Bound with numerous blanks into 19th century full tan calf, panelled in gilt, gilt turn-ins, functionally rebacked retaining earlier morocco label; leather on outer margin of front board sl. wormed at edges, a few marks. Booklabels of Jacob Broun Craven & Walter T. Shirl…ey on leading f.e.p. Note on leading f.e.p. verso, 'James's copy sold for £4/4/-', ink signature of James J. Bell below. William Laud, 1573-1645, was a relatively minor figure in the English Church until Charles I ascended the throne in 1625, at which time he quickly rose through the ranks. In 1626 he was appointed Bishop of Bath and Wells and later that year also became Dean of the Chapel Royal; just two years later in 1628 he was made Bishop of London, and in 1633, Archbishop of Canterbury. Laud was one of king Charles's most trusted advisors during the period of so called personal-rule between 1629 and 1640, and he made a great many enemies with his uncompromising views on the superiority of episcopalianism. Shortly after becoming Archbishop of Canterbury, Laud instated his own followers as the censors, ensuring he had some control over what was being printed and distributed. His punishment for those who had published what he considered unacceptable works was to crop the perpetrators' ears and brand their faces 'SL' for Seditious Libeller'. The earliest days of the Long Parliament saw Laud accused of treason, and in 1641 the Grand Remonstrance called for his imprisonment in the Tower. This work, in verse, outlines many grievances and taunts him for his downfall. 'Men hope to see you mounted ere you die,/ I am sorry for't my Lord, but cannot cry./ Sure your well-wishers hymmes of praise will sing,/ To see you goe to Heaven in a string;/ Or if not so, the common people sweare,/ You'll grace the Block as well as your compere:/ Others suppose that a Clothworkers son,/ Shall never have such an honour to him done:/ Thus all men censure, none cares what they say,/ Pusse being cag'd, the Mice may freely play.' Laud remained in the Tower of London for the next four years, and given his age most members of Parliament did not want to see him executed and hoped he would die of natural causes while in prison - he was 68 in 1641. However, in the spring of 1644 he was brought to trial, and though they could not reach a guilty verdict, Parliament passed a bill of attainder and he was executed in January 1645 despite being granted a royal pardon. The author of this work may have been disappointed that Laud was given the 'honour' of beheading rather than being hanged, drawn, and quartered.
