Thomas Doolittle (1630-1707) was a nonconformist clergyman. Doolittle learnt his preaching methods from Richard Baxter, who later encouraged him to enter the ministry, leaving his occupation as assistant to a county lawyer. In 1653 Doolittle received Presbyterian ordination but committed himself to a Church of England congregation where he served until he was eventually ejected for nonconformity in 1662. He was however eminently successful at that ministry.

Andreas Luppius Edit. [n.d., c.1690.]
Rare engraving. 150 x 100mm (6 x 4"). Trimmed within plate.
Quirinus Kuhlmann (1651-89), German Baroque poet and mystic. His poetry was initially successful, but his political and religious views were too extreme. He believed that Protestant Europe should join with the Ottomans to destroy Catholic Europe, the House of Habsburg, and the Pope, thus establishing the ''Kingdom of Jesus''. In 1689 he travelled to Moscow to convince Tsar Ivan V to join this alliance; while living in the city he was denounced by the chief pastor of Moscow Lutherans as theologically and politically dangerous, arrested, tortured, and burned at the stake for heresy.

G. Kneller pinxit. R. White sculpsit.
Sold by Walter Davis in Amen Corner.
Rare engraving. Sheet 380 x 270mm (15 x 10½"). Trimmed within plate. Crease.
Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704), a Royalist pamphleteer, best known for 'An Account of the Growth of Knavery', which ruthlessly attacked the parliamentary opposition, placing them as "dissenting fanatics". During the Civil War he was sentenced to death as a spy, but after four years' imprisonment in Newgate he escaped to Holland. Pardoned by Cromwell in 1653 he returned to England, and, after a few years of living quietly, he started printed pamphlets calling for the return of Charles II. After the Restoration he turned from poacher to gamekeeper: as 'Surveyor of the Imprimery' he was tasked with the prevention of the publication of dissenting writings, with the right to search the premises of printers and booksellers on the mere suspicion. In the 1660s he returned to journalism; he wrote questioning the truthfulness of Titus Oates during the Popish Plot of 1678; and in 1681 he started the 'Observator', a paper written in the form of a dialogue between a Whig and a Tory (biased to Toryism), which lasted six years. Knighted by James II in 1685, he served as MP for Winchester 1685-89); however he lost all his offices with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and, having been arrested for suspected plots, turned to more academic writing, including acclaimed translations of Æsop's Fables and the works of Flavius Josephus.

Everard Maynwaring, (c.1627-c.1699), a doctor at the forefront of 'Chemical Medicine'. In 1665 Maynwaring was one of the proponents of the 'Society of Chymical Physicians', which was meant to challenge the authority of the College of Physicians. His techniques seem to have been successful: also in 1665 he was entrusted with the care of the pest-house of the society for employing the poor in Middlesex and he claimed that out of the eighty patients in his care, fifty-six recovered. Among his books were 'The ancient and modem Practice of Physic', 'A Treatise on the Preservation of Health and Long Life', 'The' Complete Physician', 'History of the Venereal Lues', 'The Pharmacopian Physician'a Repository', 'A Treatise of Consuptions' and another on the Scurvy. After the Restoration King James's 'Counterblast to Tobacco" was reprinted: to which is subjoined 'A learned Discourse written by Dr. Everard Maynwaring, proving that Tobacco is a procuring Cause of the Scurvy'; also his 'Serious Cautions against excessive Drinking, with several Examples of God's severe Judgments upon Notorious Drunkards, who have died suddenly', &c.'. It is likely that this a frontispiece portrait for one of his works.

Engraving, printed on both sides. 235 x 157mm. 9¼ x 6¼". Trimmed, crease, damaged.
Curiousity. Portrait of Titus Oates, half length in an oval frame on a pedestal, wearing wig, bands, and robe. From a broadside entitled 'A poem upon Mt Tytus Oates, the first discoverer of the late Popish Plot', published by Henry Brome and Richard Chiswell (1679). Titus Oates (1649-1705) was an English perjurer who fabricated the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill King Charles II. He began his career as an Anglican priest, but converted to Catholicism in 1677. This secured his admission to Jesuit college at St Omer, and this gave him enough information to give his story about a Catholic plot to murder Charles some plausibility. Oates swore his testimony to Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey in September 1678, and it was Godfrey's murder a few weeks later (a death that has never been explained) that overnight turned the plot in the public mind from allegation to certainty. Oates managed to retain a central role in the unfolding affair by continually inventing new accusations. In 1684, in the flood of the Tory reaction, he was prosecuted for perjury, and in 1685 sentenced to the pillory and public flogging. The Glorious Revolution saved him; he was pardoned, given a pension and married a wealthy widow.
