For the case, as I thought, of the reader, it is I who have divided this Life into sections, which in the MS. from which I copied it, is one continued narrative without any distinction of paragraphs, &c.—I have also added such passages in the margin taken from Erasmus and Sir Thomas's own works as seemed to me to give light to this history: and at the end of all I've placed by themselves the copies of several letters of Sir Thomas's, printed by Mr. Justice Rastall, his sister's son, to some of which Mr. Roper has referr'd his reader, the book in which they are being now very scarce and not to be come at but with difficultie.
The Mirrour of Virtue in Worldly Greatnes; or, The Life of Syr Thomas More, sometime Lord Chancellour of England, at Paris, MDCXXVI. 12mo.
N. B. This is printed from either a faulty MS. of Mr. Roper's, or else is altered by the editor T. P. See p. 3, among the notes where his book is said by mistake to be 8vo. 1616.
