he wrote in the yeere of our Lord 1614. The French Edition of this Booke out of which this English Copie was translated an● re-printed is pretended to ha●e been ●et foorth as I remember for I could get the sight of it but once in the yeere 1607 at what time Casaubon liued in Paris beeing sent for thither by the most Christian King Henry IIII. of France to bee Professor of Humani●ie Who then desiring leaue of his Maiesty modestly to re●u●e Baronius his Annals was denied it And at that time that is to say in the yeere 1607. was his Booke De Ecclesiasticâ Libertate vpon publishing howsoeuer his name was suppressed and yet that would doe no good for when there was but a very little part of it printed the Booke was called in by the Kings authority and so Casaubon forced to breake off that which he had vndertaken to write Was it likely therefore that hee durst venture to set foorth such a virulent Booke as this and one that was so vniustly written against the Papists Or if he had ventured it could hee haue escaped vnpunished Where were his Aduersaries at that time who after his comming into England and his first beginning to write about matters of Religion opposed themselues against him in such number and such bitternesse as they did I haue a Catalogue by me of all the Books which my Father euer published written with his owne hand which elsewhere I haue set foorth to the world How came it to passe that hee should leaue out this But what need wee any more seeing the Imposture of these deceitfull men is already detected who had cunningly printed and prefixed the name of Isaac Casaubon before a French Booke which was put forth without any name at all as in France many are specially if they be Diuinitie Books and so by an artificiall immutation of the Arithmeticall figures for the yeere put a new face vpon an old moth-eaten Pamphlet supposing themselues to be safe enough if they could but any way transferre their imposture vpon others It concerned after ages that at no time there should be want of such as might both deprehend and reuenge the fraudulent dealings of these wretchlesse and wicked men FINIS AN ADMONITION TO ABRAHAM d' ACIER the Geneuian falsly surnaming himselfe DARCY SIr Vndertaker for a false worke it were not amisse if you be capable of good aduise that you gaue some satisfaction to the world your selfe for this foule iniurie which you haue so rashly done not onely to Mr. Casaubon but to the whole Church of England in republishing a Booke vnder his name that was fitter for a Turke then a Christian to write and hereafter that you would take notice of your owne insufficiencie to spend your Censure vpon such matters as you vnderstand not What had you to doe to tell the world what a Rare and Admirable piece of Diuinitie you had found out a Booke of such abstruse Learning in it so Orthodox all so 〈◊〉 a worke Is it for ● man ●hat neuer had his sight to iudge of colours or for you to tell vs what is Orthodoxall or what not Goe I 'le giue you better counsell home againe and meddle with your Fiddle-strings Take not vpon you beyond your reach It is not for such as you are to tell vs wh●t Book●s are beneficiall for this Church and Monarchy And when you looke vpon your Booke againe let it be through this that you may perceiue and acknowledge your selfe to haue beene a more rash and ignorant and M. Casaubon a more Religious and Learned man then you thought on But aboue all things because you are not capable of many the next time you reade ouer your Title with his Nam● on 't at the beginning and your Aliterate verses vpon his Name at the end of your pretended precious worke Reade on here withall and reade with shame enough That this your admired Pamphlet this your Allobrogicall Dormouse indeed came stealing out in a corner by owle-light no good signe of a Sincere Booke and was Printed in French Three yeeres before M. Isaac Casaubon was borne I say no more then what I haue seene and can make good But it is no marueile you counterfeit other mens names seeing you haue already falsified your owne So wishing you to be wiser and more honest hereafter lest a worse thing happen then you haue endured hitherto I leaue you C.

hinderance because the Sacrament was not solemnly celebrated why then th● Martyrs themselues if they were still in the number of the ●at● humeni Christians instructed but n●● yet baptized shall receiue no crowne of their Martyrdome● for hee that is not initiated is not r●●●iu●d neither But if their owne blood did baptize them then did his pietie and desire also baptize him Now that Constantine was baptized by an Arrian Bishop howsoeuer this opinion be fauoured by S. Ierome yet the contrary is maintained by others The Emperours that succeeded next after Theodosius the Great whether they were Romane or Barbarous though they were many of them infected with the Arrian heresie yet Christians they were all and which is most to the purpose they were euery one farre from any suspicion of Paganisme For Symmachus his Relation which this frantike Zelote falsly calle●h his Answere because hee would not bee brought to cōfesse that euen the chiefest men in authoritie and office were faine to beg for their Religion the matter must bee a little more fully thought on inasmuch as he makes it against strengthening of his cause to prooue that the Senate and Senators of Rome for so hee writes could not any of them bee euer brought to imbrace the faith of Christ The case was this Symmachus was sent Ambassadour by the Heathens to Ualentinian to get them their Altar of Uictory restored c. but could not obtaine it Therefore the Emperour was a Christian at least But who were they that desired this Absit saith S.
