London: Printed by Authority for Michael Sparke Senior, 1641. Hardcover. First part only. A very unique copy, bound in an interesting paper, almost a marbled paper in a wood-grain like pattern in beige and tan and brown. Cover and professionally re-backed spine is entirely plain. Ornamented headpiece engravings occasionally throughout. [30], 337 pp.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: William Prynne (1600-1669), an English lawyer, voluble author, polemicist and political figure, was a prominent Puritan opponent of church policy under William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury (1633-1645). His views were Presbyterian, but he became known in the 1640s as an Erastian, arguing for overall state control of religious matters.

CONDITION: External cover shows some wear. Rebacked spine is beautifully done. Lightly worn corners and foredge. Leaves have toned with discoloration spots and occasional dampstain throughout, yet text is bold and uncompromised. Leaf 221/222 is repaired with a partial facsimile. Antiquarian notations / names are written in dipped ink occasionally throughout, one dated 1706. Some notation and small label on the front pastedown in pencil. A fascinating and wonderful copy.

PLEASE NOTE: This copy will arrive with "signature required" upon delivery. Full refund if not satisfied. Very Good.
