Excerpt from The English Reformation
The Writer takes this, the earliest opportunity afforded him, to acknowledge the obligations he was under, in the preparation of the first edition of this book, to his friend, now Archdeacon Churton, who not only under took to superintend the Press during his unavoidable absence from England, but generously added several matters from the stores of his own learning. The account of King John, in Chapter III., and that of the persecution of the Jews, Chapter V., and some of the earlier parts of Chapter VI., were from his pen. He also supplied the extracts from Thomas of Eccleston, in the history of the Friars, in Chapter VII., and some of those from Wyclifi'e's writings in Chapter VIII.
