A 1r, title: A 2r-3v, the letter, to the bp. of Oxford: dated “from Croydon Sept. 4th 1622”: A 4 [not seen, probably blank]: * 1r-4r, “To the minister, churchwardens and parishioners of in the Diocesse of Oxon.”, 31 Aug. 1622, as under Howson, John, below.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 564. The latter part of this piece seems to have been issued separately, see Howson, John, below.
2. Carpenter, Nathanael. PHILOSOPHIA | LIBERA, | TRIPLICI EXERCITA-|tionum Decade proposita. | IN QVA, | ADVERSVS HVIVS TEM-|poris Philosophos, dogmata | quædam noua discu-|tiuntur. | AVTHORE | Nathanaele Carpnetario, | Exoniensis Collegij, in florentissimâ | Academiâ Oxoniensi, Socio. | EDITIO SECVNDA, VNA | Decade auctior, & emendatior. | [motto.]
Impr. 42a: 1622: (eights) 16o: pp. [24] + 395 + [5]: p. 11 beg. tute ab alio, 111 ali: At nullam: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–14) dedication to James Hamilton duke of Hamilton (d. 1649): (15–21) “Ad florentissimam Oxoniensis Academiæ Iuventutem Præfatio”: (22–23) “Elenchus Exercitationum ...”: 1–395, the work: (2) “Errata Typographica.”
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 421, where Lond. is a misprint for Oxon. The first edition was issued at Frankfort in 1621 “authore N. C. Cosmopolitano,” with different prefatory matter, only two Decads, and variations in text and arrangement. See 1636 C, 1637 C, 1675. Some woodcuts of diagrams occur in the text.
3. Clinton, Elizabeth, countess of Lincoln. [woodcuts] | THE | COVNTESSE | OF LINCOLNES | NVRSERIE· | [device.]
Impr. 39: 1622: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + 21 + [3]: p. 11 beg. own natural: Great Primer English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication to lady Briget countesse of Lincolne, signed “Elizabeth Lincolne”: (7–8) “To the ... Reader,” signed “T. L.”, i. e. Thomas Lodge: 1–21, the work: (2–3) not seen.
Rare. The object of this small treatise, “the first worke of” the authoress “that ever came in Print,” is to persuade mothers to nurse their own children. The author appears to dedicate it to her daughter-in-law, not mother-in-law as Bliss states (Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 384 n.). The authorship has been ascribed to Thomas Lodge (Wood, as above), but there is every internal mark that he only wrote the address to the Reader, and possibly revised the whole.
4. Gardiner, Richard. A | SERMON | PREACHED AT | St MARIES IN OX-|FORD ON ACT SVN-|DAY LAST IN THE AF-|TER-NOONE 1622. | BY | Richard Gardiner Student | of Christ-Church. | [device.]
Impr. 49: 1622: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + 30 + [2]: p. 11 beg. and crabbed: English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–8) dedication to Richard earl of Dorset: 1–30, the sermon, on Gen. xlv. 8.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 921.

6. *†Howson, John, bp. of Oxford. [woodcut.] | TO THE MINISTER | CHVRCHWARDENS | and parishioners of | in the Diocesse of Oxon. | [text begins on same page.]
No impr. or date, but 1622: sm. 4o: pp. [8], sign. *4: sign. * 2r beg. By this you see: English Roman. Contents:—sign. * 1r, heading as above: * 1r-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.
7. Oxford, University. DECRETVM | VNIVERSITATIS | OXONIENSIS DAMNANS | PROPOSITIONES NEOTERI-|CORVM INFRA-SCRIPTAS, | SIVE IESVITARVM, | SIVE | PVRITANORVM, SIVE | aliorum cuiuscunque gene-|ris Scriptorum. | [device.]
Impr. 40: 1622: sm. 4o: pp. [12], signn. A4 B2: sign. B 1r beg. Vniversitas: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—sign. A 2r title: A 3r-B 2r, 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.
8. Oxford, University. [woodcut.] | VLTIMA LINEA | SAVILII | SIVE IN OBITVM CLARISSI-|mi Domini Henrici Savilii E-|quitis Aurati, Mathematicorum facilè Principis, nuperri-|mè Collegij Mertonensis Custodis Vigi-|lantissimi, Etonensis iuxta Windsore Præ-|positi dignissimi, & Benefactoris | de Vniversitate Oxoniensi | optimè meriti. | Iusta Academica. | [device.]
Impr. 40: sm. 4o: pp. [58] signn. ( ), *4, **1, A-F4: sign. B 1r beg. Heroum vulgus: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. ( ) 2r title: ( ) 3r “Munificentia Savilii in celeberrimam Vniversitatem Oxoniensem”: ( ) 4r, dedication to the Earl of Pembroke by the “Genius Scholarum”: ( ) 4v, see below: * 1r-** 1v “Oratio funebris habita in scholâ Theologiæ Oxon. in obitum celeberrimi viri, Henrici Savilii, Equitis Aurati. A Tho. Goffe ... publico Academiæ Oratore tunc temporis deputato”: ( ) 4v, A 1r-F 3v, 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.
10. Spark. A | SPARKE | OF CHRISTS | BEAVTY. | [device.]
Impr. 44a: 1622: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + 39 + [1]: p. 11 beg. wrought our: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1–2) [not seen]: (3) title: (4–7) “To the Reader ...”: 1–39, the work, a discourse on Is. ix. 6.
Very rare.
1623.
1. Cotta, John. COTTA | CONTRA | ANTONIVM: | OR | AN ANT-ANTONY: | OR | AN ANT-APOLOGY, | manifesting Doctor Antony his Apo-|logie for Aurum potabile, in true and e-|quall ballance of right Reason, to | be false and counterfait. | By Iohn Cotta Doctor in Physicke. | [woodcuts.]
Impr. 48: 1623: sm. 4o: pp. [12] + 108: p. 11 beg. may be one: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) Advertisement to the reader about the prefaces: (3–7) Epistle dedicatory to the resident Doctors in Physic in the University of Oxford: (8) “Errata ...”: (9–12) “To the Reader”: 1–108, the work.
This is a reply by a Cambridge man to Francis Anthony’s supposed discovery of a medicine called Aurum Potabile, in his Apologia veritatis illucescentis, pro auro potabili, Lond. 1616. For the controversy see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 416. This work was sent to press at Oxford in 1616, but recalled before printing.
2. France. ARTICLES | AGREED ON | IN THE | NATIONALL SYNODE | of the Reformed Churches of | France, | Held at Charenton neere Paris, in the Moneth | of September, 1623. | Which the same ordaineth to be inuiolably kept | in all the Chvrches and Vniversi-|TIES of that Realme. | [device.]

John Young dean of Winchester, dated “Abindoniæ 14. Calend. Decemb. ... 1622,” signed “Tho. Godwyn”: (5) “Benevolo lectori” : (7) “A short Table ...” of contents: 1–277, the work: (2–24) “Index Rerum et Verborum ...”
See 1614 G.
4. *†Oxford, Merton College. Merton Colledge Case. | [the text follows.]
No place or date, but probably printed at Oxford in about 1623: folio: pp. [4], sign. ( )2: sign. ( ) 2r beg. 3 What Baron Althams: Pica Roman. Contents:—pp. (2–3) the Case.
Merton College let the manor of Maldon to the Queen in 21 Eliz. (1578–79), for 5000 years. The lease was disputed by the College in 1621 (“about two yeares since”), and again in this Case, which sets out the reasons for annulling the same.
5. Oxford, University. CAROLVS | REDVX. | [device with AC. on one side and OX. on the other.]
Impr. 42: 1623: sm. 4o: pp. [92], signn. ( )2 ¶4 ¶¶2 A-I4 K2: sign. B 1r beg. Pierides nuper: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. ( ) 1r title; 2r-2v, dedications to king James and prince Charles, Latin poems by the vice-chancellor: ¶ 1r-¶¶ 2v “ΠΑΝΑΚΑΔΗΜΙΚΟΣ. sive, gratulatio pro Carolo reduce, Oxoniensium nomine recitata, à Iohanne King publico Acad. Oratore”: A 1r-K 1r, the poems: K 2r “Epilogus typographorum ad Principem,” two short Latin poems.
Poems by members of the University of Oxford to congratulate prince Charles on his return from Madrid to England 5 Oct. 1623. Most are in Latin, but 4 in Greek and 2 in Hebrew: there are also 4 chronograms, 1 acrostich and 1 anagram. For King’s speech see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 632.
6. Panke, John. See 1613 P.
1624.

A Latin hexameter poem on the death of sir Thomas Reid, of whom I do not readily find any account. No part of this was printed in Oxford, the woodcuts and type being unknown there: even the small device of the Arms of the University on the titlepage (which has caused this work to be ascribed to the Oxford Press) differs from the genuine one. No doubt the book was printed in London.
3. [Burton, Robert]. THE | ANATOMY OF | MELANCHOLY: | VVHAT IT IS. | WITH ALL THE KINDES, CAV-|SES, SYMPTOMES, PROGNOSTICKS, | AND SEVERALL CVRES OF IT. | IN THREE MAINE PARTITIONS, | with their seuerall Sections, Mem-|bers, and Svbsections. | PHILOSOPHICALLY, MEDICI-|NALLY, HISTORICALLY | opened and cut vp, | BY | Democritvs Iunior. | With a Satyricall Preface, conducing to | the following Discourse. | The second Edition, corrected and aug-|mented by the Author. | [motto, then device.]

See “Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 653, and 1621 B. The author’s name does not seem to occur anywhere in the book.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 424. The book was entered at Stationers’ Hall to Will. Turner, 18 July 1623. The author, whose initials only occur in the book, was at this time bishop of Chichester: the editor Vicars had married the bishop’s daughter. Sir Chr. Heydon’s book was published in 1603 at Cambridge, and a second book by him on Astrology published in 1650 was followed by a reprint of the present work in 1651.

For the author and book see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 207, and 1619 F. Only known at present from a titlepage in the Bagford collections at the British Museum (463. h. 3), but it is not likely to be rare.

This is a reissue of the sheets of 1623 F with part of the titlepage altered. There is another issue of this reissue, *undated, with impr. 49a, but no other change from the present edition of any kind.

Impr. 45: 1624: 16o.
Only known at present from a titlepage in the Bagford collections in the British Museum (463. h. 3), but it is not likely to be rare.
8. Heylyn, Peter. Microcosmus: the reference in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 557 to an edition of this year, is probably an error for 1625.
9. Oxford, University. CAMDENI | INSIGNIA· |
Impr. 42: 1624: sm. 4o: pp. [76], signn. ( )2 ¶, ¶¶4, ¶¶¶2 A-F4 G2: sign. B 1r beg. In Camdenum: Pica Roman.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 348, Fasti Oxon., i. 398. Poems by members of the University of Oxford on the death of William Camden, which took place on 9 Nov. 1623. Most are in Latin, but there are 10 Greek, with 5 anagrams, and 2 chronograms. Whear’s Oration contains many biographical details about Camden.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 457. The title and each page are within bounding lines. The author gives as one of his reasons for printing the sermon, that it was very wet when he delivered it, so that his auditors were few.

The omitted diagram would have followed p. 62 of the second part.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 422, and 1635 C. The treatise is of the theory and principles of Geography, not of details like Heylyn’s Microcosmus. The author maintains that the earth is the centre of the universe, the sun and planets revolving round it! There are many woodcut diagrams in the text.

Very scarce. George Wither’s Withers Motto, Nec habeo, nec Careo, nec Curo, was published in 1621 and consists of reflexions on human affairs: this book is a poetical satire on those reflexions, and on the character of Wither. The author is unknown.

Before p. 7 should come a narrow folded leaf, probably about 10 in. high by 5 in. wide, with “The Table of Climes”, printed on one side only.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 629. A singular sermon, more learned than theological. The title seems to be explained by pp. 20–21, where Antonio Possevino (d. 1611) is cited as planning a purgatio bibliothecarum in the interests of the Roman Catholic Church: to this 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 20s. 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).

No imprint or date, but Oxford, 1625 (perhaps 1624) (eight) 16o: pp. 15 + [1]: Great Primer English. Contents:—p. 1 title as above: 1–15, 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.

See Woods Fasti Oxon., i. 416. Selden’s History of Tithes was published in 1618. This treatise is a vindication of a public sermon on the subject which gave some offence. Hebrew Pica (unpointed) type is freely used in the book, for the first time. The title and every page are within bounding lines.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 267. The Chapel of Exeter here concerned (which is not now standing) was built entirely at dr. Hakewill’s expense, at a cost of about £1200. The preface to the sermon mentions many Exeter men of the time and, incidentally, that dr. Hakewill was a kinsman of sir Thomas Bodley. The sermon was reprinted at Oxford in 1636.

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.

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.

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.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 476, where Bliss adds a note from White Kennett’s copy of the 1st ed. of the Athenæ (at i. 463) “William Pinke. He translated and published An Examination ... 1626. 4to. 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.”

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.
