A11423	A second and third blast of retrait from plaies and theaters the one whereof was sounded by a reuerend byshop dead long since; the other by a worshipful and zealous gentleman now aliue: one showing the filthines of plaies in times past; the other the abhomination of theaters in the time present: both expresly prouing that that common-weale is nigh vnto the cursse of God, wherein either plaiers be made of, or theaters maintained. Set forth by Anglo-phile Eutheo.; De gubernatione Dei. Book 6. English	Salvian, of Marseilles, ca. 400-ca. 480.; Munday, Anthony, 1553-1633, attributed name.	1580 (1580)	STC 21677; ESTC S105761	39,276	142
