Item description from seller

London, Samuel Simmons, 1676. Large folio (420 x 290 mm). In contemporary full calf with six raised bands. Binding defective, upper half of spine with loss of leather, leather cracked and leather of boards partly detached, with loss. Hinges weak, inner hinges split. First leaves with dampstain, but generally internally nice and clean. 5 ff., 2285 columns, 14 ff. + 1 portrait. Rare second edition of volume one of two, each issued separately (vol. 2 being published the year after), of Caryl monumental commentary on the book of Job. All editions are rare. ?Caryl on Job will not exhaust the patience of a student who loves every letter of the Word.? ?Caryl must have inherited the patience of Job to have completed his stupendous task. It would be a mistake to suppose that he is at all prolix or redundant" he is only full. In the course of his expounding he has illustrated a very large portion of the whole Bible with great clearness and power. He is deeply devotional and spiritual. He gives us much, but none too much. His work can scarcely be superseded or surpassed.? (Spurgeon). ?CARYL, JOSEPH (1602?1673), English Nonconformist divine, was born in London in 1602. He graduated at Exeter College, Oxford, and became preacher at Lincoln?s Inn. He frequently preached before the Long Parliament, and was a member of the Westminster Assembly in 1643. By order of the parliament he attended Charles I. in Holmby House, and in 1650 he was sent with John Owen to accompany Cromwell to Scotland. In 1662 he was ejected from his church of St Magnus near London Bridge, but continued to minister to an Independent congregation in London till his death in March 1673, when John Owen succeeded him. His piety and learning are displayed in his ponderous commentary on Job.? (Encyclopedia Britannica).
