London: Tho. Basset, James Adamson, and Tho. Newborough: 1687. Pamphlet. A contemporary account / bibliography of the tracts and pamphlets published by both sides. Most of these were anonymous, and there are marginalia which name the author in most cases in a contemporary hand. Title, text, errata. The errata has been crossed out, and the corrections listed have been made by hand in the text. Clagett was particularly close friends with his eventual successor at Gray's Inn, William Wake, the future archbishop of Canterbury. Clagett saw through the press Wake's "The present state" while Wake was lying low in Dorchester, leading to its sometimes being erroneously credited to Clagett (including by Wing, who referenced it as C4390). The title leaf is detached and a little grubby. The text shows some light staining in places and has some marginal ink notes, the first few leaves are partially detached at the top, everything else is well bound together. Wake, William (1657–1737), became Archbishop of Canterbury. He was originally from Blandford Forum in Dorset, and became a convinced Anglican after spending time in France. He wrote many tracts opposing Catholicism.
William Clagett (1646–1688) was an English clergyman and pamphleteer, particularly active during the reign of James II, when he was very anti-catholic. 1-40 pp. Wing C4390.

London: Henry Hills, 1687. Disbound, title, text. This pamphlet, almost written in the form of a play, outlines a debate between Peter Gooden and Edward Stillingfleet & William Clagett. It is interesting to see that Gooden was anonymously described as a Lay-gentleman. Although not a Jesuit, he was certainly a "seminary priest". The title and first couple of leaves are detached, the title has been cropped loose in the bottom margin with a slight loss to the date. The text has light browning throughout, the last page is a little darkened and slightly marked. Gooden, Peter (1643–1694), Roman Catholic priest. educated at Lisbon. He spent the end of Charles's reign at Aldcliffe Hall and set up a school here. Under James II he was made chaplain to the Duke of Berwick's Regiment, but after the revolution he returned to Aldcliffe. He had frequent conferences with Anglicans. 'No man', says Dodd, 'was better qualified to come off with reputation in a personal conference' as 'he was naturally bold and intrepid, had a strong voice, a ready utterance, and generally made choice of such topics as afforded him matter to display his eloquence.'
