Historical Tracts, Seventeenth century
Scope and Contents
Ff. 10–19 are misplaced between ff. 39 and 40.
1. f. 1. 'An advertisement written to a Secretary of my Lord Treasurers of England by an Englishe Intelligencer as hee passed through Germanie into Italie, concerninge another booke newlie written in Latine and published in divers languages and countries against her Majesties late Proclamation for search and apprehension of Seminarie Preists and theire Receivers.—Also of a lettre written by the Lord Treasurer in defence of his gentrie and nobilitie, intercepted, published, and answered by the Papists.'
2. f. 5. 'The Extract and abbreviation of the booke of John [Andrewe] Philopatris against her Majesties Proclamation.' The book referred to (first printed in 1592) was entitled 'Elizabethæ Angliæ Reginæ hæresim Calvinianam propugnantis sævissimum in Catholicos sui regni edictum' etc. 29 Novembris, 1591; and was attributed to Robert Parsons the Jesuit.
3. f. 26. 'A Declaracion of the true causes of the great troubles presupposed to bee intended against the Realme of England, wherein the indifferent Reader shall manifestly perceave by whom and by what meanes the Realme is brought into pretended perills.—Seene and allowed Anno Domini 1592.' It was attributed to Robert Parsons, and printed in 1592; Watt says in 1581, but this must be an error.
4. f. 66. 'Observations upon a Libell intituled, The declarations of the causes of troubles presupposed to bee against England, 1592.'
