The Life of John Milton, Volume 5 (of 7), 1654-1660

CHAPTER II
83/279

"You have here, good Reader," he says, "the missing remainder of the edition of a Treatise which we lately printed and published under the title _Aleaxandri Mori Fides Publica contra calumnias Joannis Miltoni_.

This remainder that Reverend gentleman has sent me from France.

Let it suffice for me to have satisfied your curiosity.

Farewell." It must have been this _Supplementum_ of Morus, reaching London perhaps in April 1655, or perhaps during the first busy correspondence about the Piedmontese massacre, that delayed the appearance of Milton's already written Rejoinder to the imperfect _Fides Publica_.
