"And sayth further that Docter Hayward understandinge that many
hade spoken agaynst this former edition hadd made an epistell
apologeticall to sett to the second edition, as this examynate
thinketh; and 15 hundred of these bookes beinge allmost fynished
in the Whisson hollidayes, 1599, weire taken by the wardens of
the Stacionours and delivered to the Lord Busshopp of London. And
this examynate sayth that he dothe not remember the particuler
allteracions which weire in the latter edition from the former, nor
hathe not any of the said bookes, nor never finished nor sould any of
the said bookes, nor cannot come by any of them. And this examynate
sayth that the said appologie, as he thincketh, did tend to no other
end then to satisfie the people of the author's meaninge in wrytinge
the booke, and that the author said he ment not as some interprit
yt. And this examynate sayth that the said Mr. Docter Hayward when
he was tould by this examynate that some did fynde faulte with the
former edition, he desired this examynate to intreat them that he
might speak with them to knowe what they did mislike, to the intent
that he might express his meaninge therein. And this examynate sayth
that the people havinge dyvers tymes sythence called uppon hym for to
procure the continewation of the same history by the same author, he
hathe likewise intreated the same author to goe forward in wrytinge
the said history, which he thincketh he hath don some parte of.
