Samuel Harsnett (or Harsnet) (June 1561 – May 1631), born Samuel Halsnoth, was an English writer on religion and Archbishop of York from 1629.
It is, in very large part, the library of Samuel Harsnett, the son of a Colchester baker, born 1561, a Cambridge student who became Master of his old college, Pembroke (1605-1616), bishop successively of Chichester (1609-17) and of Norwich (1617-29), ending his career as Archbishop of York.
Shakespeare got the name from Samuel Harsnett's Declaration of Egregious Popish Impostures (1603), [citation needed] where one reads of 40 fiends that Jesuits cast out and among which was Fliberdigibbet, described as one of "foure deuils of the round, or Morrice, whom Sara in her fits, tuned together, in measure and sweet ucadence."
In the first year of the reign of King James, the Protestant divine Samuel Harsnett was directed by the new government to write this Declaration in order to expose the practices of certain Catholic priests who claimed to be conducting exorcisms.

As a result, Darrell was accused of fraudulent exorcism. The prosecutor was Samuel Harsnett, who was to end his career as Archbishop of York. Harsnett's views about Darrell were published in A Declaration of Egregious Popish Impostures in 1603.
At Bancroft's instigation Harsnett was to write a satirical denunciation of the whole affair, A Discovery of the Fraudulent Prac tices of One John Darrel (Stationers' Register, 15 November 1599).
