1668 1^ed John Owen Puritan Bible & Commentary Book of Hebrews Ireland Provenance

John Owen was a 17^th-century English theologian whose Puritan ideals appeared throughout his sermons and published works. One of his most important works was his commentary on the Epistle of Hebrews from the New Testament. This commentary was so massive that, at over two million words, it is still “one of the longest commentaries ever published on any New Testament epistle. It also was notable for providing context and references to rabbinical literature.” (Gribben, 235-6).

    • Thomas Wallis
      • Thomas Wallis (1649 – 1695) was an Anglican priest in Ireland in the 17th-century.

    • Joseph Cox, 1879
      • Joseph Richard Cox (1852 – 1934) was an Irish politician.
      • From Kilmore, County Roscommon, Joseph Cox was educated at St. Mel’s College, County Longford. He became secretary to the Lord Mayor of Dublin. He was elected MP for East Clare in 1885, and was re-elected, unopposed, in 1886. Following the Parnell Split, he became an anti-Parnellite, and in the 1892 general election he was defeated by the Parnellite candidate, William Redmond. Cox launched an election petition, aiming to unseat Redmond, claiming corrupt practices and intimidation. The case was lost, however. Two years later he was declared insolvent, following the award of costs against him following the case. At that time, he had been acting as London agent for a wine company for several years.
