Excerpt from The Church History of Britain, Vol. 1: From the Birth of Jesus Christ Until the Year 1648 To this Life a few notes have been added, con sisting chiefly of extracts from his various writings, supplying deficiencies in the dates, or correcting occasional inaccuracies. In compliance with the rule uniformly adopted at the University Press, the spelling of words has been remodelled throughout the present work. In the orthography of proper names, especially of those which occur in the earlier volumes, spelled sometimes in one way, sometimes in another, such forms have been adopted as were warranted by the best manuscripts, or, if possible, by letters and public documents. On some occasions it has been found impossible or inexpedient to adhere strictly to this rule, more particularly in the names of Fuller's contemporaries.
