Bibliography WRITINGS BY ELIZABETH HOOTON I.—In print:— _False Prophets and False Teachers described_ [1652]. _To the King and both Houses of Parliament_ [1670]. _A Short Relation concerning William Simpson_, 1671. II.—In manuscript:— Hooton MSS. in =D.= (Portfolio iii.) 1653-1671. This is a collection of seventy-nine MSS., one only, or at most two, in the handwriting of the Author, but all of contemporary date. They are, in the main, addresses to persons in authority or position—Cromwell, the Mayor of London, the Lord Chamberlain, the Bishops of London and Canterbury, the King and the Duke of York, Lieutenant Robinson of the Tower, various “priests” and magistrates, and others. There is another MS. in =D.= (Portfolio i. 135), being an address respecting persecution in New England, unsigned, but doubtless by E. Hooton, though not in her handwriting.
