Hislife he contemned in comparison of the libertie of speech. Whereas somedull braine maligners of his, accuse him of that treatise _de tribusimpostoribus Mundi_, which was neuer contriued without a generallcounsell of deuils, I am verily perswaded it was none of his, and of myminde are a number of the most iudiciall Italians. One reason is this, because it was published fortie yeeres after his death, and he neuer inall his life wrote anie thing in Latine. Certainly I haue heard that oneof _Mac...hiuuels_ followers and disciples was the author of that booke, who to auoid discredite, filcht it forth vnder _Aretines_ name, a greatwhile after hee had sealed vp his eloquent spirit in the graue. Too muchgall dyd that wormwood of Gibeline wits put in his inke, who ingrauedthat rubarbe Epitaph on this excellent Poets tombstone, Quite forsakenof all good Angels was he, and vtterly giuen ouer to an artlesseenuie. Foure vniuersities honored _Aretine_ with these rich titles, _Ilflagello de principe Il veritiero, Il deuino, & Lvnico Aretino_.
