235. DRAKES (THOMAS).

Ten Counter Demaunds

1050=

Propounded to those of the Separation, (or English Donatists) to be directly, and distinctly answered. Four leaves, small 4to, red levant morocco, by Bradstreet.

[Probably Leyden, 1618]

A hitherto lost book, known only from the reply to it by William Euring "An Answer to the Ten Counter Demands propounded by T. Drakes, Preacher of the Word at H. and D. in the County of Essex. Printed in the Year 1619." Of this reply, from the Leyden Press, the only copy known is preserved in Dr. Williams' Library, Gordon Square, London.

The Rev. Thomas Drakes (or Drax) was Vicar of Harwich and Dovercourt and died before March 18, 1618. The date of his death shows that the pamphlet described above was probably printed in the early days of 1618.

There is, in the Public Record Office in London, the copy of a document (the original being lost) "Subscribed per John Robinson and William Brewster" and with the heading: "Seven Articles which the Church of Leyden sent to the Council of England to be considered of, in respect of their Judgements: occasioned about their going to Virginia, anno 1618.''

Dr. Arber supposed that this pamphlet by Drakes (which he knew only from Euring's "Answer" and which he had never seen) was in reply to this series of "Seven Articles" but an examination of the book shows that this is not the case, though it does form part of the same discussion.

The last of the Ten Counter Demaundes" lined as printed below gives an unique and important interest to this little tract, as it suggests that the Pilgrim Fathers "remove into Virginia, and make a plantation there, in hope to convert infidels to Christianitie.”’

10. Whether, it were not the separists best course,
to returne to Gods true Church and people, from
which (upon some concealed hard dealing) they
have made an unlawful rent, and therein to confer
with the best learned, and if still their consciences
be somewhat tender, to supplicate for some favor
and liberty, or if they will not take this course,
whether it were not good for them, for the
avoiding of scandall, and in expectance of
some prosperous successe, by the per-
mission of our noble King, and hon-
ourable Counsell: to remove into

Virginia, and make a planta

tion there, in hope to con-
vert infidels to Christi-

anitie?

RARE EARLY ENGLISH VOYAGES, 1577.

245. EDEN (RICHARD). The History of Trauayle in the West and East Indies, and other Countreys lying eyther way, towardes the fruitfull and ryche Moluccas. As Moscouia, Persia, Arabia, Syria, Egypte, Ethiopia, Guinea, China in Cathayo and Giapan: With a discourse of the Northwest passage. Gathered in parte, and done into Englishe by Richard Eden. Newly set in order, augmented, and finished by Richard Willes. PRINTED IN BLACK LETTER. Small 4to, light brown crushed levant, full-tooled back, inside borders, gilt edges, by Bedford. Imprinted at London by Richard Jugge, 1577.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORKS IN ENGLISH GEOGRAPHICAL LITERATURE. In its first issue of 1555 it had come into the world as the first English Collection of Voyages. In 1577 it was re-edited by Willes with the following additions:

Four Decade of Peter Martyr.

Instructions by Willes for Frobisher, then starting on his voyage for the discovery of the Northwest Passage, addressed to the Countess of Warwick, by whom Frobisher was employed. 7 leaves.

Reports on China and Japan [chiefly drawn from the Jesuit Letters]. 24 leaves. Accounts of Persia [chiefly from information supplied by English merchants in 1561-68]. 16 leaves.

Vartema's Navigation and Voyages translated by Eden in 1576, 68 leaves.

A briefe Rehearsal of the contents of Peter Martyr's Decades. 1-3. 12 leaves.

Abridgment by Willes of the Decades V-VIII.

Otherwise the contents of the work agree with those of the 1555 edition, save that some extracts from Corsali, Cadamasto, and Biringuccio were omitted as well as a translation of Vespucci's Latin letter.

Thus the volume comprises: Peter Martyr, Decades 1-4; Oviedo's Sumario; Notable Things (from Gomara; the Instructions and Reports mentioned above; Of the North East Frostie Seas, with Edward VI's letter; Two English Voyages to Guinea; Accounts of Persia, and Vartema's Travels, as mentioned above; Prices and weights and measures in the east; Magellan's Voyage; Strife for the Moluccas, out of Gomara; the Papal Bull of 1493; Conquest of Mexico from the Decades V-VIII, mentioned above. Besides these, there are a preliminay Epistle and a Preface by Willes, as well as Certayne Preambles by Eden which have considerable interest.

This copy has the Dedication from Richard Willes to Lady Brigit, Comtesse of Bedford, which is nearly always missing. The arrangement of this volume was mostly by Eden, who died about 1576-7. "It contains all the reference to Cabot in the 1555 edition, and a paper on Frobisher's first voyage with some speculation added to those of H. Gilbert, as to the Northwest Passage& mentions a map made by Cabot (folios 232-233)."— Winsor.

A VERY FINE TALL COPY.
