First edition, first issue, with the title undated. The earliest of Donne's controversial writings, published posthumously.

Keynes 47, Pforzheimer 292.
Quarto (190 x 140mm). (A little browning to preliminary leaves, title page a little frayed at upper margin.) Modern vellum. Provenance: manuscript note to title page – H.L. (stamp to title page) – Christopher Creswell, Eton, 1945 (gift bookplate loosely inserted).
