MARTEN, Anthony. An Exhortation, to stirre vp the mindes of all her Maiesties faithfull subiects, to defend their countrey in this dangerous time. London: John Windet, 1588.
4o (184 x 133 mm). Collation: A-F4. Title with woodcut device (McKerrow and Ferguson 125B). Woodcut head- and tail-piece and magnificent 14-line woodcut opening initial. (Some pale dampstains.) Crimson morocco gilt, covers with the arms of W.H. Miller enclosed by a double panel of gilt fillets, fleurons at corners of inner panel, gilt-panelled spine directly lettered, edges gilt, by F. Bedford. Provenance: Britwell Court Library (arms on binding, pencil note on flyleaf "6 May 1876 bound by Bedford [£] 2.7.6 cleaning," bibliographical references penned at bottom margin of title), sold Sotheby's, London, 30 March 1971, lot 250, to John F. Fleming -- purchased from Fleming, 22 August 1972.
FINE COPY OF THE SECOND EDITION FROM THE BRITWELL COURT LIBRARY. The pamphlet first appeared under the title A godly prayer for the preseruation of the queens maiestie in the same year, 1588 [STC 17489.5]. It refers in an interesting way to a prevailing social decadence, and the foreign imports this has led to. "But now we all be Heliogabalians. We delight altogether in strange fashions, in strange ornaments, strange stuffe, strange apparrel, strange diet, in things that be farre sette, & daere bought" (D2v). Favorable mention is made of Sir Walter Raleigh 'that of his owne charges builded two such ships the last yeare, as perhaps might haue saued all England in one day' (D4r), and of Sir Francis Drake. Referring to the prowess of "the young English Captains and souldiers," the author asks "How valiantlie did they behaue themselves under fortunate Sir Frances Drake, at S. Domingo, Carthagiena, Cales, and in many other places? Where the English were in numbers so few, and the enemies infinite" (E2v). STC 17489; not in John Carter Brown Library or Sabin.
