Item description from seller

Quarto [7.50’’ tall x 6.00’’ wide x 2.50’’ thick]. Collates complete [8], 351, [1], 383-598; [8], 307, [1]p. Engraved title page and with a further printed title page to the second epistle, also dated 1627 but printed by George Miller, for George Vincent. A very good, solid and clean copy. 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.
