The dates affixed to the two first articles have been altered, and originally stood 1578 and 1580. That these are the true dates, is proved by internal evidence, for in the former of these tracts, the author refers frequently to the victory of Don John of Austria over the Turks, anno 1571, as of recent occurrence, and in the second he speaks of Don Francesco de Medici as then living, who succeeded to the Dukedom of Florence in 1574 and died in 1587. The name of the author nowhere appears.
