And (p 44):--

"This Catholicke Treatise, which I have hope to see ere it be

In the conclusion (cap. xiii. §ix. p. 553.):--

"And now at this very instant having written hitherto, cometh to
my handes the Catholicke Treatise itselfe of _Equivocation_
before meneyoned," &c.... "Albeit the whole Treatise itselfe be
not large, nor conteyneth above 8 or 9 sheetes of written
paper."

And (§ xi. p. 554.):--

"Of ten chapters he omitteth three without mention."
