(about 1550-52) An aspiration for the long life of Edward VI, which forms part of the text of the last leaf, fixes the probable date of this book which may be said to be unknown, for notwithstanding that it is recorded in Lowndes, without any remark, no one else mentions it, and the author himself is wrapped in equal obscurity. "John Ramsey, minister," wrote a "comfortable communication" at a somewhat later date and may have been identical with the above author. 17197 Roy, Rede me and be not wrothe, 12mo. facsimile reprint, bds. 12s 1845 17198 TYNDALE (William) TNE PARABLE OF THE WYCKED MAMMON taken out of the xvi.

Scot, 1555 Patrick Cockburn was a Professor at St. Andrew's, while John Knox was there, but remained loyal to the old faith; although indeed there is hardly anything in this little volume, beyond a few ambiguous references to recent events in the dedication to the Queen Regent (Marie de Guise), and the fact of such dedication, to show to which side he belonged. He must have fled to France not long after the publication of the Pia Meditatio, as he died in Paris in 1559, having previously held a professorship of Oriental languages at the University there. So far as can be ascertained, this was the second book printed at St. Andrew's, Archbishop Hamilton's Catechism having preceded it in 1552. So little has hitherto been known of that press that only twenty years ago Robert Chambers (Dom. Annals), in taking a general review of the affairs of Scotland in 1558, states that the country possessed then "a printing-press in the head town, Edinburgh, but not another anywhere." 17201 FORBES (Patrick) an learned Commentarie upon the Revelation of Saint John.. wherevnto is added an profitable Treatise of the Author, in defence of the lawfull calling of the Ministers of reformed Churches, sm. 4to. limp vellum, £3. 10s Middelburgh, 1614 Patrick Forbes, of Cotharis (or Corse) was afterwards Bishop of Aberdeen. 17202 HAMMILTONII (Archibaldi) Calvinianæ Confusionis demonstratio, contra maledicam ministrorum Scotia responsionem, sm. 8vo. title mended, otherwise a fine copy in blue morocco extra, gilt edges, £5.
