See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 222. The dedication states that the treatise was completed many years before (1595?) and that archbp. Whitgift had it in his hands and approved it. The advertisement gives further details of the occasion and history of the treatise. The note alludes to Bunny’s connexion with Robert Parsons’ Resolution or Directory, see 1585 P, and J.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 346: and 1613 H. The author is the well-known writer of the Latin and English Dictionary. From the preface it is clear that the sermon, which is written in an uncompromising tone, caused great opposition in Coventry, of which town some curious details of the puritanical feeling are given: it is now published “not altogether against” the author’s mind. See 1613 H.
