In the 'Corpus
Reformatorum,' xi. 251-257, is printed the "Oratio de Gratitudine M.
Alexandri Alesii Scoti, Decani, in promotione Magistrorum anno
M.D.XXXIV." The full title of the other is: "De Restitvendis Scholis
Oratio habita ab Alexdro (_sic_) Alesio, in celebri Academia
Fr[=a]cofordiana ad Oderam. An. M.D.XL. Mense Iunio. Francofordiae apud
Ioannem Hanaw." The dedication ends: "Francofordiae ad Oderam cal[=e]dis
Iunij. An. M.D.XL." There are only 19 leaves in this small tract.]

5. De Auctoritate Verbi Dei contra Episcopum Lundensem. 1542. [See p.
264 n.]
6. Of the Auctorite of the Word of God agaynst the Bisshop of London.
[For a full copy of the title, see p. 268 n. This small 8vo black-letter
tract of 46 leaves bears no place, date, or printer's name. In the
British Museum Catal., _Leipsic_ is given as the probable place of
printing, and 1537 as the supposed date. Perhaps the date has been
inferred from the opening sentence of the tract: "Abowt V yere agone I
wrote to the noble king of Scottys the father of my contry complanning
of a certen proclamacyon wherin the bisshops had forbidden the Holy
Scripture to be redd in the mother tong." It is rather curious that in
the Latin version this sentence runs thus; "Ante _biennium_ scripsi
inclyto regi Scotorum patri meae patriae, et questus sum de edicto quodam,
quo episcopi prohibebant lectionem sacrorum librorum lingua patria."]

9. Ordo Distributionis Sacramenti Altaris in Regno Angliae. 1548. [This
is a translation of 'The Order of the Communion,' which has been
re-printed for the Parker Society in 'The Two Liturgies of Edward VI.'
In the British Museum Catal., it is mentioned that the translator's
address to the reader is signed: 'A. A. S. D. Th.'--_i.e._, "Alexander
