The Memorable Works of a Son of Thunder and Consolation: BURROUGHS (Edward).
A SON OF THUNDER AND CONSOLATION
Namely, That True Prophet, and Faithful Servant of God, and Sufferer for the Testimony of Jesus, Edward Burroughs. Who Dyed a Prisoner for the Word of God, in the City of London, the Fourteenth of the Twelfth Moneth, 1662.
First Edition. Folio. [277 x 188 x 50 mm]. [26]ff, 168, 173-256, 253-896, [8] pp. Early 19th century binding of calf (or sheep), the spine divided into six panels by raised bands, flanked with a gilt fillet, lettered in the second on a dark label, plain endleaves and edges. (Lacking two clasps, rubbed with scuffing to covers).
Printed and Published for the good and benefit of Generations to come, in the Year, 1672.
Wing B.5980. The issue with "Printed and published for the good" in the imprint. A variant has "Published and printed for the good".
Sporadic browning or foxing, occasional minor soiling, closed tear pp.769-70, cut rather closely at the fore-edge. A good copy, which is complete despite the erratic pagination.
There is an ink inscription on the verso of the title: "Joseph Kippin his Booke cost 12s / 2s 6d new binding in all 14s 6d. 1673". This is presumably Joseph Kippin (1615-1680) of Bristol, or possibly his son Joseph (1660-1721). The binding was replaced early in the 19th century, with either a poor piece of calf or sheep masquerading as calf. The endleaves have the ink signatures of Joseph Clark (1762-1831) and his son Cyrus Clark (1801-1866), the latter dated 1840. Cyrus founded Clarks Shoes at Street in Somerset in 1828, and the volume has remained with the family and in the same county ever since.
Edward Burroughs (1633-1663) was born at Underbarrow, near Kendal, and became a Quaker after hearing George Fox speak in 1652. His parents disowned him and "the plaine north country plow men" evangelized in London and around England, Ireland and Scotland. Despite being of "no great learning" he became a prolific writer, directing his thunder at inhabitants of Underbarrow, the ungodly, including John Bunyan, parliaments, the army and Charles II. Having criticized just about everyone in A Trumpet of the Lord (1654) he advised the "elect and chosen" to "tread down the fenced Cities, and enlarge your Dominion". Arrested at a Quaker meeting at the Bull and Mouth in London, he died in Newgate Prison at the age of 29. The Epistle Dedicatory to these collected works was signed by Ellis Hooks and there are testimonies by Francis Howgil, George Whitehead, Josiah Coale and George Fox.
