'SEXTVS dominabitur astris': warnings against treasonable designs of the 'Alastores', i.e. the Society of Jesus. An apparently incomplete and somewhat incoherent compilation, partly in Latin, partly in French, dedicated to James I by an anonymous author, who, however, prefixes his coat of arms, 'arma gentilitia familiae in Flandria orientali', viz. quarterly, 1st and 4th or, an eagle displ. double-headed sa. armed and langued gu., 2nd and 3rd sa., a lion rampant or, armed and langued gu., over all a bar compony arg. and az., on an escutcheon surtout gu., a cross pattée saltire-wise arg. Above is the badge, viz. a pen and sword crossed , clasped by a garter within a laurel chaplet; motto, maritans calamo machaeram, and initials N. D. R. (possibly N. de Ridder). Parts of the contents are dated Breda, 1 Jan. 1614, and the Hague, 1 Jan. 1615. After f. 3 is inserted an engraved portrait of James I ('N. de Clerck excu.'), coloured by hand. On f. 9 are some printed 'erotemata' directed against doctrines attributed to the Jesuits. Paper; ff. 15. Quarto. 8 in. x 6 in. Cirra 1615. Not in the old catalogues.
