Partial crack to text block between Ee8 and Ff; binding remains secure. Brief later annotation to p. 227. A very good copy. $450. Third Edition. First published in 1676 Degge's Counsellor remained the preeminent practical manual for the English clergy and their legal advisors for nearly 150 years. Written by a prominent barrister and Royalist judge rather than a theologian the work is celebrated for its pragmatic secular approach to church law. It was instrumental in redefining tithes-originally a religious offering-as a strictly enforceable legal property right under common and statute law. This 1681 edition was published during a period of intense legal refinement following the Restoration. It includes substantial additions over the first edition reflecting the evolving court precedents that sought to stabilize the Church of England's financial footing. A critical feature of this edition is the "Catalogue of Dissolved Monasteries" which identified lands exempt from tithe payments-a vital reference tool for 17th and 18th-century land disputes. This copy features a notable generational provenance within a documented London legal family. The rear endleaf contains the inscription of Thomas Adlington fl. 1765 an attorney active in the mid-18th century. The front free endpaper and leaf Ee2v bear the signatures of his successor Thomas Adlington fl. 1795 a partner in the prom. unknown books
