Ascribed to John Bodenham, who probably projected the work and befriended the editor, the "A. B." (as yet unidentified) who signed the dedication and prefatory sonnet in the first edition. More recent authorities ascribe the work to "L. N." who signs the preface, "L. N." being the transposed initials of Nicholas Ling. Cf. Introd.; also Dict. nat. biog.
