VIII. would stand, according to Foxe's arrangement, at page 603, and is repre-

sented by him as their apology for joining in the proceedings of Thursday and Friday, June 13th and 14th, a.d. 1303. The internal evidence, however, of the letter itself shows that it has no reference to those proceedings whatever. The note of time (page 592, line 12), "Tuesday, the 10th of this present month of April," [" hac die Martis 10 pr;esentis mensis Aprilis," — Dupuy, Prynne,] is alone sufficient to prove that it belongs to a.d. 1302. (See Nicolas's Tables.) It is proper to inform the reader, that Foxe's text has "Wednesday," instead of "Tuesday," which fits the year 1303; and perhaps this was tlie reason why " Wednesday " was written, " die Martis " being su])posed to be a blunder for " die Mercurii." But the letter concludes also, " Datum Parisiis, die Martis priedicta."
Page 594, line 21. " These things," &c.] — It may be proper to inform the reader, that, in reply to the foregoing letter of the French bishops, Boniface reproached them for suflTering Peter Flotte to utter such " calumnies." The pro- posed council met at Rome Oct. 3d, and tln-ee representatives of the French church were there in spite of the king's prohibition ; the result was the bull "Unam Sanctam ;" also a bull excommunicating all who should hinder persons going to or returning from Rome, dated Nov. 13th. Boniface scut Jean Ic Moine, cardinal- priest of St. Marcclline, as his legate into France, Nov. 24th. Philip then wrote a conciliatory letter to Boniface, which was not satisfactory to him, as appears from his answer to the earl of Valois, Philip's brother, dated " 6Cal. ]\Iartii, pontif. anno 9 :" i. e. Feb. 21th, a. d. 1303. Bonifaco then threatens to proceed against Piiilipboth with the temporal and spiritual sword. At length Gillcaume de Nogaret brings forward his protest and appeal, March 12tli.
Page 597, note (1).] — Foxe's copy gives 30 articles, the reason of which is, that he divides some of the articles differently.
Page 598, § 5.] — Arnold of Villa Nova is mentioned at page 510.
Page 602.] — As the reader may feel curious to see the original of this list of French ecclesiastical dignitaries, it is here given; the final "sis" of course requires to be added to complete each adjective. I'he modern names of the sees are derived from Gallia Christiana, and Fabricii Lu,v Eva}igcUi Exoriens.
