I subjoin the conclusion. Baleus Prolocutor. Lete it not greve you, in thys worlde to be tempted, The lyfe of man is a profe in hard temptacyon For Christes vyctorye is theirs that do believe, Where say the rake ronynge the devyll can nere greve Then shall be no harme be able you to do. What enemyes are they that from the people wyll have The Scriptures of God whych are the myghty weapon, That Christ left them here their sowles from hell to save, And threw their head lordes into the devyls domynyon, If they be no devyls I say there are devyls non. They brynge in fastynge, but they leave out Scripture est, Chalke they geve for gold, soch fryndes are they to the beest. Lete Lete non report us that here we condemne fastynge, They who know Mr. Douce are well aware, that the notes which he thinks proper to prefix to his books, constitute no immaterial part of their value. I take the liberty of transcribing the note which appears at the beginning of this Tract. "Bale, in the list of his own works, mentions the Baptism and Temptation, and also the Temp tation separately, beginning as this does. I suspect that this copy has originally followed some edition that commenced with the Baptism which is alluded to in the second line of this piece, as it begins with signature D. Ames seems to speak of this interlude as separate, perhaps from not having observed the signatures, if this was his copy, which is not improbable. Mr. Herbert, in his republication of Ames, p. 1548, likewise mentions this piece, but from his description of the compartment in the title, and from his calling it an octavo, as indeed Ames had done, it should seem that he must have seen another copy. Quere? if the enterlude of John the Baptist preaching in the Wilderness, contains the Baptism above alluded to. See Herbert, p. 1548." END OF VOL I.

At the commencement of an undertaking of such magmitude, it was impossible to make an accurate estimate of the number of Plates which would be required; the por ion, therefore, which should be given in each Fart, was determined by what could be afforded at the time; and it vas increased gratuitously during the interval when paper was reduced in price. The unusual proportion of original articles, requiring illustrative engravings, which has been Furnished by men of eminence in various branches of cience has, however, obliged the Proprietors to trespass on Their Subscribers by a small charge for an increased numper of Plates; but they have in no instance made any deuction from the number which they originally gave with ach Part; double, or folding Plates, being always reckond as two single ones. They beg leave further to observe, hat the additional Plates (published in two or three searate Parts) augment in a very considerable degree the alue and utility of the work; and they are persuaded that he purchasers will think themselves amply compensated or the additional expense to which they are thus subjected.
