Edmund Bunny (1540‒1619), a theological writer, devoted himself to the work of an itinerant preacher, visiting towns and villages. His doctrine was Calvinistic, but his warm attachment to the ideals of ancient _Israel_ was a singular feature of his theological views.¹ ¹ The | Scepter of | Ivdah: | Or, what maner of Government it | _was, that unto the Common-wealth_ | or Church of Israel was | _by the Law of God_ | appointed. | _By Edm.

He expects France to carry out this idea, and appeals in this sense to the Royal Dynasty in a somewhat strange homiletical manner.³ In 1644 he was appointed French Ambassador at Copenhagen. Being on intimate terms with the eminent scholars Isaac [Vos] Vossius (Appendix xv) (1618‒1689) and Hugo Grotius [Huig _van_ Groot]⁴ (1583‒1645) he became acquainted with their mutual friend Manasseh and with Manasseh’s friends, Caspar [_van_ Baerle] Barlaeus (1584‒1648), Simon Episcopius (1583‒1643), Gerard John [Vos] Vossius (1577‒1649),⁵ Johannes [_van_ Meurs] Meursius (1579‒1639), David Blondel (1591‒1655), [Peter] Petrus [Serrurier] Serrarius (_fl._ 1650‒1700) and Paulus Felgenhauer (_circa_ 1625), who all supported similar ideas.
