An elegant Jacobean reissue of the Latin Book of Common Prayer: a compact service-book that carries the English Reformation into the language of scholarship. First issued in 1560 for use in colleges schools and universities the Liber offered an authorised Latin form of worship for learned institutions while remaining firmly within the post-Reformation settlement of the Church of England. In this 1604 John Norton reissue it survives as both devotional manual and academic artefact: a book meant to be handled consulted and used. By Church of England Author Bio: The Church of Englands Liber precum publicarum is the authorised Latin version of the reformed prayer book first issued in Elizabeth Is reign for use especially in scholastic settings. Modern catalogues and recent scholarship describe it as a revised Latin translation associated with Walter Haddon the Tudor humanist and civil lawyer long linked with the text. Synopsis: A Latin Book of Common Prayer with the Psalter appended designed for use where Latin remained the working language of devotion and learning. The work stands at the intersection of liturgy pedagogy and confessional statecraft: not a survival of the medieval rite but a consciously Protestant service-book recast in classical dress. The 1604 Norton issue continues the octavo form seen in the 1574 edition and later reissues.

NUC 216,238. 574,340 u. 336,191 - Sammelband mit drei selbständig erschienenen Schriften in Erstausgaben (bzw. im Jahr der Erstausgabe erschienen) von bzw. über den zu seiner Zeit berühmten und umstrittenen - auch noch später immer wieder in Publikationen erwähnten - Wunderheiler - Valentine Greatrakes (1628-1682). Der aus Irland stammende 'Geistheiler', wirkte in Irland und England und hatte neben Erfolgen auch Misserfolge zu verzeichnen. Der Sammelband enthält eine Schrift des Naturwissenschaftlers und anerkannten Altphilologen H. Stubbe (auch Stubbes; 1632-1676), die Greatrakes Heilungen durch Handauflegen ins Bereich des Wunderbaren und Mysteriösen verweisen, sowie eine Schrift, die heute dem Biographen David Lloyd (1635-1692) - nicht David Bryce, wie auf dem Titelblatt vermerkt - zugeschrieben wird, in welcher er gegen Greatrakes Stellung nimmt. Als Reaktion darauf verfasste Greatrakes den vorliegenden 'Brief Account' in Form eines Briefes an den bekannten Naturforscher Robert Boyle. Der aus Irland stammende Boyle (1627-1692) gilt als Mitbegründer der modernen Naturwissenschaften. Diese drei zeitgenössischen, noch zu Greatrakes Lebzeiten erschienenen, Schriften sind überaus selten. - Das fehlende Frontispiz liegt in Kopie bei. - Differenzbesteuert

1658ST16442s.l.: s.n. Printed Anno Domini 1658. FIRST EDITION. 190 x 135 mm. 7 1/2 x 5 3/8". 3 p.l. 14 pp. complete. <br/> 20th century vellum-backed marbled boards flat spine with vertical titling. Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. Wing P-2842B; ESTC R207754. ◆Text lightly washed and pressed but still crisp faint foxing to lower edge of title page otherwise a fine fresh copy in an unworn binding.<br/> <br/> Written by an opinionated English cleric this is an extraordinarily rare pamphlet proposing an unusual fund to support young 17th century scholars. According to DNB the scheme outlined in the present work was meant "to support the university studies of young men of promise seeking entry into the ministry." The plan "was approved by John Worthington and Anthony Tuckney and had the support also of John Arrowsmith DD Ralph Cudworth William Dillingham DD and Benjamin Whichcote. The fund raised about £900 and it appears that William Sherlock afterwards dean of St Paul's received assistance from this fund during his studies at Peterhouse Cambridge until 1660 when he graduated BA. Those entrusted with administering the fund sent Poole regular reports on students interviewed and the ratings they had received in philosophy logic and languages. The scheme was abandoned at the Restoration." Poole 1624 - 79 was the author of a number of controversialist pamphlets on subjects ranging from Unitarianism to preaching by lay persons before undertaking his major work: a synthesis of critical biblical commentaries "Synopsis criticorum aliorumque sacrae scripturae interpretum." This is one of his scarcest writings: ESTC lists seven copies two in North America while ABPC and RBH record just two copies at auction. s.n. Printed Anno Domini unknown

With a woodcut factotum and decorative bands built up from typographic ornaments the crowned rose harp leak - depicted by a fleur-de-lis - and thistle representing England Ireland Wales and Scotland. 1 1 blank 11 1 pp. English translation of the Treaty of Madrid dated 1670 also called the Godolphin Treaty between England and Spain. Adopted in July 1670 and ratified on 28 September it officially ended the so-called Anglo-Spanish War 1654-1660 in the Caribbean. The open warfare between England and Spain caused by commercial rivalry had already ended in 1660 after six years of attacking each others commercial and colonial interests but the tension in the Caribbean caused conflict for ten more years. The war officially ended with two peace treaties signed at Madrid: the first dated 1667 and the present second dated 1670. The name Godolphin Treaty derives from William Godolphin 1635-1696 an English diplomat for Charles II and a member of Parliament. The negociations for this treaty between him and the Spanish representative Gaspar de Bracamonte Guzmán ca. 1595 - 1676 a Spanish statesman and count of Peñaranda who also played an important role in the famous Peace of Münster 1648 between France and the Holy Roman Empire started in the autumn of 1669.

Folio: 2. 10-5/8" x 6-3/4" <br/><br/>Gabler though not listing this item does briefly discuss & list divers tracts & pamphlets written in the early 1640s voicing public outrage over a contract between Charles I and the Vintner's Company of London- under said contract the Vintners agreed to pay a 46 shilling tax on every ton of Spanish & French wine & also agreed to annually buy a certain amount from English importers. In return the vintners were permitted to sell cooked victuals a proviso not in their original charter & allowed to recoup the tax by charging a penny a quart more that the officially published price. The ultimate effect was to give the Vintners' Company a monopoly on the wine trade all the while enriching the coffers of Charles I. Needless to say wine drinkers were livid. Parliament eventually responded in the consumers' favor. Gabler pp. 2-3.

From the Middle Ages in England and France it was believed that scrofula or "the King's Evil" could be cured by the touch of royalty; ceremonies were held in which the King would touch and "heal" hundreds of afflicted subjects. <br/>By the late 1400s it was believed that one could also be cured by touching a type of coin called an angel which had been touched by the monarch. After angels ceased to be minted in the 1620s the same effect was said to be achieved by touching a gold medallion embossed much like the old coin.<br/>Some monarchs touched many people. King Henry IV of France touched up to 1500 at one time. The last English monarch to carry out this practice was Queen Anne who died in 1714 but it continued in France. Louis XV touched more than 2000 scrofula sufferers and the last French monarch to do this was Charles X in 1825 Science Museum London. Cf. F Barlow "The King's Evil"Â The English Historical Review 95/374 January 1980 pp 3-27; M BlochThe Royal Touch: Sacred Monarchy and Scrofula in England and France London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1973.<br/>The present broadside setting the dates for such ceremonies is rare on the market: no copies are listed for sale and none have appeared at auction. It also is signed in type by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffryes sic "The Hanging Judge" amongst others.<br/>An interesting manuscript note in a contemporary hand at the lower margin with significant loss calls the attention of "All Parsons Vicars and Curates" to the regulations set forth in the broadside.

FIRST EDITION OF THE MOST COMPLETE OF ALL WORKS ON KING CHARLES I OF ENGLAND AND THE KINGDOM. Charles I 1600 – 1649 was King of England Scotland and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649.<br />Charles was born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland. After his father inherited the English throne in 1603 he moved to England where he spent much of the rest of his life. He became heir apparent to the kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland in 1612 upon the death of his elder brother Henry Frederick Prince of Wales.<br />After his accession in 1625 Charles quarreled with the English Parliament which sought to curb his royal prerogative. He believed in the divine right of kings and was determined to govern according to his own conscience. Many of his subjects opposed his policies in particular the levying of taxes without Parliamentary consent and perceived his actions as those of a tyrannical absolute monarch. His religious policies coupled with his marriage to a Catholic generated antipathy and mistrust from Reformed religious groups such as the English Puritans and Scottish Covenanters who thought his views too Catholic. He supported high church Anglican ecclesiastics and failed to aid continental Protestant forces successfully during the Thirty Years' War. His attempts to force the Church of Scotland to adopt high Anglican practices led to the Bishops' Wars strengthened the position of the English and Scottish parliaments and helped precipitate his own downfall.<br />From 1642 Charles fought the armies of the English and Scottish parliaments in the English Civil War. After his defeat in 1645 at the hands of the Parliamentarian New Model Army he fled north from his base at Oxford. Charles surrendered to a Scottish force and after lengthy negotiations between the English and Scottish parliaments was handed over to the Long Parliament in London. Charles refused to accept his captors' demands for a constitutional monarchy and temporarily escaped captivity in November 1647. Re-imprisoned on the Isle of Wight he forged an alliance with Scotland but by the end of 1648 the New Model Army had consolidated its control over England. Charles was tried convicted and executed for high treason in January 1649. The monarchy was abolished and the Commonwealth of England was established as a republic. The monarchy was restored in 1660 with Charles's son Charles II as king.<br />Archbishop William Laud whom Parliament beheaded during the war called Charles a "mild and gracious prince who knew not how to be or how to be made great." Charles was more sober and refined than his father but he was intransigent. He deliberately pursued unpopular policies that brought ruin on himself. Both Charles and James were advocates of the divine right of kings but while James's ambitions concerning absolute prerogative were tempered by compromise and consensus with his subjects Charles believed he had no need to compromise or even to explain his actions. He thought he was answerable only to God. "Princes are not bound to give account of their actions" he wrote "but to God alone". wiki</p> Printed by James Flesher for R.
