Ad Lectorem Candidum.
My Booke arraign'd for causes criminall,Must dye a death which is vnnaturall:
A Iury Ignorant haue past vpon it,
And found it guiltie: So there is throwne on it
Many contemptuous speeches, in so much
As I appeale to you, whose wisedome's such
As errs not, and craue Iudgement from your breath,
Whether it shall be burnt or prest to death.
