A TREATISE AND DISCOURSE OF THE LAWES OF THE FORREST

1598ST20689London: Printed by Thomas Wight and Bonham Norton 1598. FIRST PUBLISHED EDITION and First Edition under this Title. 192 x 139 mm. 7 5/8 x 5 1/2". 8 p.l. 154 162-65 159-67 1 blank 6 leaves. Errors in pagination but text complete. Late 19th century dark brown calf covers tooled in blind with plain rules and fleur-de-lys roll raised bands spine panels with small blind-stamped ornament black morocco label marbled endpapers neat repairs to ends of both joints. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Godfrey Wentworth Woolley Park. Beale T-413; Mellon/Podeschi 15; Schwerdt II 7; STC 17291; ESTC S111993. Extremities slightly rubbed boards a little chafed in spots text lightly pressed but not washed a bit of browning to edges and occasional minor marginal foxing or traces of corner creases but quite an excellent copy the text clean and still fresh throughout and the perfectly suitable binding with no significant wear. This is a pleasing country gentleman's copy of the first published treatise on the laws governing English forests. Our author the fittingly named woodsman John Manwood d. 1610 served as gamekeeper of Waltham Forest as well as a justice of the New Forest. DNB tells us that he was possibly a barrister at Lincoln's Inn which would explain his interest in and knowledge of the law. Manwood tells us in the dedicatory epistle that he composed the present work in response to the precarious state of forest preservation stating that "so many do daily so contemptuously commit such heynous spoiles and trespasses" against the country's woodlands but "verie little or nothing as yet is extant concerning the Lawes of the Forrest" to help manage such behaviors. Our copy comes from the first published edition following only the 1592 pamphlet entitled "A Brefe Collection of the Lawes of the Forest" issued for private circulation and now extraordinarily rare. According to DNB the present treatise is "the only substantial work on the subject ever to reach the press" making it an enduringly useful source for those interested in the topics contained which include laws about hunting and perambulation in forests. It remained the standard work on the subject until the 19th century and Schwerdt writes that it has been "invaluable to students and lovers of ancient sport." Our copy is from the library of Yorkshire landowner Godfrey Wentworth 1773-1834 who served as High Sheriff of Yorkshire from 1796-97 and in the House of Commons from 1806-08. He probably had no need for a later printing of the work. Printed by Thomas Wight and Bonham Norton unknown

A REFORMED CATHOLIKE OR A DECLARATION SHEWING HOW NEERE WE MAY COME TO THE PRESENT CHURCH OF ROME IN SUNDRIE POINTS OF RELIGION AND WHEREIN WE MUST FOR EVER DEPART FROM THEM

1598ST16441Cambridge: John Legat 1598. Second Printing. 153 x 98 mm. 6 x 3 7/8". 4 p.l. 375 1 pp. Modern sprinkled calf blind-ruled covers raised bands flanked by double gilt rules brown morocco label remnants of paper library shelf label at tail of spine. Printer's device on title page. Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection; rear pastedown with deaccession stamp of Bradford City Libraries. STC 19736; ESTC 19736. ◆Spine just faintly sunned leaves lightly browned due to paper quality and trimmed a bit close at head grazing headline on a couple of leaves isolated marginal stains or tiny rust spots but an excellent copy fresh and clean in a sympathetic binding with few signs of wear. This was an important work in establishing distinctions in liturgy and doctrine between the Catholic Church and the Church of England written by a moderate puritan whom DNB considers "perhaps the most significant English theologian of his age." Perkins 1558-1602 was one of the most popular voices of his time speaking from a Calvinist puritan point of view; while he could be virulently anti-Catholic he did not believe in repudiating the English church only in reforming it. According to DNB "The genius of Perkins's work did not lie in its originality—his theology represents a conventional recital of Calvinist scholasticism in virtually every respect. His gift lay rather in bringing to a broad audience a variety of theological and moral issues popularizing essentially technical discussions and therefore as Fuller observed humbling 'the towering speculations of philosophers into practice and morality.'" The present work spread his polemical influence beyond England to the Continent; even the Catholic bishop William Bishop admitted he had "not seene any book of like quality published by a Protestant to contain either more matter or delivered in better method." Both the 1597 first edition and our 1598 second printing are rare: no other copies of either edition are recorded at auction by RBH or ABPC in the past 50 years. John Legat unknown

1581ST15633London: Printed by H.

Title page with early ink inscription of Richarde Grosvenor; front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Grosvenor's descendant Hugh Duke of Westminster dated 1884; front free endpaper with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. STC 11448; ESTC S112728. ◆Vellum somewhat soiled small chip to head of rear cover a little soiling to title page isolated faint foxing or small rust spots but an unusually clean and fresh copy internally in a serviceable binding with antique appeal. This is an infrequently seen polemical treatise from the English Reformation addressing theological arguments over Purgatory and transubstantiation one of 21 such works Fulke 1528-89 produced to refute Roman Catholic attacks on the doctrines of the Church of England. According to DNB "Fulke conceived the project of answering all works of controversy written in English by papists since 1558 and of doing so by the technique of exhaustive rebuttal answering every point large and small made in the writings of his opponents. . . . Fulke was well equipped for this role by his vast erudition especially in patristic literature and his command of biblical and classical languages as well as his painstaking concern for accurate detail and the rules of logical argument." During the last decade of Fulke's life "no year passed without the appearance of one or more books by him in defence of Protestantism and in confutation of the church of Rome. His language was unmeasured and even in that age he was conspicuous for the virulence of his invective against his opponents. His learning was however extensive and sound and he was an able master of controversy." Our copy resided in the Grosvenor family library at Eaton Hall for more than 200 years and later passed into the Fox Pointe Collection of Howard Knohl who in the 1980s began collecting English language first editions from before 1700 amassing a library of more than 4000 titles one of the largest privately owned collections in this subject area. This is a rare book: ABPC and RBH find no other copies at auction since 1975; ESTC and OCLC locate just two copies in North American libraries. Printed by H. Middleton for George Bishop unknown

THE MIRROR OF HONOR

1597ST15850London: Printed by the Widow Orwin for Thomas Man 1597. FIRST EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY. 187 x 130 mm. 7 3/8 x 5 1/8". 5 p.l. 93 pp. 20th century gray paper boards. Printer's device on title page. Title page inscribed "Gyven to name inked through but perhaps "Thomas Langham" by the aucthor Jo. Norden"; tail margin of title inscribed "Constantin Adyn his booke"; 19th century ink signature of Benjamin Hynam on recto and verso of title. Front pastedown with early 20th century bookseller's description pasted on. STC 18614; ESTC S113322. ◆Boards a bit soiled but otherwise unworn minor dust-soiling or browning to head margins one quire a little browned occasional trivial smudges or tiny rust spots but an excellent copy generally clean and fresh. Written during a fallow period in the author's regular career as a cartographer this work emphasizing the importance of service to God for all leaders and common soldiers in the sovereign's army was inscribed by the author to a friend or patron. One of several works Norden dedicated to the earl of Essex it got our author into professional difficulties when Essex's enemy Robert Cecil rose to power and was in a position to impede Norden's career as a mapmaker. Norden quickly tried to push responsibility onto a "false Norden" from Kent he was from Somerset but biographer Frank Kitchen has established that the shared "interests backgrounds written expression everyday circumstances and style" indicate there was but one author. Though best known for his surveys and maps--including the first county maps of England to include roads--the pious Norden ca. 1547-1625 also produced numerous works of devotion and prayer among them the enormously popular "A Pensive Mans Practice" which went to 40 editions in his lifetime. While his sincere religious sentiments are not to be doubted it must be acknowledged that Norden was most moved to write these manuals when he was between surveying jobs and short of money. Aimed at soldiers of every rank the present work urges the "necessity of the fear and service of God" and "the use of all divine virtues both in commanding and obeying practicing and proceeding in the most honorable affairs of war." Norden also encourages civilians to support and respect the military and to pray for men-at-arms. This is an especially rare work: OCLC and ESTC find five copies in U.S. libraries and except for the two copies in the Cottesloe Library there seems to have been only one other--defective--copy at auction listed by RBH and ABPC. The present item is even more desirable as an extremely uncommon presentation copy signed by a 16th century English author. The Constantin Adyn who owned our copy is likely the early seventeenth-century schoolmaster otherwise known as Constantine or Constantinus Adyn fl. 1605-25 whose school was situated in Brighton according to Church of England records. The latest owner is likely the Anglo-Russian writer bibliophile and watchmaker Benjamin Hynam 1769-1859 a prominent figure in the distinguished Hynam family imperial watchmakers to Russian royalty. In the late eighteenth century the Hynams maintained a presence in both St Petersburg and London. Printed by the Widow Orwin for Thomas Man unknown

This rare treatise addressing all aspects of war has been cited by military historian Beatrice Heuser as perhaps a unique example of a case "in which a civilian an 'armchair strategist' published a book containing a comprehensive concept for how to conduct a war with a specific enemy that was applied in practice." According to Heuser Sutcliffe penned "a national security strategy for England" and one that Robert Devereux Earl of Essex to whom the work is dedicated put into practice in the country's ongoing conflicts with Spain leading to the operation that resulted in the successful capture of Cadiz in 1596. Sutcliffe had met Essex at Trinity College Cambridge where he had likely served as one of the young earl's tutors. DNB observes that Sutcliffe who studied law before becoming a doctor of divinity applied his legal training to this work in which he examines not only fortifications aggressive and defensive tactics and the practical considerations of recruiting paying feeding and housing armed forces but also discusses laws and regulations governing the military. Cockle notes that the work "was well known both at home and abroad" and that it "urged the importance of military studies." Following this consequential work Sutcliffe restricted his writings to theological subjects and enjoyed a 40-year career as dean of Exeter Cathedral. This work is rare in the marketplace: ABPC and RBH find just three other copies at auction in the past 40 years. Deputies of Christopher Barker unknown

The father of the modern English language and the father of the English Reformation Tyndale was spurred on by the desire to "cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scripture" than the clergy of the day. He would be killed for this cause in 1536. The translation was bitterly opposed by Bloody Mary and many copies of Tyndale's Bibles were burned. Research has shown that at least eighty percent of the King James Version is Tyndale's.ScarcityUSTC records 21 copies in holding with most copies lacking the title page.

Matthew's Tyndale Bible The Byble that is to say all the holy Scripture: In which are contayned the Olde and New Testamente truly and purely translated into English and nowe lately with greate industry and diligence recognised.

1549T61London: By S. Mierdman for John Daye and William Seres 1549. Folio 11.75 x 7.75 in. Collation: Aa2 Bb6 Cc8 D-R6 S4 First Part: Gen-Deut; Aa-Tt6 Second Part: Josh-Job; Aa-Gg6 Hh8 Ii-Zz6 AAa8 Third Part: Psalms-Malachi; Aaa-Mmm6 Nnn4 Fourth Part: Apocrypha; A-T6 V8 Fifth Part: New Testament. Lacks D1 Gen 1-2 provided in good facsimile. Description: General title page 1549 surrounded by a border comprised of 14 woodcuts. Title and Almanacke printed in red and black. Two large half-page engravings before Psalms and Isaiah. Many woodcuts throughout the text. Text in black letter double columns with 65 lines to the full column. Text is ruled in red from Genesis through 2 Samuel and again throughout the New Testament. Text divided into five parts with divisional title pages to each part surrounded by two ornamental blocks and two woodcuts above and below depicting narrative scenes. This Bible contains the famous note in 1 Peter 3: "And yf she be not obedient and healpfull unto hym endevevoureth to beate the feare of God into her heae that thereby she maye be compelled to learne her duitie and do it" and is sometimes referred to as the "wife-beater Bible." The text includes Tyndale's chapter summaries and prologues including his notes in Revelation where he refers to the Pope as the antichrist.Binding: Contemporary brown calf over beveled oak boards. Covers featuring a mid-sixteenth century blind roll design within concentric frames. All metal corner- and centerpieces intact. Clasps and hasps were likely added later. Plain endpapers. Extremities lightly rubbed and scuffed but wonderfully preserved overall.Condition: Clean and bright with good margins; some of the red rules slightly faded; a few leaves with lower corner repair O4 R2 fore-margin repair Ee5-6 none of which impact the text; I45 in New Testament with small repair reducing one letter to headline; some thumbsoiling to edges; A near complete copy in a stunning contemporary binding and in far better condition than typically seen. Provenance: "David K. Parsons 2005" to front pastedown; laid down copperplate engraving depicting the final interview of John Rogers with his wife and eleven children just prior to his burning at the stake by Bloody Mary; birth records of James and Elizabeth Sage to blank leaf before Apocrypha; ex-libris stamp of David Parsons to final blank leaf. Note: The Matthew's Bible also referred to as the Matthew's-Tyndale Bible was printed in 1537 1549 two editions and 1551. Copies of the 1537 first edition are very difficult to find and rarely complete. The text was reprinted twice in 1549: one edition with the notes slightly revised by Edmund Becke and the "wife-beater" note at 1 Peter 3 this copy and the other edition being a straight reprint of the 1537 text without woodcuts and a notoriously bad printing. This edition boasts numerous woodcuts in the text especially the Pentateuch the gospels and Revelation. John Rogers was a central figure in the history of the English Bible. Best known as the editor of the Matthew's Bible Rogers deliberately worked under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew" to distance the volume from the condemned and dangerous name of William Tyndale. This strategic choice allowed the Bible to circulate more freely at a time when Tyndale's translations were officially banned. In reality roughly two thirds of the Matthew's Bible consists of Tyndale's work including Genesis through 2 Chronicles and the entire New Testament. Rogers helped preserve and disseminate Tyndale's translation during a period when doing so openly could invite severe punishment.Rogers' faithfulness to Scripture ultimately cost him his life. During the reign of Queen Mary I when she sought to return England to Catholicism Rogers was arrested for heresy and became the first Protestant martyr of Mary's persecution. In 1555 he was burned at the stake at Smithfield reportedly in the presence of his wife and children bearing witness to his convictions to the end. The Matthew's Bible is considered to be the primary version of our English Bible.References: Herbert 74; Harold H. Hutson and Harold R.
