March; 1497.] BRANT. 209 He may now compare a fac-simile of an entire cut with the same subjectas represented in Pynsons edition of 1509, fol. liiii, reverse; and inW. de Wordes edition of Watsons prose abridgment of the latter may be seen copied in the second volume of the recent editionof our Typographical Antiquities, p. 219. Pynsons impression gives us,however, a better embellishment than that of W. de Fol. XXXI, recto. Few of these Cuts exhibit a greater spirit of drollery than the ensuing;which, in the original, has a back ground, and a bird flying over theleft arm of the figure. It is affixed to the article of Predestination, andhas the following verses above: VOL. III. B s 210 MISCELLANEOUS. [Basilf De prpdestinatione .Qui precium poscit quod non meruisse videtur :Atq; super fragilem ponit sua brachia cannara :Illius/ in dorso cancroru/ semita stabit :Deuolet inq; suum rictum/ satis assa columba.
