Apart from a little light foxing in a few places the text is clean and crisp throughout and well bound together. John Williams C1633–1709 was a Church of England minister and later Bishop of Chichester not to be confused with the Jesuit priest of the same period. He was very anti-Catholic and wrote a large number of pamphlets attacking Rome. He argued that the Popish plot was genuine and was firmly opposed to the accession of James. His preferment as Bishop had to wait until the time of William and Mary. ii 1-41 iii. pp. Wing W2739 unknown

1694066436Benjamin Tooke c1694. Second edition. Hardcover. Very Good. SECOND EDITION CIR. 1694. This is a rare book not found in English Short Title Catalogue. It appears to be a second edition of a title that is in the ESTC being "A collection of cases and other discourses lately written to recover dissenters to the communion of the Church of England. By some divines of the city of London. In two volumes." ESTC citation # R12519. 1685. Our book which we will call the second edition is a one volume edition of the 1685 title with some changes. 1 Many essays in the first edition have their own title pages but this is not the case in the second edition. 2 The first edition has an essay entitled "The Charge of Scandal and giving Offence by Con∣formity refelled and reflected back upon Separation." probably by Dr. Stillingfleet. This essay is not included in our second edition but a different title "The Church of England free from the Imputation of Popery" by Dr. Hooper Dean of Canterbury is included. Thus both editions have 23 essays. 3 The second edition our book does not have a statement of publisher or date. The second edition has immediately after the text a one page catalogue of some Books printed for Benj. Tooke thus we presume this is the publisher. The first edition was published by T. Basset and B. Tooke. Our copy the presumed second edition with a slightly different title has 507 pp. followed by the one page catalogue followed by a two page Table of the Texts of Scripture followed by a two page Table of those Authors who are Cited in this Book. How did we date this book One of the contributors is stated to be Dr. Tillotson Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury. Tillotson served as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1691 to 1694 thus we date the book c1694. The Title Page reads "To the Right Honourable and Right Reverend Father in God Henry By Divine Permission Lord Bishop of London Dean of Their Majesties Chappel and one of Their Majesties most Honourable Privy Council This Collection of Discourses In Defence of The Church of England: With all Dutiful Submission is Inscribed Presented and Dedicated: By His Lordship's Most Humble and Most Obedient Servants The Editors." The title page is followed by a two page Catalogue of all the Cases and Discourses contained .This is the same format as the first edition. Two leaves before the Title page appear to have been removed. The text block is solid and in very good condition. The covers are slightly loose and their leather is badly peeling away from the boards giving a tattered look. Hubbed spine with no printing or labels. Additional photos available upon request.

Late 19th-century red morocco sewn on 5 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the title author and year of publication lettered in gold on the spine gold tooled board edges and turn-ins gilt edges. Small 4to. With a woodcut printer's device on the title-page 27 decorated woodcut initials 3 woodcut headpieces and a woodcut tailpiece. First edition of an eye-witness account of the beginning of the Eighty Year's War in the Low Countries. The author Sir Roger Williams ca. 1539-1595 fought under Prince William of Orange from whom he claims to have received much information. The present work is considered a valuable and objective account. "As a Tudor historian Sir Roger is virtually unique. Few of his contemporaries could claim Sir Roger's extensive knowledge of military science his intimacy with the leading political and military figures of the age and his personal experience as a soldier." Evans. The present copy was bound by Robert Riviere after 1880."The actions includes the most important events that occurred during the early years of the Dutch war of independence: the political and religious controversies . Louis van Nassau's stirring but unsuccessful campaign in Friesland; William the Silent's march to Brabant; Louis' surprise attack on Mons; the revolt of Flushing; the arrival of foreign volunteers; the follies of the English soldiers in the weeks that followed; the siege of Haarlem; the mutiny of the Spanish soldiers before Alkmaar; the disgrace and withdrawal of the duke of Alva; and the sea-battles around Middleburgh in 1573-1574" Evans.Williams was born in Wales and served as a volunteer in the Dutch army. He fought in the battles of Goes and Middelburgh was present when William of Orange was assassinated helped capture the assassin and apparently almost killed the Duke of Parma during the Siege of Venlo. In 1590 he wrote A brief discourse of war with his opinions concerning some part of martial discipline which is considered one of the best English military works from its time. The present work was published posthumously and is an incomplete reconstruction from a manuscript that Williams wrote but is still very insightful. It is here present in first edition. The second appeared in 1809 when Sir Walter Scott rediscovered it and included it in the first volume of A collection of scarce and valuable tracts. The text has also been republished a few times in the 20th century.With the text "Bound by Riviere & Son" giltstamped at the lower front turn-in and a 19th-century annotation on the first free flyleaf about the author's family. The binding is somewhat soiled with a crescent moon shaped stain on the front board. The work is somewhat browned throughout especially around the edges of the leaves it has been cut somewhat short affecting some of the printed marginal notes.
