- Notes:
- Attributed as a whole to John Frith in part 1, which is sometimes attributed to Thomas Goad. Part 2, "The preparation to the Crosse and to death", is a reprint of "Of the preparation to the Crosse, and to deathe", 1540 (STC 11393), translated by and sometimes attributed to Richard Tracy as well as to Frith. Part 3, "A mirrour, or, glasse to know thy selfe" and "A briefe instruction, to teach a person willingly to die, and not to feare death", is a reprint of Frith's "A letter wryten unto the faythful folowers of Christes Gospell" (1548-49? STC 11385.5). Part 4, "The treasure of knowledge", is a revision of the anonymous "The fountayne or well of lyfe" (STC 11211), not by Frith.
