Satire on England using the imaginary country approach. Stubbes begins his attack by focusing on pride and a lengthy critique of the clothes worn by both men and women. He then moves on to sexual relations, eating and drinking, usury, Sabbath-breaking, and other topics. Generally read as anti-theatre. See also 1583 Stubbes. The Second part.

ER - TY - ABST T1 - The Second part of the Anatomie of Abuses, conteining The Display of Corruptions, with a perfect description of such imperfections, blemishes and abuses, as now reigning in euerie degree, require reformation for feare of Gods vengeance to be powred vpon the people and countrie, without speedie repentance and conuersion vnto God: made dialogwise by Phillip Stubbs. Y1 - 1583 A1 - Phillip Stubbes (c. 1555 – c. 1610) KW - English author KW - Male author AB -

Continuation of 1583 Stubbes published six months after the first part and divided into abuses of temporality and spirituality. The former includes a continuation of the critique of fashion, but stresses is more concerned with law, education, trade, poor relief, farming, and so forth. The latter attacks the church. The running head is "The display of Corruptions," which gives a generally accurate idea of the contents.
