Abstract

Chiefly selections from the Psalms. The prayers are reprinted from Madan II, 1450. The imprint date is a misprint for 1643. Madan considers this a possible London piracy of a lost Oxford original, but certainly not Oxford printing. Identified as STC 17829aa on UMI microfilm reel 1354. Reproductions of the originals in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery and the British Library (Thomason Tracts). Appears at reel 1354 and at reel 1973 (same copy filmed twice). Annotation on Thomason copy: "Octo: 9th".
