This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 Excerpt: ...of both the churches gathered by John Bale'; and in another note, c which are well declared in John Bale's Commentaries'; and again c what it betokeneth look to Bale in this place.' The notes are necessarily so short that they are not a summary of the Commentary. The notes to the seventh chapter are seven lines, the Commentary on it is twenty-four pages in my copy by Day and Seres, small 8vo. No known edition of Bale's Image has any earlier printed date than 1550, but there are two editions not dated, one printed by Day and Seres, the other by Thomas East.

The Printer's Address already alluded to shews that John Day may have compiled the notes; but it is also possible that Bishop Bale may have been the editor and embraced the opportunity of giving publicity to his own Commentary either printed or in MS. by direct reference to it; or as Day printed Bale's Image, the arrangement of the notes may have been a joint work. This examination proves, that it is incorrectly stated that the 6 notes of Thomas Mathewe' 6 are added '; neither is the statement in the Address of the Printer borne out: 'Ihave' ccaused the same with many more' to be set after the chapters. The comparison of so large a number of readings which are here recorded, fully and clearly prove that this edition is based on 1534 and GH adopting 193 of the 343 readings of 1534, and reading with G-H and the other editions reading with it, in about 612 places; and with 1535 in only five places; and with Matthews M, in only fifteen places. If 6 after the best copy' which we read on the title page is intended to indicate an edition it must be the one 'yet o...
