[_The Seven Champions of Christendom_, which Ritson describes as
"containing all the lies of Christendom in one lie," was written

viz. _The Crown Garland of Golden Roses_, edited by him from the
edition of 1612 for the Percy Society.] {419}
"_Tempora mutantur nos et mutamur in illis_."--"E.V." (p. 215.) is
