_The Image of both Churches_ (Vol. iii., p. 407.).--There seems to be
no doubt that this curious book, respecting which DR. RIMBAULT inquires,
was written by Dr. Matthew Pattenson, or Patteson (not Paterson). Gee,
in his _Foot out of the Snare_, published in 1624, the year after the
publication of _The Image of both Churches_, in his Catalogue of
"English Bookes," mentions "_The Image of both Churches_, by M. Pateson,
now in London, a bitter and seditious book." The author is subsequently
referred to as "F.(ather) Pateson, a Jesuit, lodging in Fetter Lane."
See also the Preface to Foulis's _History of the Romish Treasons and
Usurpations_, 1671, fol., and Wood's _Athenæ_, edit. Bliss, vol. iv. p.
139., in which it is stated to have been mostly collected from the
answers of Anti-Cotton and Joh. Brierley, Priest. In Dodd's _Catholic
Church History_, vol. ii. p. 427., folio edit., it is also attributed to
Dr. M. Pattenson, of whom some account is given, and who is mentioned to
have been Physician in Ordinary to Charles I.
