ABSTRACT
Fitzherbert denounced Donne for his 'many Lucianicall, impious, blasphemous, and Atheisticall jests against Gods Saints and Servants'. He accused Donne of having now passed 'ultra crepidam, that is to say, beyond his old occupation of making Satyres (wherein he hath some talent, and may play the foole without controule)'. He said that the 'Canon of the Councell of Lateran . .. is not in any way impeached ... by the quintessence of M. Donne's extravagant conceytes'.
