'The English Appropriator or Sacrilege condemned...'
'The English Appropriator or Sacrilege condemned, by ... Bishops, by ... Divines, and by ... Lawyers of the church of England. Collected by John Blaxton, Priest [the last four words deleted].' The address 'to the Reader' and the preface, the first three leaves of which have been cut out, are signed by the author: the book is largely about tithes. The composition must be after 1634, since the author's book on Usury is referred to.
