An Aduertisement vnto the Reader.

I Haue not quoted (gentle Reader) any Pages in the Treatisours or Notega∣therers writings, which I haue occasi∣on to alleage: because those which I fo∣lowed, are but priuate written copies. but when I had almost finished the reuiewing of this Part; I was credibly tolde, that the sayd Treatise was put foorth, and spred abroad in Print: from Scotland, or from Middleburgh. and I haue since seene the same in print: howbeit varying in certaine places from my Copy, namely a∣bout the latter ende thereof. For there bee some additions, which (in my iudgement) differ no lesse from the stile of the rest; then they doe from the written copy.

Farewell.
