500 |a Authored by Parsons; cf. introduction of Robert Persons S.J. The Christian directory (1582). Victor Houliston, ed. 1998: "There has been much confusion about... the Resolution and its indebtedness to previous authors... there are only localised traces of [Loartes'] Esercitio della vita christiana to be found in the Resolution of 1582... Persons, originally planning a modest preface to Loarte, found himself writing extensively... quite independently from him"
