3. ¬Jesuit’s Pater Noster.¬ THE | IESVITES PATER | NOSTER | _Giuen_ | TO

yea e. 1611. | _Together with the Ave Maria._ | Written first in French:

Phillip King Of men”: A 4^r-A 4^v, “The Ave Maria to the Queene of

The only copy known is in the British Museum. A bitter satire against
the Jesuits. In each piece the stanzas consist of four English lines
and a Latin clause of the Pater Noster or Ave Maria (24 and 8
respectively). This piece was probably not printed at Oxford, two of
the woodcuts being not otherwise found there.

This is a reissue of the sheets of 1607 C, errata and all, with a new
titlepage sewn in, the old one being torn off. The new titlepage was
not printed at Oxford, as is shown by the woodcut ornaments and
general style, but probably by W. Stansby for John Barnes in London.
