‎Rare second folio-edition of Boys’s collected works first published in 1622 – allegedly being the earliest theological book to contain a section in Thanksgiving for the failure of the Gunpowder Plot"" pp. 779-90 (Maggs, 1943). This present second edition was the basis for the 1854 photolithographed reprint. “Boys himself compiled a one-volume edition of his works in 1622, which included his systematic sermonic exposition of the church’s prescribed lectionary—a ten year project. It also included five miscellaneous sermons, and eleven books of postils first published between 1609-1617. The postils were so popular that they were reissued at least a dozen times in the first decade. The SDG reprint is photolithographed from an 1854 edition published in New York by Stanford and Swords, which is based on a 1629 London edition. It contains Boys’s exposition of Scripture passages used in the services of Morning and Evening Prayer and Holy Communion in The Book of Common Prayer, as well as his writings on the Psalms, expositions on the epistles and gospels, and comments on the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments. Spurgeon said Boys was “one of the richest of writers,” being “all essence.” Indeed, Boys’s writing is lively, witty, clear, and profound. He made complex doctrine plain and practical.” (Beeke & Pedersen, Meet the Puritans) John Boys (1571–1625) was an English churchman and theologian who served as the Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. He was a prominent figure in the Church of England during the early 17th century. Boys is best known for his extensive writings on theology and biblical commentary, particularly his work ""An Exposition of the Dominical Epistles and Gospels Used in Our English Liturgie"" (1622). This work provided detailed explanations and interpretations of the biblical passages used in the Anglican liturgy, aimed at assisting clergy and laypeople in understanding and applying these texts to their lives. Boys was highly regarded for his scholarship and theological insights, and his works were widely read and influential within the Church of England during his lifetime and beyond. His works were translated into German in 1683, and again in two volumes in 1685. It was reprinted in English in 1997 taken from 1854-edition published by Stanford and Swords, New York.‎

‎Exceedingly rare first edition, posthumously published, of Clerke’s sermons. Richard Clerke embarked on his academic journey when he was elected as a fellow at Christ's College in 1583, a role he held for fifteen years. Despite the college's puritan leaning, Richard was a prominent figure among the conformists. This ideological divide led to tensions, prompting Richard Clerke to lodge complaints of bias with Lord Burghley, who served as the university chancellor. This discord eventually escalated, resulting in physical altercations, with Richard being accused of striking George Downame, a Puritan fellow and future bishop. Edmund Barwell, the college master, ultimately found merit in the accusation. However, before any punitive measures could be taken against Clerke, he appealed the matter to the vice-chancellor. The historical records do not provide further details on the outcome of this appeal. By November of 1590, Barwell and the quarreling fellows managed to reconcile. In a sign of reconciliation, Richard Clerke, George Downame, and others signed an agreement stating: ""We, the undersigned, forgive and forget all past injuries and pledge to treat each other with Christian goodwill in our words and actions moving forward."" In 1596, Richard Clerke received a significant honor by being chosen as the Lady Margaret Preacher at the university. The following year, he took on the role of vicar in Minster, located on the Island of Thanet. Later, he assumed the positions of rector in Snargate, Kent (1609), and vicar of Monkton with Birchington, Kent, holding these positions concurrently for the remainder of his life. In 1602, he was appointed as the Six-Preacher at Canterbury Cathedral, a role that brought him to the attention of the king and his fellow clerics. (See kingjamesbibletranslators.org).‎
