an Oxford Incendiary. Printed for Robert White in 1643._ 4to. [Reprinted in the Harleian Miscellany, V. 469. edit. 1744.] xix. _The Reformado precisely charactered (with a frontispiece.)_ [See the Sale Catalogue of George Steevens, Esq. 8vo. Lond. 1800. page 66. No. 1110.] xx. "_A new Anatomie, or Character of a Christian or Round-head. Expressing his Description, Excellencie, Happiness and Innocencie. Wherein may appear how far this blind world is mistaken in their unjust Censures of him. Virtus in Arduis. Proverbs xii. 26; and Jude 10_, quoted.) _Imprimatur John Downame. London, Printed for Robert Leybourne, and are to be sold at the Star, under Peter's Church in Corn-hill, 1645._ 8vo. pp. 13. [In Ashmole's Museum.] xxi. In Lord North's _Forest of Varieties, London, Printed by Richard Cotes_, 1645, are several _Characters_, as lord Orford informs us, "in the manner of sir Thomas Overbury." _Royal and Noble Authors_, iii. 82. Of this volume a second edition appeared in 1659, neither of these, however, I have been able to meet with. For some account of the work, with extracts, see Brydges' _Memoirs of the Peers of England_, 8vo. _London._ 1802. page 343. xxii. _Characters and Elegies[DQ]. By Francis Wortley, Knight and Baronet.

A true character of the illustrious James Duke of York; 5. The character of a noble general; 6. A true English protestant; 7. An antinomian, or anabaptisticall independent; 8. A jesuite; 9. The true character of a northerne lady, as she is wife, mother, and sister; 10. The politique neuter; 11. The citie paragon; 12. A sharking committee-man; 13. Britanicus his pedigree--a fatall prediction of his end; 14. The Phoenix of the Court. _Britanicus his Pedigree--a fatall Prediction of his End._ I dare affirme him a Jew by descent, and of the tribe of Benjamin, lineally descended from the first King of the Jewes, even Saul, or at best he ownes him and his tribe, in most we reade of them.
