Note gentle Read, that whereas (by means our written copy had not observed the same) we unawares have omitted certain distinctions, that we purposed to have made between each of the 3. parts, or books of this former volume abridged, according as in the first volume of acts & monuments, at large is distinguished: thou shalt understand, that the first of those former books containeth the 300. years next after Christ, until Lucius his days. The 2. book beginneth pag. 68. and containeth the next 300. years; viz. from Lucius to king Egbert. The 3. must be reckoned from pag. 85. containing the next 300. years, viz. to the time of William the Conqueror: which here followeth.
