One of at least two editions listed under Wing N 401. “A reply to the
pamphlet written by Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of Shaftesbury. The
title page is in the same setting as the 50-page edition, which was
possibly printed later. In this edition A3r line 3 ends “last”. Pagination
incorrect: Pages 63-70 incorrectly numbered 71-78. ” Needham (1620-
78), a pioneer of modern journalism and pamphleteer. “In probably the
strangest of his shifts in allegiance, he wrote three pamphlet attacks on
the earl of Shaftesbury in answer to Shaftesbury’s Letter from a Person
of Quality. These were A Pacquet of Advices and Animadversions …
(1676), A Second Pacquet … (1676), and Honesty’s Best Policy …
(early 1678), all published anonymously. Their primary aim was to
play upon fears and memories of the civil wars by linking Shaftesbury’s
allies with the ‘Old Faction’ of 1641, the ‘good old cause’ of which
Nedham had himself once been an ally. Nedham spoke against his
former political commitments by justifying the long prorogation of
parliament, defending bishops, and showing himself prepared to speak
in favour of divine right monarchy; yet he continued to blame
presbyterian conspiracy as the root of the troubles. ” – ODNB.

An edition not in Adams. “Barletta, sometimes called Barlete, De
Barolo or Barolus, born, according to some, in the Neapolitan territory
at Barletta, whence he took his name, or, according to others, at Aquino;
died sometime after 1480. Little is known of his life other than that he
was a Dominican and probably a pupil of St. Antoninus. All his
contemporaries held him in high esteem as an orator. He was generally
proposed, even during his lifetime, as the model orator … His sermons
appeared at Brixen in 1497, and have been reprinted very frequently
since … In form they are nothing else than the ordinary homily on the
virtues and vices of life. He spares none of the foibles and weaknesses of
his contemporaries, and in his denunciations passages of eloquent and
biting sarcasm are often met with. At times he descends to an almost
burlesque mimicry, as witness his sermon on the manner in which the
rich ecclesiastic says the Lord’s prayer. Coarse things are also to be
found, but not so frequently as in the printed sermons of some of his
rivals. He has been blamed for this coarseness by Bayle and Theophilus
Raynaud, but his name has been completely vindicated by Dominic
Casales. ” – Catholic Encyclopaedia.
