Impr. 7: 1612: (twelves) 16o: pp. [4] + 138: p. 11 beg. it be, 111 the one: Pica English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “To the Reader”: 1–71, homily on Matt. xvii. 5 (Hunc audite): 72–138, homily on Matt. xix. 8 (Non sic fuit ab initio): 138, “Errata.”
Rare. There is another issue of this book in the same year, identical in every respect, even to the Errata, except that on the title after the asterisks and before the woodcuts come the words “First written in French by Ph. | Mornay, and now translated | into English” instead of the single line of the first issue. The second issue appears to be less rare. In each sign. A 1 is almost entirely gone, which consisted of the titlepage in some early form before a preface was decided on. The preface even in the second issue pretends that the author is unknown to the translator: who may be identical with the “I. V.” of 1615 M.

Very rare. The running title is “The truth of the oath | of Supremacie.” All after p. 82 (sign. F 2) is at present unknown, the British Museum copy being imperfect: but probably other copies exist.
