The parly of beasts; or, Morphandra queen of the inchanted iland ... wherein men were found, who being transmuted to beasts, though proffer'd to be dis-inchanted, and to becom men again; yet, in regard of the crying sins, and rebellious humors of the times, they prefer the life of a brute animal before that of a rational creture: which fancy consists of various philosophicall discourses, both morall, metaphysicall, historicall, and naturall, touching the declinings of the world, and late depravation of human nature; with reflexes upon the present state of most countries in Christendom.
