Note 2 — Chapter II
Reading edition
: There are one or two slight verbal differences between Milton's original draft, here translated, and the official copy as actually delivered to the Duke, and as printed by Morland. Thus, in the first sentence, instead of "Redditæ sunt nobis e Geneva, necnon ex Delphinatu aliisque multis ex locis ditioni vestræ finitimis, literæ," the official copy has simply "Redditæ sunt nobis multis ex locis ditioni vestæ finitimis literæ."
