An Admonition to the Reader.

GENTLE READER, the IESVIT his speeches, through this whole booke, are prin∣ted in the smaller letter, al waies with this mark " in the beginning of the line prefixed. HIM I haue tearmed the EPISTLER, CENSVRER, and ANTAPOLOGER, because in a pretended LETTER, he passeth his CENSVRE against that learned & religious APOLOGY, made and set forth by our most Gratious & truely renowned Soueraigne. The stile, in respect of my place and profession, may, perad∣uenture, be adiudged too bitter; but com∣pared with his Person, and reuiling veine a∣gainst two such Christian Monarches, no one IOTE thereof in exact Suruiew of better iudgement, is either pared off, or spared at all. Faults many haue escap∣ed

tn printing partly vpon negligence, part∣ly ihrough hast; but the most of them, are but either a few letters mis-placed, or dropt out; or else points not so curiously set, or some matginall quotations drawne a little higher or lower, perhaps, then they should; which an ingenuous Reader will pardon, & a learned will espie: those which HEE or any such as HE can carp at, are very few; which it may please thee with thy pen to amend, btfore thou read it.
