[signature illegible]".John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester (1647-1680) was a poet and courtier of Charles II's Restoration court.

If indeed this was Rochester's prayer book it cannot have been used by him for long but it is an attractive item with the addition of the hand-coloured plates and in a pretty binding.The British Library also contains a copy with hand-coloured plates.
