PERRIN (JOHN), bookseller in London, 1580-92; The Angel in St. Paul's Churchyard. One of Francis Coldock's { COLDOCK, Francis ( - 1603) ‹ LBT 08163 › – though there is no record of binding} apprentices. Took up his freedom on January 18th, 1579/80 {- presented by F.C.} [Arber, ii. 681]. In 1585 he was one of the defendants in an action brought by Richard Day { DAY, Richard (1552 - ) ‹ LBT 07331 › } against several stationers for infringing his patent of the Psalmes and the A B C and Little Catechism [Arber, ii. 791-2]. His first book entry was made on April 28th, 1580 [Arber, ii. 369]. Amongst his publications were Thomas Churchyard's account of the taking of Mechlin [1580], and Humfrey Gifford's Posy of Gilloflowers, 1580. Perrin died before 1593, when his widow issued an edition of the Revd. Henry Smith's sermon The trumpet of the soule [B.M., 4452. c. (3)].
