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 Licence a Book, Entitled A Vindication of the Primitive Fathers, etc. written by Mr. Samuel Hill of Killington, in the Diocese of Bath and Wells, etc. in which are contained many Scurrilous Reflections upon, and malicious Insinuations of Heresy, and secret Practice 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 myself entirely sorrowful for being the Occasion; by granting the said Licence, of making public 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 incurred.
