I do not add the Names of those I refute, in this Place. No body can question, but I have read those I have undertaken to Answer. Neither do I mention those I have made use of for the first Book of this History in particular, because they are Au∣thors known by every body.

I say nothing of the Memoirs I have read in Manuscripts, which I have had from private Persons. I could only mark them with the Name of their Authors, who do not desire it.

All the Pieces and Titles, I cite in this Work, as Edicts, Decla∣rations, Decrees, Breefs, &c. of which I do not give a Catalogue here, because I do not think it material; or which I do not set down among the Proofs, for fear of disgusting the Reader by the bulk of this Work, are still, or have been in my hands in due form; several of them Originals; the most part in Authentick Copies, either Manuscripts, or in Print.

Those I have not in my hands at present, have been return'd to those who had communicated them to me.
