Taylor (John) A Three-fold Discourse betweene three Neighbours, Algate, Bishopsgate, and John Heyden the late Cobler of Hounsditch, a professed Brownist..., first edition, 8pp., woodcut illustration on title, water-stained, fore-edge trimmed affecting some text, modern boards, [Wing T517], 4to, Printed for F. Cowles, T. Bates, and T. Wright, 1642.
⁂ Rare work by John Taylor (1580-1653) the self-proclaimed "Water-Poet". At the outbreak of the Civil War Taylor retired to Oxford (where he had sought safety during the plague in 1625), kept a public house and served the Royalist cause by writing lampoons against the Parliamentarians. This work is against the 'Brownists' - a group of Puritans. ESTC records 9 copies, 4 in the British Isles and 5 in N. America (3 of which are at Yale). The last copy we can trace at auction was in 1939.
