Scope and content
An incomplete transcript of the first four books of John Fox: Acts and Monuments of the Church (The Book of Martyrs) edition not identified but probably one of the editions published in Black Letter (i.e. up to and including the 1641 edition). The transcript starts with the sixth persecution (reference to folio 85) and ends with the dissension between Pope Gregory and the citizens of Rome (reference to folio 363). The transcriber usually writes 'Reade the Booke' when he omits portions of the text, such as copies of documents, etc., and he refers to the works of John Whitgift and ?T[homas] C[artwright] in the margin in addition to the marginalia and sources copied from Fox's work.
