The New Cheaters forgeries, detected, disclaimed;  By Will. Prynne Esq; a Bencher of Lincoln's inn. 
WHereas not only one Walker, Bates, and others heretofore, for their own private lucre, have printed sundry illiterate Pamphlets in my name, to cheat the People, but likewise one Chapman in Popes-head alley (as I am credibly informed by those who will prove it) on the 30. of this instant May hath printed and dispersed a paper, entitled, [A Sheet, Or if you will, a Winding Sheet for the good Old Cause: By W. P. Philopolites.] Prefixing the Letters of my name before it, as penned by me, and on this 31. of May, hath printed and published another Sheet, styled 
[Mola Asinaria: Or, The unreasonable and unsupportable burden now pressed upon the shoulders of this groaning Nation, &c.]  
BY WILLIAM PRYNNE, Bencher of Lincoln's inn.  Printing my name thus at large not only in the Title, but in the Contexture itself, insinuating it to be penned by me, on purpose to cheat the people of their moneys; and make me the Father of these BASTARDS, (through the stationer's Knavery) which the true Fathers need not be ashamed to own publicly by name, being Ingenuous well-penned Pieces. To prevent all future Frauds of this nature (especially in Pamphlets declaiming against public Cheats,) I held it my duty openly to detect and disclaim these two, in print before all the world; having no hand at all in the conception, generation, or production of either of these Pamphlets directly or indirectly, whose Compilers are altogether unknown to me. And I shall desire all Stationers, Printers henceforth to take notice; that their thrusting out Books in other men's names to pick people's purses, is a Counterfeiting of Letters in other men's names falsely and deceitfully to get money from other persons, within the Stat. of 33H 8. c. 1. punishable by Imprisonment, Pillory, and all other corporal pains, except death: Which Law I intend to prosecute against them, if they shall henceforth abuse me, and the people in this kind.  
As for the scurrilous railing, nameless, empty abusive Printed Libels and Papers formerly and lately published against me; I look upon them only with contempt, as the braying of illiterate Asses, who can neither contradict nor refute my writings for the public good and safety: and value them no more, than the barking of mangy dogs against the Moonshine: having treasured up this sovereign Antidote of my saviour's own composition, in my breast many years since, against the venom of all false viperous tongues or pens, Luke 6. 22, 23. Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and separate you from their company, and cast out your name as evil, for the son of man's sake: rejoice and leap for joy, for great is your reward in heaven, for so did your Fathers unto the Prophets. A wise Heathen could say, Regium est male audire cum bene feceris; much more a magnanimous Christian. The best refutation of railings, is Contempt; Spreta exolescunt.  
In testimony of the premises, I thought necessary to subscribe and publish them under my own hand and name.  
From my Chamber at Lincoln's inn 31 May 1659. WILLIAM PRYNNE.
