Richard CARPENTER.

The Author of a Play, called The Pragma∣tical Jesuit new leaven'd; printed in quarto, but when, or where I know not through the defect of my Copy. All that I can acquaint the Reader with, is that it is a very instructive Play, chiefly tending to Morality; shewing the difference between true Religion, and Hy∣pochrisy. The Author has made it his busi∣ness to expose all the Subtleties and Inventions of the Romish Clergy to gain Proselites, and promote their Religion. I know not whether or no, it might not be writ by a Divine of that Name, the Author of several Sermons, par∣ticularly Three, of keeping a good Conscience, printed in quarto Lond. 1623.
