5 This book was entered in the fame year by Thomas Creede,
on the books of the Stationers' Company.

• This book is only introduced, that an opportunity may be
obtained of excluding it from any future catalogue of translated
clafficks. It was a fraud of Guevara's, but not undetected; for
Chapman, in his Gentleman Usher, 1602, speaks of the book
as Guevara's own." If there be not more choice words in thạt
letter, than in any three of Guevara's Golden Epiftles, I am a very
afs." See his article in Bayle. Our countryman Elyott did
somewhat of the fame kind. He pretended to translate the
Actes and Sentences notable, of the Emperor Alexander Seve-
rus (from the Greek of Encolpius). See Fabricius' and Tanner's
Bibliothec. &c.
