De quo opere sic censuit Ioannes Florius:

{{Citatio3|The Greekes and Latines thanke Erasmus, and our Englishmen make much of Heywood: for proverbs are the pith, the proprieties, the proofes, the purities, the elegances, as the commonest so the commendablest phrases of a language.|Ioannes Florio|Second Fruites, "To the Reader"|Graeci et Latini Erasmo gratias agunt, Heywoodum autem Angli nostri magnificant. Proverbia enim sunt medullae, proprietates, probationes, puritates, elegantiae cuiusque linguae; sunt sententiae communissimae necnon laudatissimae.}}

His libellis multae locutiones Anglicae primum referuntur, inter quas:
