1. ‘A famouse cronicle of oure time, called Sleidanes Commentaries, concerning the state of Religion and common wealth, during the raigne of the Emperour Charles the fift,’ Lond. 1560, fol. Dedicated to Francis, earl of Bedford.
2. ‘A Hvndred Sermons vpon the Apocalips,’ by Henry Bullinger, Lond. 1561, 8vo, 1573, 4to. Dedicated to Thomas, lord Wentworth.
