Excerpt from Syllabus (in English) Of the Documents Relating to England and Other Kingdoms, Vol. 1: Contained in the Collection Known as "Rymer's Foedera"; 1066-1377 Mr. Thomas Rymer, and not have made thehonest man such a tool as to pick out the instruments that made for the present Civil Government to be published, while he suppressed the most material relating to the interest of the church and clergy.

Mr. Rymer, as Historiographer Royal, was appointed to collect them, and Mr. Churchill to print them, upon the public account, and (which was pity) in too small a number of cepies, for presents only and public respect, not for common sale. Mr. Rymer was obliged to trust to other bands, not only in the transcribing, but in the selecting of materials for them. When he came to review them in the single sheets he threw by several of them.
