A reprinting and defense of his "Sermon of reformation" and a partial reprinting of and reply to John Saltmarsh's "Examinations", including a reprinting of the preface to that work on leaf A2.

Note

"A sermon of reformation" has separate dated title page with "printed at London" in imprint; pagination and register are separate. The sermon is inserted between the preliminary leaves and the text of "Truth maintained", and statements made by the author in "To my deare paris Saint Mary Savoy" (C1r) and "To the reader" (C4r) in the preliminaries indicate that the sermon was intended to be included as part of this work. It was also apparently issued separately in the same year (Wing F2461).
