Henry, Matthew A Method for Prayer with Scripture-Expressions. Printed for Daniel Jackson in the Poultry, and Sarah Cliff in Cheapside, near Mercers-Chapel, 1715. 8vo, full early calf; eng. port. frontis; provenance: John Hunter, 1789 (his owner's inscription upper pastedown). Henry was a major nonconformist minister and was particularly noted for his Biblical exegesis. His ministry, and especially this work, still remains important to the churches descended from the nonconformist movement. Bull, Digby Collected pamphlets. Printed for the author; And are to be Sold by J. Whitlock, near Stationer's Hall, 1695. 4to, ?contemporary calf; provenance: Thomas Verney 1737 (his owner's inscription in ink on ffep). A series of anti-Catholic pamphlets comprising ''The Watch-man's Voice'', ''A Letter of a Protestant Clergyman'', ''The Contrariety of Popery to the Blessed Word of God'', ''The Church's Request To all her Faithful Sons and Children'', and ''An Exhortation to Trust in God''. The title page of the Letter has been corrected in mss from 1695 to 1710 and recorded as ''being his first letter of warning''. The text has also been altered at pp. 18+19 by sticking over replacement paragraphs, possibly from a later version of the text. It appears the relevant paragraphs were a prophecy of the coming of the Church of Rome and the ''Dreadful Judgement of God'' which would follow its replacement of the Protestant church. Perhaps the dates given in the 1695 version of this text (which this appears to have been) had been passed by 1710, after which these new versions were added. It is possible to read beneath the new additions that Popery ''may come in within a twelve-month''. The new dates have Popish power prevailing in England from 5th November 1717, with the ''Dreadful Wo'' being executed in 1721. If the additions were for this reason it would seem, as with many a prophet, the failure of the predicted end to manifest merely led to a revision rather than an abandonment of the belief.
