BRITISH JUSTICE:

THROUGH WHICH IT IS
CLEARLY EVIDENT THAT CERTAIN
LOST CITIZENS IN THAT KINGDOM,
authors of sedition and civil arms, and most bitter
defenders of the enemies of the kingdom, were pun-
ished with death so that the common peace of the
Church and the Republic might be more cautiously
provided for: but that no one was called into danger
of their life on account of RELIGION or Roman
ceremonies, although it is published by adver-
saries in a much more malicious manner.

Written first in our own tongue, then

translated into Latin.

A printer's ornament features a central cherub head surrounded by scrolling acanthus leaves and floral motifs.
