A propos de cet article

London: Printed for Langley Curtis, 1679. "40 Pages of Cant & Hypocrisy by a Villain" Foulkes, Robert [bap.1634-1679]. An Alarme for Sinners: Containing the Confession, Prayers, Letters, And Last Words of Robert Foulkes, Late Minister of Stanton-Lacy in the County of Salop; Who was Tryed, Convicted, And Sentenced, At the Sessions in the Old Bayly, London, January 16th 1678/9, And Executed the 31st Following. With an Account of His Life. Published from the Original, Written with His Own Hand, During his Reprieve, And Sent by Him at his Death to Doctor Lloyd, Dean of Bangor. Licensed, Jan. 29. 1678. London: Printed for Langley Curtis, 1679. [iv], 39, [1] pp. Quarto (7-1/2" x 5-3/4"). Stab-stitched pamphlet in recent marbled boards, printed title label to spine. Light fading to spine. Light browning to interior, occasional light foxing, light edgewear and chipping to several leaves without loss to text, small blind-embossed stamps to lower corners of a few leaves, early shelf mark to verso of title page and annotation to verso of final leaf. $400. * Only edition. Foulkes was notorious for sexual liaisons with his flock as the vicar of Stanton Lacy. One of these was with Anne Atkinson, the unmarried daughter of his predecessor. When she became pregnant in 1678, the two traveled to London in an attempt to conceal the pregnancy from the parish. After Atkinson gave birth on December 11, Foulkes killed the child and disposed of the body in a privy. He returned to Stanton Lacy without Atkinson, but was arrested when she told the story of the affair and the murder. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death, but a leading Anglican divine obtained him a nine-day reprieve, during which he wrote this penitential sermon. The sermon, in which he blames Atkinson (who had already been acquitted) for leading him astray, was popular and well-received, but an early owner of our copy describes it as "40 pages of Cant & Hypocrisy by a Villain."
