All which are justified, partly by divers Ancient Manuscripts written many hundred Years before Calvin or Luther, and partly by other most Authentick Attestations: The true Originals of the greatest part whereof are to be seen in their proper Languages by all the curious, in the Publick Library of the famous University of Cambridge. Collected and compiled with much pains und industry by Samuel Morland, Esq.; During his abode in Geneva, in quality of His Highness Commissioner Extraordinary for the Affairs of the said Valleys and particularly for the Distribution of the Collected Moneys, among the remnant of those poor distressed People.

Il ritratto di Morland fu dipinto da P. Lilly e inciso da Pierre Lombart (1612/13-1681). Forse è a lui che si devono anche le 26 immagini deel libro di Morland che ricompariranno nel libro di Jean Léger del 1669? Il fatto di essere un protestante francese morto in data successiva al 1669 potrebbe indicare il tramite attraverso cui le "gravures" sono arrivate a Léger (magari quando era a Parigi?) [Daniele Tron].
