Part 2 (in earlier editions with title "Apocalypsis: or, The revelation of certain notorious advancers of heresie" and with separate dated title page, pagination, and new register) is here referred to on general title page as "The lives, actions, and ends of certain notorious hereticks". It begins on p. 545.
The first edition of "Apocalypsis" (London, 1655) was published as part 2 of the second edition of Ross's "Pansebeia" (Wing R1972). It was translated by John Davies from "Apocalypsis insignium aliquot haeresiarcharvm" (Lugduni-Batavorum, 1608), which in turn was from a Dutch original, "Growelen der vornemsten hooft-ketteren" (Leyden: H.L. van Haestens, 1607) attributed to Hendrick Lodevik van Haestens. Cf. D. Clément, Bibliothéque curieuse, t. 9.
