A list of interesting things from the Bodleian

Anonymous,  The manner of the impeachment of the xii. bishops accused of high treason, for preferring a petition, 1642. Pamph. C 50 (40). Wing # M472. EEBO link.
Anonymous, The declaration of his excellency the earl of Leven, the general officers, 1646. Pamph. C 77 (2). EEBO unavailable.
John Vicars, The xij Aeneids of Virgil, tr. into Engl. deca-syllables, 1632. Douce V 87. STC # 24809 . EEBO link.
John Vicars, A sight of ye trans-actions of these latter yeares emblemized with engrauen plats, 1646. Crynes 908. Wing # V327 . EEBO unavailable.
John Vicars, God in the Mount, Or, Englands Remembrancer, 1642. Wing # V308. EEBO link.
John Vicars, A letter for a Christian family, TK Date. Wood E 25 (149). Wing # V314A . EEBO link.

As you can tell, I've been circling around John Vicars. I think he's an interesting central figure who draws together Prynne, Jenner, and other hot Protestant stationers, authors, and partisans. But this connection also brought me to some of the awesome bound broadsides that are in Wood E 25. Vicars is important for finding both social and formal connections.
