Lacking binding. This was the work of a formidable committee of Puritan ministers ("the Joynt-Labour of certain Learned Divines"), including John Ley, William Gouge, Meric Casaubon, Francis Taylor, Daniel Featley, and John Reading. The book is sometimes listed under the name of John Downame, 1571-1652, who may have been its editor. Most of these sat in the "Assembly of Divines" at Westminster during the English Civil War and the book is consequently sometimes referred to as "The Assembly's Annotations". The work is of considerable historical and religious importance, not least as background for the theology of John Milton. This is the first edition, there were two later editions, enlarged, The Alexander Turnbull Library has the second edition of 1651.
