Effigies R. P. Lanceloti Andrewes Episcopi Wintoniensis. See heer a Shadow from that setting Sunne,/ Whose glorious course through this Horizon runn/ Left the dimm face of our dull Hemisphere,/ All one great Eye all drown'd in one great Teare./ Whose rare industrious Soule led his free thought/ Through Learning's Universe, and (vainly) soughy/ Room for her spacious Self; untill at length/ She found y.e way home: with an holy strength/ Snatch't herself hence to Heav'n; fill'd a bright place/ 'Midst those immortal Fires, and on the face/ Of her Great Maker, fixt a flaming eye,/ Where still she reads true, pure Divinitie./ And now y.t grave Aspect hath deign'd to shrink/ Into this lesse appearance. If you think/ 'Tis but a dead face, Art doth heer bequeath/ Look at the following leaves & see him breath.

![[Edward Coke.]](jpegs/40468.jpg)
[Edward Coke.] Prudens qui Patiens Anno 1670.
[After John Payne.]
Engraving, platemark 190 x 135mm (7½ x 5¼"), very large margins. Unidentified collector's stamp lower margin. Uncleaned title area.
Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634), lawyer, legal writer and politician, best known for his 'Commentarie upon Littleton', a gloss on Thomas Littleton's 'Tenures'. The significance of Coke's works on common law has been compared to that of Shakespeare's on literature and the King James Bible on religion. Allen D. Boyer (DNB) writes that 'the nineteenth century honoured Coke as an exponent of personal liberty and representative government. The twentieth century honoured him as the prototype of the activist judge- able to draw broadly on social and economic knowledge, and not afraid to strike down laws'. Copy of John Payne's 1628 portrait frontispiece to Coke's 'Institutes', used in a 1670 edition of the work.

[The Soveraigne of the Seas builte in the Yeare 1637.]
Thomas Jenner [scratched in plate] [after John Payne].
Thomas Jenner feicet 1653
Rare etching, 17th century watermark. Sheet 205 x 245mm (8 x 9¾"). Trimmed into image on three sides, losing title at top.
Extremely scare & wonderful image, a survivor of the 17th century. A portait of 'The Sovereign of the Seas', one of the biggest warships of the Stuart navy, ordered by Charles I as part of the arms race with the Dutch and paid for with the notorious 'Ship Money' tax that made Charles so unpopular. This is a reduced copy of a two-sheet engraving by John Payne, published as a propaganda piece c.1638, with added key letters (key not present). Built by Peter Pett and launched in 1637, the 'Sovereign of the Seas' had 102 guns as specified by Royal command, but soon after she entered service the number was cut to make her faster and safer. The diarist John Evelyn described her as 'a monstrous vessel ... being for burthen, defense and ornament the richest that ever spread cloth before the wind'. During the Commonwealth she was renamed, first 'Commonwealth' then 'Sovereign', before being made the 'Royal Sovereign' on the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. She survived the three Anglo-Dutch Wars and the Nine Years' War with the French only to burn while laid up at Chatham in 1697.
BM 1881,0611.274, also trimmed and damaged; see 1854,0614.252 for Payne's original. Not in Hind.

Engraving. 190 x 135mm (7½ x 5¼"). Trimmed within plate at sides.
Portrait of Elizabeth Stanley (1588-1633), Countess of Huntingdon. As the great-great-granddaughter of Mary Tudor, Henry VII's sister, she was considered third in line to Elizabeth I's throne (behind her two older sisters).

This plate is a copy of the frontispiece portrait to her funeral sermon, 'A sermon preached at Ashby-de-la-zouch' by ''F.J.'' (1635).
