Dr. Anster states, that
in the pocket-book in his possession, the Duke's movements up to
the 14th March, 1684-5, are given. Would he kindly settle the
question by stating whether the passages quoted by Weldon are to
be found among them?]

QUERIES.
WOOLTON'S CHRISTIAN MANUAL.
One important use, I conceive, of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" is, the
opportunity it presents of ascertaining the existence of rare editions
of early printed books. Can any of your readers state where a copy or
copies of the following may be found?
"The Christian Manuell, or the life and maners of true
Christians. A Treatise, wherein is plentifully declared how
needeful it is for the servaunts of God to manifest and declare
to the world: their faith by their deedes, their words by their
work, and their profession by their conversation. Written by
Jhon Woolton, Minister of the Gospel, in the cathedral church of
Exetor. Imprinted at London by J.C. for Tho. Sturruppe, in
Paules Church yarde, at the George, 1576. Dedicated to Sir
William Cordell knight, Maister of the Rolles.--At Whymple 20
Nouember 1676. N 7, in eights."--Copy formerly in the possession
of Herbert. (Herbert, _Typographical Antiquities_, vol. ii. p.
1094.)
There is an imperfect copy, I understand, in the Bodleian. Access to
another copy has been needed for an important public object, in order to
transcribe the leaf or leaves wanting in the Bodleian copy; and the
book, so far as I am aware, does not occur in any other public
libraries.
