 engraved by Charles Whitwell, at the expense of Robert Nicholson, and was much larger and more exact than any of Norden's other maps. It had the arms of Sir William Waade, Mr. Nicholson, and Isabella, countess dowager of Rutland, who died in 1605, and was copied by Speed and W. Kip in Camden's “Britannia,” 1607. Dr. Rawlinson showed it to the Society of Antiquaries, 1746’ (British Topography, i. 261).

There were several contemporaries of the surveyor besides his son bearing the same name, viz.: (1) John Norden of Rainham, Kent, who died in 1580 (, Kent, ii. 535; Add. MS. 32490, y y. 6); (2) a Middlesex yeoman (Chap. of Westminster Marriage License, 23 Nov. 1580, Harl. Soc. Publ. xxiii. 3); and (3) John Norden of Rowde, Wiltshire (Visitation of Wiltshire, Harl. MS. 1165, supra).

A fourth (fl. 1600), devotional author, is identified by Wood with John Norden, commoner of Hart Hall, Oxford, 1564, who graduated B.A. on 15 Feb. 1568, and M.A. 26 Feb. 1572 (Fasti Oxon. ed. Bliss, pt. i. pp. 181, 189;, Alumni Oxon. 1500–1714). He was author of: 1. ‘A Sinful Mans Solace’ (in prose and verse), 1585. 2. ‘A Pensive Mans Practise,’ 1585, 1591, 1623, 1627, 1629, 1635, 1640. 3. ‘A Mirror for the Multitude,’ 1586. 4. ‘Antithesis or Contraritie betweene the Wicked and the Godlie,’ 1587. 5. ‘A Christian familiar Comfort,’ 1596. 6. ‘Progress of Piety, or Harberer of Heartsease,’ 1596; the publication of this work at the same time as the ‘Preparative to the Speculum Britanniæ’ proves that the two authors were not identical. 7. ‘A reforming Glass,’ 1596. 8. ‘The Mirror of Honour,’ 1597. 9. ‘The Pope's Anatomye and Eliza's Glorye,’ 1597. 10. ‘Prayer for Earl of Essex in Ireland,’ 1599. 11. ‘Vicissitudo Rerum: an elegiacall Poeme,’ 1600. 12. ‘The Storehouse of Varieties,’ 1601. 13. ‘A Pensive Soules Delight’ (in verse), 1603–15. 14. ‘The Labrynth of Mans Life,’ a poem, 1614. 15. ‘Loadstone to a spiritual Life,’ 1614. 16. ‘An Eye to Heaven in Earth,’ 1619. 17. ‘Poor Mans Rest,’ 1620, 1624, 1631, 1641. 18. ‘Imitation of David,’ 1620. 19. ‘A Godlie Mans Guide to Happiness,’ 1624. 20. ‘Pathway to Patience,’ 1626. 21. ‘Help to true Blessedness,’ n.d., quoted by Wood.
