(some foxing & browning, light dampstaining to some leaves). London: Printed by M. F. for John Clarke, 1634. First Edition. Jackson was president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford from 1630 to 1640. He was a syncretic Platonist and a strong opponent of the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation and the views of John Calvin, particularly the doctrine of predestination. His chief work, Commentaries on the Apostles' Creed, was designed to fill twelve books, nine of which were published in separate volumes during his lifetime. "[Jackson's] theological works rank high. His views were at first decidedly puritanical, but they changed under the influence of Neile and Laud, and he ultimately incurred the wrath of the Presbyterians, and especially of Prynne, who attacked him in Anti-Arminianism and Canterburie's DoomSouthey described him as 'the most valuable of our English divines,' and insisted on the soundness of his philosophy and the strength of his faithHis theology powerfully commended itself to modern high church divines, as recent reprints abundantly prove. Pusey asserted that his was 'one of the best and greatest minds our church has nurtured.'" (DNB) STC 14317 14313.…
