 inlarged,’ displaying wide reading. The second edition came out at Oxford by J. Barnes in 1608, and the third in 1615; another impression, erroneously called the second edition, is dated in 1633. 2. ‘Scvtvm regium, id est Adversvs omnes regicidas et regicidarvm patronos. In tres libros diuisus,’ London, 1612; another edition, 1613. 3. ‘The Auncient Ecclesiasticall practice of Confirmation,’ 1613, which was written for the prince's confirmation in Whitehall Chapel on Easter Monday in that year, London, 1613. 4. ‘An Answer to a Treatise written by Dr. Carier,’ London, 1616. Benjamin Carier [q. v.] argued in favour of the church of Rome. 5. ‘King David's Vow for Reformation, delivered in twelve Sermons, before the Prince his Highnesse,’ 1621. 6. ‘A comparison betweene the dayes of Purim and that of the Powder Treason,’ 1626. 7. ‘An Apologie … of the power and providence of God in the government of the world … in foure bookes, by G. H., D.D.,’ 1627, although begun long previously. Another edition, revised, but substantially the same, appeared with his name in full on the title-page in 1630, and the third edition, much enlarged, with an addition of ‘two entire books not formerly published,’ came out in 1635. The author complained that a mangled translation into Latin of the first edition was made by one ‘Johannes Jonstonus, a Polonian;’ was published at Amsterdam, 1632, and was translated back into English in 1657. Hakewill here argued against a prevalent opinion that the world and man were decaying, as set forth by Bishop Godfrey Goodman [q. v.] in his ‘Fall of Man,’ 1616. Goodman replied with ‘Arguments and Animadversions on Dr. G. Hakewill's Apology;’ and the additional matter in the 1635 edition of Hakewill's ‘Apology’ mainly consisted of the arguments and replies of the two controversialists. Manuscript versions of Hakewill's arguments against the bishop, differing in many respects from the printed passages, are in Ashmolean MSS. 1284 and 1510. The ‘Apology’ was selected as a thesis for the philosophical disputation at the Cambridge commencement of 1628, when Milton wrote Latin hexameters, headed ‘Naturam non pati Senium,’ for the respondent to be distributed during the debate. Pepys (3 Feb. 1667) ‘fell to read a little’ in it, ‘and did satisfy myself mighty fair in the truth of the saying that the world do not grow old at all.’ Dugald Stewart praised Hakewill's book as ‘the production of an uncommonly liberal and enlightened mind well stored with various and choice learning.’ 8. ‘A Sermon preached at Barnstaple upon occasion of the late happy success of God's Church in forraine parts. By G. H.,’ 1632. 9. ‘Certaine Treatises of Mr. John Downe [q. v.] ’, 1633, edited by Hakewill, with a funeral sermon on Downe, ‘a neere neighbour and deere friend,’ and a letter from Bishop Hall to Hakewill printed also in Hall's works (ed. 1839). 10. ‘A Short but Cleare Discourse of the Institution, Dignity, and End of the Lord's Day,’ 1641. 11. ‘A Dissertation with Dr. Heylyn touching the pretended Sacrifice in the Eucharist,’ 1641. Heylyn wrote a manuscript reply, and Dr. George Hickes [q. v.] answered it in print in ‘Two Treatises, one of the Christian Priesthood, the other of the Dignity of the Episcopal Order’ (3rd ed. 1711). Hakewill is sometimes said to have been the ‘G. H.’ who translated from the French ‘Anti-Coton, or a refutation of [Pierre] Coton's letter declarative for the apologising of the Jesuites doctrine touching the killing of Kings,’ 1611. He translated into Latin the life of Sir Thomas Bodley, and he wrote a treatise, never printed, ‘rescuing Dr. John Rainolds and other grave divines from the vain assaults of Heylyn touching the history of St. George, pretendedly by him asserted,’ and the views of Hakewill, Reynolds, and others on this matter are referred to in Heylyn's ‘History of St. George of Cappadocia,’ bk. i. chap. iii. A letter from him to Ussher is in Richard Parr's ‘Life and Letters of Ussher,’ 1686, pp. 398–9, and two Latin letters to him are in Ashmol. MS. 1492. Lloyd, in his ‘Memoirs’ (1677 ed.), p. 640, attributes to Hakewill ‘An exact Comment on the 101 Psalm to direct Kings how to govern their courts.’ Fulman (Corpus Christi Coll. Oxf. MSS. cccvii.) absurdly assigns to him ‘Delia, contayning certayne Sonnets. With the complaints of Rosamond,’ 1592, the work of Samuel Daniel [q. v.]
