A rough transcript with many inter-lineations and corrections. This work, first published in 1584, has been erroneously attributed to Robert Parsons. According to Sir Thomas Walsingham, it was written by Thomas Morgan; see Leslie Hotson, in The listener, XLIII (March 16, 1950), 481-483. In his edition of Leicester's Commonwealth, 1985, D.C. Peck contends the work is by Charles Arundell and others. See related Folger MS: G.a.7, G.a.8, G.a.9, G.b.12, G.b.13, and V.b.41.
