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.
