Note

The first edition of "Apocalypsis" (London, 1655) was published as part 2 of the second edition of Ross's "Pansebeia" (Wing R1972). It was translated by John Davies from "Apocalypsis insignium aliquot haeresiarcharvm" (Lugduni-Batavorum, 1608), which in turn was from a Dutch original, "Growelen der vornemsten hooft-ketteren" (Leyden: H.L. van Haestens, 1607) attributed to Hendrick Lodevik van Haestens. Cf. D. Clément, Bibliothéque curieuse, t. 9.
