Dealing with Erring Christians, preached at St. Paul's Cross, seems also to have been printed, at Farindon's instigation. The sermon Of Duels, preached at the Hague, is said to have been printed, though Farindon implies the contrary. Other works Other pieces, published during his lifetime, but apparently without his authority, were: The Way towards the Finding of a Decision of the Chief Controversie now debated concerning Church Government, &c., 1641, anon. A Tract concerning Schisme and Schismatiques, ... by a learned and judicious divine, &c., 1642; two London editions, same year, also one at Oxford, with animadversions. Of the Blasphemie against the Holy Ghost, &c., 1646, anon. Posthumous Golden Remains of the Ever Memorable Mr. John Hales, &c., 1659; 2nd edit., with additions, 1673; 3rd edit. Sermons preached at Eton, &c. Several Tracts, &c., 1677; 2nd edit., 1716, with addition of the letter to Laud. The Works . . . now first collected, &c., were edited by Sir David Dalrymple, Lord Hailes, and printed at Glasgow by Foulis, 1765, in 3 vols. Note:The eirenic tract on Schism and Schismatiques may have been written about 1636. Hales describes it as 'a letter,' and 'for the use of a private friend,' probably William Chillingworth, then working on his Religion of Protestants (1637). Those two works, with the Discourse of Infallibility (1645) of Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland, have been identified as key texts of the Great Tew Circle to which Hales belonged. It was circulated in manuscript, and a copy fell into the hands of William Laud. Hearing that the paper had given offence to the archbishop, Hales wrote, and Laud interviewed him. Des Maizeaux mentions the story that Hales assisted Laud in the second edition (1639) of his Conference with John Percy. Laud made him one of his chaplains, and obtained for him a canonry at Windsor, into which he was installed on 27 June 1639.
