Downame, John (Possibly

Annotations Upon all the Books of the

John Legatt and John Raworth,

This was the work of a formidable
committee of Puritan ministers ("the
Joynt-Labour of certain Learned
Divines"), including John Ley, William
Gouge, Meric Casaubon, Francis
Taylor, Daniel Featley, and John
Reading. The book is sometimes
listed under the name of John
Downame, 1571-1652, who may
have been its editor. Most of these
sat in the "Assembly of Divines" at
Westminster during the English Civil
War and the book is consequently
sometimes referred to as "The
Assembly's Annotations". The work
is of considerable historical and
religious importance, not least as
background for the theology of John
Milton. This is the first edition, there
were two later editions, enlarged,
The Alexander Turnbull Library
has the second edition of 1651.

Collection of Purchases
Property purchased can be collected as soon as full payment has been
received. Any items not collected within seven days of the auction may
be subject to a storage and insurance fee.
Items must be paid for straight away and a second account for
courier/freight charges will follow approximately 6 days later when
we have had time to confirm courier/NZ Post charges.
National & International Packaging and Transportation
We prefer the buyer to pack and arrange transport. Removal firms can
make crates, wrap your goods and have them delivered to you.
1. Pack & Send, email: wellingtoncity@packsend.co.nz. Quote lot
number, correct auction house (Auckland or Wellington) and
date of the auction.
2. It is best to arrange your own freight insurance. It is cheaper
with your household insurance company.
3. Couriers do not pack and require payment before they pick up the
goods. If you want Dunbar Sloane Ltd to pack and pay for couriers
we charge accordingly. This is to be paid before the goods leave our
premises. We pack with care, however we take no responsibility for
damage once your goods leave our premises. It is up to the buyer
to arrange insurance to cover any damage or loss in transit.
4. New Zealand Post Office
If you require us to send your items by post we will charge for
packing, postage and incidentals. The goods need to be paid for
immediately following the auction and we will then quote you
for this service. We have to take your items to NZ Post by car,
stand in queues and fill in a custom declaration. This all takes
considerable time for which we charge NZ $50.
Please bid on my behalf at the above sale for the following lots.
These bids are to be executed as reasonably as permitted by other bids or reserves.
I agree to comply with the conditions of sale as printed in this catalogue.
