Scandalous and seditious Books and Pamphlets fit for
the fire. [ 1108]
Agesilaus,* 1.1 when he saw the Usurers bonds and bills set all of a light fire, said;
Nunquam vidi ignem clariorem, I never saw a brighter or a better fire in all my
life. And it were heartily to be wished, that of all such scandalous, blasphemous,
seditious Books and Pamphlets, that are dayly vended amongst us, such as are fraught
full of nothing but pestilent and bitter malice,* 1.2 and the most shamelesse desperate
untruths, that the Devill, the father of lyes can help to invent, there were a fire
made of them, as was of the Books of curious Arts, Act. 19. the flames whereof
perhaps might expiate some part of the Authors offences, which otherwise would
one day help to encrease their torment in Hell fire.
