The four following are by William Turner, M.D., who also wrote under an assumed name:
"The Huntyng of the Romishe Foxe, &c. By William Wraughton. Basil. 1543."
"The Rescuynge of the Romishe Foxe, &c. Winchester. 1545. 8vo."
"The Huntyng of the Romyshe Wolfe. 8vo. 1554(?)."
"The Huntyng of the Foxe and Wolfe, &c. 8vo."
The next is the most important work, and I give the title in full:
"The Hunting of the Romish Fox, and the Quenching of Sectarian Firebrands. Being a Specimen of Popery and Separation. Collected by the Honourable Sir James Ware, Knight, out of the Memorials of Eminent Men, both in Church and State: A. B. Cranmer, A. B. Usher, A. B. Parker, Sir Henry Sidney, A. B. Abbot, Lord Cecil, A. B. Laud, and others. And now published for the Public Good. By Robert Ware, Gent. Dublin. 1683. 12mo. pp. 248."
The work concludes with this paragraph:
"Now he that hath given us all our hearts, give unto His Majesties subjects of these nations an heart of unity, to quash division and separation; of obedience, to quench the fury of rebellious firebrands: and a heart of constancy to the Reformed Church of England, the better to expel Popery, and to confound dissention. Amen."
The last work, with reference to the first simile of my note, which I shall mention, is that by Zephaniah Smith, one of the leaders of the English Antinomians:
"The Doome of Heretiques; or a Discovery of Subtle Foxes who wer tyed Tayle to Tayle, and crept into the Church to doe Mischiefe, &c. Lond. 1648." [[1]]
