1682028701UK 1682. First Edition . Paper. Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. An Original Handwritten and Signed Property Deed Transfer in Relation and signed by Robert Jago of Wendron. The land in question is in the parish of Helston. Dated 1682. The only person of that period in this small village of Wendrun was the Reverend Rev Robert Jago who was a famous Ghost Layer. According to Robert Hunt in his book The Popular Romance of the West Country published in Reverend Robert Jago was able to converse with the 'invisible world' and the people of Wendron where he was the vicar in the 17th century believed him to have supernatural powers. Hunt wrote that the whole community was frightened of Parson Jago. They believed he had second sight and would use his powers to see if they were behaving themselves! He was able to instantly pick out a thief in a crowd and any guilty person felt instantly compelled to confess their sins the moment he looked at them. It seems to me that Jago ruled over his parish with a fist of iron perhaps creating this terrifying persona to keep his congregation in line. The most famous story about Parson Jago is also the most bizarre. He is said to have had spirits which waited on him and were in effect his servants. These ghosts were invisible to everyone until the clergyman commanded them to appear. The parson rode far and wide over the moorland of his parish. He never took a groom with him for the moment he alighted from his horse he had only to strike the earth with his whip and up came a demon-groom to take charge of the steed." As for his ghost-laying skills Jago reportedly exorcised a ghost who had been haunting a local farmer. Close to Wendron there is a crossroads on a road called Rowes Lane. The crossroads was supposedly the final resting place of a man called Tucker who had taken his own life. Sadly victims of suicide weren't allowed to be buried in consecrated ground at that time. According to the story the lane was haunted and avoided by local people after dark but the farmer coming home drunk from market decided to walk down it and began shouting 'Arise Tucker!'. This he did several times and eventually Tucker's ghost appeared and from then on would not leave the farmer alone. Jago was sent for and was able to lay the spirit on Tucker to rest with ease. Robert Jago died in 1685. Size 275mm x 180mm. Condition is average. Age toned and heavily stained. Light folding creases. More images can be taken upon request. Ref17703 <br/> <br/> unknown

His views and Dr. Rust's are then defended in Henry More's Annotations all 3 thus virtually forming an early society of psychical research. James Collins and Sam. Lowndes 1st first edition hardcover

16764401855London: R. Royston 1676. Preliminaries thumbed a bit foxed and a few scattered stains; binding scuffed and worn at extremities with some loss of the headband rear board stained. Folio with a frontispiece and double page 'Tree of Faith' plate trimmed and mounted on plain paper several other cuts in the text title-page printed in black and red; contemporary English crimson calf gilt unlettered spine with ornately gilt-decorated panels between raised bands. <p><p>The second of several editions of this history of the early church illustrated with remarkable cuts depicting the apostles persecuted in all manner of ways including crucifixion immolation and the dreaded 'cauldron of boyling oyl'. Each apostle is awarded a separate chapter and is depicted both beatified and under duress. William Cave 1637-1713 was a minister and scholar of Church history who took his Doctor of Divinity at Cambridge before serving as vicar of Islington and later in London. He was chaplain to Charles II and Canon of Windsor. Cave's primary area of expertise was the early history of the Church and following the structure of Eusebius of Caesarea he weaves the lives of the apostles into a close narrative that illuminates arcane early theology for his reader successfully making the early history of the Church accessible to a wider audience: 'what is significant about Cave's writings is that they follow the tradition of Christian bio-bibliography that in late antiquity and into the medieval period had such a long and rich history and which was revived in the Reformation. Cave's works provide valuable evidence for the interest in patristic scholarship at the end of the seventeenth century.' ODB.</p> </p> .
