A Tract supporting the Bishop of Chalcedon's letter. English, 1629

'A Survey of the Answer to the Bishop of Chalcedon his letter to the Laie Catholicks of England, Sent unto him by the heads of three Regular Orders in England'. The date appears on the title page. A lengthy refutation of the arguments advanced by the Superior of the Jesuits and by the heads of the Benedictine and Dominican Orders challenging the authority of Richard Smith (1566-1655), Bishop of Chalcedon.

John Mundey [Munday], Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, sequestered rector of Little Wilbraham, Cambs (d. 1653): 'Sabbatum Redevivum. or, Defence of the Lord's Day'. Prefatory dedication to Charles I. A lengthy defence of the fourth Commandment, in fairly moderate terms. Restrained, seemly exercise is sanctioned. The treatise was written early in the king's reign, soon after the reissuing of the Book of Sports [1633].

Notes on the variety of English and Latin translations of the first two Gospels, arranged chapter by chapter, and verse by verse.

These notes include several references to the Rhemish Testament. St Matthew begins at p. 1, St Mark at p. 145.
