From <strong>the</strong> title-page it would appear that a previous edition had been<br />

published at Rouen. <strong>The</strong> work is written to confute Napier's interpretation<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Apocalypse, and commences thus :<br />

de mensonges & impostures<br />

pleines d'attrait, pour nous pyper.<br />
