Complete and collated. Please see photos. A good copy of this most important Anglican works; the influential theologian Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is arguably the co-founder (with Thomas Cranmer and Matthew Parker) of Anglican theological thought. Hooker was born near Exeter and educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he became a fellow in 1577. In 1584 he married, resigned from his college position, and became rector of a parish, followed by appointments in London, Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire and Kent. The first four books of this work were published in 1594, the fifth in 1597, and the final four posthumously. The present copy, contains all parts of Hooker s treatise within a single volume. The Lawes argued for a middle way ( via media ) between the positions of the Roman Catholics and the Puritans. Hooker argued forcefully that reason and tradition were important when interpreting the Scriptures, and suggested that it was important to recognize that the Bible was written in a particular historical context, in response to specific situations: Words must be taken according to the matter whereof they are uttered (Lawes IV.11.7). The principal subject of this compendious work is the proper governance of the church. The Puritans were at this time advocating the demotion of clergy and ecclesiasticism, and Hooker attempts to establish which methods of organizing churches are best. What was at stake was the position of the sovereign as the head of the church. If doctrine were not to be settled by authorities, then having the monarch as the head of the church was intolerable. On the other side, if the monarch were appointed by God to be the head of the church, then local parishes going their own ways on doctrine was similarly intolerable. Hooker s work owes much to Thomas Aquinas, but his scholastic thought presents a number of innovations. He argues that church organization, like political organization, is one of the things indifferent to God. .

He did not obtain title to the Tractates until 1622, publishing them with a prefatory letter in praise of Hooker, which presents the work as a 'posthume Orphan', and hopes that 'those Three [Books 6-8] promised to perfect his Politie be not buried in the grave with their renowned Father.' The complicated structure laid the ground for what Hill calls 'the bewildering array of mixed copies that succeed the 1618 edition'. Here, we have the sheets of Lawes as printed in 1617, complete with the terminal blank, followed by the Tractates as printed in 1631 the title-page is a singleton, evidently used before new general title-pages were printed in 1632.ESTC records three other examples thus, at Birmingham University, Hereford Cathedral, and Queen's Ontario.Provenance: with the ownership inscription of Oliver Rouse (1708-1781).

A very good copy of this most important Anglican work; the influential theologian Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is arguably the co-founder (with Thomas Cranmer and Matthew Parker) of Anglican theological thought.

(Here the part titles are dated 1636 not 1631 but otherwise identical to STC 13719) The Lawes argued for a middle way ( via media ) between the positions of the Roman Catholics and the Puritans. Hooker argued forcefully that reason and tradition were important when interpreting the Scriptures, and suggested that it was important to recognise that the Bible was written in a particular historical context, in response to specific situations: Words must be taken according to the matter whereof they are uttered (Lawes IV.11.7). The principal subject of this compendious work is the proper governance of the church.

On the other side, if the monarch were appointed by God to be the head of the church, then local parishes going their own ways on doctrine was similarly intolerable. Hooker s work owes much to Thomas Aquinas, but his scholastic thought presents a number of innovations. He argues that church organisation, like political organisation, is one of the things indifferent to God. Minor doctrinal issues are, he states, not issues that damn or save the soul, but rather frameworks surrounding the moral and religious life of the believer. Thus, there are good monarchies and bad ones, good democracies and bad ones, and what matters is the piety of the people. Hooker s emphases on reason, tolerance and inclusiveness considerably influenced the development of Anglicanism, as well as the thinking of John Locke. Locke quotes Hooker numerous times in The Second Treatise of Civil Government. This is the earliest statement of the Original Contract as the basis of government, which had originated in France and was to become a major issue in the political struggles of the seventeenth century. Hooker s theory formed the basis of Locke s Treatise of Civil Government and can thus be considered the first statement of the principles behind the Constitution of England : Printing and the Mind of Man 104 on the first edition; Although copies of the early editions of the present work are relatively straightforward, later copies, from around 1617, are often chimeras, assembled from different printings: see STC p. 597 for discussion.
