TO MDCCCXX. WITH AN APPENDIX CONTAINING SPECIMENS OF TRANSLATIONS, AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTIONS. REV. HENRY COTTON, D. C. L. LATE STUDENT OP CHRIST CHURCH, OXFORD. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS. MDCCCXXI. TO THE MEMORY OF THAT FRIEND, TO WHOM, UNDER PROVIDENCE, I AM INDEBTED FOR EVERY THING EXCEPT MY BIRTH, DR. CYRIL JACKSON, DEAN OF CHRIST CHURCH, OXFORD, THE PRESENT PUBLICATION IS WITH EVERY FEELING OF GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE INSCRIBED. INTRODUCTION. Instead of enticing the reader into a long discussion upon the widely extended topics, of the awful importance of the Scrip- tures, of the interesting feelings and recollections excited by an inquiry into the early history of our vernacular translations, or of the charms which bibliography, in any shape or quantity, has for the modern student ; I shall beg to be allowed to consider these points as abundantly settled in other places, and shall here con- tent myself with stating shortly the nature of this publication, the manner of its execution, and the object which it has in view. Whatever information could be gleaned from various sources, respecting the authors and editors of the several English transla^ tions which have from time to time been made, either of the whole Scriptures, or of certain portions of them, has been collect- ed, with much industry and diligence, by Mr. Lewis, and pub- lished in his " History of the English Translations of the Scrip- " tures." This work, in the prosecution of which Lewis was materially assisted by Dr. Waterland, was first printed, with WiclifFe's version of the New Testament, in 1731, in folio: was pubhshed afterwards by itself, with improvements, in 1738, in 8vo. and reprinted at London in 1818, 8vo. The first part of the book discusses the ancient manuscript versions of the Scrip- tures ; the labours of Abbot JElfric, of Richard of Hampole, of Wicliffe and his followers: the remainder is occupied in de- scribing the translations which were made and printed from the reign of Henry VIII. to the year 1729- To this latter part of Mr. Lewis's work, the present pam- phlet is intended to be an appendix : enumerating all the edi- tion^ which can be ascertained of each translation, and specifying the repositories, public or private, in which copies of them may a3 vi INTRODUCTION. be found. These two particulars, although occasionally attended to by Lewis, yet, as they formed no prominent part of his plan, are given with less fulness and accuracy. He does indeed de- scribe the most remarkable editions, and incidentally mentions the possessors of them ; but still, as I said, his objects are rather new translations, and translators, than editors or mere reprints. I do not call this tract a Supplement, for I offer no historical re- marks ; either respecting translations and editions which have appeared since Mr. Lewis's day, or respecting those which he may have accidentally or intentionally omitted in his work. That there is ample room for such a supplement, and more- over, that it is much wanted, there can be no doubt : it is more surprising, that Mr. Lewis has been able to give us so much in- formation as he has done, than that it should be incomplete, and certain parts of it erroneous. The five and thirty years imme- diately succeeding the first appearance of any part of the English Scriptures in print, namely, from the time when the doctrines of Luther began to be known in this realm, to the settlement of Elizabeth on the throne ; although they comprise by far the most interesting period of our ecclesiastical history, and furnished to Mr. Lewis the most numerous and valuable materials ; yet at the same time presented to him difficulties of no ordinary kind. The earlier editions of the New Testament, which the people now be- gan to demand with eagerness, were produced, imported, and dispersed, with silence and secrecy. For as yet the task was not without imminent danger ; the tenets of the Reformation were in- deed gaining ground throughout the nation, but a powerful and active party was incessantly at work to counteract them. The King too, although it has been supposed that his sentiments were decidedly in favour of allowing a free circulation of the Scrip- tures in the vulgar tongue, yet from his repeated waverings, and general caprlciousness, could not be depended upon as a pro- tector. No man could certainly tell in the evening what would be the royal will, and consequently the national creed, on the following day. No man could divine which feeling was likely to predominate, the fierce denial of the Pope's supremacy, or the fear of sedition among the people : whether, in short, the star of Cranmer or of Gardiner would be in the ascendant. Under these circumstances the publication of the Scriptures in English could INTRODUCTION. vii not go on without much difficulty ; the printers in England were afraid to undertake it ; the books, as soon as they appeared, were studiously and captiously examined ; every kind of heresy, and every seed of sedition, was declared to be contained in them ; the slightest oversight or error was denounced as pregnant with mischief* : the people were cautioned to flee the perusal of them as so much poison, and the volumes themselves were required to be delivered up to the officers of justice, and by them were com- mitted to the flames. Again, as Tyndale and his fellow-labourers proceeded, the same cry was raised, the same destructive violence was resorted to ; so that of the several editions of Tyndale's first translation, it is difficult to find even a fragment, much less a per- fect copy. Of course, it was to no purpose that he raised his voice in jus- tification of his motives and proceedings. His opponents were not disposed to discuss by arguments that which they had been able to put down by the strong hand of power. Yet to those who were willing to hear him coolly and impartially, there was, in his reasoning in defence of himself, an air of sincerity as well as zeal, a tone and manner modest, unassuming, and conciliatory : " Moreover," says he, (in an address occasioned by George Joye's unauthorized alteration of his translation,) " moreover, I " take God, which alone seeth the heart, to record to my con- " science, beseeching him that my part be not in the blood of " Christ, if I wrote of all that I have written throughout all my " book, ought of an evil purpose, of envy or malice to any man, " or to stere up any false doctrine or opinion in the Church of " Christ, or to be author of any sect, or to draw disciples after " me, or that I would be esteemed or had in price above the " least child that is born, save only of pity and compassion I had " and yet have on the bhndness of my brethren, and to bring " them unto the knowledge of Christ, and to make every one of » " As for my translation in whichc " moch as one I therin if it lacke » ty- " they aiferme unto the laye people (as " tie over his hed, hut they have noted " 1 have hearde saye) to be I wotte not " it, and nombre it unto the ignorant " how many thousande heresyes, so that " people for an heresy." Tyndale's " it cannot be mended or correcte, they Preface to his Translation of the Pen- " have yet taken so greate payne to ex- tateuch. " amyue it, &c. that there is not so a 4 vlli INTRODUCTION. " them, if it were possible, as perfect as an angel of heaven, and " to weed out all that is not planted of our heavenly Father, and " to bring down all that lifteth up itself against the knowledge of " the salvation that is in the blood of Christ. " Also, my part be not in Christ, if mine heart be not to fol- " low and live according as I teach ; and also if mine heart weep " not night and day for mine own sin and other mens indifferent- " ly, beseeching God to convert us all, and to take his wrath " from us, and to be merciful as well to all other men, as to mine " own soul, caring for the wealth of the realm I was born in, for " the King and all that are thereof, as a tender-hearted mother " would do for her only son. " As concerning all I have translated or otherwise written, I " beseech all men to read it for that purpose I wrote it : even to " bring them to the knowledge of the Scripture. And as far as " the Scripture approveth it, so far to allow it; and if in any " place the word of God disallow it, then to refuse it, as I do be- " fore our Saviour Christ and his congregation. And where " they find faults, let them shew it me, if they be nigh, or write " to me, if they be far off: or write openly against it and improve " it, and I promise them if I shall perceive that their reasons " conclude, I will confess mine ignorance openly." But all this, and much more, fair and reasonable as it seems, could neither turn the tide nor stem it. The translations of Tyndale, though revised and corrected, were still adjudged to be heretical and dangerous : whatever bore his name was forbidden, and when the - sacred text itself could no longer be withholden from the people, all prologues or annotations, by whomsoever written, were ordered to be utterly removed from it. This is the reason why among the earlier editions which have reached our days, by far the greater part are mutilated and defaced : it is also the cause of much uncertainty and consequent confusion in describing them. In fact, I have been led into this digression from a wish of accounting, in some degree, for the want of clear- ness and precision which is often imputed to Lewis ; and of show- ing, that however true the censure be, the fault could not altoge- ther be avoided. At present, of the four (or perhaps Hve) editions of Tyndale's first translation, I am unable to offer an accurate and satisfactory distinction : of his second, there are three editions of INTRODUCTION. ix the year 1534i, besides that of George Joye : of 1536 there are at least three or four : all these it is not easy to distinguish and describe sufficiently ; for, in the first place, they cannot often be found in a perfect state ; and, secondly, they lie dispersed in va^ rious places, so as not to admit of being brought under the eye at one and the same time. To many, perhaps, this last circum- stance may appear to be of small importance, but in reality this is not the case : those who are in the habit of comparing copies or editions, know well how treacherous the memory is apt to be in such cases : how frequently the volume which we are examin- ing to day seems to be exactly similar to that which we inspected yesterday, when in truth the difiference is considerable ; and how extremely difficult it is, without actual juxta^position, to catch the minute and trifling varieties which are sometimes the only criteria of an edition. Even in more recent periods than those which I have mentioned, the bibliography of the English Scrip- tures is not without its doubtful points. I am yet to learn whether we now possess any copy of the edition of the Great Bible, which Grafton and Whitchurch began to print at Paris about 1538, and of which " about four dry fats full" were, by the covetous- ness of an officer, saved from the fires of the Inquisition. Thus also there is some little uncertainty about the editions of Cran- mer's Bible, which bear date 1541. Some being finished in May, others in November, of that year. I have myself little doubt, that the edition said to be finished in May is no other than the edition of 1540 ; the last leaf of which might for some reason or other have been reprinted : but whether this be the case or not, the edition of November is certainly different from either of them. As to the circumstance, occurring in these and in other instances, of some copies bearing the name of one printer, as " Richard " Grafton," while others bear " Edward Whitchurch," it is by no means to be taken for proof of a twofold edition: the judgment of Humphrey Wanley, that the name of each book- seller was appended to his share of the copies, can scarcely fail of being accurate, and is 'moreover confirmed by what occurs in an edition of Matthew's Bible, printed in 1551. In the library of Trinity College, Oxford, there is a copy of this edition, the last leaf of which bears the following colophon : " Imprynted at Lon- " don by Nicolas Hyll, dwelling in Saynct John's Streate, at the X INTRODUCTION. " coste and charges of certayne honest menne of the occupacyon, " whose names be upon their bokes."" Accordingly the names of not fewer than four booksellers are found, each by itself, upon this edition. Another thing to be observed is, that it is by no means un- common to see ancient Bibles, which either from public or private wear have become mutilated, supplied by leaves taken from a different edition: nay, it may easily happen, from a different translation also ; for in these cases the size and type are the things principally considered. Here then is another ground both of care in purchasing and of caution in describing. I have seen in- stances of both these kinds in Bibles, where sometimes the title, sometimes the last leaf, has been jumbled into strange and unex- pected company : but perhaps a more curious instance of such shifting of titles is not to be found, than is at present to be seen in the Bodleian Library at Oxford : some years ago a volume was purchased as " Davies' Athense Britannicae,'" and is entered in the printed catalogue as such : but in fact the title alone an- swers to the entry, for the entire remainder of the volume consists of an history of pamphlets ! One remaining source of perplexed description in Lewis is, what may happen to any one, and does in fact happen to us all, viz. that not being able by the utmost diligence to examine every article with our own eyes, we depend in many instances on the kind assistance of friends : but as in these communications from various quarters an uniformity cannot be expected, the same ar- ticle may perhaps reach us under so great a variety of description, as to be accounted really and truly two instead of one. Thus is it frequently in Lewis ; perhaps not less so in his follower. But it is time to have done with Mr. Lewis, (whom in good truth I had not meant to take up at so much length,) and to give the reader some account of the performance which is now sub- mitted to him. The lists, similar to the present, which have al- ready appeared, and of which I have constantly availed myself wheresoever actual inspection was not within my reach, are the following : 1. " A hst of various editions of the Bible and parts thereof " in EngUsh ; from the year 1526 to 1776. from a MS. (N°- " 1140.) in the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth, much en- INTRODUCTION. xi " larged and improved." Of this list, which consists of a single 8". sheet, without a title-page, two hundred and fifty copies were privately printed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, at the press of Mr. Bowyer, in 1776. In it the editions of the Psalms are in- termixed with those of the Bible. 2. " A list, &c. (as before) a manuscript list of English Bibles, " copied from one compiled by the late Mr. Joseph Ames, " presented to the Lambeth library by Dr. Gifford, hath fur- " nished some part of this publication : later discoveries of seve- " ral learned gentlemen have supplied the rest. London, 1778." In 8°. thirty-seven leaves, printed only on one side. In this list, which was also printed (by Bowyer) for presents only, the Psalms are placed in chronological order by themselves : an arrangement which, as being more distinct, I have thought it best to follow. These two compilations are generally known by the name of " Dr. Ducarel's Lists," being thought to be of his composition ; but I some time ago fell in with a copy of each of them, formerly belonging to Mark Cephas Tutet, Esq. and containing in his own hand-writing the explanation which is given below : the former of those notes being prefixed to the edition of 1776, the latter to that of 1778 b. ' 1. " This list (down to the year i6oo " rors and editions multiplied without " only) was made by me more than " number. A fair copy of my list I " twenty years ago, merely for my own " gave to Dr. Ducarel, and 250 copies " use ; but at the latter end of last year " have been printed for presents only. " Dr. Ducarel requested me to continue " Whoever will compare this printed ** it to that time, in order to be printed '* list with the MS. one in the Lambeth " at tlie expence of the Archbishop of " library, will find a great difference, as " Canterbury. I accordingly did in a "I omitted many pretended editions in- " hasty manner bring the list down to " serted by Dr. Gifford.

Mr. Pike, 17^0. W. Green, xii INTRODUCTION. 3. " The Lambeth list enlarged and improved by the Rev. " Clement Crutwell, prefixed to his edition of the Bible, with " Bp. Wilson's notes, published at Bath in lYSS." Several edi- tions which appear in the former lists are left out from this, probably because the editor was not satisfied of their existence ; but I have not considered myself justified in adhering to Mr. CrutwelFs omissions, since it may well happen that others may be fortunate enough to meet with editions which have not been seen by him or by me. 4. Mr. Tutet's hst, N°. 2, continued to the year 1792, with a notice of two manuscript versions : attached to Abp. Newcome's historical view of the English biblical translations, printed at Dublin, 8°. 1792. 5. A reprint of N°. 4, with a scanty supplement brought down to the year 1816, appended to a republication of Lewis's history of the English translations, 8°. London, 1818. Neither the edi- tor of this last list, nor of N°. 4, appear to have seen that of Mr. Crutwell. In all of these the editions are arranged in chronological order, and in the four last, the Psalms form a separate class. I have judged both these arrangements to be most conducive to perspi- cuity, and as such have adopted them. With respect to the ta- bular or columnar form in which the preceding lists are printed, it certainly possesses some advantages in making an hasty refer- ence to a particular edition, because not only are the dates and sizes brought together as here, but the place also, the printer, and the possessor of the volume. But in the present instance it was found that this scheme was subject to some disadvantages ; especially as in many cases the number of possessors given would be considerable; and since the column containing their names "1762. Chas. Bradbury, 1763. .las. " in that edition. The present, like the "Merrick, 1765. Chr. Smart, 1765. "former edition, has been printed for " Feb. 6. 1777, M. C. Tutet."

" in the first edition as the compiler; " 1778. M. C. T." " but surely without cause ; see my note INTRODUCTION. xiii could not. be widened, the rest of the page would have presented an awkward and displeasing blank. Whatever was set down in the former lists I have conceived myself bound to retain, unless upon examination I discovered it to be erroneous : and in fact I have little doubt that several edi- tions, cited in this tract as printed in different sizes, owe their supposed existence to the circumstance of being called folios by one, and quailos by another; octavos by one, and twelves by another. In this particular Mr. Herbert is not to be depended upon for accuracy ; he himself acknowledges in his work, that he often calls octavos those volumes which are really twelves, (or more properly speaking, sixteens ; for in old books the signatures run in eights much oftener than in any other number.) In seek- ing and noting down possessors of the earlier editions, I have be- stowed some pains ; and have given the names of every society or person with whom I found the more rare and curious articles : endeavouring always to cite, if possible, a public rather than a private repository ; a permanent collection, such as the Bodleian, rather than the library of an individual. For it is interesting, and in many cases useful, to know where such and such a trans- lation or remarkable edition can be found; likewise to know where a second and a third copy is to be met with, for the sake of supplying a defect, or for comparison of any kind. With regard to the later editions, and such as are yet scarcely out of circula- tion, the same care did not seem to be required ; for them I have not gone out of my way, but have been contented to find a single reference, which should be sufficient to verify their existence. The notes, with the exception of the first, are short, and few in number; for I scarcely thought it worth while to load the pages with observations transferred from Lewis, or other biblio- graphers ; and the descriptions of some more curious editions I have placed by themselves in the Appendix. The length of' the first note may perhaps be excused by the high interest and value of the book which it describes. I should much rejoice to see a careful republication of this first edition of Tyndale's Testament, with various readings from the editions of 1534 and 15S6, and likewise from George Joye's edition. It would be a curious and pleasing task to trace the gradual change and improvement which took place, as new light broke in upon the minds of the trans- xiv IN.TRODUCTION. lators. Pleasing also to observe how many of the earliest expres- sions have withstood repeated revisals of the translation, and ai-e retained and approved at the present day. This last is a circum- stance which cannot fail to strike forcibly any one who has been led to examine our earlier printed Bibles. Let any person take up the first edition of Coverdale's Bible, printed in 1535, and read from it one of the Psalms ; besides the general similarity which pervades the whole, how many verses will he find of which every word is the same with those which he reads in the Prayer Book as now printed and used ! Surely that rendering must have been near the truth, which repeated examination has not thought fit to alter; that language must have been well chosen, which could not only maintain its ground amidst so many changes of style and of taste, but could continue to be generally intelligible after nearly three centuries had elapsed, and when almost every other composition of the same age had become enveloped in con- siderable obscurity. The second part of this tract contains editions of the Psalms ; of the translations of which, by far the greater number, as might be supposed, are in metre. The prose versions are however no- ticed as well as the others. This being the case, it might per- haps have been expected that I should mention the earlier edi- tions of the English Liturgy, in which a version of the Psalms is contained : undoubtedly, I should have conceived myself bound to do so, had there been any variations between the earlier and later copies in this respect : but since, as is well known, the ver- sion of the Psalms now printed in the Prayer Book is precisely that which was used in King Edward's days, and has been con- tinued ever since without alteration, being uniformly taken from the Great Bible of 1541, I saw no sufficient reason for their in- troduction in this place. Tt will probably be inquired why so large a portion of this se- cond division is occupied with editions of Sterneholde's version ; why so much space is taken up in needless repetition of one and the same thing, and that so common and well-known : but in truth the fact is not so : whoever will be at the pains of compar- ing either of the versions of Sterneholde, which he finds in the appendix G, with that which is now subjoined to the Prayer Books, will not fail to perceive a very considerable difference of INTRODUCTION. xv reading: the first alteration was made by the Genevan editors, and from that time till a little after the appearance of the new version by Brady and Tate, arbitrary changes continued to be made. About 1696, the popularity of the new version alarmed those who were most concerned in the printing of the old one; and upon consultation it was deemed advisable, and even neces- sary, to adapt the language to the taste and temper of the day. The shape into which the old version was then thrown it has pre- served, I beheve, unaltered to the present time. Later than 1696 therefore no edition of it is mentioned in these pages. And even for some years previous to that period, I cannot pretend to have cited all the editions which had appeared. I did not indeed consider them of sufficient consequence to be carefully sought out, but merely set down those which presented themselves rea- dily to my notice. Of the other versions, by Brady and Tate, Barton, Patrick, Merrick, &c. a few of the earlier editions alone are mentioned, or those which presented any new variety. With some other writ- ers, who have at various periods translated'portions of the Psal- ter, more perhaps from private amusement than from a wish to substitute their versions in the public service of the Church, it was difficult to know exactly what to do. A line seemed neces- sary to be drawn, yet how could such names as Sidney, and Ad- dison, and Milton, be excluded ? This part I must leave to the judgment of others, who will pronounce whether or not I have exceeded the proper limits of my work. The Appendix I have formed of matter illustrative of the sub- ject, but which could not very conveniently have been thrown into the shape of notes, without overloading the page, and inter- rupting the facility of reference. It is composed of the following parts : A. Specimens of translations of the same passage, of the Old Testament, from several of the earlier editions. B. Specimens, from the Gospel of St. Mark. C. Specimens, from the First Epistle to the Corinthians. By thus bringing together and exposing in one view various renderings of any the same portion of Scripture, a tolerable idea may be formed of the style and character of each translation : their points of resemblance as well as of difference are at once xvi INTRODUCTION. seen : and the gradual progress towards the formation of our present version may be traced without difficulty: add to this, that a person possessing an imperfect edition of the Bible may here at once ascertain of what translation it is. I selected the first of these from the Pentateuch purposely, that I might in- clude Tyndale's first attempt of 1530. The second from St. Mark, on account of some peculiar expressions : the third, from the fifteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians, embraces a greater variety of doctrine as well as of interpretation. D. Specimens from translations of detached books of Scripture, by George Joye, which are here placed by themselves, as they could not be brought into the series of parallels. E. Bibliographical descriptions of some of the earlier and more uncommon editions of the whole or any part of the Old Testa- ment ; such as may serve to identify a volume, and inform the possessors of imperfect copies, both what their editions are, and how much is wanting to complete them. In this part it will be observed, that I have not been particular in giving the titles at full length ; for, in the first place, most of them may be seen in Lewis, Herbert, or Dibdin ; and, secondly, nine times out of ten the title is the portion wanting ; and if it be there, it of itself sufficiently identifies the edition. F. A similar description of editions of the New Testament. Gr. Specimens of some rare and curious translations of the Psalms. H. Bibliographical descriptions of editions of the Psalms. I. A detailed account of the several portions of which Dr. Wells's paraphrase of the Old and New Testament consists : the work was published, at various periods, in parts, some of which reached a second edition, while others did not ; it is bound up in different modes, and is not unfrequently imperfect: to remedy these inconveniences, I have given the best account of it which I could procure. K. A list of some editions cited in the catalogue of the cele- brated biblical collection of the Duke of Wirtemburgh ; the first part of which catalogue was printed in 1787, in 4°. and the se- cond is in manuscript, in the Bodleian Library. The editions are such as I have not been able to verify, and have therefore been unwilling to admit into the series, well knowing that a cata- INTRODUCTION. jfvii logue is not always to be trusted in the matter of dates and sizes. It remains that I entreat the pubUc to receive favourably this slight performance. I claim no other merit than that of a little diligence; and may even then be told, that I claim all that a work of this nature will admit of. The interest and importance of the subject first engaged my attention, and the peculiar situa- tion which I hold has afforded me no common facilities in pursu- ing it. For its imperfections I make no apology, being taught by the example of those who have preceded me, as well as by the general nature of things, that a compilation like the present is not to be completed " by a man, but by men." If I shall have cor- rectly supplied some links which were wanting in the chain ; shall have gratified in any degree the inquiries of the curious ; above all, if I shall have excited any one to a more attentive examina- tion of the contents of the Holy Volume, I shall have had fully and sufficiently my reward. I cannot close this introductory address without publicly ex- pressing my grateful sense of the obligations laid on me, by the superintendants of the libraries of the several Colleges and HaUs in this University : by the officers of the British Museum and Sion College, also of the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth, and of that belonging to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's Ca- thedral. Likewise to the Rev. Dr. Coombe, of Hertford Street, May-fair, for the obliging readiness with which I was permitted to inspect his well-chosen and valuable collection of ancient Eng- lish Bibles; and to Dr. Clarke, Keeper of the Public Library, Cambridge, for the description and transcript of the rare edition of the Psalter by George Joye. To many other friends also I am indebted for much valuable information and assistance; aU and each of whom I here request to accept my best thanks for the same. H. C. CONTENTS OF THE APPENDIX.

Tyn- 12°. • Of this valuable and highly inter- esting volume, the first-fruits of an at- tempt to print the Scriptures in the English tongue, and the chief cause of the persecution and subsequent death of the translator, a, single copy only was supposed to exist. Of the manner in which this found its way into the Har- leian Library, and of the value set upon it by Lord Oxford and Mr. Ames, a short but interesting account is given in the foUovring extract from a letter pre- served in the Bodleian Library. It is in the hand-writing of Ames, is addressed to Mr. George Ballard, and dated Wap- ping, June 30, 1743- " I cannot forbear " telling you of my good success in buy- " ing at Lord Oxford's sale the Phce- «' nix of the whole library; I mean the " first English Testament that ever was " printed in the year 1526. It has been " thought no perfect one was left from " the flames. My Lord was so well " pleased in being the possessor of it. " that he gave the person [Mr. John " Murrey] he had it of, ten guineas, and " settled an annuity of twenty pounds "a year during the person's life, which " is yet paid him. The particulars are " too many to commit to a letter : the old " historians and Fox give a good account " of it." Herbert's account, given in a note at p. 153s, may form a sequel to this: " This first edition was in the possession " of Mr. Ames, who bought it for fifteen " shillings, out of the Harleian library, " No. 420, sold by Tho. Osborne, 1743. " Mr. John Wliite purchased it for 15*. " 4s. 6rf. at the auction of Mr. Ames' " books. No. 1254, sold by Langford " 1760, and sold it for twenty -one " pounds to Dr. Gifford, who at his de- " cease bequeathed it, with many others, " to the Baptist Museum , Bristol." But it has been my fortune, in ex- amining the library of St. Paul's Ca^ thedral, to discover a second copy.

It was presented by Mr. Lewis. Dr. Gifford's copy wants the book of Genesis. s Tias is mentioned by Sir Thomas More, in his ' Confutation of Tyndale's Answer,' printed 1532, among the books of heresies brought into this realm : but whether it has been utterly lost from the smallness of its bulk, or was voluntarily given up by persons who hoped thereby the more effectually to secure their New Testaments, I am not aware that a single copy of it exists at the present day.

The whole of the first part, as APPENDIX. 121 far as sheet L (inclusive) of the second, and the Apocrypha, are from one press ; the rest of the volume, with the general title and preliminary matter, from another: in proof of this it may be ob- served, that in the former portion the initial letters of the chap- ters, and of the running title, are not cut in wood, but are flou- rished, and of a Dutch or Swiss make, nearly resembling those of Coverdale''s Bible of 1535, particularly the capital M. of which the figure is very remarkable : these may be well seen in the title to the Apociypha. The contents of each chapter are in the same letter, but smaller. The words Lord and God are printed in Roman capitals. The Italics used in the margin diifer from those used in the Psalms, &c.

The description of the years is brought down to 1572. The dates in the several initials are changed from 1568 to 1572, (the last figure being scarcely legi- ble.)

The portrait of Lord Burleigh is placed on the leaf con- taining the title, " The thirde parte of the Bible," &c. The en- graving has been so retouched, that the character of the counte- nance is completely changed. The initial B. is also removed from it, but traces of it are still visible in the plate.

The portraits of the Evangelists differ from those of the former edition : also the portraits of St. James and St. Peter are prefixed to their Epistles. The cuts of the Revelations are all together, prefixed on one leaf to the book, instead of being dispersed through it. These two editions are very frequently found robbed of their portraits, but it seems that these were not ori^nally added to every copy. For in the library of Balliol college is a very fine copy of the edition of 1572, where the pages are perfect, but the portraits have never been impressed. Apocrypha. 1549. 12".

This edition is briefly described by Herbert, p. 1543, and it is the identical copy there mentioned, formerly be- longing to Mr. Ibbot, which I am now using. The copy wants all the prefatory matter, 28 leaves ; 6 in St. John ; 1 in the prologue to the Romans ; and 2 in the Epistle to the Romans. This book was doubtless printed at Antwerp, but from the great variations observable in it I cannot beheve the date 1534 to be the true one : especially when it is considered that Tjmdale's own, from which it is principally copied, did not appear tiU Nov^ in that year.

Before the Epistles is a second title within the same woodcut, bearing also the date, which is followed by the pro- logue to the Romans, on 7 leaves, printed in a smaller letter, with a woodcut at the beginning. The signatures of this pro- logue are out of the regular series of the volume. On the back of the last leaf are the royal arms. It is thought that John Goughe was the printer. There are woodcuts throughout the vo- lume ; those in the Revelations are larger than the rest. A mole is the engraver's mark.

It appears that Coverdale was much dissatisfied with the former edition, and set this forth as being more correct ; endeavouring at the same time to call in the copies of the other : in this he seems to have amply succeeded, as one is now scarcely to be found. Lewis had never seen it, and Herbert describes it as being very scarce. I give here a few of the variations, which may serve to distinguish one edition from the other. The first reads.

TRANSLATIONS OF THE PSALMS. Psalter. 1530. 24°. Psalm xix. The hevens declare the maieste of God : and y^ firmament sheweth what are his workes. On daye succeding a nother whetteth continually owre thoughtis: & on nyghte folowing a nother encresethe owre knowledge. Theis creatures have nether speche nor wordes : nether is their voices eny where harde. And yet their poyntyng and shewyng hath taught all the worlde : & their dumme speche hath gone forth into all y^ costes of y^ worlde. He hath fastened in them a tabernacle for the sonne : this sonne cometh forth of his cloudes lyke a brydegrome / ye lyke a fresshe valiaunt knighte to make his course. Frome y^ farthest easts parte of y= hevens cometh he forthe : havynge his recourse unto the other extreme : nether is their eny mane that maye hyde hym frome his heate. N. B.

The Psalter by George Joye. 1534. The hevens declare the Almightye Majestye off God / and the firmament sheweth forth the worke of his handis. Every day precheth the same : and every night sayeth forth the same also unto our knowlege. There is ne^er speche nor togue but amonge them are the voyces of these al herde. Into al the worlde goeth forth the speche of them / h their wordis unto the worldis ende.

Frome the one syde of the hevens he goth forth myghtely to the tother ; and there is noman that maye hyde him from his heat. The Psalter by R. Crowley. 4°. 1549- To us the heavens do declare, Godde's wonderful glorie : And the copasse thereof doeth shewe hys handworcke trulye. The day that succedeth shall teach us yet a little more : And the nyght folowynge shall shewe more then that went before. They have no maner of language, nor wordes sowndynge wyth noyse : They speake not as men use to speake, no ma doeth heare theyr voyce. Yet went theyr rule through out y^ world, all men have heard theyr sounde : And theyr wordes went into the coastes, of all the worlde so rownde. In these heavens the Lorde hath sette, a dweUyngeplace and tent : For the sunne that wyth his bryght beames, is alwaye resplendent. And as a brydgrowme he commeth out of his bower bryght : Ryght cherfuUy to renne his rase, lyke to a man of myght. At the utmost parte of the easte, he doeth his rase begynne : And in the utmoste of the weste, is hys returnynge in.

They therefore think that Bertram is entitled to the same equity and management ; lest, as they very simply add, heretics should deride them, as respecting antiquity only when it favours themselves.*" The method by which they extricate theii' incautious brother is by the logical legerdemain * The words are so extraordinary, and so difficult to be rendered exactly, that even for fairness they ought to be given in the original. Cum — in catholicis veteribus aliis plurimos feramus errores, et exte- nueraus, excusemus, excogitato comments perssepe negemus, et com- modum iis sensum afflngamus, dum opponuntur &c — non videmus cur non eandem jequitatem mereatur Bertramus ; ne hseretici &c. Gket- sztt has properly corrected the false grammar at the end, making the infinitives participles in the ablative absolute. He could not do so without an insinuation against the accuracy of Junius ; as, though a Jesuit, he could not see the original. The mistake howeveir is there. 50 of a distinction between the species and acci- dents, and the substance ; and by the due ap- plication of which it is impossible to be a heretic as to the Eucharist in the Roman sense ; but they acknowledge that Bertram does not appear to have been acquainted with this sub- tile and most true philosophy. The practical argument of the Berengarians, who observed^ that persons, who were fed with the eucharist alone, lived and thrived, is triumphantly con- futed by this distinction. The next article concerning Capnio, p. 7, is important as an instance in which the critics oppose Rome and her two last Indexes, by approving an author, whom they had condemned, under disgraceful circumstances there detailed — a fact, which proves, for the consolation of a much injured world, that the rogues in it do not always agree. P. 29, occurs the Missa Lat'ina, first published with a preface by Fl. Illyricus, and to be found in Card. Bona's work Rerum Li- turg. at the end ; condemned, as indeed it was before, and first, in the Index of 1570, on ac- count both of the preface and of offensive ad- ditions. It is said, without proof, that the 61 jiaiiic afterwards changed sides, and the pro^ testants wished to suppress it. However; it stands in the Roman Indexes to the last.* It is a proof with what success the fabrica- tors of this volume, who cannot be said to be lovers of the lightj had provided for escaping itj that for fifteen years it was totally unknown to those who were most injuriously aifected by it. It was discovered accidentally about that time ; and although sufficiently hostile both in intention and effect while working under ground, the publication was so evidently an advantage to the injured party, that little time was then lost in making the best of it ; and a reprint was effected by the discoverer, Fran- cis Junius, in a little volume, 8v0i Apud Jo- annem Mareschallum Lugdunensem, 1586. f The title is a transcript of the original, with the addition. Nunc primum in lucetn editus, et preefatione auctus ac regit diplomatis interpreta- tione. All that requires notice in this voltame is what belongs to the editor, an Epistle Dedi- • See Missa, &C. f Francus, delndicihus, &c. p. 9, mentions ftn edition at Heidel" berg, 1584: but he must be mistaken. e2 52 catory to John Casimir, Count Palatine of the Rhine, and a preface to the reader. In the first, all that is remarkable, is the assertion of the fact of the recent discovery, and of the de- position of the original in his highness's library, to preclude both natural doubt and unprinci- pled denial. The preface is full of good sense and justly indignant feeling : proofs of the inter- polation and corruption of authors are adduced ; and one in particular with respect to an edi- tion of Ambrose in preparation at Lyons, the subsequent non-appearance of which is no con- tradiction of the fact, which Junius would never have risked his credit to afiirm, had it been a fiction.* Towards the close he states • Vide Francum dc Indie, pp. 99, 100. The reader shall have the story in Junius's own words. Kem meis oculis ^'isam ad exemplum adferam.

It appears to haVe been printed at Strasburg. In addition to the prefatory matter of Junius, John Pappus, the present editor, has given a Ego vera si quod exemplitm Amhrosiani operis mihi emendiim esset, quodvif cxem/ilum tdiud patiiis, qiiam hoc, quod vides, compararem.

Gretser has done vhat every art- ful opponent does, called for proof, which he knew could not be given ; and then triumphs. The veracity of Junius is not to be thus shaken. • Quod si quid reprehensione dignum putaverunt, id raalueruHt recentioribus acceptum ferre quam suo facto coramittere ut in sanctos patres fuisse dicantur injurii. 54 preface, chiefly concerning the other work published with the Index ; but containing some pertinent remarks relative to the latter, from which we have, in all probability, partially profited. The next reprint was in 8vo. printed at Strasburg, Impensis Lazari Zetzneri Bibliopol. MDCix. It has the same title as the original, with the additional notice of a later Spanish Index, of which Excerpta are published, to- gether with another work. It has nothing ad- ditional as respects the work which we are now considering, except the prefaces in the preceding edition, The fourth and last reprint is in 8vo. and, referring to both the Belgic and Spanish In- dexes, is entitled, Indjces Expurgatorii DUO, Testes Fraudum ac Falsationum Pontifi- ciarum, Quorum prior jassu et auctoritate V ai- Lippi II. &c. Hanpviae Apud Gulielmum Antonium, Anno 1611. It has the prefatory matter of Junius, and Johp Pappus. The fact will afford matter of earnest re- flexion, that all these editions, not on|y the original but even the reprints, four in number, 55 have long, perhaps always, been, and certainly are now, of superlatively rare occurrence. Our next station is a new one, Portugal, or Lisbon. Here we have the following Index. Index Librorum prohibitorum, cum regulis con- feetis per Patres a Tridentina Synodo delectos, autoritate Sanctissirni Domini nostri Pii IIII. Pont. Alax. comprobatus Nunc recens de mandato Illustriss. ac Reverendiss. D. Georgii Dal- MEiDA Metropolyt.

The book is in 4to. ; and the first part, as it purports to be, is nothing more than the Trent Index, which is thus sanctioned by the supreme ecclesiastic authority of Portugal. The other part embraces additional books in Latin and in Portugueze, with certain directions for the more effectual execution of the provisions against pre- sumed heretical books. The title runs thus : 56 Catalogo dos Livros que se prohibeni nestes Regno^ (§' Senhorios de Portugal, por mandado do Illustriss'uno Reverendissimo Setihor Dom Jorge Dalmeida Metropolytano Arcebispo de Lisboa, Inquisitor Geral. %c. Com outras cousas necessaynas a materia da prokibigao dos Livros, Impresso em Lisboa per Antonio Ribeiro impressor de sua Illustrissima and Reverendiss. Senoria. 1581. From having but an imperfect acquaintance with the Portugueze language, I am unable to give so particular an account of this part as might be desired. It contains short edicts by the archbishop, with a translation of the Trent Rules into Portugueze ; and appears to resemble the Spanish publications of this sort. This work is not common. My copy has the MS. inscription on the title-page, Societaiis Jesu Lovanii, 1641, The arms are those of a cardinal. We return to Spain; and in the year 1583 meet with the following Index — Index et Cata- logus Librorum prohibitorum, mandato lUustriss. ac Reverendiss. D. D. Gasparis a Quiroga, Cardinalis Arckiepiscopi Toletam, ac in Regnis ffispaniarum Generali-s Innuisitoris, denub cditus. 57 Cum ComUio Suprcmi Scnatm Sanctce Generalis Inquisitionis. Madriti Apud Alphonsum Gome- zium Regium Typographum, Anno, mdlxxxiix. 4 to. The Mandate of the Inquisitor General laments, that the preceding Catalogues have not sufficed to put a stop to the increasing heresies, and therefore he publishes a new one, accom-* panied with some general rules, which shall comprehend books, not particularly noted al- ready. He represents the work as the result of much care and deliberation of the Universities of the kingdom, and of many learned persons besides; and enjoins obedience by the penalty of the greater excommunication latce sententite, (or already determined and not depending upon any discretionary judgement). Dated, May 20, 1583. The Reg las Generates follow, four- teen in number ; but although varying from those of Trent, and from subsequent editions of themselves, they have nothing in them of suffi- cient importance to require particular notice. The fourth is directed against the writings both of the Jews and of the Moors : the eighth for- bids confutations of the Koran in the vulgar tongue ; and the last declares that books con- 58 demned in any language are condemned in all. The preface to the Reader advises him not to be scandalized at meeting with the names of some good Catholics, since nothing is censured but some incautious passages which heretics might pervert ; nor to wonder, that some others do not appear, who held opinions, peculiar in their life-time, but by the determination of the church, or otherwise, since made correct. The Index itself is somewhat larger than the pre^ ceding Prohibitory one, and comprehends in the second part, books in Spanish, Portugueze, French, Italian, Flemish, and Dutch. Perhaps one of the most remarkable circumstances in this Index, or at least the only one which it appears necessary to notice, is, that the work of Bertram, de corpore et sangume Christi is in- serted, notwithstanding all the mysterious logic, the extenuation, the excogitated comment, the convenient sense, of the Censors of Douay. This Index was never reprinted, and is there- fore peculiarly rare. The next of the same nation is more impor- tant in itself as being of the expurgatory class, although it has been twice reprinted, and is 59 therefore less inaccessible. The title is — In-' DEX LiBROUUM EXPURGATORUM, Illustrissimi ac Reverendis D.D. GasparisQuiroga, Car- dinalis et Archiep. Toletani Hispan. generalis In- quisitoris jussu editus. De Consilio Supremi Se- natus S. Generalis Inquisit. Madriti Apud Al- phonsum Gomezium Regium Typographum. Anno, MDLxxxi III. 4to. The volume contains 194 leaves, besides 4 of Index. The preface considers it not as a complete Catalogue, but as a beginning and specimen, and implores the assistance of the learned and pious. The ex- purgations are to be attended with as little cost to the owners of books requiring it as possible ; and the assurance of perpetual fame is extend- ed to those who contribute in so laudable an undertaking by the holy office of the Inquisi- tion. Erasmus occupies from fol. 81 to 114, i.e. 33 foil. ; besides his editions of Augustine, Hieronymus, Hilarins, Irenaeus. The Biblio- tkeca SS. Patrum by M. de la Eigne, has its share. A specimen of the sentences selected by them for condemnation, particularly from the Biblia R. Stephani, fol. 8 &c. to 17, disco- ver the iniquity and corrupt doctrine, by which 60 the censures are regulated. The copy of this uncommon book in my possession has the auto- graph, as it appears, of Alonso de Valdes, a very inquisitorial name. The cardinal's arms, both in this, and the edition last noticed, are probably those of Quiroga. Of this Index there have been two complete reprints, and one collection, a copious one, of extracts. The first of these is that printed Salmuri (Saumur) Apud ThomamPortau. mdci. The title is the same as in the original ; and it is added Juxta exemplar, &c. 4to. In the pre- face the editor says, that the original M^as sent a Jacobo James V. C. ad nobilissimum Plessiaci Dominum (Mornay du Plessis), who, it appears, was the editor ; and to shew with what kind of people protestants have to do, it is added, penes quern, adfactijidem asserendam, prototypus, cujus hoc exemplum prodit. He exposes, with convincing evidence, the fact, and the disho- nesty, of attacking the most distinguishing and important doctrines of the Bible and antient Christian writers, through the sides of the In- dexes, which do scarcely more than verbally repeat them. 61 The Extracts, pr Excerpta, are found in the reprint of the Belgic Index of 1571, at Strasburg in 1G09 : and the Index is given en- tire, for the second time, in the Indices Ex- PURG. DUO, Testes Fraudum, Sec. Hanovisd, 1611, which likewise has, in the first part, a re-edi- tion of the same Belgic Index — both of which have been already noticed under that head. The title-page, however, has the mistake, in describing this edition, of making the date MDLxxi., instead of mdlxxxiiii. It has the preface of Mornay's reprint. We now come to a very curious work, of which the sight and perusal may be obtained from two copies in the Bodleian Library, Ox- ford, but of which the possession is almost hopeless. It deserves attention, as containing a kind of Index of condemned books issuing from Naples — a new field for such operations. The title is a long one — Enchiridion Ecclesi- asticum sive Praparatio pertinens ad Sacramentum Pcenitentice et Sacri Ordi?iis, Editum a R. P. F.

At p. 166 the Spanish Censura of the BibleSi 1562, noticed above, is mentioned with approbation. And at p. 218 we have a most extraordinary passage, discovering, in a signal manner, how readily the adherents of Rome^ wheti any charge is made against themj in the first place, and at a Venture, leap upon a denial ; trusting that di- rect evidence may not be at the command of the accuser. Finaliter summopere cave a quodam li- bro, cujus tituliis est Index Librorum expurgan- doruni impressus Madriti, per Alphonsum Go- mezium sub anno 1584. cum potius credendum sit fdlso adscriptum esse in eo in tali civitate et per dictum Alphonsum impressum fuisse : ac etiam falsa adscriptum esse tanti supremi, et catholici senatus ordine impressum, ac ab eo editum : et inter Ccetera iti eo contenta erronea, sive htereticalia, est, quod dicit, posse concedi nonnulla opera Caroli 64 MoUrKci hccreticiprimai classis absque cor I'cct tone, et imprimis assignat Commentaria super consuetu- dinem Sgc. The good father had the natural re- ward of his officious good will to his brethren ; and was himself, for this very passage, brought to the stake in the next Auto da fe of books by the holy fathers of Spain. Rome is the theatre of the next of these literary executions. From the information given by Clemens VIII. in the second brief prefixed to the edition next- to be considered, that of 1596, we learn, that Sixtus V. by whom the Index is said to be auetus, did indeed meditate a new edition with additions, but was prevented accomplishing his purpose by death. It appears, therefore, that the editions subse- quent to that of Trent, enumerated by Peignot, Striivius, in Jugler's edition of his Bibliotheca, and others, and which do not fall within the pontificate of Sixtus V. contain nothing addi- tional, excepting perhaps, the detached de- crees passed for the condemnation of particular books. The Clementine Index, therefore, must be considered as the next, and to that we now proceed, entitled.

The second, bearing date, Oct. 17, 1595, after the inflated series of false assumptions usual in such instruments, and claiming, very gratuit- ously, Gelasius I. as the founder of the In- dex, to whom it adds Gregory IX. passes, without more ceremony, to Pius IV.

Then follow the Brief and Preface of the first edition, with the Ten Rules. The next document peculiar to this edition is entitled Observatio — the first, upon the Fourth Rule, which denies, that any power is given by it to bishops, &c. to grant licences to buy, read, or retain Bibles, or any parts or summaries thereof, in the vulgar language. The second is of little importance, on the Ninth Rule. The third revokes the partial toleration of Thalmudic and Cabalistic books. The fourth forbids the Hebrew Ritual called Maga- zor, in any other than the original language ; and the fifth corrects a mistake relative to the books of John Bodin. The Instriictio which follows is of considerable importance ; and I. concerning the Prohibition of books, enjoins, that the names of such as were condemned, under pain of heavy punishment, should be delivered to the bishops and inquisitors ; and that licence to read them should be obtained 67 from the same — II. The Correction of books. This is to be committed to learned and pious men; and when the work is expurgated and amended to the satisfaction of the appointed judges, it is permitted. The corrector and ex- purgator is to look very diligently into every thing, indexes, &c. ; and several objects are to be attended to as his guide — every thing anti- catholic, and against the church, and in praise of heretics, as well as what is immoral and in- jurious to the reputation of others. Catholic books after the year 1515, if objectionable, are to be corrected :* but the antients, only where errors have been introduced by the fraud of heretics, &c. — III. The Impression of books. The work to be printed must first be shewn to the bishop or Inquisitor, and approved by either of them ; when printed it must be com- pared with the MS. and found correct, before it can be sold. Printers must be orthodox men, bind themselves by oath to deal faithfully and catholically, and the more learned and eminent of them must profess the creed of • Fra.

A condemned book, when expur- gated, must express the fact in the title. These Rules would give as much power to the executors of them as they could wish. We need only say of this Index, that an Appendix is subjoined, in portions, to every division of the original. We now advance to perhaps the most ex- traordinary and scarcest of all this class of publications. It is the first and last, and in- complete Expurgatory Index, which Rome herself has ventured to present to the world ; and which, soon after the deed was done, she condemned and withdrew. But it is time to give the title : Indicis Libkorum Expuugan- DORUM in studiosorum gratiam confecti. Tomus Primus.

The im- position, however, being detected, another edition was prepared by Hesseliiis, a printer of Altorf, in 1745; and then the remaining copies of the former threw off their mask, and ap- peared with a new title-page, as a second edition. junxit.

It will likewise be seen, what degree of concurrence exists between the senti- ments of a most acute observer and judge of such subjects, and those delivered in the pre- ceding pages. And it may serve as an addi- tional recommendation of the passage to be produced, that Francus, in his work on the Indexes, took the pains to translate it into Latin, that his readers might not want the gra- tification and information which it conveys.* " But the Papacy at tins day, taught by woeful experience, what damage this licence of writing among themselves hath done them ; and * It is much to the credit of this writer, and this work in particu- lar, tliat, although condemned in an Italian tr;inslation by a Decree pf 1G27, which has secured him a place in the lioman Index ever since, his accuracy is admitted, and his authority appealed to, by the very learned, and, for a Romanist, liberal J.

These editions only authorized, all other are disallowed, called in, years, which are found in various monuments of papal Rome, and which cur author professes it difficult (he might as well have said impossibk) to reconcile with the denial of the facts. They never would have been de- •nied, had not the Protestants spoiled the trade, and mads the specula, tion, in some cases, a losing, if not a ruinous one. For this, and otjier offences however, the well-meaning Frenchman has been conducted io the literary gibbet of his church. 168 consumed ; with threats to whosoever shall presume to keep them : that no speech, no writing, no evidence of times past, no discourse of things present, in sum nothing whatsoever may sound ought but holiness, honour, purity, integrity to the unspotted spouse of Christ, and to his unerring Vicar ; to the Mistress of Churches, to the Father of Princes. But as it falleth out now and then, that wisdom and good fortune are to the ruin of them that too much follow them, by drawing men sometimes upon a presumption of their wit and cunning in con- trivements, and of their good success withal in one attempt, to adventure upon another still of yet more subtile invention, and more dangerous execution, which doth break in the end with the very fineness itself, and overwhelm them with the difficulties : so it is to be thought, that their prosperous success in pruning and pluming those later writers, effected with good ease and no very great clamour, as having some reason, and doing really some good, was it that did breed in them a higher conceit, that it was possible to work the like conclusion in writers of elder times, yea in the Fathers them- 169 selves, and in all other monuments of reverend Antiquity. And the opinion of possibility- redoubling their desire brought forth in fine those Indices Expur gator ii, whereof I suppose they are now not a little ashamed, they having by misfortune light into their adversaries' hands, from whom they desired by all means to con- ceal them ; where they remain as a monument to the judgement of the world of their everlast- ing reproach and ignominy. These purging Indices are of divers sorts : some work not above eight hundred years upwards : other venture much higher, even to the prime of the church. The effect is, that forasmuch as there were so many passages in the Fathers and other antient ecclesiastical writers, which their adversaries producing in averment of their opinions, they were not able but by tricks and shifts of wit to reply to, to ease themselves henceforth in great part of that wit-labour (a quality indeed perhaps more commendable in some other trade than in divinity, where verity should only sway, where the love of the truth should subject or extin- guish wholly all other passions, and the eye of the mind fixed attentively upon that object 170 should disturn from the regarding of other mo- tives whatsoever), some assemblies of their di- vines, with consent no doubt of their redoubted superiors and sovereigns, have delivered ex- press order, that in the impressions of those authors which hereafter should be made, the scandalous places there named should be clean left out : which perhaps though in this present age would have smally prevailed to the reclaimr ing of their adversaries, yet would have been great assurance for the retaining of their own, to whom no other books must have been granted. Yea, and perhaps time and industry, which eat even through marbles, extinguishing or getting into their hands all former editions, and for any new to be set oat by their adversa^ ries there is no great fear, whose books being discurrent in all Catholic countries, their want of means requisite to utter an impression would dishearten them from the charge : the mouth of antiquity should be thoroughly shut up from uttering any syllable or sound against them. Then lastly, by adding words where opportunity and pretence might serve, and by drawing in the margiual notes and glosses of their friars 171 into the text of the Fathers, as in some of them they, have already very handsomely begun, the mouth of antiquity should be also opened for them. There remained then only the rectify- ing of St. Paul (whose turn in all likelyhood if ever should be the next), and other places of Scripture, whose authority being set beneath the church's already, it were no such great matter to submit it also to her gentle and mo- derate censures ; especially for so good an in- tent as the weeding out of heresies, and the preserving of the faith Catholic in her purity and glory. But above all other, the second Commandment (as the Protestants, iGrecians, and Jews reckon it), were like to abide it; which already in their vulgar Catechisms is discarded, as words superfluous, or at least- wise as unfit or unnecessary for these times. And then, without an angel sent down from heaven, no means to controul or gainsay them in any thing. But these are but the dreams perhaps of some over-passionate desires, at least- wise not likely to take place in our times. But what is it which the opinions of the non- possibility of erring, of the necessary assistauce 172 of God's Spirit in their consistories, of authority unlimited, of power both to dispense with God's law in this world and to alter his arrests and judgements in the other (for thereunto do their pardons to them in purgatory extend), what is it, which these so high and so fertile opinions are not able to engender, and do not powerfully enforce to execute ? carrying men away head- long with this raging conceit, that whatsoever they do by the Pope's they do by God's' own commandment, whose Lieutenant he is on earth by a commission of his own penning, that is to say, with absolute and unrestrained juris- diction ; that whatsoever they do for advance- ment of his see and sceptre, they do it for the upholding of the church of Christ, and for the salvation of men's souls, whicji out of his obe- dience dp undoubtedly perish. And verily it seems no causeless doubt or fear, that these humours and faces, so forward, so adventurous, to alter and chastise with palpable partiality the works of former times in an age which hath so many jealous eyes on their fingers, so many ^mouths open to publish their shame, such store of copies to restore and repair whatsoever they 173 should presume to maim or deprave: that in former ages, when there were few copies, small difficulties, no enemies ; as it is found by cer- tain and irrefragable arguments, that many bas- tard writings were forged in their favour, and fathered on honest men who never begat them ; so also they might, beside other their chop- pings and changings, puttings in and puttings out, suppress many good and antient evidences, which they perceived were not greatly for their purpose to be extant. But of all other in re- forming and purifying of authors, the care and diligence of this pope* doth far exceed ; who, not content with that wTiich hath been done in that kind before him, nor thinking things yet so bright as they should be, causeth much to be perused and scoured over anew : yea, and it is thought will cashier some worthy authors, who as yet, though with cuts and gashes, hold rank among them. And for a further terror not to retain books prohibited, I have seen in their printed instructions for Confession, the having or reading of books forbidden set in rank • Clemens VIII. See hi? Index of 1696. 174 amongst the sinb against the first Command- ment. And for farther provision, the Jews (who have generally not any other trades than frippery and usury, loan of money and old stuff), are inhibited in many places the med- dling any more with books, for fear lest through error or desire of lucre they might do them prejudice. Neither is it lawful in Italy to carry books about from one place to another, without allowance of them from the Inquisi- tors, or search by their authorities. Wherein as, I confess, they have neglected nothing which the wit of man in this kind could possi- bly devise ; so yet may it be doubted, that as too much wiping doth in the end draw blood with it, and soil more than before, so this too rigorous cutting of all authors' tongues, leaving nothing which may savour any freedom of spi- rit, or give any satisfaction for understanding times past, may raise such a longing for the right authors in the minds of all men, as may encourage the Protestants to reprint them in their first entireness, having hope given to vent them although in secret. These have I ob- served for the complots and practices of the 175 Roman Church and Papacy, not doubtmg but they may have many more and much finer than I can dream of. And yet, in the surveying of these altogether, methinks they are such and so essential in thieir proof, that it causeth me in generality of good desire to wish, tliat either the cause which they strive to maintain were better, or their policies whereby they maintain it were not so good."* The other passage from the same author is of a more general character, but intimately Connected with the subject of the foregoing pages, and slightly anticipated in some of the particulars : but the whole is so just, so pro- found and so important, that, although it has already and recently been brought before the public in Dr. Hales's valuable work on The Origin and Purity of tke Primitive Church of the British Isles, &c. I think it not unsuitable to the present times in particular, to give it such additional circulation as its insertion in this work may obtain for it.

Whatsoever either wealth can sway with the lovers of voluntary poverty, with the despisers of the world ; what honour with the ambitious ; what obedience with the humble ; what great employment with stirring and mettled spirits ; what perpetual quiet with heavy and restive bodies : what content the pleasant nature can take in pastimes and jollity ; what contrariwise the austere mind in discipline and rigour ; what love either chastity can raise in the pure, or voluptuousness in the dissolute ; what allure- ments are in knowledge to draw the contempla- tive, or in actions of state to possess the prac- tic dispositions ; what with the hopeful prero- 177 gative of reward can work ; what errors, doubts and dangers with the fearful ; what change of vows with the rash, of estate with the incon- stant ; what pardons with the faiulty, or sup- plies with the defective; what miracles with the credulous ; what visions with the fantasti- cal ; what gorgeousness of shew with the vul- gar and simple ; what multitude of ceremonies with the superstitious and ignorant ; what prayer with the devoUt ; what with the cha- ritable works of piety ; what rules of higher perfection with elevated affections ; what dis- pensing with breach of all rules with men of lawless conditions ; — in sum, what thing soever can prevail with any man, either for himself to pursue or at leastwise to love, reverence, or^ honour in another (for even therein also man's nature receiveth great satisfaction) ; the same is found with them, not as m other places of the world, by casualty blended without order, and of necessity, but sorted in great part into seve- ral professions, countenanced with reputation, honoured with prerogatives, facilitated with provisions and yearly maintenance, and either '(as the better things) advanced with expecta- N 178 tiori of reward, or borne with how bad soever with sweet and silent permission.

It has been thought best to modernize the spelling, and rectify, or at least improve, the punctuation. APPENDIX. It will serve materially to illustrate and confirm the preceding detail and discussion, if we add some notice of, and extracts from, the most recent official declarations of the Roman See, relative to the Holy Scriptures — the most im- portant object of the damnatory works which have Been examined, — and the general permission to read them in the vernacular languages, into which they have been translated. It will hence be conjectured with tolerable certainty, of what value are the apparent concessions of Benedict XIV. in the Roman Index, as noticed p. 112, and of the last Spanish Index, given p. 120. The conditions certainly are suffici- ently strict to keep the permission under all the controul which could be desired. And in what way and degree that controul has been actually exercised will clearly appear from the documents to be partially produced. The first are two Papal Briefs, issued by the late pope, Pius VII.; the first to Ignatius, Archbishop of Gnezn, Primate of Poland, dated June 29, 1816; the other to Sta- nislaus, Archbishop of Mohileff (or Mohilow), in Russia, dated Sept. 3, 1816; both from Rome. They are to be read in an English translation, which I use, in Mr. Blair's Letters on the Revival of Popery, Letter xx. It may be observed generally, that they are both expressly directed against the Bible Societies extending themselves at the time in those respective countries. 182 The first contains the following sentences : — " We have been truly shocked at this most crafty device by which the very foundations of religion are undermined" — as a remedy to this " pestilence," 'f this defilement of the faith, most dangerous to souls," " we again and again exhort you, that whatever you can atchieve by power, provide for by counsel, or efiect by authority, you will daily execute with the utmost earnestness." It then repeats the Rules of the Trent Index, No. II., III., IV., and the Decree of the Congregation of the Index published by Benedict XIV. and already referred to. It is irksome to proceed with the senseless declamation of this document, which, as ever, evades all precision and de- finition, and flounders in vague and convenient generalities. The other Brief, which is longer, is so much to the same purpose and in the same style, that the reader, with hardly any other assistance, may pretty correctly imagine its sub- stance ; and he will therefore hardly regret the want of any further notice of it ; although it is certainly desirable that such things should be preserved somewhere. But the document to which we now proceed is of far greater solemnity and importance, being one and the first of the present pope, Leo XII., his Encyclical Letter, as it is called, published, according to established custom, on his accession to the pontificate. The extracts which will be given are taken from the edition under sanction of the papal hierarchy in Ireland, accompanied by their Pastoral In- structions, and printed and published in Dublin, by Richard Coyne, 1824. It is addressed to the Roman Patri- archs^ Pripiates, Archbishops, and Bishops, and contains the following passages '• — " But how numerous and Ifow severe are the contests, which have arisen, and arise almost daily, against the Ca- tholic Religion in these our times ! Who thinking on them, and revolving them in his mind, can refrain from tears !" 183 After some remarks about spark, flame, and leaven, the elevated writer adds, " But wherefore these remarks? A certain sect, not unknown certainly to you, usurping to itself undeservedly the name of Philosophy, has raked from the ashes disorderly crowds of almost every error. This sect, exhibiting the meek appearance of piety and liberality, pro- fesses Latitudinarianism or Indifferentism," &c. &c. And now let the reader carefully notice the infamous change en- deavoured to be passed upon him, by classing under this head the subject following. " You are aware. Venerable Brethren, that a certain Society, commonly called the Bible Society, strolls with effrontery throughout the world ; which Society, contemning the traditions of the holy fathers, and contrary to the well-known decree of the Council of Trent,* labours with all its might, and by every means to translate — or rather to pervert — the Holy Bible, into the vulgar languages of every nation ; from which proceeding it is greatly to be feared, that what is ascertained to have happened as to some passages, may occur with regard to others ; to wit : ' that, by a perverse interpretation, the Gospel of Christ be turned into a human Gospel, or, what is still worse, into the Gospel of the Devil !'t To avert this plague, our predecessors pub- lished many ordinances ; and in his latter days, Pius VII. of blessed memory, sent two Briefs — one to Ignatius," &c. as noticed above, and this may serve to expose the temerity or dishonesty of those who have doubted their authenticity. But the pope proceeds — " We also. Venerable Brethren, in conformity with our apostolic duty, exhort you to turn away your flock, by all means, from these poisonous pastures. Reprove, beseech, be instant in season and out of season, in all patience and doctrine, that the faithful intrusted to you (adhering strictly to the rules of our Congregation of the • Sess. 4 de Ed. et usu Sac. Lib. f S. Hier. in Cap. i. Ep. ad Gal. 184 Index), be persuaded, that if the Sacred Scriptures be every where indiscriminately published, more evil than advantage ■will arise thence, on account of the rashness of men." " Behold then, Venerable Brethren, the tendency of this Society, which moreover, to attain its ends, leaves nothing untried ; for not only does it print its translations, but also, wandering through the towns and cities, it delights in distri- buting them amongst the crowd. Nay, to allure the minds of the simple, at one time Jt'sells them, at another, with an insidious liberality, it bestows them." " Again, therefore, we exhort you, that your courage fail not. The power of temporal princes will, we trust in the Lord, come to your as- sistance, whose interest, as reason and experience show, is concerned when the authority of the Church is questioned ;" &c. A very intelligible intimation, and, in favourable times, fitted to produce a Crusade. Dated Rome, May 3, 1824. I subjoin the original of some of the foregoing passages.

The " Pastoral Instructions by the R. C." (Roman Ca- tholic) " Archbishops and Bishops," are a worthy echo of the Instructions of their Head, And that is saying quite enough. For, in truth, it is hardly possible to conceive any thing more awful and revolting, than the union and antithesis of the solemn and the ludicrous, of arrogance and humility, of truth and falsehood, of extravagant professions and al- most unavoidable consciousness of hypocrisy, observable in this, as well as in almost every other papal document, — Eill tending to, and centering in, one point, the preservation and aggrandizement of, what falsely assumes to be, the Holy and Only Catholic Church ; which, indeed, has done her best that the gates of hell shall not prevail against her, by taking them into her alliance ; and Satan, she may trust, will not cast out Satan. Her destruction — for her reformation has been so long and obstinately resisted that it has become hope- less — ^will come from another quarter ; and the most charit- able counsel we can give her members is, to come out from the midst of her in time. The following testimonies, exhibited by D. Gerdes, in his Specimen Italics Reformats, pp. 97, 8, will throw light upon the subject of the present work, and shew, that the Decrees of Rome against books were no dead letter, nor, living, an inactive one.

" Exiit edictum, ut libri omnes impressi, vel explanationibus ab heereticis scrip- toribus contaminati, at non illustrati, sanctissimis magistra- tibus qusesitionum ubique afTerrentur, propositis etiam gra- vissimis suppliciis, si quis illos occultasset, suppressisset, ac • Vid.

Tanta concremata est omnis generis Itbrbrum ubique copia ac multitudo, ut Trojanum props incendium, si in unum collati fuissent, apparere posset. Nulla enim fuit bibliotheca, vel privata vel publica, quae fuerit immunis ab ea clade, ac non prope exinanita : Combusti sunt libri in multis Italiee civitatibus, sed non sine multis populorum lamenta- tionibus, ob amissos sumtus." Consentit Latinus Latinius,* in ejus Ep. d. 19 Januar. 1559 ad Andr. Masium: " Sed heus tu! quid tibi tandem venit in mentem, ut quo maxime tempore omnibus pene libris, qui adhuc sunt editi, nobis interdicitur, etiam novos publi- care cures ? Nemo apud nos, ut ego quidem sentio, multis annis reperietur, qui scribere aliquid audeat, nisi si quid in- ter absentes per epistolas agendum erit. Prodiit nuper Index librorum, quos sub anathematis poena habere prohibemur, ii vero tot sunt, ut paucissimi nobis relinquantur, preesertim eorum, qui in Germania sunt excusi." The Index here referred to is evidently the Roman one of 1559 described in this work, pp. 23 et seq. The present work was nearly finished and printed, before I became acquainted with the discussion on the same subject by Bp. Taylor, in the Second Part of his Dissuasive from Popery, Book I., Section VI., entitled, " Of the Expurga- tory Indices of the Roman Church ;" or, in the only complete collection and edition of his Works by the late lamented Bp. of Calcutta, Vol. x. pp. 495 — 507. The acquaintance of that acute and laborious writer with the Roman Indexes was contracted, and, in a great measure, secondary; and, inde- pendently of the matter which was common and, has been anticipated, his mode of treating the subject, which is that of a particular and minute examination of certain portions, or articles, of the contents of the Indexes, was considerably • Vid.

His arguments, however, are conclusive, and eminently important ; particularly those, by which he estab- lishes the charge of altering, or expurgating, the Text itself of the Fathers. 1 must indeed express my doubt relative to the passage, which has been adduced by others, of Sixtus Senensis-, in the Dedication of his Bihliotheca Sancta to Pius V. ; where the pontiff is complimented for expurgat- ing and emaculating the writings of the fathers, contami- nated and poisoned by the heretics ; and I had myself de- clined using it in an appropriate place, because it occurred, that the serpentine dexterity, which we have to encounter, might explain the expression, of a purification from the addi- tions of heretics, in Prefaces, Notes, Indexes, &c. The other proofs of the Bishop are incapable of such evasion, and will stand for reference, whenever the advocates of Rome have the assurance to call the facts supported by them in question. THE END.
