Original copies of Milton's contemporary _Notes on Dr.Griffith's Sermon_ seem, as I have mentioned (ante p.

675, note), to be equally scarce with original copies of the second edition of the _Ready and Easy Way_.

They were the two last utterances of Milton before the Restoration, and so close to that event as perhaps to be sucked down in the whirlpool.

Yet, as we know for certain that the _Notes on Dr.Griffith's Sermon_ did appear, there is no need for a contrary supposition respecting the other.

Very possibly original copies of both _have_ survived somewhere; and I should be glad to hear of the fact.
