 File
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Mm.06.55

Scope and Contents

Prefixed on 3 leaves at the beginning are, An engraved portrait of Usher, 1647; A collection of 'Testimonia' to his fame in Latin, a coat of arms (Or between 2 chev. a trefoil slipped sa.), and 'the Bishop of Armagh's Prayer before Sermon.' This has much in common with Usher's Body of Divinity published by John Downame in 1645 ; the successive portions being dated from 14 Feb. 1640 to 18 Jan. 1651: partly being taken from preached sermons. There are occasional notes of the Archbishop's movements: e. g. f. 229. 'Now Armagh went out of Towne, and came again the 12th of October.' At both ends is written, 'Liber Tho. Baker.'
