EXPOSITION OF THE CREED ; Pearson, John:  London, Printed by Roger Daniel for John Williams at the Sign Of The Crown in St. Paul’s Church-yard, 1659. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover, full leather. Sound solid book. Leathers chipped and spine ends, bumps and rubs at corners, surface scuffs. Outer and Inner hinges firm and not cracked. Armorial bookplate of John Ludford inside cover. Gutters pulling slightly at places, book still tight and clean. 785pp. Title page with woodcut crown vignette, decorated initials and headpiece at first page. John Pearson 1613-86 was an English prelate and scholar. He was a royalist chaplain (1645) in the civil war, but during Cromwell's regime he lived quietly in London. His Exposition of the Creed (1659), based on sermons he delivered at St. Clement's, Eastcheap, reveals Pearson's remarkable knowledge, especially of the Church Fathers; with many notes, it has long been a standard work. After the Restoration, Pearson became master of Jesus College, Cambridge (1660), Margaret professor of divinity (1661), master of Trinity College (1662), and bishop of Chester (1673). " The Exposition of the Creed, on which Pearson's reputation still mainly rests, has long been a standard book in Anglican divinity. It has won the highest praise, not only from Anglican theologians, but from such men as Dr. Johnson, Dean Milman, and Hallam.[DNB]. Reprinted many times. The first editions are very scarce.

Hall, Joseph; Meditations and Vowes, Divine and Moral: Serving for Direction in Christian and Civil Practice. III. Centuries. London, Printed for Thomas Pavier, Miles Flesher, and John Haviland, 1624-1625. By Jos.  Hall, D. Divinitie, and Deane of Worcester. Title page has woodcut of printer's device. Full leather, 11.5in x 8.25in (292mm x 210mm), 1368pp, continuous pagination across all of the works contained within. Boards rubbed and  fraying at corners, chips and wear at spine ends, hinges cracked through but held in place by cords, marbled endpapers. Some pages stained with what looks like a light brown water mark but only affects few blocks of pages and rear endpapers, with clean pages surrounding them, so may be they were affected prior to binding in. Last page may be missing, it appears to end in middle of paragraph, although there is no evidence of any removal and preliminary rear endpaper is bound to last page. Again this may have been how it was bound. This copy also contains more pages (1368) than others of this publication date and which are currently offered on the market. (Some are listed with only 900 pages). This may be due to differing compilations being sold at the time for various buyers. Text block is tight and surprisingly square for such a thick book of this advanced age. Many title pages within book preceding each work contained herein, all with woodcuts of printer’s devices, all dated 1624 or 1625 and some decorated with elaborate woodcuts. In addition many discourses are terminated with a woodcut decoration. Joseph Hall (1574-1656) Bishop of Norwich. With eleven other bishops he was accused of high treason and imprisoned in the tower in Dec., 1641, but was released in June, 1642. "Hall was a man of broad and tolerant sympathies, a moderate Calvinist, and sought for a mean between Calvinism and Arminianism. His Puritanical leanings offended Laud, but, like many other Puritans, he was strongly attached to the Church of England.."--New Schaff-Herzog Ency. Rel Knowl., 5:124.

Rear endpapers appear to have been cut away. Much of what is known about Thomas Brooks has been ascertained from his writings. Brooks entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1625, was licensed as a preacher of the Gospel by 1640. Before that date, he appears to have spent a number of years at sea, probably as a chaplain with the fleet. After the conclusion of the First English Civil War, Thomas Brooks became minister at Thomas Apostle's, London, and was sufficiently renowned to be chosen as preacher before the House of Commons on December 26, 1648. His sermon was afterwards published under the title, 'God's Delight in the Progress of the Upright'. Three or four years afterwards, he transferred to St. Margaret's, Fish-street Hill, London. In 1662, he fell victim to the notorious Act of Uniformity, but he appears to have remained in his parish and to have preached as opportunity arose. Treatises continued to flow from his pen. One of the great theological publications and very, very scarce in the first edition.
