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. Internally both pamphlets are generally firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned with the odd handling marks and spots. Good Randall Taylor; Henry Hills unknown

1673V75714London acc. to Wing: Publisher not identified 1673. Hardcover. Good. Octavo 165x105mm in darkened calf-covered boards neatly repaired with remnants of original spine leather viii310pp2pp blank. Titlepage missing upper right corner but text not affected staining to lower edge throughout but not affecting text. Ink ownership dated 1750/1 at top of titlepage another "Catherine Sponer" on verso of final blank. Fore-edge staining/soiling mainly to beginning and end expecially in bottom left hand corner but not affecting readability. Corners rounded but with good margins throughout. Peter Walsh was born in County Kildare. He was guardian of the Franciscan friary at Kilkenny 1648-1650 and then served as chaplain to Castlehaven s army in Munster. All Catholic clergy captured by the Cromwellians were executed and Walsh in danger of death fled Ireland eventually to London where he lived obscurely until the Restoration. Walsh remained a devout adherent of the Catholic Church but kept friendly relations with the Anglicans. He wrote 1672-1684 a series of controversial letters against Pope Gregory VII's doctrine of papal supremacy a History of the Remonstrance 1674 and various other works critical of his fellow Catholics. This book - very rare in its first edition as here - is usually attributed to him. It argues for tolerance between religious factions calling for true liberty of conscience. It condemns persecution in relation to religion arguing that Catholics have as much right to be tolerated as Recusants. As long as other faiths hold doctrines that are consistant with peace and government they should be allowed to follow their conscience. Such writings put Walsh at odds with the Catholic church but before his death in 1688 may have influenced King James II`s 1687 declaration of indulgence referenced by Wing W627.

Later spotted full calf blind double fillets to boards titles gilt to spine all edges speckled red. An early English account of Morocco by an anonymous pamphleteer sometimes called 'Robert Cottingham'. This volume gives an account of the privateer and adventurer Sir Anthony Sherley's 1565-1636 ambassadorships from Rudolf II Holy Roman Emperor to Mowlai Abd-el-Aziz son of Ahmed II Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. These accounts were made famous in Samuel Purchas's influential 'Purchas his Pilgrimmes' 1614 which is a rather more robust volume. Sherley was a remarkably well travelled Elizabethan gentleman beginning his career as a captain in Robert Dudley's forces before becoming a knight of Henri IV and then launching military expeditions to West Africa Sao Tome and Jamaica. Sherley journeyed to Persia where he became the representative of the Shah in Moscow Prague and Rome. Effectively exiled from his own country Sherley went to Prague where he became emissary of the Holy Roman Emperor to Morocco. He would later became an admiral of the Spanish fleet in the Levant. He died in 1635 penniless and obscure. This pamphlet presents Sherley's experiences in Morocco as well as accounts from other travellers like him as it would have appeared to the English reading public for the first time. Slight nicks to boards joints beginning to crack. First and final leaves a little soiled and small contemporary ink numeral to title-page.

1681705L21London: Nathaniel Thompson 1681. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 11" by 7. None. A fine very scarce political and religious tract written at the peak of the Popish Plot and therefore ant-Catholic hysteria in England and Scotland. A very scarce pamphlet. ESTC reference no R19980. This is setting A referred to by the ESTC with signature mark 'A' on A1 under 'es' of 'unless'. The first line of p.4 reads 'Lastly if he has' with a lower case 'i'. This work was written in response to Elkanah Settle's pamphlet 'The Character of a Popish Successor'. Settle was a poet and playwright who took an active share in the anti-Popish agitation. However later he exposed Titus Oates and with the Revolution of 1688 his political leanings were more towards the Whigs. This is an analysis and response to Settle's pamphlet. Following this work Settle later recanted his 'The Character of a Popish Successor' and cited the danger of the opinions he expressed. Bound in a limp cloth binding. Externally very smart with just the occasional marks. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd light spots. Very Good Indeed Nathaniel Thompson hardcover
