
generally removed by the binder.

The sheets of this were reissued with a new titlepage at Oxford in
1644, and republished with other treatises in 1772, and perhaps
oftener. The head-line throughout is “Instructions for young
Noblemen”: every page has double lines on the upper and outer margins.
