HO THE ARTE OR CRAFTE OF RHETHORYKE
65 : 29 f. Not in M. Drawn by Cox probably from Erasmus. The laude of matrimony was a subject which Erasmus treated on several occa- sions (e.g. in his Praise of Folly, Colloquies ', etc.). See the translation in Wilson's Arte of Rhetoriqtie, 1553 (fol. 21 b. et seq.), of "An Epistle to perswade a young ientleman to Mariage, deuised by Erasmus in the behalfe of his frende."

66 : 24. See Sallust, Catiline Ch. li. M. only paraphrases Sallust's text and does not quote it directly. Cox goes to the original and trans- lates an additional sentence, /. e. " Haud facile animus verum providet, ubi ilia officiunt."

67:36. "As Livius .... begynneth his oracyon," i. e., the speech attributed to the consul Posthumius by Livy, Book XXXIX, Ch. xv.
68:13. Cox introduces here a very significant variation from his original. Instead of Cox's remark in regard to the need of unity in the church, Melanchthon's illustration runs : "ut vindicare Germaniam a pon- tificia tyrannide, et pium et necessarium est hoc tempore." Cox is writ- ing in the days of Henry VIII before the actual separation from Rome and before he had become one of Edward VI's preachers of the reformed faith. The party of the humanists, More, Erasmus, and their followers, while standing for reform, stood also for unity in the church.
