Minimal very light marks, blemishes or reading wear else a particularly clean and attractive copy, presented in an attractive, restored contemporary binding. William Sclater [1575-1626]. The second son of Anthony Sclater, who is said to have held the benefice of Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire for fifty years, and to have died in 1620, aged 100. William Sclater was born at Leighton in October 1575. A king's scholar at Eton College, he was admitted scholar of King's College, Cambridge, on 24 August 1593, and three years later was admitted fellow of his college. He graduated M. A., and was admitted to priest's orders in 1599, shortly after which he left Cambridge and served a curacy at Walsall. The sermons he preached there on Romans (i-iii.) were printed in London in 1611, and passed to a second edition; they had a strong Puritan bias. On 4 September 1604 he was preferred to the rectory of Pitminster, Somerset; after some resistance, he accepted the ceremonies and the surplice which he had rejected in his former diocese. His piety secured him the patronage of Lady Elizabeth Poulett and her husband, John Poulett, 1st Baron Poulett, who in September 1619 preferred him to the living of Limpsham in Somerset; but Sclater suffered from bad health and returned to Pitminster, where he died in 1626. Bound in full contemporary calf. Neatly re-backed with the original leather overlaid to the spine. With some neat corner leather repairs. A solid and handsome period binding.

Educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, Sclater served as rector of Pitminster in Somerset, prebendary of Bath and Wells, and chaplain to Bishop Arthur Lake and to Lord Stanhope of Harrington. 'A staunch Calvinist, Sclaterregarded the innovations of avant-garde conformists with horror. The refusal of some divines to identify the pope as Antichrist, together withJames I'spolicy of moderation towards Romanists, caused him to wonder what had become of "that ancient severity and strict hand over papists"' (ODNB). His 'best-selling Expositions on 1 and 2 Thessalonians (1619, 1627) merited five more editions by 1638' (ibid.). The indenture fragments visible in the hinges of the binding refer to a gift by 'Roberte Doket' for 'too scolers' at 'Cambrigge'. This must be Robert Duckett (d.1522), rector of Chevening in Kent, who founded two scholarships at St John's College; he was from Holderness and 'holdernes' is mentioned herein. The notes to the rear endpaper by one 'George Thornborrow', dated 1703, list the Biblical passages preached upon by numerous ministers e.g.'Mr Flemings subiect Mathew the 9 C verse 21; Mr Swinton subiect Hebrews C the 4the latter part of the 13 verse '. He also records that 'Mr Nellson [was] elected minister' and that 'Mr Kenion died the 11th day of February in the year of our Lord 1703'. Thornborrow does not appear to have been a student at Oxford or Cambridge, nor is he on the Clergy of the Church of England database. ESTC S116807 and S116803.
