THE
REV. JOHN LEWIS'S
PREFACE.
Sir Thomas More being a person so very remarkable for his strict virtue, excellent learning, great skill in our municipal laws, his honours and promotions, and lastly for the cause for which he suffer'd a violent death[O 1], many have taken in hand to write his history. Of these, that which I now publish as it seems to have been the first written, so all the rest are more or less transcripts of or copies from it.
