Davis in Ireland, and by sir Edward Coke in England, in two reports from their greater volumes, 4to. 1674, 2s. 6d. 19. PRYNNE'S (Wm.) exact chronological vindication, and historical demonstration of our British, Roman, Saxon, Danish, Norman, English kings supreme ecclesiastical jurisdiction over all spiritual or religious affairs, causes, persons, as well as temporal, within the realms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and other dominions, from the original planting and embracing of christian religion therein, and reign of Lucius, our first Christian king, to the end of the reign of Q. Eliz. 3 vols. fol. 1665, 1666, 1670.

This work is commonly known by the title of Prynne's records. The author proposed to have carried on this work, as the title specifies, down to the reign of Q. Eliz. but he did not live to complete his design. The first volume, though not first printed, has u large frontispiece, in which the author appears presenting his book to K. Cha. II. and the pope with his mitre falling, &c. with a great number of other figures, which are all explained; and then follows a dedication to his majesty, wherein he gratefully takes notice of his conferring on him, without his solicitation, the office of keeper of the records in the Tower, with an honorary pension, which, as also his majesty's encouragement, and that of some ho nourable lords, engaged him to the Herculean task of these sheets. This volume begins at the first planting of Christianity in this island, and ends with the reign of Rich. I. chiefly consisting of historical and other collections, together with some characters of our kings never published before. The second volume, which has also the large frontispiece, and which was first published, is dedicated to the earl of Clarendon, who was a principal encourager of this valuable work: in it he continues the story and precedents from Rich. I. down to the death of Hen. III. showing, from many records, patents, and historical testimonies, that during this period, our kings claimed and exercised supreme jurisdiction in all ccclesiastical affairs in England and Ireland. Most of the printed copies of these two former volumes were consumed by the fire of London in 1666, not above 70 of them being rescued from the flames, (of the first volume, it is said, only 23 copies were saved) which has rendered them so exceeding scarce, that a complete set has been sold for sixty pounds. The third volume, dedicated to the earl of Anglesey, sir Harbottle Grimstone, sir Mat. Hale, &c. the worshipful readers of Lincoln's-Inn; begins with a long list of records of K. John and Hen. III. which is called an appendix to the second volume; and then follow the like precedents, in the reign of the renowned Edw. I. from all which collections the author shows, that though the pope, English clergy, and Scotch nobility usurped the rights of these three kings, they

P.) account of authorities in law, in which judgment was given in sir Edward Hale's case, 4to. 1681, 1s. 6d.

12. HERBERT's account examined, by W. A. (William Atwood) wherein it is shown that those authorities in law, whereby he would excuse his judgment in sir Edw. Hale's case, are very unfairly cited, and as ill applied, 4to. 1689, 1s. 6d.

13. JOHNSTON's (Nath. M. D.) the king's visitatorial power asserted, being an impartial relation of the late visitation of St. Mary Magdalen college, Oxf. as likewise an historical account of several visitations of the universities and particular colleges; together with some necessary remarks upon the king's authority in ecclesiastical causes, according to the laws and usages of this realm, 4to. 1688, 3s. Written by direction of K. James II.

14. KING EDWARD VI. arguments against the pope's supremacy, 8vo. 1682, 1s. 6d. Cardinal Pole, about 27 Hen. VIII. wrote a book asserting the supremacy of the pope, which was construed an overt act of treason, 3 Coke Inst. 14.

The same author also wrote Subversion of all the Romanists pleas for the pope's supremacy in England, &c. 8vo. 1681, 15. 17. NEWE ADDICIONS, treating most specially of the power of the parlyament concernynge the spirtualitie, and the spiritual jurisdiction, pr. by Berthelet, 12mo. 1531, and the same year by R.

ford. Ded. to the D. of Somerset, by Hen. Ld. Stafford, pr by W. Copland, 12mo. 1548.

The original of this treatise has by some been attributed to K. Hen. VIII. by others to Edward Fox, Bp. of Hereford. See on this subject, Ames, v. i. 354, 362. Several other treatises upon the subject appeared in the same and the subsequent reigns, which being merely theological, and in support of the papal jurisdiction, are here purposely omitted. The 5th Eliz. c. 1, prohibits the publication of books written in defence of the pope's supremacy.

The which being remarkable for impartiality, and the moderation of its language, was pointed out to Sir Thos. More, by his judicious readers, as an example for him to follow in his controversial writings, and which incited him to write his apology, &c. The above is ascribed by Bp. Tanner to St. Germain, author of the dialogue between a doctor and student.
