Alas, Mr. Farey's chagrin arising on p. 6 of Roper's "Cryptology"
(see corrected URL below) is
dispelled when reading p. 7 where the solution of a *second* encrypted
text is explained:

The message does NOT "*start off*" with the indicated text; but as
Roper explains on p. 7: "[9] A second layer of proof confirming
Shakespeare's identity with the Earl of Oxford does exist within
the cipher text." It involves the text "With Whome Qvick Natvre Dide".
This leads to the Latin SUM DE VE RE NATU which in English may
be read as "I AM DE VERE BY BIRTH" which reasonably and
sensibly precedes "SO TEST HIM: I VOW HE IS E DE VERE AS
HE SHAKSPEARE; ME, B.I."

The reader is encouraged to avail him- or herself of Roper's full
explanation of the decipherment of Ben Jonson's cipher on
the Stratford Monument.
