"Printed ouer sea, in Europe, within two forlongs of a Bouncing Priest, at the Cost and Charges of Martin Marprelate, Gent, 1589." _The Return of the renowned Cavaliero Pasquill_ has the following extraordinary imprint: "If my breath be so hote that I burne my mouthe, I suppose I was printed by Pepper Allie, 1589." The original "Marprelate" was John Penri, who at last fell into the hands of his enemies, and was executed under circumstances of great barbarity in Elizabeth's reign. "Martin Junior," however, sprung up, and _The Counter-Cuffe_ to him is-- "Printed between the Skye and the Grounde, wythin a Myle of an Oake, and not many Fields off from the unpriuileged Presse of the Ass-ignes of Martin Junior, 1589." The virulency of this theological warfare died away in James's reign, but only to be renewed with equal rancour in that of Charles, when Marprelatism was again called into activity by the high-church freaks of Archbishop Laud. _Vox Borealis, or a Northerne Discoverie by way of Dialogue between Jamie and Willie_, is an example of these later attacks upon the overbearing of the mitre, and affords the imprint-- "Amidst the Babylonians. Printed by Margery Marprelate, in Thwack-Coat Lane, at the Signe of the Crab-Tree Cudgell, without any privilege of the Cater-Caps, 1641." Others of this stamp will occur to your readers: this time the Puritans had the best of the struggle, and ceased not to push their advantage until they brought their enemy to the block. When the liberty of the press was imperfectly understood, the political satirist had to tread warily; consequently we find that class of writers protecting themselves by jocular or patriotic imprints. A satirical pamphlet upon the late _Sicke Commons_ is "Printed in the Happie Year 1641." _A Letter from Nobody in the City to Nobody in the Country_ is "Printed by Somebody, 1679." _Somebody's Answer_ is "Printed for Anybody." These were likely of such a tendency as would have rendered both author and printer amenable to _somebody_, say Judge Jeffries. During the administration of Sir Robert Walpole, there were many skirmishing satirists supported by both ministry and people, such as James Miller, whose pamphlet, _contra, Are these things so?_ is "Printed for the perusal of all Lovers of their Country, 1740." This was answered by the ministers' champion, James Dance, _alias_ Love, in _Yes, they are!_ alike addressed to the "Lovers of their Country." _What of That?_ was the next of the series, being Miller's reply, who intimated this time that it was "Printed, and to be had of all True Hearts and Sound Bottoms."
