FIRST EDITION. The address to the reader, though signed John Marriot, is sometimes attributed to Izaak Walton. The Shepheards Oracles 'deals with autobiographical, political, and religious matters under the thin guise of pastoral allegory. The poem includes satirical attacks on the radical fringe of the anti-episcopal "Root and Branch" party, also allegorical portraits of his friend, Phineas Fletcher, and an Arminian "Master Shepheard" who is severely criticized and must be Archbishop Laud ' (ODNB).
