[AUSTIN (John)]. [DORRINGTON (Theophilus)]:
Reform'd Devotions, in Meditations, Hymns, and Petitions, For Every Day in the Week, and Every Holiday in the Year. Divided into Two Parts. The Third Edition, Review'd.
London, Printed by H. Clark for Richard Cumberland, at the Angel..., 1693. 12mo, 151 x 89 mms., pp.[xxii], 350, contemporary gilt-panelled sheepskin, spine gilt in compartments; short tear in fore -margin of f3 not reaching text, text a bit fingered, slight overall wear to extremities, but a good copy, with contemporary inscriptions, what looks like "Abuardalora" on the recto of the front free end-paper and "Margarett [ Poews]" on the recto of the next leaf, as well as a note signed and dated "A.S. 18.8.[19]76," abut John Austin and Theophilis Dorrington. Dorrington (1654–1715) went to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, but left without taking a degree, and, as ODNB puts it, "to preach among the presbyertians." Archbishop John Tillotson arranged for him to take up the rectory of Wittersham, Kent, where he spent the rest of his life. John Austin wrote under the pseudonym William Birchley] (1613–1669) and converted to Catholicism in the 1630. "John Austin's importance as a writer is threefold: he played a major part in the contemporary controversies about toleration for Roman Catholics; he produced one of the most influential seventeenth-century books of private devotion; and he wrote a number of hymns that found their way into prayer books of many different denominations" (ODNB). ESTC lists 21 items with this title, 16 attributed to William Birchley and five to Dorrington. This is ESTC R200497, with a different pagination and a note, "A reformation of John Austin's [i.e. William Birchley] Devotions in the ancient way of offices, 1668 (Wing A4248A). Anonymous. By Theophilus Dorrington." Copies in Cambridge, Ely Cathedral, National Library of Wales, Christ Church, Oxford; Colonial Williamsburgy and Huntington in the United States.

[BAKER (Thomas)]:
Reflections upon Learning; Wherein is shewn the Insufficiency Thereof, in its several Particulars: In order to evince the Usefulness and Necessity of Revelation. The Sixth Edition. By a Gentleman.
London: Printed for James and John Knapton...and Richard Wilkin..., 1727 8vo, pp. [xvi], 288, contemporary calf, rebacked, spine blocked in blind. A contemporary hand identifies Baker as the author on the title-page. Baker's very popular work gave succour and comfort to those who found the new discoveries and innovations in science and philosophy, mostly notable those of Locke and Newton, likely to displace the role of faith in religion. Baker essentially argues that empirical reasoning and knowledge can never produce the certainty found in revelation.

[BOILEAU (Jacques)]:
De Re Beneficiaria Liber Singularis sive Quæstionis celebris et difficilis, an & quibus in casibus liceat homini Christiano absque culpâ & peccato plura Beneficia ecclesiastica possidere, anakrisis. Curâ & studioTheologi Parisiensis abbatis Sidichembechensis.
No place No publisher 1710. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 12mo, 159 x 92 mms., pp. [2] 3 - 296 [297 - 308 Index, 309 - 310 Errata], contemporary sheepskin, spine richly gilt in compartments, red leather label; top and base of spine slightly chipped, upper front joint slightly cracked, corners worn, but good copy with a not quite decipherable presentation inscription on the title-page. The poet and priest Jacques Boileau (1635 - 1716) addresses the question of church benefices and canon law, both topics genuine show stoppers no doubt in the early 18th century. He seems to have had something of a reputation as an eccentric and dangerously curious writer, with Voltaire commenting that he was an "esprit bizarre qui a fait des livres bizarres écrits dans un latin extraordinaire...." He was also the author of the rather popular book on flagellation, Histoires des Flagellants (1701), which is probably more to the taste of our wanton and profane age.

BOWMAN (Thomas):
The Principles of Christianity, As taught in Scriptures; Being Seven Discourses on Our Lost State in Adam. Our Recovery by Jesus Christ, And the Necessity of Regeneration and Sanctification by the Holy Ghost. To which is prefixed, A Letter to a Clergyman.
Norwich: Printed by John Crouse; And sold by him; also by W. Eaton, at Yarmouth..., 1764. FIRST EDITION. Small 8vo (in 4s), pp. [ii], x, 76, stitched as issued, original wrappers; perimeters frayed, spine defective. Bowman is described on the title-page as "Vicar of Martham, Norfolk," but his theological sentiments are not strictly Anglican. In the "Letter to a Clergyman," he defends himself from what seems to be a charge of sympathy with Methodists: "I am so far from agreeing with the Methodists, (as you have rashly declared) that the peculiar Doctrines I detest and abhor; being fully sensible they are delusive and dangerous." The work was also published in London in the same year, but apparently a few weeks later. ESTC T66246 locates only two copies of this printing: the British Library and Cambridge University Library. It was reprinted in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1769, and in London in 1790.

BUTTERWORTH (Lawrence):
The Super-excellency of the Christian Religion displayed: or, a Treatise on Natural and Revealed Religion. Intend To explain the Nature of Both, and shew their essential Differences. To which is added, An Answer to the Rev. Mr. Lindsey's popular Argument against the Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ
London: Printed for the Author: And Sold by G. Keith; G. Robinson; and T. Luckman, in Coventry, 1781. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 12mo (in 6s), pp. xii, 150 [151 author's note, 152], contemporary tree calf, gilt spine; lacks label, front joint slightly cracked (but firm). A very good copy. Butterworth's sentiments on free speech are impeccable: "Every man, in this free country, is at full liberty to propose his sentiments to the public, and to defend those sentiments by the best arguments he is able to produce." His argument in favour of revealed religion is that it gives poor, miserable sinners the prospect of a "higher state of perfection" than that enjoyed by Adam and Eve. ESTC T208483 locates copies in BL, Birmingham, Congregational Library, York Minster Library, Oxford Regent's Park College (3 copies); Graduate Theological Union, Southern Methodist University, Yale. OCLC adds Albion, Brown, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
