See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488. The Bp. of London had only been consecrated the day before this dedication.

3. Jesuit’s Pater Noster. THE | IESVITES PATER | NOSTER | Giuen | TO PHILIP III KING | of SPAINE for his new | yeares gift this present | yea e. 1611. | Together with the Ave Maria. | Written first in French: Engli-|shed by W. I. | [woodcuts.]
Impr. 7a: (four) 16o or 12o: pp. [8], sign. A4: sign. A 3r beg. There are: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1r, title, within a border: A 2r-A 3v, “The Jesuits Pater Noster,” beg. “O Mighty Phillip King Of men”: A 4r-A 4v, “The Ave Maria to the Queene of France”, beg. “WHen Iudas with a kisse betraid his Lord.”
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.
