Impr. 32: 1613: &c. precisely as 1610 B.
This is a rare reissue of 1610 B with a new titlepage printed (not at Oxford, for the woodcut in the title is unknown there, but) at London, perhaps by W. Stansby. The old titlepage was simply cut off, and the new one pasted in.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 18. The bibliography of the controversy excited by the fresh oath of Allegiance imposed after the Gunpowder Plot is too intricate to be here treated. It was begun by card. Bellarmine (“Matthaeus Tortus”) and James I, and followed by bp. Andrewes’ Tortura Torti, Andreas Eudaemon-johannes (André L’Heureux’s) Parallelus Torti ac Tortoris (Colon. 1611), Martinus Becanus’s Refutatio Torturae Torti (Mogunt. 1610), and many others. See Du Moulin, below.
