拍場告示
The Meditation upon the Lord's Prayer lacks the colophon leaf.
This lot does contain a contemporary manuscript of "The humble complaint of Geo[rge] Eglisham Doctor of Physicke," addressed to Charles I. This appears to be a transcription of an English version of Eglisham's Prodromus vindictae, first published in 1626, and probably first printed in English in 1642.
