(Dean of Peterborough; later Bishop of Ely) Edition: Sixth Edition, Corrected Publisher: Richard Chiswell, at the Rose and Crown in St Paul's Church-Yard Place/Date: London, MDCLXXXVII (1687) Imprimatur: "Carolus Alston, R.

Description A complete example of the 1687 sixth edition of Symon Patrick's influential Anglican devotional allegory The Parable of the Pilgrim, printed for Richard Chiswell, one of the foremost London booksellers of the late Stuart period. This copy retains the entire original 17th-century text block, but has been professionally rebound in modern full calf (light tan) over boards, with a red morocco and gilt title label to the spine. The binding is clean, tight, and unworn, providing a durable preservation covering for the original leaves. Pages show age-toning and mild marginal wear consistent with a 336-year-old book, but the text remains clear and fully legible throughout. No missing leaves; collated complete at 527 pages. The imprimatur page bears the authority of Charles Alston, domestic chaplain to Bishop Henry Compton ? confirming this as an officially licensed devotional work printed during the Restoration era. Condition: Text block original and complete Modern full-calf binding in excellent condition Pages toned, occasional spots, but no major stains or tears No ownership inscriptions detected A sound and presentable example of this important 17th-century theological work.
