 By JOHN BALE 
 
 BISHOP OF OSSORY 
 
 The original of this facsimile is in the British Museum 
 {Press-mark C. 34, c. 2) ; it is the only known copy of 
 the first edition. It formed part of the Garrick collection, 
 and probably it came to the famous eighteenth-century actor 
 from the Harley library through Robert Dodsley the anti- 
 quarian bookseller, who speaks of having found it in " the 
 Harleian Collection of Old Plays, consisting of between 600 
 and 700, which are now in my possession." " God^s 
 Promises " was reprinted in 1 577, the first edition being so 
 entirely forgotten by then that the new impression was 
 described as " now fyrst imprynted." This play has been 
 frequently reprinted in modern times. 
 
 John Bale — " bilious Bale " — was a notable figure in 
 his time, a strenuous and not altogether consistent supporter 
 and exponent of the Reformation. He was unscrupulous in 
 attack and violent in speech. Born in 1495 he died in 
 1563, having, at the age of 64, confessed himself "an old 
 and worn-out man." I have in my edition of " The 
 
Dramatic Writings of John Bale " {Early English Drama 
 Society, 1 907) dwelt at length upon the life and times of this 
 hard-hitting acerhous prelate. To this source of reference may 
 be added " The Dictionary of National Biography " {as a 
 matter of course"), the introduction to the facsimile reprint of 
 Bale's " Three Laws " {Tudor Facsimile Texts), Herford's 
 " Literary Relations of England and Germany in the i tth 
 Century^'' SneWs " Age of Transition" Schroer's Introduction 
 to " The Three Laws" {Halle, 1882), &c. &c. 
 
 Mr. J. A. Herbert of the Manuscript Department of 
 the British Museum after comparing this facsimile with the 
 original copy reports that " it must not be considered one of 
 the greatest successes " of the series. He adds, however, " it 
 was exceptionally difficult to reproduce, no doubt" This 
 difficulty arises, for the most part, from the mutilated and 
 stained condition of the original : even the yellow-tinted official 
 stamp of the British Museum has in two instances made 
 darker what is perfectly clear in the original. To this general 
 criticism there is little to add. 
 
 (i) Title-page, line 2, the " D " is/" " (SoD " is clearer 
 in original : as will be seen the page is muti- 
 lated, only the top half being left, mounted 
 on a leaf of blank paper. 
 
 (2) 3» ij. recto, lines 2 and 3, the last words are 
 clearer in original: in line 2, *'COngt ♦ . 
 enc"" \Congruence\ ; line 3, "getcfie Of 
 CO . ♦" Concerning this page Mr. Herbert 
 makes the following remark : — " Not very 
 successful where the page has been repaired. 
 This applies not only to this page, but also to 
 those which follow." 
 
(3) 3. ijt verso, /ines 3, 4, 5, 10, a/?^ 21, //^f" 
 
 obliterated words at commencement are re- 
 spectively «ai0(," «m|)gcl)," "€;J)eg come," 
 "antJ tfijlQf," and «*JFor" [^/^^ JF ««^ 
 imperfect^ but unmistakable\ 
 
 (4) 3. iij» verso, //«£> 1 6, ?/^^ initial is "JF" [For ot^-]. 
 
 (5) TB* i. verso, line 21," JFOt," ^0^ o/" Jf wanting, 
 
 but the letter is unmistakable. 
 
 (6) B. 25/. verso, line 4, ^c/ m,, "^e" ?j ^/az/z 
 
 (7) ^» I^'] verso, /«;^ 4, Z/^^'re' /j «o ^a-z^; in MS. : 
 
 the mark on margin has been introduced by 
 some flaw in printing. 
 
 (8) C. iv. recto, line 4, third word, " at," the " t " 
 
 is faint in original but legible.
