Jo/iftniics P/i/!ippi yl/ciii(i?/iius, and was finished only a few days after it ; the " Quadriiogns " having been finished March 27tli, and tlie " Libcl- lus" April 2d, as the Colophons show. In the Biitish Muse-mn the two are bound together in the same volume. This was the edition which Foxe used : it contains two or tiiree errors, which are corrected in later editions.
Considerable pains have been taken to verify and correct the numerous refer- ences to Scripture and to the canon and civil law, which are very corrupt : it is believed that all have been discovered, except one or two references to the civil law.
PageGl;}, line 7.] — " Ad diem octavarum festi sancti Andrcte, proxime ven- turuni." .\t the end of this summons, in the printed copies, is subjoined — " die Veneris 15 Decembris;" whence Foxe inserts in the hody of his translation of it "the fifteentli day of December," instead of the date expressed in the Latin. Why this second date was foisted in, will be shown in the note on ])age G;55, line 3G. Fleury expresses the date nearer, though not exactly, to the Latin, " /iiiilic'ine jour de Decembre." See the note in p. G19.

See Gallia Christiana; which says that he spoke in this debate " die Veneris, 22 Dec. 1329, and 8 Jan. 1330." He was translated to Rouen 12 Dec. 1330; made Cardinal a.d. 1338; and became Pope Clement VI. a.d. 1312; died a.d. 1352. Francis Petrarcha speaks highly of his talents, and particularly of his memory, which (he states) could not forget anything. Petrarcha attributes this facidty to a blow which he had received on his head! — Gallia Christiana, tom. xi. xii.
Page 620, line 6 from the bottom.] — The archbi-hop of Sens seems to have conjectured the reference to Augustine " on Romans xiii." from a comparison of the heading of the Canon — " Item Augustinus sermone 6 de verbis Domini," with the opening of the Canon itself, " Qui resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi rcsistit," &c. The passage which the Canon recites does not occur in Augus- tine on Romans xiii. but " in Sermone 72 in Matt, viii." (See the note in this Appendix on page 15G, note (1).)

Page 635, line 36. " On the Fridai/ next but one, being Deccinher the twcntij- ninth."'] — Foxe calls this " the Friday following," which, according to the course of the previous narrative, would bring us to December 22nd, the last day men- tioned being Friday, December 15th, (p. 019.) And accordingly Gallia Christiana in the account of Peter Bertrand says, " Egit primo Hogerius apud Vicenas. Deinde die 2'2nd Decemhris subscquenie Petrus noster dixit in Palatio Kegis, Parisiis, et sexagiiita articulis a Cygnerio objectis sigiilatiiu i-espondit." Fleiny also says, " Le Vendredi mtivant, vingt deuxieme de Decembre." It is certain, however, that this session was held on December 29th ; for v/hen the bishop of Autun proceeds to reply to ihe articles sigillatim, the " Libellus" says, "Deinde prajfatui dominus Eduensis E[)isc. ad finem prasdictum, videlicet ad iuformandam conscienliam doinini regis et ad pra-standum consilium, &c. . . . ai singulos arti- culos sic respondit, et divisit articulos traditos in tres partes ; quia quidam
articuli tangebani jura ecclesite perpetua &c quos erant parati defenders
sicut B. Thomas Canluariensis Episcopus, ciijus festnm erat ilia die, jura ecclesiae defenderat." Thomas Becket'sday was December 29tb. The first Editor of the Libellus (if not some previous copyist), aware of this, endeavoured to pull the previous proceedings onwards, by appending to the parliamentary sum- mons— "die Veneris 15 Decemhris;" as ii to intmiate that the parliament did not get to business till that day*, instead of December the 7th or Sth. But the fact is that the Latin date of the present session has been mihunderstood — "Altera autem die Veneris immediate subsequenti, videl. die 29 Decemb. :" where "Altera die \'eneris immediate subsequenti" means the second, not the next, Friday following. " Proximus, alter, tertius. — Cic." (Ainsworth.) " Immediate sulDsequenti " is added, to prevent "altera " from being taken to mean indefinitely some other, another, Friday ; and limits it to mean the next but one. Where the Friday next i'oUowing is meant, as at pp. 619, 637, the " Libellus" says simply, " dies Veneris sequens," and "post haec die Veneris sequenti." We may suppose the long interval of a fortnight to have been required for the celebration of Christmas; and this will also account for the bishop of Autun's repeating at such length the arguments of the archbishop of Sens, which might easily have been forgotten during tlie Christmas celebration.
Page 635, line 28 from the bottom.] — Peter Bertrand was created bishop of Autun about a.d. 1319. He was eminent for his knowledge of law, both canon and civil. For the talent which he displayed on the present occasion the king himself paid him the compliment of allowing him to put a stem of lilies on his coat of arms. He died .July 23d, a.d. 134S or 1349. (Gallia Christiana, torn, iv.) His title is August odunensis, or Eduensis, from Augusto- dumnn, the Latin name of Autun, which was the capital of the ancient Edui.

Tiiere was no other vacancy in the see of York till the death of (ireenfield, December 6th a.d. 1315. It seems most natural to suppose that Edward I. left the dispute as a legacy to his son, and that the pope made a fresh attempt on the inexperience of the young king : who seems, however, to have defended and confirmed his father's appointment with considerable spirit. The notes on page 702 will prove this last supposition to be correct.

Proyins is a village (once a very important place) eighteen leagues south of Paris, in Brie.

He was of Jewish parents, but, on embracing Christianity, entered among the Franciscans at Verncuil, in 1291. Having remained there some time he was sent to Paris, where he applied with the greatest diligence to his studies, and was admitted to the degree of Doctor. He was author of ' Postils,' or a com- mentary on the whole Bible, which occupied him seven years in accomplishing. The Rev. .James Smith, a man of considerable learning, who was educated for the Romish priesthood at Lisbon, but afterwards became a Protestant clergy- man, in a valuable work published by him in 1777 on 'The Errors of the Church of Rome ' says that Lyra ' was one of the most celebrated commen- tators on the Scripture, of the fourteenth century.' ' It is no inconsiderable praise that, by the general soundness and justness of his expositions he attracted the admiration, and contributed probabl}' in some measure to the in- struction, of Luther and of his great coadjutors in the work of the Reformation.' Luther said of him in reference to his work, ' Ego Lyranum ideo amo et inter optimos pono, quod ubique diligenter retinet et persequitur historiam, quan auctoritate patruin se vinci patitur, et nonnunquam eorum exemplo deflectit a proprietate sentcniiaj ad ineptas allegorias.' The best edition of Lyra's Com- mentary is that of Antwerp, 1634, in six vols, folio: it is also found in the Bihlia Maxima, edited by Father de la Haye in nineteen vols, folio. Lyra was also the ai\thor of ' Moralia,' or ' Moral Commentaries upon the Scriptures.'

' Foxe renders " levata" bunds, whicli makes nonsense. The translation,of' tliis article adopted in the text is Mr. Maitland's, who rightly observes that " levata " is to be understood in the nearly obsolete sense of the Knglish word lijlcil, i. e. tahen and carried off ; in which he is confirmed by Car])entier's Su])plcment to Ducange, " Lcvare, abducere, Fr. enlever, lever."

Page 686, note (2).] — In the foregoing paragraph, Foxe has been misled by his authorities to say, that the truce of Tournay was prolonged for " three years" more : but see the king's proclamations in Rymcr, dated June 18th and September 27th a.d. 1311, announcing the extension of that truce first to August 2'Jth, and then to June 21th a.d. 1342. This extension of the truce of Tournay has evidently been confounded with the truce of Malestroit, which is not distinctly mentioned by Foxe, and lias been of necessity introduced into his text at p. 090. (See the note on page 690, note (2).)

The penalty attached to transgression — " im- prisonment and losing his life" — is that stated by Walsiiigham, and no doubt by the " Chronicon Albanense ;" but it is not correct: see the Extracts from the Parliamentary Rolls 18 Ed. III. at p. 781, line 20. Rapin has been betrayed into the same mistake.
Page 689.] — Foxe, at the top of this page, correctly informs us that the ensuing letter was addressed to the pope by " the nobles and commons," and it was written originally in French. Hence it tallies with the allusion at page 787, § xii. to some such letter as having been once sent by the nobles and connnons of England to the pope : it is rather singular, however, that Foxe heads it — " Letter of the King of England and of the Nobles and Connnons of the same," &c. That this heading is incorrect sufficiently appears from the opening of the letter itself: and the allusion at page 787, § xii. would lead us to look for any such letter from the king in Latin, not in French. And certainly the king was not wanting in the business : for, besides a letter dated Clarendon, July 23d, " ad Vicecomites Anglias contra Provisiones Pa])ales,"grovmded on the petition of the Commons at the parliament convoked at Westminster, "in Quindena Paschic;" he also addressed one "ad Papam," dated Westminster, August 30th — '"de regno per exercitus Provisorum invaso," and Jilluding to the complaints of the recent parliament at Westminster on the subject: also another "ad Pajjain," dated Westminster, Sept. 10th, referring again to the petition of the Connnons in the last parliament, and

It appears from these letters, that the two cardinals mentioned in the text were Ademar Robert, a Frenchman, priest-cardinal of St. Anastasia, and Gerard Domai', the pope's own nephew, priest-cardinal of St. Sabine : these two were created together, a.d. 1342. (Moreri, v. Cardinal.) The Parliamentary Rolls of the same year, 17 Ed. III. (see the top of page 781), speak also of two cardinals as having been amply provided for, but one of them was cardinal Talleyrand de Perigord; so that these were a totally fresh pair.
Page 690, note (2).] — This paragraph is added to the text, being necessary to connect the narrative, and to explain a subsequent allusion to " the truce of Vannes " in the next page, which would be unintelligible without this para- graph. The aggressions which led to this expedition of Edward were com- mitted by the French king on the expiration of the prolonged truce mentioned at page 680, which terminated June 24th, 1342, but which Foxe and his au- thority said was to last for three years, evidently confounding it with this truce of Vannes or Malestroit.

Page 690, note (4). " Within the time of this year, pence, halfpence, and farthinc/s," &c.] — The following passage from Rapin's remarks on the coinage at the end of the reign of Edward III. will serve to explain what is meant by this statement : " In the eighteenth year, every pound weight of gold of this (a given) standard, was to be coined into fifty florences at six shillings a-piece, which made in all fifteen pounds, or into a proportionable number of half and quarter florences . . . Fabian calls the floren a penny, the half floren a half- penny, and the quarter a farthing, of gold. .'\nd these words are often met with in old histories and accompts, applied to several coins, as reals, angels, etc. where it is to be understood by denarius, the whole ; by obolus, the half; and by quadrans, the fourth part, or farthing." See supra, p. 578, line 16 from the bottom.

Page 694, note (!)•] — The Latin of the passage in the text runs thus: — " Post adventum vero dicti Domini Regis apud Pussiacnm, prajfatus magister Michael Northburgh, valens clericus, de consiliariis dicti Dcmini Regis cxistens et continue progrediens cum eodeni, progressnm ipsius Domini Regis et Anglorum gesta a Pussiaco usque villam de Caleys scripsit in hunc modum : '' Salutz, voilletz savoir, &c." (Avesbury, p. 136.) Walsingham by " prae- fatus " does not refer to the writer of the last letter (as Foxe represents), but to the writer of a previous letter not mentioned by Foxe, detailing the march from La Hogue to Caen and the battle at Caen : that letter Avesbury thus introduces (p. 121) : — " Deinde progrediens versus Cadamum, Magister Michael de Northburgh, valens clericus, de consiliariis dicti Domini Regis Anglorum existens, et progrediens cum eodem, ipsius Regis adventum ibidem et pro- gressnm versus Cadanumi scripsit in haec verba ; De progressu Regis /higlia: de Jlogges usque Cadamum. Fait a remembrez," &c. It is plain, then, that that letter and this were written in French by Michael de Northburgh, "valens clericus, "t consUiar'i'is Domini Regis;" but that tiie intermediate Latin letter was written by a difierent person, who was the king's confessor, conjectured in the last note to have been Thomas Bradwardine.
Page 695, note(l).] — Foxe reads, " the earl of Northampton and the earl of Norfolk ;" Avesbury reads, " le Counte de Nortliampton et les Countes de Northfolk etWarewik;" but it is certain there was no earl of Norfolk at this time. (Dugdale's Baronage). Mr. Barnes therefore proposes to read with Mirimouth Suffolk for Norfolk ; and this reading is adopted in the text.
Page 695, note (2).] — The following is Foxe's text above, which evidently needed correction : — "After the siege and winning of Poissy, the third day of September, a.d. 1346, the king through the midst of France directed his passage unto Calais, as by the tenor of this letter you hear, and besieged the same ; which siege he continued from the third of September aforesaid," &c.

But Avesbury presently after says, " dicti meiisls Jti/ii " and he gives a letter of Edward to the archbishoj) of Canterburj-, relating this whole affair, in which he says that Philip came the Fridaj' before the Gule of Augimt, i. e. Julg 27th, in the year 1347 (by Nicolas's Tables). It is clear, therefore, that Avesbury intended to say " Jn/ii " instead of " Junii."

Page 701.] — The first account of the battle of Poictiers was addressed by the Black Prince to his former preceptor or tutor, Reginald Bryan, bishop of Wor- cester, in a letter written in French, so remarkable for its piety, modesty, and politrncss, tiiat if Foxe had known such a letter was (and is still) extant in the archives of the dean and tha])tcr of Worcester, he would hardly have failed to transcribe it, and tmbody it in his work.

APPENDIX TO vol.. II. 911
" Reverend Father in God, and most dear friend, we thank you heartily, because we are informed tliat you are so well and so sincerely attached to us, in offering up your prayers to God for us and for our expedition ; and we are very certain, that on account of the devout prayers of you and others, God has been pleased to assist us in all our exigencies, for which we are daily bound to return Him our thanks, praying, at the same time, that you would on your part continue to behave towards us as you have done hitherto, for which we hold ourselves highly obliged to you. And, reverend father, as to our condition, of which we suppose youdesii-e, of your good will, to hear some account, be pleased to know that at the writing of this letter we were well in health, ha])py, and every way in good condition, praised be God! May He at all times cause us to hear and know the same of you, and that you will be pleased to certify us by your letters, and by such persons as pass to and fro, as often as you conve- niently can. As to the news in these parts, be pleased to know, that on the Eve of the translation of St. Thomas of Canterbury, we began to ride with our forces towards the parts of France, and principally because we had received intelligence of the arrival of our most honoured lord and father, the king, there, in Berry, Orleans, and Tours ; and having also received intelligence that the king of France, with a great number of forces near the borders, was coming to give us battle, we approached so near them that an engagement ensued between us in such sort that the enemy were discomfited, praised be God ; and the said king and his son and many other persons were taken and killed ; the names of whom we send you by our most dear knight, Roger de Cottesford, the bearer of these letters.
" Reverend Father in God, and our very dear friend, may the Holy Spirit have you daily in his keeping !
" Given under our private seal at Bourdeaux, the lOih day of October.
[This letter was delivered to Reginald de Brienne, bishop of Worcester, at Alvechurch, December 1356, with a schedule containing the names of the prisoners and slain in the aforesaid engagement.] Superscribed, " To the Rev. Father in God, the Bishop of Worcester."
Page 702, note (1).] — This passage confirms the conjecture thrown out in the note on p. 642, viz. that it was Edward I. and not Edward II. who presented his clerk to the treasurership of York during the vacancy of the see, and that Edward II. only inherited from his father the dispute which grew out of that appointment. It will appear in the next note to this, that Edward III. inhe- rited the very same quarrel. Dr. Brady bears his testimony to the existence of letters in the Records of the very nature here described, and addressed to the same individuals as those whom Foxe mentions.
Page 702, note (2).] — The king's letter to the pope is printed in Rymer, dated Westminster, 14th Dec. 4 Ed. III. It is also given by Dr. Brady, vol. ii. Appendix No. 97, from " Rot. Romse " 4 Ed. III. n. 2. It appears from the letter itself, that Walter de Bedewynd had been presented by Edward's grandfather " ratione vacationisarchiepiscopatus," and "perprivationem domini Johannis de Columna ;" that the pope originally wanted to annul the king's presentation of Walter, in favour of Cardinal Francis Gayta (Cajetan), who was his own nephew ; but that the said Walter de Bedewynd had, notwith- standing, continued in possession of the office ever since till now, when " ex causa permutationis " he had resigned it to William de la Mare, [iut the pope assuming that in consequence of the exclusion of Cardinal Gayta by Edward I. the office had been ever since vacant, he wanted now to disturb tlie new occupant, De la Mare, and to put in by provision, one Peter, cardinal of St. Stephen in Ccelio Monte. — Francis Cajetan was created deacon-cardinal of St. Mary in Cosmedin, a.d. 1295, died a..d. 1317. — Moreri, v.

On referring to the " Secunda Dictio seu Pars" of the " Defensor Pacis," cap. 19, the matter is thus stated : — " Nullam scriptu- ram irrevocabiliter veram credere vel fateri tencmur de necessitate salutis seternse, nisi eis qute canonicaj appellantur, vel eis qua? ad has ex necessitate sequuntur, aut scripturarum sacrarum sensum dubium habentium eis interpre- tationibus seu determinationibus quae per generate fidelium seu catholicorum

And he procords to sav, afterwards, " Quod vero ipsaruni interjiretaiionihus, sic f'actis ut dixinuis, eadeni sit pra?standacrodul:tas [qute sacris scripturis ipsis] ostendcre possunius." His proof is, tlie promise, " J.o, I am witli you always, even to tlie end of the world ;" a promise which he considers to be jjeculiarly the property of a general council. .Marsihus. therefore, cannot be considered quite so clear on the Rule of Faith as miglit be inferred from Foxe's language in the text. Milner (Cent. 14, chap, i.) speaks rather hesitatingly of his claim to be numbered among the genuine Reformers, though he, with others nicntiored by Illyricns and Foxe, very vigorously resisted the papal encroachments on the imperial jurisdiction.
Page 710, note (1).]— The text (ed. 1583, p. 391) makes Antoninus say " that they were condemned in the Extravagant of Pope John, with one Johannes de Poliaco." Illyricns says, " Damnatus est (M. Ccsenas) cum Joanne quodam propria bulla, in Extravagantibns Joan. 22. Antoninus Flo- ri'uiinus sic in quarta parte Summje de hisce proxiniis duobus et de Petro de Co- baria scribit : ' In Extravagante Joan. 22 qvre incipit DuJinn ah audientin, &'c. reprobantur ut hiereses errores Petri de Corbaria, Joannis, et Michelini ordinis Minorum, qui pertinaciter asserebant,' &c. . . Ilactenus Antoninus." If the " Joliannes" here mentioned means "Johannes de Poliaco," the state- ment of Illyricns is more correct than that of .Antoninus, for he was condemned propria bulla, in a separate bull by himself, " Vas electionis " in the Extrava- gantes Communes.

Among these processes there is one (cols. G52 — fiGO) ex- cimnnunicating the emperor, dated 10 Cal. April, pontificaiiis anno 8 [March 2,!, a.d. 1324]; another (cols. 727 — ~3G) making void his coronation, dated 2 Cal.

Tlie introduction of Friar Gilies, and the bishop of Amiens, is also confirmatory of this date. Du Boulay also and Crevier, in their histories of the University of Paris, and Fle>u-y, in his Eccles.

Page 713, note (1).]— Foxe's text (ed. 1.583, p. 392) says, "Neither do I thinke to be any of us prelates here now, which have not sometime bene taken out of this university of yours." Godfridus says, "Credo enim quod non sit hodie pi£elatus inter nos, qui de hac Universitate non sit assumptus ;" which Crevier and Fleury both understand to imply, that the whole French episcopal bench of that day had been educated at the University of Paris.
Page 713, note (2).] — The following extract from Gallia Christiana, torn, x., relative to this bishop of Amiens, will show his great zeal in the cause of the clergy against the friars, and illustrate the text. " Komam anno 1281 cum Simone Carnotensi episcopo nomine cleri Gallicani missus est ad obtinendam a MartinoIV. canonizationem Ludovici IX.

Page 714, note (1).] — Foxe's text says, "It was not long after, that the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle followed, in whose Vigil all the heads of the Uni- versity again were warned the third day after to congregate together in the church of St. Bernard, at the sermon time." Godfridus says, " Cjeterum in vigilia Beati Thomce iterum prrelati jjrteconizari fecerunt per scholas ut omnes dominica, tertia scilicet die, bora sermonis, ad S. Bernhard\nn convenirent." Du Boulay reads "dominica 3 scilicet die." But Fleury says " le lendemain ;" and Crevier speaks of the meeting as happening on the feast of St. Thomas, December 21st, which would fall on a Sunday in the year a.d. 1281 (by Nicolas's Tables) : Godfridus's error has been corrected in the text.
Page 714, last line but one. " Master Friar G«7/fs."]— Gilles de Columna, a Roman by birth, and a friar of the order of the Eremites of St. Augustine, has been already mentioned by Foxe, supra p. 508. He was called " Doctor fundatissimus." " A variis academiis virisque principibus expetitus, in Galliam concessit, a Philippo Audace ad Philippum filium, cognomento Pulcliruin, bonis Uteris ac moribus imbuendum evocatus : unde in Academia Parisiensi philosophiamet theologiam per plures annos summa cum laude docuit." (Cave, Hist. Litt.) He was made General of his Order in a.d. 1292, and archbishop of Bourges a.d. 1294. (See more in Cave, Moreri, and Gallia Christiana.) The introduction of his name here confirms the date assigned in the text to the dispute at Paris.

" In Froysard, as yet, have I not found rY."] — The different copies of Froysard very much vary, which may account for Foxe's not having been able to find this story about John de la Roche-Tailladc. It is, however, in the Paris edition of 1574, vol. iii. p. 77, chap, xxiv., and we have it in Lord Beiiier's translation, vol. ii. chap. 42, fol 53 ; and in Johnes's translation, vol. iii. chap. 47. John de Rupe-Scissa has been mentioned at pp. 707, 708, 710.

Page 7 18, line 8. " FroysarJ, who bath Jieard and saw him."'\ — Froysard first nicnlions tins friar in liis 1st vol. cliap. ccxi. ; and in chap. ccxv. he men- tions wbo the first of the two iindennrntioned cardinals was, viz. Peter de Colonihicr, more usually called Bertrand, in honour of his maternal uncle Peter Bertraiui, bi>hop of Autun, and called 13' rtrand the younger. He was made bishop of Anas, 1331); canlinal, 1344; bishop of Ostia, 1363.
Froysard does not appear to have heard or even seen the friar. His words, as iranslatud by Johnes, are thefc: — " It comes to my remembrance, how, in my young days, during the reign of pojie Innocent at Avignon, there was con- fined in prison a learned clerk, called triar John de la Koche-Taillade. This friar, ns I have been told by several jjrivately, for it was never talked of in public, foretold, while in prison, many (jf the great events which would happen shortly in the world, more especially those that related to France, and the mis- fortunes that were to befal the church from the pride and arrogance of those who governed it. It was said that during his imprisonment he was brought to tlie pope's palace, when the cardinal of Ostia, commonly called cardinal of Arras, and the cardinal of Auxerre, disputed with him on those subjects."
Tiie person meant by " the cardinal of Au-xerre" was Talleyrand de Perigord, made cardinal bishop of Auxerre by John XXII. a.d. 1331 : he died a.d. 1304. (See Morcri v. Cardinal.) He is referred toby Roche-Taiiladc with much respect at the conclusion of his prophecy given by Browne in his Appendix to the Fasciculus. He was one of the two cardinals who endeavoured to mediate between the English and French armies just before the battle of Poictiers, 135G, according to Walsingham ; he is mentioned infra, p. 784.

Page 749, note (1).] — In Froysard there is more in application of the fable. The following closing words out of Jolmes's translation are necessaiy : — " It was his intention that these slu uid be prudently and properly mannged, and not with pomp and ])ride as is now done : for which the Lord is wroth, and his anger will be much increased against you in times to come. Should the nobles excuse themselves from giving sup^iort to the church, and grow cold in their devotions, and perhaps retake what they had given, it must speedily be destroyed." (See the Latin in Illyrirus Flacius.) Johnes, at the end of his translation, gives many references about this friar. He considers it a witty ajiplication of vEsop's fable of the crow.

Page 752, note (1).] — Foxe is quite correct in representing the four persons just named as leading opponents of the friars. But he is mistaken in repre- senting them as the joint authors of the " de periculis ecclesiae." The real author of that treatise was Gulielmus de S. Amore, assisted by several others whom Foxe names, supra, p. 521. (See the note in this Appendix on page 520, note (1), and Usher " de Christ. Eccles. Sue. et Statu." lib. ix. §20.) Foxes statement here involves anachronism ; for Godfridus de Fontibus figured against the friars at a later period, a.d. 1281. (See p. 712.) Simon Jornalensis, or Tornacensis, (see Foxe's Prefaces to vol. i. p. xxi.) is said by Cave to have flourished a.d. 1216, and Henricus de Gandavo about the same tinre with God- fridus de Fontibus, a.d. 1280.
Page X6Ci, note (5).] — The period assigned in the text for the absence of Armachanus from England seems too long, according to the statement made in the note on p. 749.
Page 767, note (2).] — Mr. Browne, in his Appendix to the " Fasciculus" of Orthuinus Gratius, gives the foregoing sern on in the original Latin, and places it to the year 1363. That this is the true date, appears from Nicolas's Table.*, which show that in a.d. 13G3 Advent Sunday fell on December 3d,
Al'PKNDIX TO vol.. 11. .015
whence "the fourth Siuulay of Advent" would fall on December 21th, the day before Christmas day ; this sermon was also preached in the second year of po])e Urban V. [see the conclusion], who was consecrated November 6th, l.'i62. That the sermon was preaclied on tlie fourth Sunday in Advent, being the day before Christmas Eve, seems implied at page 768, line 29, and 12 from tlie bottom.
