Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spider and the Flie
Herbert says: 'we are to consider the author here, as he really was, a Catholic; partial in vindicating the Catholic cause and the administration by Queen Mary, whom he characterises by the maid, with her broom (the civil sword), executing the com mands of her master (christ) and her mistress (holy church). By the ?ier are to be understood the Catholics, and by the spiders the Protestants. How j ustly the characters are supported I have neither leisure nor inclination to examine.'
