Rare seventh edition of Maxey’s sermons preached before the king. Originally published in 1605 containing only three sermons, the work was reprinted with additional serimons in 1610, 1614, 1619 and the present 1634-edition containing the following nine sermons: 1, The golden chaine of mans salvation. 2, The fearefull point of hardening. 3, The churches sleepe. 4, The agonie of Christ. 5, The vexation of Saul. 6 The sacrifice of Abraham. 7, Hallelu-jah. 8, A marriage sermon. 9, The wise-men guided by a starre. “Anthony Maxey served as the dean of Windsor and was believed to have hailed from Essex. He received his education at Westminster School and was later admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge, in April 1578. His compelling pulpit oratory and aversion to tobacco caught the attention of James I, who appointed him as his chaplain and later as dean of Windsor and registrar of the Order of the Garter in 1612. Maxey was known for his corrupt practices, as he attempted to gain preferment through bribery, offering money to Sir Henry Hobart and bidding for the vacant see of Norwich before his death in May 1618. He was buried in St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London, having outlived his wife and leaving provisions in his will for his relatives and servants, except for his cook Roger and clerk Robert Berry, whom he accused of misconduct with tobacco and alcohol. His bequest included his books, which he left to be taken by the authorities for the public library, likely referring to the University of Cambridge's library.” (DNB). Allthough reprinted several time copies are scarce in the trade - all editions are rare.

Rare first edition of Griffith’s sermons. William Griffith (1587 – 1673) born at Treflan near Caernarvon, had a notable ecclesiastical career marked by education and controversy. Educated at Christ Church, Oxford and Jesus College, Cambridge he was ordained as a priest in 1607. He served as rector in Foscott, Buckinghamshire and held positions in London, where his anti-Puritan sermons caused conflict. Griffith preached notable funeral sermons, including those of Sir Richard Bulkeley in 1621 and Katherine Lewis in 1644, and participated in the burial of Archbishop John Williams in 1650. He became rector of Trefdraeth (1626), dean of Bangor (1634), and faced allegations of neglecting his wife in 1635. Appointed as the king's chaplain and later Bishop of Ossory, Ireland his tenure was disrupted by the Civil War, leading him to flee Ireland. He resumed his bishopric after the Restoration in 1661, becoming the first to pray publicly for King Charles II in Ireland. (see Dictionary of Welsh Biography)

The rare first edition of Hacket’s posthumously published sermons. John Hacket (1592–1670) was an English churchman and academic. He was born in London and educated at Westminster School and Trinity College, Oxford. He later became the president of Trinity College, Oxford, in 1630 and was appointed Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry in 1661. Hacket was known for his scholarship, particularly in theology, and for his support of the Anglican Church during a period of political and religious upheaval in England. He wrote several works on religious and historical subjects, including a biography of the poet John Donne. Hacket played a significant role in the religious and intellectual life of his time. “In addition to the Latin play of ‘Loyola’ and his great work on the life of Archbishop Williams, a small work entitled ‘Christian Consolations’ (1671, republished 1840) has been incorrectly attributed to Hacket. ‘A Century of Sermons on several remarkable subjects’ was edited, with a memoir, by Thomas Plume in 1675. In company with Ben Jonson he translated Bacon’s ‘Essays’ into Latin. His skill in using the Latin tongue was considerable, and his reading was varied and extensive. His biographer admits that he was of a hasty and choleric temper, but very quickly reconciled to any who had offended him. His quarrel with Dean Wood, who afterwards succeeded him as bishop, and was suspended for simoniacal practices, caused, according to Pepys, considerable scandal, but the bishop enjoyed high estimation in the opinion of all good men. He married Elizabeth, daughter of W. Stebbing of Soham, Suffolk and after her death in 1638, Frances, daughter of Mr. Bennet of Cheshire, and widow of Dr. Bridgman, prebendary of Chester. He had several children. His eldest son, Andrew, was knighted, and was a master in chancery he erected a recumbent effigy to his father’s memory in Lichfield Cathedral. There is an engraving of this tomb and also of a portrait of Hacket in ‘A Century of Sermons.” (apuritansmind).
