This recantation of M. Barber aforesaid in the University of Oxford, bringeth me in remembrance of an other ⟨p. 1208⟩recantation likewise happening not long before,1 in the said University, which I thought here not to overpass, and namely for that the same carieth withal, a merry ridiculous spectacle, not unworthy to be remembered, & here to be inserted, somewhat to recreate & refresh by the way the weary mind of the reader, after so many bloody and lamentable stories, executions, recantations, and tragedies above passed.
