Aduertisement for Papp-hatchett (Works, II

2. Pierces Supererogation (Works, II, 227). — A ces passages de Harvey on pourrait en ajouter d’autres : « Thou wilt be caught by thy style », dit-il à Papp-hatchett, « Albertus Secrets. Euphues Similes... are too-well knowen, to go vnknowen » (Aduertisement, etc., IT, 216). » He might as truly forge any lewd, or villanous report of any man in England; and for his labour challenge to be preferred to the Clarkship of the whetstone : [expression proverbiale, synonyme de « menteur »] which he is hable to maintaine sumptuously, with à mint of queint, and Vncouth Similes, daintie monsters of Nature » (1bi4., 211-212). Un peu plus loin il à dit : « This worthy Autour is deeply beholding for great part of his fine conceits, and dainty learning ; precious ware for Euphued creatures, and phantasticall cplts » (7bid., 220).
