THE AUCTION: OR, A Catalogue of some useful Books, lately Published, together with a Summary of what is Treated of in them.  
Printed for Robert Hardy, at his Shop in Westminster-Hall.  

Divinity Books.  
The infallible Director of the present Beneficed Clergy's Practices. 

AN useful and necessary Book for this Age; demonstrating, that Church-Preferments more powerfully govern their Actions, and Byass their Consciences, than the Precepts of our Saviour, or the Doctrine of the Apostles; or the Ancient Father's Canons, or Constitutions of this Church, subscribed and assented to by all the Dignitaries, Parsons, Vicars, and Curates, who have been Beneficed these two years last passed.  
Sold by Richard Baldwin, at the Sign of the Pilgrim.   The present English Catholic Church. 

A choice Treatise proving that the present Beneficed Churchmen of England, concur not only with the Doctrine of Calvin, Knox, and all the late fanatics; but even with the Posit one ascribed to the most biggotted Papists, and Jesuits, in the Doctrine of Resisting, Deposing, and Murdering of Kings, when they conceive them to be Enemies to the Religion they profess, or not like to be so indulgent to them, as some Ambitious Usurpers pretend to be.  
Writ by Dr. Burnt, to be sold in the Palace-Yard, Westminster.   The Non-Obligation of Oaths. 

An Elaborate Treatise, showing that we being obliged by the Law of Nature to study Self-preservation, and taught by the Gospel, that he who provides not for his Family is worse than an Infidel. Therefore  Oaths may prejudice us in either of these, are ipso facto void. And  Oath shall be imposed, to capaciate us to live in a State of freedom from suffering, and enable us to live at ease, and augment our Estates are lawful, so long as they produce these effects, and no longer; for this Obedience is more ●●●●ptable to God, than to Sacrifice all our comfortable Importances, out of an obstinate Opinion, that preceding Oaths, contradictory to any new Ones enjoined, are obligatory.  
Together with an Appendix to prove that by the same Rule, by which we may disoblige ourselves from Oaths of State, we may dissolve all private Contracts, when any present inconveniencies seem to attend them.  
A Discourse worthy the perusal of all who have digested their former Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, and swallowed the New Ones of Allegiance and Fidelity; and the better to prepare them to take the Oath of Abjuraton; or any other which may be devised for the security of the Government.  
Sold by Algernon Bray at the Sign of the White Dog with the Blue Collar.     

Books of Policy and Government.  
The right use of Parliaments, after the Modern way in some Countries 

Or, a Demonstration that a King who hath a well Officered and Pensioned Parliament, can never want  Supplies he shall demand, and that none ever had the true Art of Kingcraft, who attained not to that persection, showing that the Laws owning the King to have the Authority of making Peace or War, should be desicilin if: he had not full and sole Power to settle the same, which can never be done without a Ductile and Complying Parliament; and that there is no such effectual way to render them such, as by establishing their absolute dependence upon him; whereby they may find their own account in Honour and Profit by serving him. Belides that, it is absurd, a King should be owned to be Head of the Church and State in the Politic Capacity, and want the like insluence, the Head, in the Natural Body, hath over the Members: Such an Head being but an empty Scull, filled with a pulp of Sladge instead of Brains, With a Corrolary proving that it is but a Feather in such a King's Cap, and an empty Title to style him Sovereign, who is not in reality so, over the Collective Representative of the People in Parliament, as well as over the Diffusive Body of them, in Citles and Villages.  
Printed by Charles Bill, and Tho. Newcomb, their Majesty's Printers, for the use of the Lord Almoner, and the Clerks of Parliamont.   The present Bishops the surest Courtiers. 

A Treatise writ by the Prolecutor of that Order, to prove the necessity of a King's preserving that Hierarchy, rather than Presbytery, according to the old Maxim, no Bishop, no King. With an Appendix deducing, by particular instances in all their Votes, how steadily the undeprived Bishops, scarce two excepted, pursue the Directions transmitted from the Court, however directly opposite to their formerly avowed Principles, Preach, and Practites: To which is added, by way of Advice, that the Honourable Members of the House of commons, who chanced to be over-voted in the Bill for preventing Pensioners and Officers for the future, have a cane to show their utmost Gratitude to the Right Reverends, who by their Dead Weight cast the Scales, and restated the Commons in a future Capacity to serve their Betters and themselves.  
together with a serious Bersursive to all the people, who own them to be their Guides, and Heads of their Commonion, to sollow their Examples and not their Printed Books, which have declared their contrary Judgements, either before or since their being chosen into the Order.  
Writchy a River and Count Palatine, to be sold by Nathanael Dolittle, at the Sign of the Orange tawny Mitre.   Five to One are odds at 〈…〉. 

Or, a seasonable Treatise, wherein is attempted to be proved; that Lords, aught to yield to Knights, Knights to Esquires, Esquires to Gentlemen, Gentlemen to Yeomon, because they are more Numerous, and are sure to have the advantage at Club Law.  
Together with some useful Admonitions, that smaller Numbers never contest with the greater for Privileges; but rather tamely submit to such as by their special Grace and Favour they will allow them.  
With a Memento not to forget when the Supreme Authority Voted the Lord's House Useless and Dangerous.  
To which is subjoined an Encomium of those Self dying Lords, who will rather choose to forego their Ancient Privileges, than obstruct Supplies, especially when they may go sharers in them.  
As also a Premonition to several Honourable Commons to be preparing themselves against the next Session to repeal the Act for Annual Sessions and Trienaial Dissolutions of Parliaments, and particularly of this present one, lest they should lose the plentiful Perquisites, which Members of late super-anwated Parliaments have been accustomed to enjoy, if the King shall be prevailed with to pass it.  
Composed for Sir Humphrey Lackland, for the use of his Fraternity.  
Printed by Thomas Braddyl, in the New Palace-Yard.   Good Wits Jump. 

Or, a Dialogue betwixt a Member of the Rump Parliament and the late Convention, proving that the same Principles, Laws, and Counsels, governed the late, which did the former; and that the late Revolution was established upon the very same Foundation; and that there neither are nor can be any Reasons or Arguments produced, to maintain the one, which do not equally prove the legality of the Proceed of that black Parliament.  
With a Transition to prove the absurdity of observing the Anniversary, on the Thirtieth of January, unless we will own the Character given our Saviour of those who killed the Prophets, and built or beautified their Sepulchers.  
And that instead of celebrating the Fifth of November, for the preservation of King James the First, his Royal Family, and the Two Houses of Parliament, from the Gun powder Treason; we should now observe it more religiously than ever, upon a new Account, viz. for the arrival of the High and Mighty Prince, who forced from his Throne the Grandson of that King, for whose deliverance the Anniversary hath been kept about 70 years: And that we ought to make a double Festival, by joining to it the Fourth of November, in memory of a Prince's Birth day, who hath so wonder, fully changed the Hereditary Monarchy of England to an Elective; and may, in time, either make the Government of these Realins, exquifitely conformable to that of the Seven United Provinces, or reduce them to a conformity with his Rulenere.  
Together with many solid Arguments to prove, that the Solemnity of the Restauration of King Charles the Second, celebrated on the 29th of May, aught by Act of Parliament for ever to be abolished, and the 13th of February be substituted in its place; being the day of the Proclamation of a greater Deliverer of this Nation than that King ever was, by restoring us to the Happy Estate, ourselves or Ancestors enjoyed under the Long-Parliament, and Oliver Lord Protector.  
Writ by Will. Prynn the Younger, to be sold at Aaron Smith 's, at the Sign of the New Exchange.   The Sovereign Power of Mobbism supported by Hobbism and Sherlocism. 

A Learned Work, proving that the Common People, are the Original Dispenser's of all Power; for that those who are enabled to advance a Captain Tom, may appoint a King Thomas, Oliver, Richard or Anthony.  
With a Critical Demonstration by the Rule of Consequences, that whoever hath the dexterity to manage this great Bucephalus, so that he can mount him, shall never want Divines to prove them Supreme Providential Rulers, nor Hobbists to prove they ought to be submitted to and obeyed.  
With a digression showing how easily the Magistrates of Holland, Zealand, and the other Provinces were changed, or the Wisted, while the Mobb espoused the Interest of the Stadtholder: But now at Tergow, though the Stadtholder had power to banish the Magistrates, yet he had not the concurrence of the People, who gave all the marks possible of their affection to the old Magistrates.  
Writ by James Godliman; dedicated to the late Duke of Schomberg; and printed by Watt Tyler at the Sign of John of Leyden.     

Books of War and Military Affairs.  
An infallible Device never to want Soldiers. 

A serious Discourse, demonstrating that the laying insupportable Taxes and Impositions upon the Subjects, and not providing for the security of Trade, is a sure way to bring a Country to such Poverty, that the House keepers will not be able to maintain their Sons, and Servants, nor Trade smart their Apprentices and Journey men whereby the young Men can have no means of subsistence, but by listing themselves to be Soldiers; So that the want of Bread at home, increaseth the Nurseries of War.  
An Essay, begun four years since and the Author finding it yearly experienced to be true, hath been prevailed with to make it public; and dedicates it to the honourable Committee 〈…〉 referred for the more effectual raising of Seamen and Soldiers for their Majesty's Navy and Army: Sold 〈…〉 Village in England.   The new Project of Kidnapping L●nd-Soldiers. 

A brief Discourse, illustrating the latest method, to spirit Men to serve; by impressing them for Sea-service, which the Law allows, and lodging them more safely than honourably in the Tower of London, of Goals in the Country, and then telling them that they look not like Men acquainted with Sea-service, therefore, if they like it, they may be employed for Land, under worthy Officers who will take great care, that they be well clothed and paid, either for Service here, or in Flanders; and so allowing such 〈…〉, Plabson's Choice, and having saltned a Shi●●ing in their Fists, their Service is transferred from Sea to Land.  
Dedicated to all Pretenders to the Liberty of the Subject, by proving that an even Exchange is no Robbery.   Expectance better than Fruition. 

An ingenious Tract, proving that allowing Soldiers bare Subsistence, and never clearing Arrears, though Money is plentifully granted to discharge both, is 〈…〉 way to keep them in the Service of the Government, lest if they should be 〈◊〉 off, they should desert. A no where practised 〈…〉.  
With 〈…〉 how the Officers have this defect in some measure supply 〈…〉 the subsistence Money to their own Pock●● for five or six Months together, for all such as have died by Diseases 〈◊〉 stayed 〈…〉 provided they can complete their Number against the beginning of the next.  
Translated out of the Dutch 〈…〉 and Printed for the Consolation of indigent Officers and Soldiers; recommended to the Committee, to which is referred the Bill to prevent False Musters, and to pay the Soldiers according to true 〈◊〉 of Effectives Men. In hope they will find out some expeatem to encourage Faithful Officers, I cast if that rigorous-Bill should pass, they should be forced to throw up their Commissions.   〈…〉 

A Paradox, proving by that of Argument that it is a Masterpiece of Policy, strequently to borrow great Sums from the Citizens of London, and to raise the Million of Money, by borrowing upon the Fund of 70000 l. out of the Excise; for that thereby 10000 Families are engaged and fastened by their Purso strings to the Government.  
Writ by a Primser Minister of State, for his Master's instruction, and by an add accident procured to be copied, and now published for the Information of all whom 〈…〉 sold at Guild hall, the Royal Exchange, and .   Look before you Leap. 

Or, a necessary Caveat to all who are inclinable to lend Money on the Public Faith, and especially on the Million-project; that before they part with their 〈◊〉, they obtain an Act, not only to per●… this Parliament; but that no 〈◊〉 Powers may repeal this Act; or that, since so many Ensurers are marched oh, that a Committee of Members be appointed to be Ensuters, at something under Cent. per Cem, lest, such ●calons Servants of the Government may want encouragement, or a succeeding Crowned Head, or a Supreme Power, may stand in as much need of the Fund, as this doth of the Advance Money.  
Writ by an Eminent Scholar, at shutting up the Exchequer, to be sold at all the Policy Offices in London.   A new Project of Seating Arrears 

That the Officers and Soldiers, discount, for the Free Quanter they have had in Ireland, and England, and for the Arms or Horses they have lost, and the Charges of Transport Ships. To which is added a Quore, Whether the Country shall be repaid for Free Quarter, or there shall be and Balance in the Public Accounts, for the Arms, Stores, or Transport Ships, if deductions be this made of the Arrears due to the Soldiers? And, Secondly, when they shall he paid them  
Writ by the Treasurer of War, for the use of his Clerks Sold by Naaman Rob-Spitale, at the Sign of the Sponge.   The Magic of Words. 

A Treatise wherein is irrefragably proved, that in the Words Religion Liberty, and Property, there are more powerful Spells than ever were invented by the most famous Magicians of the Ancients: By a Series of instantes showing, that within the compass of a Century and half of years, these three Words have slain near a Million of Men, Women, and Children, Great Monarches have been Murdered, or dethroned, Kingdoms C●●tonized into Commonwealths, or some parts of them have been dismembered from the rest; yet like the Delusion, the Devil is said to use to Witches, in seeming to bestow Feasts, Banquets, and immense Riches upon them, yet they are found still miserably poor. So after all the Arts used by those who know how rightly to apply these Words to put People (in Reality, wanting all these) into the murdering Frenzy and Fury, to secure them, they never yet produced the pretended, or desirable effect. But the generality of these Survivors have been at the upshot, more unsettled in their Religion, more enslaved in their Liberties, and more endamaged in their Propereys than when the ambitious Magicians raised the Tempests by the Charms of such Words:  
Writ by a learned Historiographer for the use of Associators, Agitators, and Covenanters. Printed by Ezekiel Firebrand at the Sign of the Crocodile.   An Infallible Cure for a Decayed Memory. 

Or a true Account of a Cure performed upon the 9th of January last, upon a Right Reverend old Prelate, who had so perfectly forgot a Message to him of very Public Concern, and some remarkable Discourses upon it, that he retained no more Memory of it, than he did of what he had done when but Three years old, as he himself affirmed. Yet in the space of one hour, by the good Advice of a charitable Lady who had not a Doit for her pains, he was in a great measure restored to his Memory, and it's hoped he will every day more and more recover the use of it.  
To which is added by way of Supplement the Resolution of certain Queries, as 1, Whether a treacherous Memory be not not easilier cured than Treacheey in the Memory; Resolved in the Affirmative. 2. Whether in some Cases Forgetfulness be not more desirable than a Sharp Memory; the Question being grounded upon the famous Instances of some, who being cured of depraved Imaginations that they were Kings, or Emperors, have lamented all their Life after their being deprived of the Pleasure of that imaginary Greatness, they under that Lunacy enjoyed: Resolved also in the Affirmative in certain Cases.  
As. When the Restitution of Memory is damagable to any more noble Faculty of the Mind, as when it spoils the Will, or Vivacity, or gaiety of the Soul, and fills it with Horray, Affrightments, sense of Gild, and uneasiness: Which may happen in many Cases when the Conscience is oritically tend. Upon which the Author makes very learned Reflections, resolving the Question in general, that for Men in such Circumstances, who have no farther regard than to the Pleasures of this Life, they are in a more desirable Condition in the want of such a restored Memory.  
But if they have regard to the Condition of their Immortal Souls, they had better have a perfect Memory of all things they ought to repent themselves of, and to work out their Salvation with Fear and Trembling, than to drop with Stupidity into the place appointed for them though forget God, and want the Testimony of a good Conscience.  
Writ for the Satisfaction of all those who have forgot their taking the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance to the former Race of Kings, or that have been old Cavaliers, or received considerable Favours, or Riches from their Sovereigns. Done by Dr. P—ce, Chaplain to General Monk, and Author of the History of the Restoration of King Charles the II. and dedicated to all, who being yet living, were instrumental in that Restitution, especially so the Earl of B—th and the Bishop of W—ter.
