Apostolick charity : its nature and excellence consider'd. In a discourse upon Dan. 12.3. Preached at St. Paul's, at the ordination of some Protestant missionaries to be sent into the plantations. To which is prefixt, A general view of the English colonies in America, with respect to religion; in order to shew what provision is wanting for the propagation of Christianity in those parts / by Thomas Bray. London : Printed by W. Downing, for William Hawes, at the Sign of the Rose in Ludgate-Street, 1699.
"[Bray] was employed under Bishop Compton in seeking out missionaries to be sent abroad ... He found that he could only enlist poor men, unable to buy books, and he seems to have made the help of the bishops in providing libraries a condition of his going to Maryland."--Dict. of nat. biog.
In the "General view of the English colonies," the author tabulates the colonies with respect to the number of their parishes, ministers and libraries. During Bray's lifetime and through his instrumentality there were established no less than 39 libraries in the colonies.
