A scarce late 16th century edition of the Sermons of Maister Henry Smith.

There are some several scattered inscriptions throughout. A sammelband of sermons, all by the same author.
Henry Smith was known as a "silver-tongued" Puritan preacher, featured prominently in Elizabethan London. As his health began to fail, he spent much of his remaining years preparing his sermons for publication.

There is some marginal water-staining near the end. The last leaf is torn and soiled. Small portions of the margins to page 97 in Twelve sermons are lacking, without text loss. There is some foxing and soiling throughout.
