12710 ABSTRACT OF CERTAINE ACTES OF PARLEMENT: of certaine her Maiesties INIUNCTIONS of certaine Canons, Constitutions, and Synods Provinciall. for the most part heretofore unknowen and unpractized, small 4to. calf neat, RARE, £3. 38 S. n. (about 1581) Secretly printed, to avoid the penalties which would follow the crime of attacking ill customs in high places. The author's desire was to expound the laws which would have been more efficient, if "better executed by those unto whome our gracious Soverayne hath committed their execution;" and he writes forcibly. The clergy of the time, who legally ought to have been men of worth and learning, are described as " cleane contrary, even the very tailings and garbage of the people, and such as can scarce say B to a battledore." Another statement he makes is "Alasse, our lawes are bels without clappers." An ignorant clergy, and plurality of benefices, form the two ehief objects impugned by the writer, 12711 VIRET. The Cauteles, Canon, and Ceremonies of the most blasphemous, abhominable, and monstrous Popish Masse.

R. Young, 1637-36 With the following curious MS. lines written in a contemporary Scotch hand upon the fly-leaf: : Ane Epitaph compyled by the B. of Canterburrye upon the untymly death of that noble and hopefull gentleman, called the Service Book for the Church of Scotland. Your name from Service fitly was deriv'd; For Deil's, Popes, Prelats Service wer yow made, But by your Service wee ar all depriv'd Of life and honor, and of pompe we hade.

This is the famous Common Prayer of Archbishop Laud by which he and the king hoped to force the English Liturgy upon the Scottish people, the actual result being to embitter the anti-prelatic feelings of the North, and to precipitate the civil war and downfall of Charles I.
