[Collection of political and religious tracts], [ca. 1604].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702177620

Manuscript on paper, in several secretary hands, with titles in Italic, of a variety of political and religious texts, most concerned with the governance of Ireland, the proposed union of England and Wales with Scotland, and the controversy over the retention of most "ceremonies" in the Book of Common Prayer by the Hampton Court Conference (1604). About two-thirds of the volume is devoted to "A Veiwe of the presente state of Ireland discoursed by way of a Dialogue betweene Eudoxus and Irenius." This is a complete text of Edmund Spenser's View of the State of Ireland (1596). The title is preceded by an attribution note: "This booke heere followinge (called A Viewe of the present state of Ireland) was made by Mr. Spencer, in the tyme that Sir William Russell Knight was lord deputie of Irelande Anno Domini."

1 v. (ca. 240 p.) ; 29 x 19 cm.
