Hom. in diversos; tom. ii. p. 284, Paris, 1604. These Homilies are, however, incorrectly assigned to Origen, and do not appear in the Benedictine edition of his works.

Hence our graziers now call the foreign cattel which they take in to keep by the week, gisements or juicements (pronounced like the joices in building, corrupted from the French adjoustment, the cross pieces of timber that are adjusted or fitted to make the frame of the floor). And to gise or juice ground is when the Lord or tenant feeds it not with his own stock, but takes in other cattel, to agist or feed in it." (Kennet's Glossary in the new Edition of his Parochial Antiquities, or in Dunkin's Bicester.) In the Glossary to Matthew Paris (edit. 1640, p. 268) under "Agistare" is given, "Adjouster a gist dicunt Galli; nos, joyst.' also Spelman's and Boucher's Glossaries.)

(See

Agistment tithe is a term still in use. Agistment, Agisting, in the strict sense of the word, means the depasturing of a beast the property of a stranger, But this word is constantly used in the books, for depasturing the beast of an occupier of land as well as that of a stranger. The tithe of agistment is the tenth part of the value of the keeping or depasturing such cattle as are liable to pay it." (Jacob's Law Dictionary, v. Tithes.) Jacob goes on to show some of the peculiar intricacies and difficulties attending the settlement of agistment tithe, in a manner which well shews the opportunity afforded to a rapacious tithe-taker, and the force of Latimer's expression, "gather up my joyse warily and narrowly." Kennett is inclined to interpret "agistamentum with reference to the "ager," or place of feeding; and to consider it as the profit of depasturing cattle on such land, as if it were synonymous with "agrarium,” "agerium," and "agroticum."

The phrase "gathering up," as applied to such matters, may be illustrated by a sentence quoted in the biography of Bishop Pilkington (p. vii., Parker Soc. edit.): "The Bishop of Chester hath compounded with my lord of York for his visitation, and gathereth up the money by his servants.”

Page 494, line 29. "As it appeareth by his own words in the Prologue."]These words did not come from Jerome's pen, and are printed, according to Oudin, in but few editions of his works; nor are they in the instance before us quoted quite accurately, though given with some improvement in the present edition of Foxe. The supposed Prologue is prefixed to the Catholic Epistles in Schoeffer's edition of the Latin Vulgate, 1472, in the Complutensian Polyglott, vol. v., and in De Lyra's Commentaries. (See Oudin de Scripp. Eccles. tom. i. col. 823; and Horne's Introduction, iv. 462, edit. 1846.)

Page 495, note (7). "Montes [non illos quidem qui vel leviter tacti fumigant] sed montes [veteris et] Novi Testamenti."]-The words between brackets do not appear in Jerome, nor is the remainder altogether verbally correct.

May 11th, 1531. (See Appendix to vol. v., note on p. 537, and Documents No. XVI.) Page 498, line 29. of this volume, note (2). Page 498, line 14 from the bottom, and note (6). "Here followeth another letter," &c.]-In the first Edition we have this affair thus introduced, p. 1335 :— "Here followeth another letter of his writing unto King Henry, where with most christen boldness he persuadeth the King that the Scripture and other good holsom bokes in the English tongue may be permitted to the people, which bokes the Bishops at that time (wickedly conspiring together) went about by a public and authentic instrument to suppress: wherefore or we come to this letter of maister Latimer it shall not be impertinent, first by the way to set forth the said process and instrument of these Bishops, whereby to understand the better the effect of the foresaid letter of Maister Latimer answering to the same."

"Tot quot."]-See an explanation of this phrase at p. 571

Then follows the episcopal proclamation of 1530, misdated by Foxe 1531. In the subsequent editions he adds a reference to the royal proclamation of 1546, not considering that this could have had nothing to do with producing Latimer's remonstrance in 1530. The Editor has substituted a reference to the royal proclamation of 1529, though not strictly to the purpose. Latimer himself in his letter refers to the royal proclamation of 1530, not mentioned by Foxe. (See Document No. III. at the end of this volume.)

Page 503, line 20 from the bottom. " To be imputed or arrected."]-Halliwell quotes from Sir Thomas More's Works, p. 271: therefore he arrecteth no blame of theyr deddes unto them;" and upon "arettid," used in Wycliffe's Apology for the Lollard Doctrines, Dr. Todd remarks (p. 134) "arrettid: Reckoned, accounted, nos putavimus eum, Is. liii. 4." In the Wycliffite translation of Rom. iv. 4, we find, "to hym that worchith, mede is not arrettid by grace, but bi dette;" and Cardinal Wolsey writes, "I beseche yow to arrect no blame to me." (Fiddes' Life, Collections, p. 8.)

Page 505, middle.]—The subscriptions of the three Notaries have been printed at full from the Warham Register in order to show the mistake of Henry Wharton (see Harmer's Specimen of Errors) in representing Latimer as having actually subscribed the bishops' Proclamation: he positively states at p. 509 that three or four protested, of whom doubtless he himself was one.

Page 506, line 19.]-The heading to Latimer's Letter in the Edition of 1563 is, "The letter of maister Latimer written to King Henry, answering to the foresaid inhibition of the Byshops."

Page 506, line 21.]-There is a copy of Latimer's Letter to Henry in the Chapter House Papers, Rolls House, "Polit. and Theolog. Tracts," vol. A. 1. 13, folio 301, varying, however, considerably in phraseology from Foxe's: there is also a part of another copy in the same volume, folio 189, commencing with the words, "realm, yea between the king and his subjects," &c. (p. 507, line 7 from the bottom): this varies, but not much, from the other: neither has the date at the end; some of the readings are much better than Foxe's. Page 506, line 3 from the bottom. "Banbury glosses."]-The Rolls copy reads "barbarous glosses." See more in the Addenda to this Appendix.

Page 507, line 9. "But again, as concerning," &c.]-The reading in the Rolls Copy seems much better: "But of the other part, as concerning that ye be but a mortal man, in danger of sin, having in you the corrupt nature of Adam, in which all we be both conceived and born; and so having no less need of the merits of Christ's passion for your salvation, than I and other of your subjects have, which be all members of the mystical body of Christ; and thoff ye be an higher member, yet ye must not disdain the less; for as St. Paul

saith, Those members which be taken as vilest and of least reputation be as necessary as the other, for the preservation and keeping of the body:-This most gracious King when I considered, and also your favourable and gentle nature, I was bold to write these humble, simple, and rude letters," &c.

Page 509, line 6.]-Respecting the Royal Proclamation here and lower down alluded to, see the Addenda and Document No. III.

Page 509, note (2).]—Latimer meant probably Crome, Thixtill, and himself: there might be others: but Cranmer and Cromwell could scarcely be meant. It is curious that this sentence in the text, " And howbeit.... to go forth in English," is imperfect in both the copies at the Rolls House; which read:"And howbeit as it is ever seen, that the most part overcometh the better:" the incompleteness of this sentence shews that the transcriber has omitted something, which Foxe's copy happily supplies in all his Editions.

Page 510, line 12 from the bottom.]-In the Edition of 1563, p. 1348, Latimer's letter breaks off here with the following notice :

More of this letter came not to our handes (gentle reader): and yet we would not defraud thee of that we had, considering the pithiness thereof. Page 513, note (5).]—Latimer here follows Erasmus's translation. note suprà, on p. 217.)

The "clipping," to which Latimer adverts in the context, does not seem to be very prominent in this edition; it may be more so in one which followed a year or two afterwards. But see the passage in Dr. Wordsworth's Eccles. Biog. vol. ii. 643; and Herbert's Typog. Antiq. p. 1796.

Page 536, note (1).]—The following is the passage of the "Loci Communes" to which the bishop of Lincoln refers, as it appears for the first time in the Edition of 1541, cap. "De participatione Mensæ Domini: "—

"Disputant etiam de metaphorâ. Sed sentis, Christum verè adesse sacramento suo, et ibi efficacem esse. Sicut ait Hilarius: Quæ sumpta et hausta faciunt, ut Christus sit in nobis et nos in Christo.' Et Cyrillus inquit in Joan. cap. 15: Unde considerandum est, non habitudine solum, quæ per caritatem intelligitur, Christum in nobis esse, verum etiam participatione naturali.'

In the Edition of 1561, under the head "De Cœnâ Domini," the passage is thus revised:

"Nec est inane speculum, sed Christus reverà adest, dans per hoc ministerium suum corpus et sanguinem manducanti et bibenti, sicuti et veteres scriptores loquuntur: Cyrillus in Joanne inquit: Unde considerandum est, Christum non solum per dilectionem in vobis esse, sed etiam naturali participatione,' &c. Et Hilarius ait," &c.

The revisions made in the successive Editions of Melancthon's "Common Places," from 1541 to 1555, were such as to render them almost new works.

"Your lordship often doth inculke."]-This reading of the first Edition, p. 1372, "inculke," is altered subsequently into "repeat" but it occurs suprà vol. iv. 604, and vol. vi. 223; and may be supported or illustrated from Sir Thomas More: "Whereas Christ hath ... so often repeated it, and in such effectuall wise inculked it." (Workes, p. 1099.) Page 541, line 6.]-For "bishops" we ought to read "Proconsul:" see Acta Cypriani, § 3.

Page 511, line 9. "And again demanded. ]-After the Edition of 1563 the

word "being" is inserted before “demanded;" as if Latimer had been asked the question, or rather Cyprian. But the notion that Cyprian was asked, would be inconsistent with the history: and the question comes better from than to Latimer on this supposition, "he" in the next line but one, and at the end of the paragraph, means Latimer.

Many eminent persons interceded in his behalf, and the departure of Queen Bona, who left Poland the same year, removed the great obstacle to his return. He arrived in Poland in June 1555, but remained for some time concealed at Ivanovitze, in the house of a noble lady called Agnes Dluski." See Krasinski's Sketch of the Reformation in Poland, vol. i. p. 278. Lond. 1838.

Lord Robert Stuarde Bishoppe of Catheness," &c., and entitled, "Copie of a letter sent in to Scotlande, of the arrival and landynge, and most noble marryage of the most Illustre Prynce Philippe," &c., and concludes, "From the citie of London this new yeares day, and the first of ye Kalendars of January, 1555. By your Reverende Lordeshippes humble oratour, John Elder." Imprinted in Fletestrete, by John Waylande. (Dibdin's Typograph. Ant. iii. 525.) There is a copy of this letter in the Grenville Library, vol. i. p. 221.

Page 597, line 29. "Charge us with dissension and repugnance among ourselves."-These variations are not at all peculiar to the Protestants; the Bishop of Winchester himself and many others were, to say the least, equally at variance with themselves, and " "pliable." See the Addenda for a curious illustration of this.

Page 598, note (18). "In Gloss. [in cap. 56]' non iste.' Thom. parte 3," &c.] -In the Secunda Secunde, however, of Aquinas the very words are, "sed manet quamdiu per calorem naturalem digeratur." The Gloss above referred to on cap. 56, Non iste, is as follows, taken from the edition Venetiis, 1477: "Non incorporatur, sicut cæteri cibi qui in stomacho digeruntur, vel non descendit in stomachum, sicut ille cibus corporalis, vel non transit in sustentationem corporis, sicut ille; est enim cibus animæ non corporis," &c.

"The syxt of John speaketh not of anye promise made to the eating of a token of Christes fleshe: p. 10, line 24. The syxt of John must nedes be understanded of corporall eatynge in the sacrament: p. 19, lin. 9."

Page 606.]-It appears from the title of Foxe's Latin edition of these Examinations, Basil, 1559, that Philpot wrote these examinations himself, and that they were translated into Latin by Foxe: "Mira ac elegans cum primis Historia vel Tragædia potius, de tota ratione Examinationis et Condemnationis J. Philpotti, Archidiaconi Wincestriæ, nuper in Anglia exusti:_ab autore primum lingua sua congesta; nunc in Latinam versa, interprete J. F. A.”

When we consider the difficulties under which Philpot wrote (see pp. 648, 656, 659, 677, 680), we shall not wonder at finding many imperfections in the style, which he had no opportunity of revising. Grindal, in a letter to Foxe, dated August 1st, 1556 (Grindal's Works, Parker Soc. p. 221) observes: "De Philpotti examinationibus hoc tibi dicam quod sentio. Sunt in illis quædam quæ limâ opus habent. Videtur sese nescio quomodo irretire in vocabulis quibusdam non satis approbatis, quod Christus sit realiter in cœna, &c. Si liber Anglicus non fuisset divulgatus, potuissent quædam in eo mitigari.
