Allen, William; Kettlewell, John & Bray, Thomas:

Certain select discourses on those most important subjects requisite to be well understood by a Catechist, secondly, discourses on the Covenant of Grace, and three catechetical lectures on faith and justification.

London: S Hawes, 1699 [1703]. This is an unusual book made up of the catechetical writings of three authors - William Allen, John Kettlewell [Kettelwell] and Thomas Bray. It has a title page dated 1699, but each individual discourse has its own title page, usually dated 1703. The book is quarto (12 inches by 8 inches) and bound in full brown calf. The binding is rubbedand the joints are beginning to crack, but the book is intact and the contents are generally good to very good. The contents are as follows: (1) William Allen - Certain select disourses on thos emost important subjects, requisite to be well understood by a Catechist in laying the foundation of Christian Knowledge in the minds of Novitiates, viz, first, discourse on the doctrine of the two covenants both legal and evangical, and on faith and justification. [x], 69pp; [vi], 24pp. (2) John Kettlewell - the practical believer, or the articles of the Apostels creed, drawn out to form a true Christian's heart, and practice. [viii], 112pp, [viii], pp141-192, pp 53-120. (3) Thomas Bray - Catechetical lectures on the preliminary questions and answers of the church-catechism, giving an account of the whole doctrine of the Covenant of Grace, and of the nature, terms and conditions of the same, shewing also by whose meditation it was obtained for us, by what asistance we shall be enabled to perform it, and our obligations thereunto. [xxx], 344pp. The British Library have a copy of Allen's work bound with Kettlewell's work, in which the pagination of Kettlewell is the same as this copy. The British Library copy does not include the work by Thomas Bray. The overall 1699 title page covers Allen and Bray, but makes no mention of the Kettlewell work. Thomas Bray (1656 - 1730) was influential in the creation of the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge and was heavily involved in organising the Church of England in Maryland.

William Bray

Memoirs of John Evelyn Esq with Correspondence

London , Henry Colburn, 1827. Leather. The diaries of the other great British 17th century diarist, and rival to Pepys, John Evelyn. Like Pepys, these diaries illuminate the social life, manners, and politics of the day. They provide a first hand account of the experience of key events in English history, such as the civil war, the great plague, and the Great Fire of London. The diary was an unpublished manuscript until 1818, when Bray first published this work. This is the second edition, and in five volumes is much enlarged from the original two. Appended is the private correspondence between Charles I and Sir Edward Nicholas, and between Sir Edward Hyde and Sir Richard Browne. Having fled abroad during the Civil War, Evelyn nevertheless held a number of important Royal commissions upon his return, and as such held important insight into court and political life in the Restoration. The Encyclopaedia Britannica comments, "His Diary, begun when he was 11 years old.. was written for himself alone but with relatively little about himself in it. It ranges from bald memoranda to elaborate set pieces. With its descriptions of places and events, characters of contemporaries, and many reports of sermons, it bears witness to more than 50 years of English life and, as such, is of great historical value." With a number of plates of illustrations and genealogies, and frontispieces. Collated: complete In diced calf, skillfully rebacked, with gilt borders and titles to the spines. Externally smart with some marking to the boards and light rubbing to the extremities. Internally, volume one is stained and heavily foxed for the first few pages, including the fold out plates. Otherwise, all volumes are somewhat spotted for the first and last few pages as usual. Firmly bound. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
