A true COPY of Mr. Roger Al­tham's Recantation, for Licen­sing Mr. Hill's Book against the Bishop of Salisbury.

WHereas I Roger Altham did License a Book, Entitu­led A Vindication of the Primitive Fathers, &c. writ­ten by Mr. Samuel Hill of Killington, in the Diocess of Bath and Wells, &c. in which are contained many Scur­rilous Reflections upon, and malicious Insinuations of Heresie, and secret Practise against the R. R. F. in God Gilbert, Lord Bishop of Sarum, whereby his Lordship's Honour and Sacred Function are much Blackened and Calumniated. I the said Roger Altham do profess my self intirely sorrowful for being the Occasion; by granting the said License, of making publick the said Reflecti­ons, and malicious Insinuations, and do humbly, and with all Submission acknowledge my Offence therein, and crave his Lordship's pardon and forgiveness therefore: And further, beg his Lordship's Intercession with the Honourable, and Right R. F. in God Henry, Lord Bi­shop of London, whose Displeasure I have hereby justly incurr'd.

April the 2d. 1695.
Roger Altham.
