Quaesumus te, &c. OR, THE SUPPLEMENT TO THE NEW litany For these Times: Being a further EXPEDIENT In order to the perfecting of a REFORMATION IN THE THREE NATIONS; But chiefly of the City of LONDON.  
LONDON, Printed for Cauda Draconis: in English, the Rump. 1660.   

To the Reader.  
Gentle Reader,  
HAving some weeks since published the former part of this litany, entitled, A new litany for these Times, &c. and finding that it was very acceptable( for what worth I know not) to many of the ingenuous, I am bold to present thee with this second part; wherein, if there be any thing that shall please thee, I shall think my small pains well bestowed. And if ought be dis-relished by thy over-nice and curious palate, I must entreat thee to be so candid as to pardon it, since I wrote not to please one, but many. However, if thou art humor'd in some things( which I do not question but thou wilt be) thou mayst bear with others. Let the Hare's Head and Goose Jublits go together. And so  
Farewell.
