1687655L25London: Anon 1687. First edition. Brochure/Pamphlet. Very Good. 8" by 6". None. A seventeenth century pamphlet concerning Daniel Defoe's 'A New Test of the Church of England's Loyalty' and 'A Reply to the New Test of The Church of England's Loyalty'. This work also includes Sir Francis Walsingham's letter to Monsieur Critoy concerning Queen Elizabeth's proceedings against papists and Puritans. It has since been proven that this letter is a forgery and has since been attributed to Francis Bacon writing in collusion with Archbishop Whitgift. The letter was first found in 'Scrinia Sacra' before being published to this work. With the signatures A2 B-C4 as called for. ESTC No. R6019 The first and only edition of this work. Written anonymously. This pamphlet is a response to Daniel Defoe's 'A New Test of the Church of England's Loyalty' and the anonymously produced 'A Reply to the New Test of the Church of England's Loyalty'. It discusses the penal laws made during Elizabeth I's reign which are the Act of Supremacy the Act of Uniformity and the Supremacy of the Crown Act. This work was published the same year that James II passed his penal laws or the 'Declaration of Indulgence' or 'Declaration for Liberty of Conscience' were a pair of proclamations. It was the first step to establish freedom of religion in the British Isles with the King's intention being to promote Catholicism. The declaration was to grant toleration to many Christian denominations. This pamphlet was circulated at a difficult time for the country in terms of its monarch Parliament and Religion. There was an uprising in anti-Catholic sentiment and against James' rule. Political pamphlets like this added fuel to the fire. The year after this pamphlet was issued the Glorious Revolution took hold and James was dethroned. Collated complete. Disbound as is common.

1688655L26London: Randall Taylor; Henry Hills 1688. First edition. Disbound. Good. 8.5" by 6.5". None. Two politically fuelled pamphlets regarding the fallout following James II's Penal Laws. These pamphlets directly relate to the Seven Bishops' petition. The Seven Bishops were members of the Church of England who were tried and acquitted for seditious libel. The bishops include William Sancroft the Archbishop of Canterbury. The seven men opposed James II's 'Declaration of Indulgence' which was supposedly a step towards establishing religious freedom in the British Isles. Many suspected that it was to suit the Catholic King's own agenda. The first pamphlet to this set regards the petition and is stated as being written by 'A true member of the Church of England.' There were two versions of this work published in the same year an eight page edition and an eleven. This is the eleven page edition. This work addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the other six men tells them that they are disrespecting the King by protesting his divine right. The individual discusses the Act in detail and the author tells the Bishops that they have 'divided yourselves from a loyal judicious and religious part of the church you profess yourselves members of'. ESTC Reference R4980. The second work to this set is 'an Answer to a Paper Importing a Petition of the Archbishop of Canterbury and Six Other Bishops to His Majesty' which has been attributed to Henry Care. Care was a Whig propagandist who wrote many anti-Catholic works. It is believed that he founded 'The English Liberties'. ESTC R35842. Both pamphlets collated complete. Two contemporary sources regarding the religious and political problems during the seventeenth century and an interesting insight into contemporary opinion regarding the Seven Bishops. It was this event that contributed heavily to the anti-Catholic riots of 1688 and the Glorious Revolution. Disbound as is usually called for. Externally sound with minor chips to the extremities. Large loss to the front wrap of 'An Address'. Prior owner's inscriptions to the top corner of all leaves as pagination from when they were originally bound.

1687673L6London: Not Stated 1687. First edition. Paperback. Very Good Indeed. 8" by 6". None. The first edition of this very scarce satire on John Dryden written contemporaneously to his success. Scarce - last seen at auction in 1981. Pages 12 20 are misnumbered as called for. ESTC no: R36782 WING: R1206 Collated complete with the final blank. With the signatures A4 B2 C-E4. This work is a satire on John Dryden with extracts from his poems. The title references his allegorical poem 'The Hind and the Panther' which is regarded as one of his most controversial. Dryden had converted to Catholicism around the same time as the Catholic monarch James II's accession to the throne in 1685. Many Protestant writers were disgusted by this particularly as previous poems by Dryden included praise towards Puritan Protectorate Oliver Cromwell. Dryden's 'The Hind and the Panther' came from Dryden's conversion and he describes the different religious denominations as animals making clear his new stance as a Catholic. This 'Trage-Comedy' is a response to Dryden's 'The Hind and the Panther' and his revolt against his previous beliefs. The introduction provides a synopsis of Dryden's poem and states that for writing it Dryden deserves to be 'reckon'd in the number of the Heathen Gods'. A very scarce work which provides context to the political and social climate of the seventeenth century. Disbound as called for. Externally smart with just a few light spots to the front and rear wraps. Internally firmly bound. To A2 there is a small ring mark at the bottom of the page not affecting the text.
