exasperated if they sometimes go beyond the bounds of their Authority but must be left to God's Judgment when they will not yield to the humble admonitions and Remonstrances of the Clergy for his part Ivo protests that were he oblig'd in obedience to his Superiors to readmit an Excommunicate person in to the Church without penance or satisfaction he would do it by some such Form as this Do not deceive your Self I admit you into the visible Church notwithstanding the Crimes you are guilty of but I cannot open to you the Gates of the Kingdom of Heaven and therefore I absolve you no farther than I have power to do it those of more Courage and Piety may find out better methods in such cases This seems to me proper enough not that I hereby prescribe to others but to prevent farther mischiefs to the Church think it best to submit thus far to the necessity of the Times The CLXXIId Letter contains a judgment given by Ivo in Favour of the Monks of St. Laurner at Blois against the Abbot and Monks of Vendôme concerning a Chappel near Baugency which he adjudges to belong to the Jurisdiction of the former notwithstanding the Abbot of Vendôme's having appeal'd to the Holy See In the CLXXIIId he relates to Pope Paschal what had pass'd at the Tryal of Rotroc who he tells him has now appeal'd to his Holiness In the CLXXIVth he assures Mathilda Queen of England that he will pray for the Soul of her Brother Edgar King of Scotland who died without issue in the Year 1107. for though he doubts not but his Soul is in Abraham's bosom yet since we cannot be certain of the State of Souls in the other World it is a piece of commendable Devotion to pray even for those in Heaven that their happiness may be augmented and for those in Purgatory that their sins may be forgiven them In the CLXXVth he excuses himself to Pope Paschal for not appearing at the Council he cites him to held at Troyes Anno 1107. by reason of his being very much indispos'd but tells his Holiness he has sent his three Arch-Deacons in his stead In the CLXXVIth to the same Pope he prays him not to oblige Volgrin Chancellor of the Church of Chartres to accept of the Bishoprick of Dol to which he was Elected by the Deputies of that Church in the Council of Troyes and. In the CLXXVIIth Letter he acquaints the Clergy of Dol that Volgrin will not accept of that Bishoprick In the CLXXVIIIth he Counsels Geofry Bishop of Beauvais to punish one of his Clergy who had admitted to Divine Service and consorted with an Excommunicated person In the CLXXIXth to Adela Countess of Chartres he complains of her denying the Clergy of his Church the privileges of Travelling the Roads and of buying Bread and Wine and threatens her in case she do not Revoke the Orders she has publish'd to this Effect that the whole Clergy of the Province shall dayly curse her at the high Altar The CLXXXth Letter gives Ledger Arch-Bishop of Bourges advice to abate sometimes the Rigour of justice and not to be so wholly govern'd by some of his Clergy as not to doe any thing but according to their Pleasures even in judicial matters as hapned lately in the case of Arnoulf of Vierson who was so exasperated by his hard usage that he was forc'd to appeal to Rome upon the very first hearing before them The CLXXXIst is to Richard Bishop of Albane the Popes Legate upon a dispute between the Monks of Vezelay and those of St. Lucian at Beauvais about a Church they both of them laid claim to The CLXXXIId is to Daimbert Arch-Bishop of Sens concerning a difference between Ivo and the Chapter of Chartres who had oppos'd and violently affronted him for conferring the Office of Sub-Dean upon Fulk The Arch-Bishop is agreed upon to be Judge between them and Ivo prays him to appoint the day and place where their cause shall be heard which he wishes may be at Chartres In the CLXXXIII to William Bishop of Paris he asserts that if a Man challenge a Woman for his Wife upon pretence that her Father promis'd her to him he must bring witnesses of such promise and that the Tryal by single combat is not to be allowed in cases of this Nature The CLXXXIVth to Walter Library-Keeper of Beauvais maintains that all Actions about Goods belonging to the Church are to be brought before Ecclesiastical Judges In the CLXXXVth he gives answer to what William Arch-Bishop of Rouen had written him about one who had gottten himself Ordain'd Sub-Deacon before he had pass'd the inferior degrees of Holy Orders In strictness of Law Ivo acknowledges that he should not be permitted to exercise the functions of the Order he has obtain'd nor to Rise to the higher Orders however if his Life and Conversation be unexceptionable and the good of the Church require it he thinks the Arch-Bishop may give him the Clerical Benediction and let him assist at Ordinations not to be Re-Ordain'd but to Confirm him in his Orders In the CLXXXVIth Letter he Answers several Questions propos'd to him by Laurence a Monk of the Monastery of Charity 1. He asserts that we are oblig'd to avoid only those that are Excommunicated for the most notorious and abominable faults 2. That of such we are not to receive any thing but in extream necessity nor are we to give them any thing but for their relief in utmost want and misery 3. That those of the Clergy who buy of Lay-men goods that formerly belong'd to the Church or receive such from them by way of Gift are much to blame if they doe it with any other design but of restoring them to the Church 4. That they who in private Confession discover themselves to be guilty of the greatest crimes are not therefore to be Excommunicated nor put to publick penance as publick offenders however they are to be admonish'd to abstain from the Sacrament and from the Functions of their Orders if they are Ecclesiasticks 5. That the Sacraments are not the less profitable for being administred by wicked Priests nor 6. by Simoniacal ones or such as are Married 7. That the People ought not to abandon their Prelate nor fail in their obedience to him though in many respects blameable till he is publickly Condemn'd or Excommunicated 8. That Confession of common and small sins may be made to any Christian but that great faults are to be confess'd only to those who have the power of binding and loosing 9. That one may entertain an Excommunicated Person provided he doe not Eat with him nor salute him In the CLXXXVIIth he admonishes the Countess of Chartres to leave troubling the Abbot and Monks of Bonneval on Account of the murder of Hugh the Black In the CLXXXVIIIth to Ralph Arch-Bishop of Rheims he delivers his opinion That a Woman who is deliver'd of a Child within two or three Months after her Marriage is not

HYACINTHUS Cardinal Deacon with the Title of St. Mary was chosen in his Place Celestin III. under the Name of CELESTIN III. and after having been ordain'd on Holy Saturday was plac'd in St. Peter's Chair on Easter-day At that time Henry arriv'd with an Army near Rome and determin'd to enter the City to be Crown'd Emperor Forasmuch as the Pope put him off from time to time the Romans sent Deputies to promise him That if he would engage to preserve their Rights and Privileges and to demolish the Castles that were built at Frascati they would admit him and would oblige the Pope to solemnize his Coronation He accordingly consented and took an Oath before the Pope at the Door of St. Peter's Church that he would maintain the Ecclesiastical Rights restore St. Peter's Patrimony and rase the Citadel of Frascati Afterwards the Pope caus'd him to enter the Church and actually Crown'd him Emperor and Constance his Wife the Daughter of Roger King of Sicily Empress William sirnam'd the Good King of Sicily the Nephew of that Princess dying she laid claim to the Crown but Tancred her Bastard Brother excluded her and got Possession of the Throne which gave occasion to the War that Henry undertook to subdue that Kingdom He march'd into Italy with a formidable Army A. D. 1196. and treated the Nobility of Sicily in so outragious a manner that his own Wife being sensibly afflicted with the Calamities of her Nation joyn'd with them against her Husband and compell'd him by force to grant them reasonable terms of Peace Henry did not long survive that Reconciliation for he dy'd at Messina in 1197. Pope Celestin excommunicated him some time before for detaining Prisoner Richard King of England whom Leopold Duke of Austria had sold to him after having seiz'd on that valiant Prince in his Territories as he was returning from his Expedition to the Holy Land Upon account of that Excommunication the Arch-bishop of Messina refus'd to bury him in consecrated Ground till he had consulted the Pope Therefore he went to meet his Holiness and requested of him three Things viz. 1. A Licence to interr the Emperor's Body according to due Form 2. The deliverance of Marcowald his Imperial Majesty's Chief Justice who was besieged by the Romans And 3. That Frederick the Son of Henry might be Crown'd King of Sicily Celestin reply'd as to the first Article That the Emperor could not be bury'd without the consent of the King of England and till the Mony were restor'd to that Prince which he had exacted from him for his Ransom As to the second Article That the setting of Marcowald at Liberty depended on the Pleasure of the Romans He granted the last Article on condition that the Sum of a thousand Marks of Silver should be paid to him and as many to the Cardinals and after that the Empress had taken an Oath upon the Holy Gospels That Frederick was begotten in lawful Wedlock of Her and Henry As for the Succession to the Empire it was contested between Philip the Brother of Henry deceased and Otho the Son of the Duke of Saxony as we shall have occasion to shew hereafter Pope Celestin did not long survive the Emperor Henry for he fell Sick on the Festival of Christmas in the same Year and died Jan. 8. A. D. 1198. It remains only for compleating the History of these Popes to give some account of their Letters The Letters of Anastasius IV. are few in number In the First he reprehends Engebaud Arch-bishop of Tours for neglecting to acquaint him with the high Misdemeanours of which Anastasius IV's Letters the Bishop of Treguier is accus'd and orders him incessantly to Summon that Prelate to appear in his Court and if he find him guilty of the Crimes laid to his charge that is to say of having riotously wasted the Revenues of his Church of having conferr'd Orders contrary to the Canonical Constitutions and of having committed Simony and Perjury to send him to the Holy See to the end that he might be punish'd according to the severity of the Canons In the Second he writes to Hugh Arch-bishop of Sens and to his Suffragans to look upon the Inhabitants of Vezelay as under a Sentence of Excommunication by reason of the Persecutions that they rais'd against Ponce Abbot of the Monastery of that place He writes the same thing to the Count and Lords of Burgundy in the Third which only differs from the former in the Superscription By the Fourth he orders Peter Arch-bishop of Bourges to excommunicate the Count of Nevers and the Inhabitants of Vezelay unless they gave Satisfaction to the Abbot and Monastery of Vezelay within thirty days after the Monition is exhibited to them He writes again on the same Subject to Lewis VII King of France to the Bishops of that Kingdom and to Ponce Abbot of Vezelay in his Fifth Sixth and Seventh Letters In the Eleventh he confirms the Statutes of the Regular Canons of St. John at Lateran In the Twelfth he takes into his Protection the Order of the Knights of St. John at Jerusalem and ratifies their Privileges The First of the Letters attributed to Pope Adrian IV. is a Privilege granted to the King of England to make himself Master of Ireland referr'd to by Matthew Paris But it is a Adrian IV's Letters very doubtful Piece and there are no grounds to rely upon it The Second is the Letter that gave offence to Frederick and in which the Pope complains That the Bishop of London was misus'd in the Emperor's Dominions as he was returning from the Holy See and that he did not take care to revenge that Indignity To induce him to do it he entreats him to call to mind with what kindness he was receiv'd at Rome the preceding
JOHN of Salisbury the intimate Friend of Thomas Becket Arch-bishop of Canterbury and his John of Salisbury Bishop of Chartres Companion during his Exile was at last made Bishop of Chartres A. D. 1179. and died three Years after He was one of the most ingenious most polite and most learned Men of that Age as is evident from his Book call'd Pâ—licraticon or A Discovery of the Fopperies of the Lords of the Court Justus Lipsius assures us that many considerable pieces of Purple and Fragments of a better Age are to be found in that Work Peter of Blois in like manner declares that he was even charm'd with it having discover'd therein a well regulated sort of Learning and abundance of Things the Variety of which renders them extremely delightful And indeed 't is an excellent Work treating of the Employments Occupations Functions Vertues and Vices of the Men of the World but more especially of Princes Potentates and great Lords in which is contain'd a vast Treasure of Moral Notions Sentences fine Passages of Authors Examples Apologues Extracts of History common Places c. 'T is divided into Eight Books and compos'd in a plain and concise Style But this Style is more proper for the numerous Letters which the same Author wrote to the Popes Adrian and Alexander to the Kings of England and divers other Princes to Thomas Becket Arch-bishop of Canterbury to several English Bishops and to many other Persons either about general Occurrences and Transactions as the Schism of Octavian the Antipope and the Election of Alexander III. the contest between the Pope and the Emperor Frederick and that between the King of England and the Arch-bishop of Canterbury or relating to particular Affairs of the Churches of England or to certain Points of Doctrine and Discipline As the 172d Letter concerning the Number of Writers of the Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament the 67th about the nullity of a second Marriage which a certain Woman had contracted after she was divorc'd from her former Husband who was a Priest the 68th about the cohabitation of Women with Clerks and the 69th about the Sums of Mony that were exacted of the Vicars of Churches In these Letters he appears to be much addicted to the Interest of Thomas of Canterbury whose conduct nevertheless he sometimes censures and seems likewise to be much devoted to the Pope's Service although he does not always approve every thing that is done at Rome and condemns the Vices of the Cardinals on certain Occasions He openly approves the deposing of the Emperor Frederick and the Proceedings of Pope Alexander against him His Letters are full of Allusions to the Sacred History and of Examples taken out of Holy Scripture in which he also intermixes many Passages of Profane Authors The number of these Letters amounts to 301. and they were printed at Paris A. D. 1611. with the Life of Thomas Becket Arch-bishop of Canterbury by the same Author to whom are likewise attributed certain Commentaries on the Epistles of St. Paul printed at Amsterdam in 1646. PETER of BLOIS Arch-Deacon of Bath PETER sirnam'd of Blois from the Place of his Nativity deriving his extraction from Peter of Blois Arch-deacon of Bath Bretagne study'd the Liberal Sciences at Paris the Civil and Canon Law at Bononia and after having attain'd to a profound skill in all sorts of Humane Learning apply'd himself entirely to the Study of Divinity under the Tuition of John of Salisbury Bishop of Chartres It is also probable that Peter of Blois was Canon of that City however having pass'd into Sicily A. D. 1167. with Stephen the Son of the Count of Perche and the Cousin of the Queen of Sicily he was chosen Tutor and afterwards Secretary to William II. King of Sicily but he was soon oblig'd to leave that Country when Stephen Count of Perche who was made Chancellor of the Kingdom and Arch-bishop of Palermo was banish'd from thence Upon his return to France he was invited over into England by King Henry II. and after having spent some time at Court he retir'd to the Palace of Richard Arch-bishop of Canterbury and became his Chancellor He was sent by that Arch-bishop to King Henry II. and to the Popes Alexander III. and Urban III. to negotiate Affairs relating to the Church of Canterbury and after the Death of King Henry he continued for some time in the Court of Queen Eleonora In the end of his Life he was depriv'd of the Arch-Deaconry of Bath which was conferr'd on him at his arrival in England but some time after he obtain'd that of London in the discharging of which Duty he took a great deal of pains and enjoy'd only a small Revenue He died in England A. D. 1200. Peter de Blois himself made a Collection of his Letters by the Order of Henry II. King of England as he intimates in his first Letter directed to that Prince in which he observes That they are not all alike that sometimes the great number of urgent Affairs oblig'd him to write with less accuracy that sometimes the Subject did not allow him to enlarge and that sometimes the meanness of the Capacity of those Persons to whom he wrote constrain'd him to make use of a more plain Style He excuses himself for citing profane Authors as also for speaking freely and even for presuming to reprove his Prince He protests that to the best of his remembrance he never wrote any thing with a Design to Flatter but that Integrity and an unfeigned Zeal for maintaining the Truth always excited him to set Pen to Paper The Second is a Letter of Consolation directed to the same King on the Death of his Son Henry III. in which he induces him to hope for the Salvation of that young Prince who died in a course of Repentance In the Third he severely reprehends a certain great Lord who had reproach'd his Chaplain with the meanness of his Birth and gives him to understand that none ought to be puff'd up either upon account of Nobility or Riches In the Fourth he congratulates the Prior of Cisteaux upon the Tranquillity he enjoy'd in his Solitude protesting that he even envy'd his Condition and entreats the same Prior to remember him in his Prayers and Oblations In the Fifth he reproves Richard the Successor of Thomas Becket in the Arch-bishoprick of Canterbury for applying himself with greater earnestness to the maintenance of the Temporal Interests of his Church than to the Spiritual Government of his Diocess remonstrating that his Diocesans and Prince are very much scandaliz'd at those Proceedings In the Sixth to wipe off the reproaches that a certain School-Master who undertook to teach the Liberal Sciences had put upon the Clerks who live in the Palaces of Bishops he asserts That his Profession was more contrary to the Ecclesiastical Function than the conduct of those Clergy-men In the Seventh he rebukes a Professor who was addicted to Drunkenness In the Eighth he

Henry Duke of Bavaria but understanding that William was in his march to set upon him with a numerous Army he betook himself back again into Apuleia where he died not without suspicion of being poisoned by his Brother Manfred the 22d of May in 1254 leaving his Son Conradine Heir to Sicily Manfred who did not care for The Government of Manfred in Sicily parting with Sicily pretended a desire of being friends with the Pope and thereupon invites him to come to Sicily Accordingly the Pope comes with an Army to make himself acknowledged Soveraign of that Kingdom but Manfred quickly picks a quarrel with him and routs part of his Army which so seized upon Innocent's Spirits that he died at Naples the 7th of December 1254. Alexander the 4th who succeeded him did not lay down his Predecessor's design upon Sicily but he had no better fortune Manfred defeated his Troops and made himself Master of Apuleia and Sicily The Pope seeing he was not able to maintain this War gave the Kingdom to Edmund Son of the King of England and dispensed with the Vow of that King to go for the Holy Land on condition he would make war upon Manfred against whom he also appointed a Crusade While Manfred was strengthening himself in the Kingdom of Sicily Ecelin who took the Troubles in the Empire and Italy part of Frederick's Heirs had made himself master of Lombardy and the Pope to drive him from thence had published a Crusade against him too at Venice The greatest part of Germany had acknowledged William for their Soveraign and as he was preparing to take a journey into Italy there to receive the Imperial Crown he was forced to march against the Friezlanders who had entered into Holland but going against them he fell into a Fen that was frozen and was there killed by an Ambuscade of his Enemies in December 1256. After his death the German Princes were divided about the Election of an Emperor some of them declaring for Richard Brother to the King of England and the others for Alphonsus King of The Elections of Alphonsus and Richard to the Empire Castile The former was Elected at Francfort on the Octave of the Epiphany in the year 1257 by Conrade Archbishop of Cologn who was also Proxy for Gerard Archbishop of Mentz by Lewis Count Palatine of the Rhine and Henry Duke of Bavaria the other in Lent by Arnold Archbishop of Treves as Proxy for the King of Bohemia the Duke of Saxony the Marquiss of Brandenburgh and many other Princes Thus did the German Princes basely sell the Honor of their Nation and their own Votes to Strangers who for many years together disputed the Empire without ever agreeing the matter All which time Lombardy was the Seat of the War between the Guelphs and Gibelines of the former of which Albert of the latter Ecelin was the Head The latter was wounded and taken Prisoner in 1260 and died of his wounds after having for four and thirty years been master of the most considerable Cities in Lombardy His death set Italy at rest which was not long after broken by the War between the Venetians and Genouese Richard and Alphonsus were elected Emperors but got nothing by it save the bare Title Alphonsus never set foot in Germany and Richard being come to Francfort after having spent all that he was worth was forced to return to England In their absence Ottogar King of Bohemia extended his Dominions in Germany so that in a short time he was become one of the most powerful Princes in Europe In Italy Urban the 4th who succeeded Alexander had published a Crusade against Manfred and all that sided with him in Apuleia or Lombardy and stirred up some French Lords to come into Italy Manfred on his part entred with his Troops into the Estate of the Church and to strengthen himself against the Pope entred into an Alliance with Jame's the 3d King of Arragon by marrying his Daughter Constantia to Peter the King 's eldest Son The Pope on his side seeing that Edmund could not prosecute the Conquest of the Kingdom of Sicily by reason of the Troubles that were in England invested Charles Earl of Anjou Brother of St. Louis therewith who came to Rome in 1265 and was there crown'd King of Sicily on the 28th of June by Clement the 4th Urban's Successor Charles Earl of Anjou defeats Manfred and seizes himself upon Sicily who also made him Senator of that City He was followed with an Army by Sea and Land and giving Battel to Manfred on the 26th of February the following year near Benevento he gained an absolute and bloody Victory over his Troops Manfred himself being killed upon the spot After his Death the Kingdom of Sicily submitted to the Conqueror but Conradin whose right this Kingdom was wrote a Letter to the Princes of Europe wherein he laid open the justice of his Pretensions and implored their assistance for its recovery He got together an Army composed for the most part of Voluntiers with which by the advice Conradin disputes the Kingdom of Sicily with Charles he is defeated and executed of Henry Brother of Alphonsus he made a Descent into Tuscany where he surprized and cut in pieces those Forces which Charles whom the Pope had constituted Vicar of the Empire in that Country had left there and at the same time Conrade a Son of one of the Emperor Frederick's Bastards who was come from Antioch drew off all Sicily from their Obedience except Messma and Palermos while Conradin by the assistance of the Gibelines made himself Master of all Tuscany and Romagna and entred in Triumph into Rome where he was proclaimed Emperor by the People But being entred into Campania with a design to go into Sicily Charles met him at the Lake of Fucin called the Lake of Celano where he gave him Battel on the 25th of August 1268 in which Charles got the day Conradin Frederick Duke of Austria and Henry of Castile betook themselves to flight but happening to be known in the way were brought back again to the Conqueror who put them into prison and gave them their Trial the next year Conradin and Frederick were put to death and Henry of Castile confined to Prison Just about the same time too Conrade was taken by some of Charles's Party who hanged him up and a short time after Entius the only one remaining of the Princes of Suabia died in his Prison of Bologna Thus unhappily perished the whole Race of the Emperor Frederick The House of Austria quickly succeeded that of Suabia in Glory and Power for Richard The Election of Rodolphus to the Empire and his Actions being dead and Alphonsus having no friends left him in Germany the Electors assembled themselves in October 1273 at Francfort according to the counsel of Pope Gregory X. and there elected Rodolphus Earl of Hapsburg without any regard had to the Remonstrances of the Deputies of Alphonsus or

BALDWIN Earl of Flanders and Emperor of Constantinople has writ a long circular Baldwin Letter being a Relation of the taking of Constantinople by the Latins in 1204 wherein he takes care to forget nothing that may render the Greeks odious It is to be met with in the Annals of Rainaldus and in a Collection of some Pieces by Aubert de la Mire GEOFFREY Lord of Villehardwin near Troies in Champagne composed in French the Geoffrey History of the taking of Constantinople by the Latins where he himself assisted It is written in an old Stile but after a noble and impartial manner GONTHIER a Monk in the Monastry of Paris in the Diocess of Basil who flourished about Gonthier the beginning of this Century has left us the History of the taking of Constantinople by the Latins the Circumstances of which he had from Abbot Martin an Eye-witness It was published by Canisius in the first Tome of his Antiquities ARNOLD Provost of the Church of Hildesheim and afterwards Abbot of Lubeck flourished Arnold in the Reigns of the Emperors Philip and Otho IV. He is the Author of the Continuation of the Chronicle of the Sclavonians made by Helmoldus from the year 1171 to the year 1209. This Work was printed at Lubeck in 1659 larger in the first Edition of Helmoldus at Franckfort in 1556 which contains only the nine first Chapters Yet this wants the four last Chapters which have been published by Meibomius with the Opuscula Historica and printed at Helmstadt in 1660. Vossius's Remarks upon this Author is that he is to be credited in what relates to the History of the Sclavonians but not in what he has written of the Histories of Italy Sicily and Greece GERVAIS Sirnamed of Tilbury from the name of the Town where he was born Gervais which is in England upon the Thames of the Family of Henry the II. King of England and Great Marshal of the Kingdom of Arles flourished much about the year 1210 and wrote divers Historical Works among others An Universal History of the Kingdoms of the West with the Title of Otia Imperialia An History of England and some others which are kept up in Libraries out of which there 's no great likelihood of their quickly being set free WALTER MAPES an Englishman distinguished himself by his Wit under Henry II. Walter Mapes John and Richard Kings of England Though he was Canon of Salisbury Chanter of Lincoln and afterwards Archdeacon of Oxford yet he could not forbear making Satyrical Verses upon the Popes Cardinals and other Ecclesiasticks wherein he very freely censures their Irregularities You may see these Poetical Pieces themselves in the first Tome of the memorable Lessons of Voltius and a Catalogue of them here The Revelation of Priest Golias Four Pieces against disorderly Ecclesiasticks and one against the Irregularities of the Court of Rome WILBRANDUS of Oldenburg Canon of Hildesheim in the year 1211 made a Voyage Wilbrandus into the Holy Land whereof he has given us a Relation a part of which was published by Allarius in his Collection of Pieces printed at Cologn in 1653. Allatius commends this Author for a learned and curious Man his Stile is close and Historical but he dos not make use of many barbarous words ROBERT a Regular Canon of the Order of Premontre in the Monastry of St. Marianus Robert and Hugh of Auxerre composed a Chronology from the beginning of the World to the year 1212 the time of his Death It was published by Nicholaus Camuzatus Canon of Tours and printed at Troies in 1608 with a Continuation of it by HUGH Canon Regular of the same Monastry LAMBERT of Leige a Benedictine Monk of St. Laurence of Duitz is thought most probably Lambert to have flourished at the beginning of this Age. He wrote the Life of Herbert Archbishop of Cologn some Hymns and some Epigrams About the same time the Life of St. William Abbot of Roschild who died in 1202 was wrote A nameless Author by an Anonymous Author PETER a Monk of the Valleys of Cornay of the Order of Citeaux in the Diocess of Paris Peter accompanied his Abbot Guy afterwards Bishop of Carcassonne in his Voyage to Languedock to encounter the Albigensâ—s he being one of the 12 Abbots appointed by Innocent III. for this purpose Peter by the Order of Innocent III. has wrote a History of the Albigenses printed at Troies in 1615 and in the Library of Citeaux published by Father Tissier We shall have occasion to talk of him when we come to the History of the Albigenses About the same time WILLIAM of Puilâ—â—rent wrote a Chronicle of the Heresy of the William Albigenses printed at Thoulouse in 1623 and among Duchesne's French Historians JOHN of Oxford Dean of Salisbury flourished about the beginning of this Century and John of Oxford wrote a History of England and a Relation of his Voyage into Sicily About the same time with him lived JOHN Abbot of Fordeham Confessor to John John of Fordeham King of England He wrote the Life of St. Wolfrick the Actions of King John and a Chronicle of Scotland About the year 1214 JOCELINE BRAKELONDE an English Monk of the Monastry Joceline of Brakelonde John Gray of Usk composed a Chronicle of his Monastry a Treatise of the Election of Hugh and the Life of St. Robert Martyr JOHN GRAY Bishop of Norwich much about the same time wrote a Chronicle as did Adam of Barking HUGH WHITE a Benedictine Monk of Peterborough has wrote a History of his own Hugh White Monastry and of the Foundation of the Church of Mercy PREPOSITIVUS a famous Divine of Paris flourished about the year 1225. He composed Prepositivus a Sum of Scholastical Divinity which has not yet been printed but is very common in Manuscript in Libraries St. Thomas sometimes quotes it in his Sum. CESAIRE Monk of the Order of Citeaux in the Monastry of Heisterback into which he Cesaire was entred in 1199 and was afterwards made Prior of that of Villiers in Brabant composed a great Work in 12 Books Dialogue-wise in imitation of St. Gregory containing an account of the Miracles and Visions that happened in his time particularly in Germany He assures us in the Preface that none of it is his own Invention but all that he wrote he had from others But yet he is not to be excus'd for his too easily crediting those who did not deserve it and upon their relation heaping together as he has done in this Work a great many idle and forged Stories He likewise composed in 1226 three Books of the Life and Passion of St. Engelbert Arch-bishop of Cologn and Homilies upon the Sundays and Holidays of the whole year These Works have been printed viz. His History of Miracles at Cologn in 1591 and in Father Tissier's first Tome
At first the Clergy and Laity were alarm'd at his Coming but that Cardinal behav'd himself with The Council of London 1237. a great deal of Moderation and Prudence He reconcil'd the Lords refus'd part of the Presents which they offer'd him and appointed a Synod to be held at London for the reforming the Discipline The King of England shew'd him a great deal of Respect which made the Grandees of the Kingdom to murmur The King of Scotland was more reserv'd and would not permit the Legate to enter his Dominions telling him that he had no occasion for a Legate in his Kingdom that all was well enough there that they had never seen any Legate there that he would never suffer any that besides he would not do well to expose his Person by coming thither because the People of his Country were Savage and Cruel and might perhaps abuse him The Council Appointed to be Held at London by the Legate was Held there on the next Day after the Octave of St. Martin The Legate appear'd there seated on a Magnificent Throne the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury on his Right-Hand and the Arch-Bishop of York on his Left who both of them made Protestations for the preservation of their Privileges Afterwards the Legate made a Speech to the Prelates of the Council on the Prudence and Wisdom of Ecclesiasticks On the Morrow the King sent Commissioners to the Council who should warn the Legate That he did nothing which might infringe the King's Prerogative and one of them stay'd in the Council to take care of it The Legate order'd the Letters of his Legation to be Read On the third Day they made an end of Reading the Decrees which the Legate propos'd in the Council which began to be Read the first Day They are Thirty one The First concerns the Dedication of Churches and implies That it deriv'd its Original from the Old and New Testament and has been observ'd by the Holy Fathers under the New That it ought to be Solemniz'd with greater Dignity and Care since then they only Offer'd Sacrifices of Dead Beasts whereas now they Offer on the Altar by the Hands of the Priest a Living and True Sacrifice namely the Only Son of God Therefore the Fathers have with Reason order'd That so Sublime an Office should be Celebrated only in Consecrated Places at least when no necessity requires its being done elsewhere Having therefore seen and understood that a great many despise or neglect this Sacred Ministry and having met with a great many Churches even Cathedrals which tho' Ancient have not as yet been Consecrated with the Holy Oyl to remedy this Neglect they order That all Cathedral Conventual and Parochial Churches which are compleatly Built shall be Consecrated within two Years by the Diocesan Bishops or by their Authority and the same time is prescrib'd for those which shall be Built hereafter And that this Stature may be observ'd they prohibit the Celebration of Mass in those Churches which shall not have been Consecrated within two Years after they shall be Built They forbid the Abbots and Curates to pull down old Consecrated Churches under a pretence of making them finer without the consent of the Bishop of the Diocess who shall take care to see whether it be fit to be granted or no and if he grants it he shall see that the new One be finish'd forthwith As to Chappels they order nothing in particular with respect to them The next Canons contain the Doctrine of the Sacraments In the Second the number of them is determin'd and 't is declar'd That they ought to be Celebrated with Purity and Graâ—…tously The Third is upon Baptism 't is therein determin'd That the time of Administring it Solemnly is Holy Saturday and the Saturday in Whitsun-Week that Infants ought to be Baptiz'd on those Days and it enjoins Curates to Teach their Parishioners the Form of Baptism that so they may Administer it in Case of necessity The Fourth is against those who require Money for giving Absolution and the other Sacraments The Fifth imports That the Bishops shall take care to Nominate in each Deanery Prudent and Wise Confessors to Confess the Clerks who are asham'd to Confess themselves to the Deans and that there shall be in Cathedrals a General Penitentiary The Sixth That those who are to be Ordain'd shall be Examined and that a Register shall be kept of those who shall be Approv'd that so others might not mix themselves with them The Seventh prohibits the Farming out of Benefices and especially Dignities The Eighth imports That if any Churches be Leas'd out it shall be only for five Years The Ninth That they shall not Let out Leases for ever The Tenth That the Vicars shall be Priests and oblig'd to Personal Residence in the Churches which they are to Serve The Eleventh That they shall not give away the Benefices of the Absent upon the Report of their being Dead unless they are assur'd of it The Twelfth prohibits the dividing of Benefices The Thirteenth renews the Decrees concerning Residence and against those who have Pluralities The Fourteenth regulates the manner of the Habits of the Clergy and recommends to the Bishops to be the first in giving an Example to others The Fifteenth to prevent the Marriages which some Clerks contracted Clandestinely to save their Benefices declares the Children born of such Marriages uncapable of holding Benefices The Sixteenth renews the Ecclesiastical Statutes against Clerks who kept Concubines The Seventeenth prohibits the Children of Clerks from Possessing the Benefices of their Fathers The Eighteenth is against those who Protect and give Shelter to Highway-Men The Nineteenth prohibits all the Monks from Eating Flesh and orders That their Novices shall be oblig'd to Profess at the end of their Year Which is likewise extended to Regular Canons The Twentieth enjoins the Arch-Deacons to do their Duty with Diligence and not to burden the Churches by excessive Duties of Procuration The Twenty first forbids the Ecclesiastical Judges to hinder the Parties from Agreeing The Twenty second exhorts the Bishops to Reside in their Churches there to Celebrate Divine Service on the chief Festivals of the Year on the Sundays of Advent and Lent and to see that their Diocesses be Visited The Twenty third imports That Care shall be taken to Place able Judges especially in Matrimonial Causes and that the Judges of Abbots who are in Possession shall not pass a definitive Sentence till after they have Consulted the Bishop of the Diocess The Eight other Constitutions relate to the various Forms of Justice and the Conditions which make these Acts Authentick These Decrees were Read in the Council and the Prelates of England hearkened to them very quietly There was only the Bishop of Worcester who Remonstrated touching the Prohibition of having Pluralities That this Law could not be observ'd in England because there were a great many Persons of Quality that enjoy'd several Benefices who liv'd honourably upon them and

their General than his but the General would not obey him but answered the Pope proudly Nevertheless he desired Eight days Consideration and in the mean time fled with two other Grey-Friars to Marseille The Pope sent after him to seize him but he was Embarked to Sail into Italy whither he was going to Lewis of Bavaria and the Antipope John de Corbario John XXII proceeded against Michael de Cesena deposed him and order'd the Grey-Friars to choose another General This Pope had another Contest of greater Consequence concerning the time when the Beatifick The Question of the Happiness of the Saints after death debated by Joh. XXII Vision of God is granted to those who die in a State of Religion In a Sermon which he preached the Third Sunday in Advent 1329. he maintained That the Blessed should not see the Trinity before the Day of Judgment He taught the same Doctrine in another Sermon which he preach'd on the Feast of All-Saints 1331. which he caused to be transcribed and he gave out several Copies of it Lastly In a Third Sermon which he preach'd on the Eve of Epiphany in 1332. he asserted That till the Day of Judgment the Souls of the Saints were under the Altar and did not see the Holy Trinity but only the Humanity of Jesus Christ. This Opinion offended several persons and moved the Divines of the Contrary Judgment A White-Friar named Thomas de Wallis had the Boldness to preach the Contrary Doctrine at Avignon by which he incensed the Pope so much that he put him in Prison and caused him to be fed with Bread and Water only Durandus à S. Portiano of the Order of Friars Preachers and Bishop of Meaux made a Treatise against that Opinion which much disturbed the Pope's Mind whereupon he Summoned him before him and Examined his Work The Cardinals and other Divines of his Court who were before offended at his Opinion remained silent for Fear or out of respect to the Pope and some also embraced and maintained that Opinion but the Doctors of Paris openly disapproved it and made a great Noise about it The Pope after this sent two Legates to Paris viz. Gerhard Minister-General of the Grey-Friars and another Monk of the Order of Preaching-Friars to Treat of a Peace between the Kings of England and Scotland and charged them to insinuate their Opinion to the Doctors of Paris The first of them attempting to teach it publickly at Paris in a Meeting of the Students caused a great Disturbance so that his Companion had much a-do to appease them King Philip of Valois was much troubled at the Offence and false Doctrine which that Monk had taught and the latter went to his Majesty to pacifie him The King fearing lest he should perplex himself with the Theological Question answer'd him That he would not discourse him but in the presence of some Divines and having Summoned Ten of the most Able Doctors of Paris of whom Four were Grey-Friars he asked them in the presence of this Minister What was their Judgment concerning the Doctrine which he had taught They all Condemned it as False and Heretical but they could not agree about it A few days after the King caused all the Doctors of Divinity Bishops and Abbots about Paris to meet in the Castle of St. Vincent and invited this Minister thither and propounded two Questions in French to them I. Whether the Souls of the Saints see the Face of God as soon as they are Dead II. Whether the Vision which they have presently after their Death shall cease at the Day of Judgment and another come in stead of it They all answer'd Affirmatively to the First Question And to the Second they said That the Vision that the Saints have presently after Death shall not cease at the Day of Judgment but remains for ever but some of them said that it shall be more perfect after the Day of Judgment The Minister consented to the Opinion of these last at least in appearance The King desired a Certificate of what was thus concluded by this Assembly which they composed and was sealed with the Seals of 29 Divines then present They wrote about it to the Pope and the King wrote to him also himself that he thought it safest to follow the Judgment of the Doctors of Divinity of Paris who knew better what ought to be held and believed in Matters of Faith than Civilians or other Divines who knew little of Divinity That he would Punish those that taught the Contrary threatning him if we may believe Cardinal Peter d' Ailly to Burn him if he did not retract The King also published by Mistake the Judgment of the Faculty The Pope in his Answers to the King complains That his Majesty fixed on the Affirmative so positively and prays him not to rush upon things with so much Passion assuring him that he had no Design fully to determine that Question but to debate it and search out the Truth He wrote to the University to allow the Batchelors of Divinity to defend either of the Opinions and caused his Divines to collect such Passages as might be alledged Pro Con to put things in a way to the Decision of it The Faculty of Divinity would not endure that delay but stuck close to their Doctrine Lastly When John XXII had resolved to determine this Question in a Consistory which he appointed to meet Dec. 2. 1334. he fell Sick and retracted as some say just at the point of Death his Opinion by an Authentick Declaration in which he owns That Souls separated from the Body which are purged from their Sins are in the Kingdom of Heaven and in Paradise with JESUS CHRIST in the Company of Angels That they see God Face to Face and the Divine Essence as clearly as the state and condition of a Soul separated from the Body will permit That he recanted all that he had said preach'd or written against this Doctrine This Declaration is dated Dec. 3. 1334. a few moments before his Death and related by Peter Harantals a Canon Regular of the Order of Praemonstratenses in the Life of this Pope John XXII in the Second Year of his Pontificate Octob. 21. published the Decretals of his Predecessor Clement V. made in the Council of Vienna or a little before and after that Council The Letters of John XXII which Clement V. had already digested in his Life-time which make up the Five Books of Clementines which are in the Body of Civil Law and joyned 20 others of his Constitutions to it which he calls Extravagants to which Five other Books of Common Extravagants have been added among which are several Decretals of Boniface VIII Benedict XI and John XXII In one of his Constitutions He Abrogates the Society of the Fratricolli Beghardi or Beghinae which had spread themselves in all places They were a kind of Monks or Nuns who made a Vow of Poverty and Beggery and assumed a particular Habit

Lives of many Saints as the Monk Himonius affirms There are many of them among those which have been collected by Surius and Bellandus and among others the Lives of St. Hilary of Poictiers St. Albinus of Anger 's St. Germanus of Paris St. Medardus of Noyon St. Radegondes St. Maurilius of Anger 's St. Remigius of Rhemes St. Marcellus of Paris St. Amandus of Rhodes Fortunatus pass'd in his own time for an excellent Orator and a good Poet and not without reason for he did not only excel all the other Poets of his Age but he came near to those of a better not only for the Truth but the Purity of his Expressions not for the Beauty of his Verse but for the Poetical turn he gave it and the wonderful easiness wherewith he wrote in Verse Bandoninia His Poetical Works were printed at Mayence in 1603 and in 1616 and inserted into the Bibliotheques of the Fathers But these Editions were very imperfect F. Labbee has promis'd a more large and correct Edition of them which is said to be all ready for the Press BANDONINIA THis Maid was one brought up by St. Radegondes she has added a second Book of the Life of this Saint to that of Fortunatus 'T is printed by Surius Tome 4. at the 13th day of August St. GERMANUS Bishop of Paris WE have an excellent Letter of this Holy Bishop written to Queen Brunechildes wherein he exhorts her very smartly and withal very respectfully to hinder King Sigibert from making St. Germanus Bishop of Paris War upon King Chilperic In the Title he assumes the Name of a Preacher It is publish'd in the fifth Tome of the Councils p. 923. MARTINUS of Bracara MArtinus who was born in Italy came into Gallaecia where he was Abbot of Dumes and afterward Bishop of Bracara He flourish'd in the time of Miro or Theodomirus King of the Suevi Martinus of Bracara and Athanildes King of the Goths in Spain He converted many of the Suevi held Councils at Bracara in 572 and died in 580. The Principal Ecclesiastical Work of this Bishop is a Collection of the Canons of the Greek Church which he took the pains to translate himself into Latin finding that the former Translations were not faithful It contains 84 Canons or Chapters whereof 68 concern Ecclesiastical Men. The manner of living vertuously a Treatise of the four Cardinal Vertues attribute to Seneca under the Nâ—me of a Book of Manners is this Bishops The Version of some Sentences of the Greek Monks collected by an unknown Author is also attributed to him PASCHASIUS PAschasius a Deacon who liv'd in the time of Martin of Bracara translated at his Request the Questions and Answers of some Greek Monks He dedicates to him his Translation which makes the seventh Book of the Lives of the Fathers in Rosweidus Paschasius JOANNES SCHOLASTICUS Joannes Scholasticus Patriarch of Constantinople Patriarch of Constantinople John surnam'd Scholasticus because he had follow'd for some time the Bar was Ordain'd Priest of the Church of Antioch and had the Commission of a Surrogate to the Church of Constantinople He was put in the place of Eutycheus Patriarch of Constantinople who had been turn'd out by Justinian and govern'd this Church till the Year 578. After his death Eutychius was restor'd This Author made a Collection of the Canons which were dispos'd according to the Order of the Matters and another Collection of Ecclesiastical and Civil Laws and Chapters His Works are printed in the Bibliotheca Juris publish'd by Justellus GREGORY of Tours GEorgius Florentius Gregorius Bishop of Tours was descended of an Illustrious Family of Arvernia and the Son of Florentius Brother of Gullus Bishop of Clermont He succeeded Euphronius Bishop of Gregory of Tours Tours in the Year 574. The principal Work of Gregory is his History of France divided into ten Books In the first having made a Confession of his Faith and given a Scheme or Abridgment of Ecclesiastical History from the beginning of the World he relates the Origine of Christianity among the Gauls by Photinus Bishop of Lyons and the famous Mission of seven Bishops sent in time of the Emperor Decius viz. St. Saterninus to Tholouse St. Gatianus to Tours St. Trophimus to Arleâ— St. Paul to Narbonna St. Denis to Paris St. Stremonius to Clermont and St. Martial to Lemovicum He concludes this Book with the death of St. Martin and in those that follow he continues the Ecclesiastical and Profane History of the Gauls and Franks until his own time i. e. until the Year 596. Fredegarius has since added to it an eleventh Book wherein he has continued the History to the Reign of Charlemagne He wrote also eight other Books concerning the Miracles or the Lives of the Saints In the first he relates the Miracles of Jesus Christ the Apostles and Martyrs In the second he recounts many Miracles of St. Justin who was martyr'd in Arvernia The four following Books contain many Miracles of St. Martyn of Tours the seventh contains the Lives of some Holy Monks entitled The Lives of the Fathers at the end whereof is a Letter concerning the History of the seven Sleepers And the last is concerning the Glory or the Miracles of some holy Confessors He himself mentions his Works which were printed at Paris in 1640. Besides this he wrote a Commentary upon the Psalms and composed a Treatise De Cursibus Ecclesiasticis or The Divine Offices The Lives of some Saints are also attributed to him He speaks of a Preface which he had prefix'd to a Treatise of Messes written by Sidonius Sigibert says that he compos'd his History of France in the way of an Epitome and made a Chronicon This Author had reason to confess himself that his style was rude and rustical which ought not to be taken for a Figure but a sincere Confession of the thing as it is His style is low and mean his words are harsh He was credulous and simple as to the matter of Miracles and vented boldly such Histories as are uncerâ—ain or fabulous But notwithstanding this his History is very useful and contains many things of great consequence He died in the Year 596. GILDAS GIldas to whom is given the Name of Wise was born in England in the Year 520 which was fatal to the Saxons for the Battel fought by Arthur King of the Brittons near the Mountain of Badon which made this Author be surnam'd Badonicus to distinguish him from another Gildas elder Gildas then he surnam'd the Albanian He was the Disciple of Istutus the Abbot of Morgan and was made Abbot of Bangor and founded a Monastery at Venetia in Brittain In the Year 564 he wrote a Lamentation for the Miseries of England with a severe Reprimand to the Members of that Kingdom In this Work he describes rather by weeping then declaiming Evantius as he himself says the former and later Miseries of poor England He speaks freely against its

F. Dacherius's Collection M. Petit hath also carefully gathered the Canons cited under Theodorus's Name in a Collection of the Councils of Spain in the Penitentials of Egbert of York and of Beda in the Roman Penitential and in that of Rabanus by Regino Burchard Ivo Carnutensis Gratian and several other Collectors of Canons But all those Authors have many false Quotations and so their Authority is not much to be relied upon All this shews that we have not the true Penitential of Theodorus in its Integrity and Purity That what Mr. Petit Published under the Title of a Penitential is nothing less than that That the Capitules which he Published also from a Manuscript which Mr. Faber communicated to him are not Theodorus's neither and all the rest of his Collections is taken out of suspicious Monuments Nevertheless he is to be commended for his diligence and labour and we are beholden to him for having gathered together all that bore Theodorus's Name Spelman found in Cambridge Library a great Penitential ascribed to Theodorus of which he gives us the Titles It 's to be wished it were Published that we might see whether it be Theodorus's own Original or another Collection of Canons Mr. Petit joined to Theodorus's Penitential an old compilement of Canons a Collection of divers Monuments about Church Rites and chiefly about Penance taken out of several Manuscripts and a Collection of several Papers Constitutions Bulls Edicts Declarations Privileges Letters Confessions and other pieces which he hath Published These Monuments are accompanied with Two Dissertations the one upon Theodorus's Pastoral Vigilancy to shew that all Bishops are bound not only to take care of their own Church but moreover to watch over all the other to help them in their need The other upon Penance in which he pretends to defend Theodorus's Opinion and to prove against F. Morinus that in the Ancient Church there was no Penance for secret Sins tho' never so grievous Yea and he brings in proofs tending to shew that there lay no obligation to confess them to Men nor to submit them to the Ministery of the Church Keys and that inward Repentance was sufficient to obtain the remission of them Lastly He adds some Notes upon his pretended Penitential wherein he shews a great deal of Learning and Reading These are the Contents of the Two Volumes in Quarto Printed at Paris by Dezallier in 1679 under the Title of Theodori Poenitentiale FRUCTUOSUS FRUCTUOSUS the Founder of several Monasteries in Spain translated from the Bishoprick of Dumes to the Arch-Bishoprick of Toledo by the Decree of the 10th Council Fructuosus of that City composed Two Rules the one for the Monastery of Complutum and the other common for all Monasteries which is as a Supplement to the former they are both found one after another in the Second part of the Rules of Benedictus Anianus Printed by Hostenius at Paris 1663. CEOLFRIDE CEOLFRIDE Abbot of * Then Girvium Jarrao in England Beda's Tutor wrote a Letter upon Easter to Naito King of the Picts which his Disciple preserved us He flourished toward the Ceolfride end of the 7th Century and Died in 720. In that Letter he treats of the several sorts of the Clerk's Tonsure and of the Celebration of Easter and confesseth those differences are of small consequence and that they should not trouble the Peace ADELMUS ADELMUS Abbot of Malmesbury in England wrote also a Book concerning Easter against the custom of the Britains and a Book of Virginity in Prose and Verse We Adelmus or Aldhelmus have yet this last Work That in Prose was Printed by Sonnius in 1576 and inserted in the Bibl. Patrum that in Verse was Published by Canisius in 1608. In this Tract he gives an Encomium of many Holy Persons whose Life he describeth This Saint is believed to be he who was Bishop of Sherborn who had made a Book of Problems in Verse in imitation of Symposius of about a Thousand Verses But Sigebert who speaks of these Two Authors in Two different Chapters seems to distinguish them One must not look for Politeness in the Works of this English Man ADAMAN ADAMAN Abbot of Huy wrote a Treatise of the places in the Holy Land taken * From the Mouth of Arculphus as Dr. Cave out of the Memoirs of Arculphus a French Bishop who had Travelled into Palaestine Adaman He wrote also the Life of S. Columbus his Predecessor F. Mabillon hath Published those Two Tracts more intire and correct in Saec. Benedict III. p. 2. APONIUS ALTHOUGH it be not precisely known in what time this Author lived it is probable he lived about the end of this 7th Century He made a Commentary upon the Aponius Song of Songs in which what is said of the Bride and the Bridegroom he applied to Christ and his Church We have Six Books of that Work in the Biblioth Patr. It is pretty well written full of Wit and Learning and one of the best that was made upon that Subject We have an Abridgment of the rest of that Commentary made by a Benedictine Abbot And Angelomus who lived above 700 Years ago copied out several places of it in his Commentary upon the Song of Songs Printed by it self at Friburg 1538. CRESCONIUS CRESCONIUS an African Bishop flourished towards the end of the 7th Century Cresconius He made a Collection of Canons in Two parts The First entituled An Abridgment of the Canon-Law Contains the Titles pointing to the matters together with the Citation of the Canons where they are found The Second contains the Canons themselves set down in their full length in the same order that they are Cited in the Abridgment This is entituled An Harmony of the Canons or A Book of Canons The Abridgment was Published ar Paris in 1588 by M. Pitthaeus from a Manuscript of the Church of Troyes and since that by M. Altasaranus at Poictou in 1630 and by F. Chifflet in 1649. M. Justel and Voellus inserted it also with the whole Harmony in their Bibliotheca Juris Canonici or A Compleat Body of the Canon-Law JOANNES MONACHUS NO Authors did ever carry the Virgin Mary's Praises farther than the Greeks of these latter Joannes Monachus Ages We have already spoken of Eight Sermons of George Pisides upon that Subject Here is a Monk who is probably of the same time not at all inferior to him in the Declamation which he made upon the Birth of the Mother of God He mingles with the Virgin 's Commendations some Speeches which he applies sometimes to S. Anne sometimes to the Virgin He brings in the Patriarchs the Prophets and the Righteous Yea and Adam himself acts his part there If any Body liketh those kind of Discourses he may consult the Originals for we are not willing to make Extracts of them Allatius thinks this John was Arch-Bishop of Bulgaria It is not known when he lived DEMETRIUS CIZICENUS WE have under this
that expulsion Wilfrid enjoyed that Arch-bishoprick peaceably during King Oswi's Reign but he was turned out of it in the beginning of Egfrid's Reign towards the year 670. being deposed by Theodorus himself He presently withdrew into Friesland and thence went to Rome He was very well entertain'd by Pope Agatho who restored him to his Dignity in a Council of Bishops and that Sentence was confirm'd by the Popes Benedict and Sergius Being fortified with this Authority he came back again into England where he met with bad Entertainment and was imprisoned by the order of Queen Ermenburge Egfrid's Wife Being got out he went to preach the Gospel to the South-Saxons and baptized as it s believed Edelwach or Ethelwolfe their King Theodorus seeing That he had suffered himself to be surprized by S. Wilfrid's Enemies reconciled himself with him and prevailed with King Alfrid to consent to his re-establishment he return'd to York in 686. but five years after he was expelled again for refusing to receive some Constitutions made by Theodorus Arch-bishop of Canterbury He returned to his Bishoprick of Lichfield which he found vacant Some years after he was invited by Brithwald Arch-bishop of Canterbury to be present at a Synod within two Leagues of Rippon in hope of an agreement They urged him to withdraw into his Abby of Rippon and to quit his Bishoprick He did not only refuse to do it but he had recourse to the Holy See Therefore he went to Rome again and purged himself before Pope John in a Synod in the presence of the Deputies of both Parties and was declared innocent With this sentence he returned into England but Alfrid would not permit it to be executed Sexulfus who succeeded him continued in the same resolution but being turn'd out two Months after and Ofred having succeeded him Brithwald Arch-bishop of Canterbury went into Northumberland and there held a Synod in 705. near the River Nid at which the King also and the Officers and the great ones of the Country were present They read the Pope's Letters and after some difficulties raised by the Bishops of the Country they were reconciled and that long Contest was thus happily ended Wilfrid yielded up his Episcopal See of York to John of Beverly and he was restored to the possession of the Church of Haguestad and of the Abby of Rippon He died in 709.

Letter of the sixth Book dated November the 25th 1079. By the Sixteenth Letter of the seventh Book dated March the 26th 1080. he orders Hubert Bishop of Terrouane whom Hugh of Dia had cited twice before him to justify himself before that Legat. Hugh of Dia as a Recompence of the good Services he had done to the Holy See was translated from the Bishoprick of Dia to the Arch-bishoprick of Lions in the Year 1083. and became so powerful that after the Death of Gregory VII he was one of those who pretended to the Popedom and upon that Subject had contests with Victor III. who had been preferr'd before him That Pope excommunicated him However in the Popedom of Urban II. Hugh was re-taken again into Favour and continued to exercise his Legation in France as we shall shew in its proper place He dy'd in the Year 1106. in October at Susa in his Journey to the Council which Pope Paschal II. held about the end of that year at Guastilla in the Dukedom of Mantua There are a great many other Affairs relating to France Normandy Flanders England and Bretagne which Hugh and his Collegues took Cognizance of and pass'd Sentence upon either Definitively after it had been referr'd to them by the Pope or else Provisionally for any to have liberty of appealing to the Holy See We shall have opportunity of speaking more largely of these things hereafter Gregory VII to add the more Strength to his Authority thought it expedient to make choice of one of the most eminent Sees of France on which he might confer the perpetual Vicarship or Primacy of the Holy See The Vicarship of the Popes in France by virtue Vicars of the Popes in France of which those to whom it was granted pretended to a Jurisdiction above Metropolitans and the Quality of Primates had till then pass'd from Church to Church according as they had been more or less favour'd by the Holy See The Church of Arles is the first on whom this Privilege was conferr'd by Pope Zozimus in consideration of the Merits of Patroclus who was Arch-bishop of that place Pope Symmachus confirm'd this Privilege in favour of Cesareus Arch-bishop of Arles as to that part of Gaul which was then under the Dominion of the Goths But at the same time he made S. Remy Archbishop of Rheims his Vicar in the Kingdom under Clovis However afterward the Vicarship of the Arch-bishop of Arles spread it self in the Kingdom under Childebert and even through all France by the favour of the Popes Vigilius Pelagius I. Gregory the Great and John VIII But Adrian I. restor'd this Honour to the Arch-bishop of Rheims and the Popes Benedict III. and Nicholas I. confirm'd it Pope Sergius granted it to the Bishop of Metz in consideration of the Person of Dreux the Emperor's Uncle But the Bishops of France would not acknowledge him and we do not find that his Successors have pretended thereto Ansegisus Arch-bishop of Sens obtain'd the same Privilege from John VIII and his Successors retain'd the Quality of Primats of Gaul and Germany tho' the Bishops of France would not acknowledge it in the Council of Pontyon and ever since it has been disputed with them At last Gregory VII made choice of the Church of Lions as the Church of most note The erecting the Primacy of Lions by Gregory VII to Honour with this Quality and granted it the Primacy over four Provinces of France namely of Lions Roan Tours and Sens by the Four and thirtieth Letter of the sixth Book directed to Gebwin Arch-bishop of Lions and by the Five and thirtieth Letter of the same Book directed to the Arch-bishops of Roan Tours and Sens which are both dated April the 20th in the Year 1079. To establish this he supposes that the distinction of Diocesses Provinces Primacies and Metropolitanships was made by the Apostles themselves or by the Holy Apostolick See and that the Dignity of Primate had been granted by his Predecessors to the Arch-bishop of Lions However it would be a hard matter to prove this out of any Authentick Record Besides the Arch-bishops of Sens and Roan would not acknowledge the Arch-bishop of Lions for Primate Which oblig'd Urban II. in the Council held at Clermont in the Year 1095. to suspend Richerus Arch-bishop of Sens from the use of the Pall to enjoyn his Suffragans not to obey him and to threaten the Arch-bishop of Roan with the same Punishment if he did not within three Months acknowledge the Primacy of the Arch-bishop of Lions The Rights or Privileges annex'd to the Pope's Vicars or Primates in France have been The Rights or Privileges of the Primates of France of a greater or less extent according to the difference of the Times Pope Zozimus granted three Things to the Arch-bishop of Arles viz. 1. That all the Bishops who were minded to come to Rome shall be oblig'd to take along with them recommendatory Letters from the Arch-bishop of Arles 2. That the Ordinations in the Provinces of Vienna and Narbonne shall be his Peculiars 3. That he shall have the same Jurisdiction over the Churches which he has had over them for a long time tho' they be not in his Territory Of these three Privileges the two last belong to the Arch-bishop of Arles as Metropolitan and the first was granted him as Vicar of the Pope Simmachus besides these granted him a Power of calling Councils of the Bishops of France and Spain Vigilius added thereto the Honour of wearing the Pall but he desires that if he should meet with any difficult Point which could not be determin'd by the Councils he should make his Report thereof to the Holy See Pelagius granted him in general a Power of Acting in France with respect to every thing which concern'd the Administration of Ecclesiastical Affairs Lastly Pope Gregory took notice in particular wherein this Power consisted which is 1. To cause all the Canons to be Religiously observ'd and to maintain the Faith 2. To call a Synod when 't is necessary 3. To make his Report to the Holy See of the Controversies of Faith and of the most momentary and difficult Causes The Privilege granted by the Popes to the Arch-bishops of Rheims consists chiefly in being immediately subject to no other than the Holy See and in having the Right of Ordination and Inspection in the whole compass of his Vicarship The Bishop of Metz had a Commission to call general Councils to receive the Judgments pass'd in the Provincial Synods to hear upon the first instance the Causes of Appealing to the Holy See to inform himself of the Lives of the Abbots and Bishops and to provide for the necessities of the Church The Privileges granted to the Arch-bishop of Sens are to call Councils and to examine into all the Ecclesiastical Affairs of France and Germany to receive and publish the Decrees of the Holy See and to make his Report to it of all the Affairs of Moment and
Barbarity and Corruption of Manners till at last the Death of Edward the Confessor who left no Issue compleated the ruin of the Kingdom Affairs being in this posture William Duke of Normandy passing over the Sea subdu'd it in the Year 1066. having kill'd Harold in Battel who had taken possession of the Throne after the decease of King Edward and caus'd new Laws as well Ecclesiastical as Civil to be establish'd throughout his Dominions He prohibited his Subjects to acknowledge any Pope without his leave and to receive any Bulls from Rome till they were shewn to him Neither would he suffer the Arch-bishop of Canterbury tho' styl'd Primate of all England to make any Constitutions in his Councils which were not conformable to his Inclination and that were not before concerted with him Lastly he forbid that any of his Barons Lords Ministers of State or Officers should be excommunicated without his Order In the fifth Year of his Reign Lanfranc Abbot of St. Stephen at Caen was ordain'd Arch-bishop of Canterbury and went a little while after to Lanfranc Arch-bishop of Canterbury Rome with Thomas Arch-bishop of York and Remigius Bishop of Lincoln to obtain the Pall of Pope Alexander II. who receiv'd them with particular marks of his Esteem and Friend-ship The next Day Lanfranc accus'd both these Bishops who accompany'd him upon account of their illegitimate Ordination by reason that one was the Son of a Priest and the other had given a certain Sum of Money to King William for his Bishoprick The effect of this Accusation was that the two Prelats resign'd their Pastoral Staves and Rings into the Hands of the Pope who gave these Ornaments back again to them upon Lanfranc's request This Arch-bishop upon his return from Rome with the Pall took much pains in re-establshing the Churches of England and maintain'd their Rights and Revenues against the Secular Powers with so great efficacy that neither King William I. nor his Son William II. thought fit to make any attempt upon them as long as he liv'd but after his Death the latter caus'd all the Ecclesiastical Revenues belonging to his Dominions to be register'd and having computed what was requisite for the maintenance of the Monks re-united the rest to the Demeans of the Crown letting them out to Farm every Year to those who offer'd most but in order to get an absolute Power over the Churches when the Bishops dy'd he left their Sees vacant and enjoy'd their Revenues That of Canterbury was vacant above five Years till King William falling dangerously Sick sent for the Abbot Anselm and invested him with that Arch-bishop against his Will This Saint was the Son of Gondulphus and Ermemberga and was born at Aosta on the Alps A. D. 1033. After having compleated his Studies and having travell'd for some time in St. Anselm Arch-bishop of Canterbury Burgundy and France he embrac'd the Monastick Life at the Age of 27 Years in the Abbey of Bec and put himself under the Tuition of Lanfranc Prior of that Monastery when the latter was made Abbot of St. Stephen at Caen about three Years after he was substituted in his room and in like manner succeeded Herluin Abbot of Bec who died in 1078. St. Anselm took some Journeys into England whilst he had the Government of that Abbey by which means having given special Proofs of his extraordinary Abilities in this Kingdom he was chosen Arch-bishop of Canterbury March 6. A. D. 1093. and was consecrated on the fourth Day of December following Then he went to salute the King and offer'd him the Sum of Five hundred Pounds towards carrying on the War which that Prince undertook against his Brother Richard to recover the Dukedom of Normandy The King at first seem'd to be well satisfy'd with this Present but some of his Courtiers insisted that it was not sufficient and that if his Majesty would signify his dissatisfaction never so little to the Arch-bishop as much more might be got from him Therefore the King sent him word That he was unwilling to receive the Money which was proffered by him as being too small a Sum The Arch-bishop after having entreated him to accept of it refus'd to give any more and withdrew from the Court. However some time after he went to meet the King at Hastings just before his departure for Normandy and deliver'd his mind freely to him concerning the Reformation of the Churches of England and the necessity of calling a Council for that purpose The King was not well pleas'd with what he said and made another demand of Money but the Arch-bishop refusing even to disburse what he had proffer'd at first incurr'd his high displeasure and was oblig'd to retire with Precipitation Upon the return of this Prince he begg'd leave to go to Rome to receive the Pall from the Hands of Pope Urban II. but the King denying his Request told him that 't was not customary in his Kingdom to acknowledge any other Person as Pope than him whom he and his Prelates should think fit to approve and having afterwards held an Assembly of Bishops and Lords for that purpose it was declar'd therein that Urban II. should not be acknowledged Whereupon St. Anselm having undertaken to vindicate that Pope all the Prelates except the Bishop of Rochester resolv'd as well as the King no longer to own him as Primate or Arch-bishop He preferr'd a Petition that he might have leave to depart out of England but it was rejected nevertheless a delay was propos'd till Whitsontide which being accepted of by him he was left at liberty to return to Canterbury yet he was no sooner arriv'd there but his most faithful Friends and Servants were made Prisoners or Banished In the mean while the King sent two Clergy-men to Rome to endeavour to bring over Pope Urban to his Party and to make himself Master of the Pall The Pope sent back the Bishop of Albano with the two Clerks who manag'd the business so well that he perswaded the King to cause Urban to be own'd nevertheless this Legate could not be induc'd to consent to the deposing of Anselm At last the King perceiving himself not to be able to accomplish his design either to cause him to be depos'd or to oblige him to do what he requir'd was reconcil'd with him by giving him the Pall which Urban's Legate had brought for his use St. Anselm liv'd in quiet for some time whilst the King pass over into Normandy which Dutchy was resign'd to him by his Brother Richard but at his return a resolution was taken to exact a great Sum of Mony of the Arch-bishop who to avoid the Storm sued for a permission to go to Rome but not being able to obtain it notwithstanding his reiterated sollicitations at three several times he departed without leave and embark'd at Dover from whence he pass'd into France and afterwards taking a Journey to Italy went directly to Rome in the Year 1098. where he was joyfully entertain'd

These are the Principles and Maxims which St. Bernard establishes in this Treatise which agree St. Bernard's Letter to Hugh of St. Victor with the Doctrine of St. Austin concerning the Nature of Free-Will and the necessity and efficacy of Grace without which Man could not perform any thing towards his Salvation The Tenth Treatise of St. Bernard is a Letter address'd to Hugh of St. Victor against some Opinions which an Anonymous Author had laid down which were 1. That the Baptism of Jesus Christ had been obligatory ever since our Saviour had said to Nicodemus Whoever is not born anew by Water and the Holy Spirit shall never enter into the Kingdom of Heaven 2. That no Body can be sav'd without actually receiving the Sacrament of Baptism or Martyrdom in its stead 3. That the Patriarchs of the Old Testament had as clear a knowledge of the Incarnation of the Christians 4. That there is no such thing as a Sin of Ignorance 5. That St. Bernard was mistaken in that passage of his Homilies where he says that even the Angels were not acquainted with God's Design touching the Incarnation As to the first he says that it would be a hard case that what Jesus Christ spoke in particular should be taken for a general Precept to oblige all Mankind He is of Opinion that Original Sin was remitted to the Jews by Circumcision during the time of the antient Law and to the faithful amongst the Gentiles either by their own Faith or by that of their Parents and that the Obligation of being Baptiz'd under penalty of Damnation did not commence till after the Promulgation of the Gospel As to the second he is of Opinion that the Adult may be sav'd without actually receiving Baptism if so be they cannot be Baptized although they desire it because that actual Baptism is here supply'd by Faith and Vows This he proves from divers passages out of St. Ambrose and St. Austin who says he are two Authorities which I cannot possibly dissent from but with whom I am always resolved to be either in the right or the wrong He adds that what supplies Baptism in case of Martyrdom is not the Pain but the Faith of him that suffers In relation to Infants who can have no Faith he owns that they cannot be saved without Baptism although they might be sav'd by the Faith of others when they actually receive it As to the third he says that if the faithful of the Old Law had as clear a knowledge of our Mysteries as we our selves God would have been either too liberal to them or too reserv'd towards us That the Gospel would not have been then above the Law that St. Paul would have been in the wrong to boast that he and the other Apostles received the first Fruits of the Spirit of God that this would be to do a considerable Injury to St. John Baptist. And lastly that the Prophets have not been all equally enlightned with our Mysteries and that even among Christians some have more knowledge in those matters than others As to the fourth he affirms that there are Sins of Ignorance and that the Author of this Proposition ought to agree with him since he has before maintain'd that the Precept of Baptism given to Nicodemus in private obliged those who could have no knowledge of it that it was moreover evident by the Holy Scriptures that there are Sins of Ignorance for thâ—… the Prophet David expresly prays to God not to lay his Sins of Ignorance to his Charge also Moses speaks of Sins committed through Ignorance and St. Paul is said to have persecuted the Church without knowing what the Church was and our Saviour Christ beg'd of his Father to forgive them that Crucify'd him in that they were ignorant of the Sin they committed As to the fifth he explains what he had said concerning the Angels knowing nothing of the mystery of the Incarnation before Gabriel came to acquaint the Virgin of the Circumstances of time and place of the Incarnation the manner thereof and the Person chosen to be the Mother of God We will forbear speaking of the Treatise against the Errors of Abaelard till we come to the History of that Author so that there remains no more of the Treatises of St. Bernard in this second Tome than The Life of St. Malachy c. the Life of St. Malachy and the Tract concerning Singing neither of which require any Observation The third Tome contains St. Bernard's Sermons throughout the whole Year upon the several Feasts and other matters of Moment These are his other Works being writ with as elborate as Spirit St. Bernard's Sermons and abounding with lively and solid Thoughts very proper to move the Heart He preach'd most of them to his Monks whom most commonly he exhorted publickly every day Father Mabillon shews in his Preface that although there might have been several Converts among these Monks who did not understand Latin yet for the most part these Sermons were delivered in that Language as their style sufficiently demonstrates He owns also that St. Bernard might sometimes have preach'd in the Vulgar Tongue for the benefit of those that did not understand Latin The last Tome of the first Volume of St. Bernard's Works contains his Sermons upon the Canticles amounting to the number of 86 and being upon the two first Chapters and the first Verse of the third Chapter they comprehend an infinite number of both Moral and Spiritual Thoughts which he draws out of the words of the Text either by explaining the Text after a mystical manner or giving it an allegorical Sence or adapting it to other Subjects It is a wonderful thing to consider how ready he is at this manner of writing and how he could be capable of composing so vast a Work of such different matters upon two such short Chapters as those of the Canticles The second Volume of Works that go under St. Bernard's Name is divided into two Tomes The first contains a Continuation of the Commentary on the Canticles This belongs to Gilbert of Hoiland Gilbert Abbot of Hoiland a little Island between England and Scotland where there was a Monastery of Monks and Nuns whereof he was Abbot depending on the Bishop of Lincoln He was of the Order of Cisteaux and dy'd in the Year 1172 in a Monastery of the Diocess of Troyes in Champagne This Continuation is of the same Nature with the Work of St. Bernard and is divided into forty eight Sermons all which do not go beyond the 10th Verse of the 5th Chapter This is follow'd by seven other Ascetical Treatises and four Letters by the same Author This Tome contains several other Tracts attributed to St. Bernard although it is certain he was not the Author of them The first is a Letter or a Book address'd to the Fryars of Mont-dicu which is a Charter-House in William Abbot of St. Thierry the Diocess of Rheims near Mouzon This Book
it to sick Persons in the absence of Men They believe that this Consolation remits Sins even mortal ones and that without it 't is impossible to be Saved Lastly they maintain that those who have actually committed a mortal Sin are uncapable of adrainistring it effectually Afterwards Ermergard proves against them that 't is lawful to eat Flesh and to take an Oath and establishes the Doctrines of the Resurrection of the Dead the Invocation of Saints and Prayers for deceased Persons These three Authors scarce make use of any other Proofs but Passages of the Holy Scripture to confute the Errors they oppose and to establish the Truths they maintain nay they produce a great number of them amongst which there are some which do not clearly prove what they assert CHAP. XII Of the Ecclesiastical Authors of less note who flourish'd in the Western Countries in the Twelfth Century AFTER having treated in the preceding Chapter of the most noted Ecclesiastical Writers whose Works are more numerous or more considerable we shall now give some account in this of a great number of others less known who have composd divers small Tracts reserving the particular enumeration of the Historians and Greek Authors for the following Chapters ANSELM Dean of the Church of Laon flourish'd in the beginning of the Century and Anselm Dean of Laon. made publick Divinity-Lectures at Chalons in which he gave Explications of the Holy Scripture He is also supposed to be in part the Author of the Ordinary Gloss. Some attribute to him the Commentaries on the Book of Canticles on St. Matthew's Gospel on St. Paul's Epistles and on the Revelation of St. John which were printed under the Name of St. Anselm Arch-bishop of Canterbury but they really belong to Hervaeus a Monk of Bourg near Dol whose Name they bear in the Manuscripts GISLEBERT or GILBERT sirnam'd CRISPIN St. Anselm's Pupil after having follow'd Gislebert or Gilbert Crispin Abbot of Westminster his Study in the Abbey of Bec took a Journey to Rome and upon his return had a Conference with a certain Jew of Mentz Afterwards he was made Abbot of Westminster A. D. 1106. He wrote a Relation of that Conference and dedicated it to St. Anselm amongst whose Works it is inserted in the last Edition by Father Gerberon Dr. Cave assures us That there are still extant in the Libraries of England divers Manuscript Homilies written by Gilbert Crispin on the Book of Canticles and several Discourses on St. Jerom's Prefaces to the Bible with a particular Treatise against the Sins of Thought Word and Deed. The Relation of the Conference made by this Author is different from that which is annexed to St. Augustin's Works under the Title of The Contest between the Synagogue and the Church and is much more accurate He died A. D. 1114. as some Writers averr or according to others in 1115. PETRUS ALPHONSUS a Spanish Jew who formerly bore the name of Moses was Petrus Alphonsus a Spanish Jew converted converted A. D. 1106. was baptiz'd at Huesca and had Alphonsus King of Portugal for his God-father He compos'd a Treatise by way of Dialogue between a Jew and a Christian concerning the Truth of the Christian Religion divided into Twelve Chapters in the first of which he shews That the Jews explain the Writings of the Prophets too carnally and that they mistake their meaning In the second he makes it appear that the Cause of the Captivity of the Jews is the putting of the Messiah to death that it was foretold by the Prophets and that it will not cease till the end of the World In the third he confutes the Opinion of the Jews who believe that their dead shall be raised again one day to dwell on the Earth and that they shall multiply therein In the fourth he proves that the Jews do no longer observe the principal Articles of the Law of Moses and that what they do observe is not acceptable to God In the fifth Chapter which is written against the Mahometan Superstitions he shews that Mahomet was a false Prophet who wrought no Miracles and was destitute of Learning Religion and Probity In the sixth he proves the Doctrine of the Trinity by Passages of the old Testament In the seventh he demonstrates by the Writings of the Prophets That the Messiah was to be born of a Virgin and conceiv'd by the Operation of the Holy Ghost In the eighth That the Word of God was made Man and that CHRIST is God and Man In the ninth That JESUS CHRIST came at the time foretold by the Prophets and that the Prophecies concerning the Messiah are accomplish'd in him In the Tenth That he died voluntarily to redeem Mankind according to the prediction of the Prophets In the eleventh That he arose again from the dead and ascended into Heaven And in the twelfth That the Law of the Christians is not contrary to that of the Jews This Treatise is one of the best that we have of that kind and the Author handles these Matters very methodically with a great deal of clearness and solidity of Argument THIBAUD or THEOBALD Clerk of the Church of Etampes and afterwards Professor Theobald Clerk of the Church of Etampes of Divinity in the Schools of Caen and Oxford flourish'd in the beginning of the Century and wrote several Letters which were publish'd by Father Dachery in the Third Tome of his Spicilegium The First is written to the Bishop of Lincoln about certain Persons who were doubtful of the Mercy of God He shews That a Sinner may have recourse to Repentance at all times That he may obtain the Remission of his Sins and that a good Disposition is sufficient for an entire Conversion In the Second directed to Faricius Abbot of Abbington he proves That Children who die without receiving Baptism are damned The Third is a Complimental Letter to Margaret Queen of England The Fourth is a Consolatory Letter to one of his Friends who was unjustly slandered The Last Letter is written against Roscelin in which he shews That the Sons of Priests are uncapable of being admitted into Holy Orders RADULPHUS sirnam'd ARDENS a Native of Poitiers and Chaplain to William III. Radulphus Ardens Duke of Aquitaine flourish'd in the beginning of this Century He compos'd a great number of Sermons on the Sundays and Festivals of the Year printed at Paris A. D. 1568. 1583. at Antwerp in 1576. and at Colen in 1604. ODO Abbot of St. Martin at Tournay was ordain'd Bishop of Cambray A.

St. FRANCIS born in the year 1182 at Assisi Founder of the Order of Minor Friars or St. Francis Minims died in 1226. He not only by his Example taught us Humility Patience Submission and Freedom from the Cares of the World but likewise by his Writings which are the Picture of his Vertues Here 's a Catalogue of those that were published under the name of this Saint by Father de la Haye and printed at Paris in 1641 with the Works of St. Antony of Padua Sixteen Letters Advice to those of his Order containing twenty seven Chapters An Exhortation to Humility Obedience and Patience A Treatise of the Virtues of the Virgin and of every Soul A little Piece of true and perfect Joy An Explanation of the Lord's Prayer The Praise of the Lord God Most High eleven Prayers His Will Two Orders for his Religious A Rule for the Monastrys The Statute of the third Order Twenty eight Conferences The Office of the Passion Three Songs upon the Love of God of Apothegms of familiar Discourses of Parables and Examples of Benedictions of Oracles and common Sentences There are likewise seven Sermons giving the Reasons for the establishing of this Order of Minor Brothers and a little Treatise of the ten Perfections of a true Religious and of a real Christian. St. ANTONY Sirnamed of Padua because he died in 1231 in that City was born at St. Antony Lisbon in Portugal After having professed Divinity at Thoulouse Bologn and Padua he became St. Francis's Disciple and entred into his Order He applied himself particularly to preaching and was in his Time accounted a very neat Preacher tho his Sermons seem to us now very plain and empty They have been printed at Paris in 1521 at Venice in 1575 and since at Paris again in 1641 by the care of Father de la Hay who has also presented us with a mystical Exposition of this Author upon the Holy Scriptures and five Books of moral Concordances upon the Bible And lastly Father Pagi has added a Supplement of some Sermons upon the Saints and other matters which he got printed at Avignon in 1684. RICERUS an Italian of the Marquisate of Ancona one of the Companions of St. Frances Ricerus of Assisi has
into four parts which are four quite distinct Works The Doctrinal which comprehends the Principles of all Sciences beginning at Grammar and ending at Divinity The Historical containing a Universal History from the beginning of the World to the year 1244 The Natural which treats of natural things as of Plants Birds c. and The Moral which treats of the Passions of Law and Grace of the Virtues and of the Vices These Works are nothing but a Collection out of divers Authors as he acknowledges in his Preface The last of them is almost word for word the same with the second Second of Thomas Aquinas's Sum which is very hard to be reconciled with the Chronology of these two Authors for St. Thomas not dying before 1274 and his Sum being one of his last Pieces it is not easy to imagine how Vincent of Beauvais who is supposed to have died in 1256 should have copyed from it The Criticks divide upon the Resolution of this Difficulty some say that perhaps Vincent did not die till 1264 and St. Thomas might before that have composed his second Second which might have been communicated to Vincent others say that this Book of Morals is not the Work of Vincent but that this Author not having meddled with them or what he wrote therein being lost some body put in these Extracts of St. Thomas to make Vincent's Works compleat These Opinions are not very probable for first almost all Authors that have spoken of Vincent of Beauvais make him die in 1256 and if one should suppose that he lived till 1264 it is pretty hard to imagine how he should copy a Work which was then neither published nor finished Besides it cannot be thought that Vincent of Beauvais did not compose a Moral Treatise because he in his Preface tells us that this is one of the parts of his Work and because the old Authors such as Henry of Gand and Trithemius make mention of this very one which begins with the very words that are related by Trithemius for the beginning of Vincent of Beauvais's Work of Morality But then on the other side it appears that the Sum of St. Thomas is all in the same Stile and he quotes the second Second in his other Works whereas the Work of Vincent of Beauvais is a Rhapsody taken from different Authors and it is likewise said that he quotes the Sum of St. Thomas in his Natural Treatise These are the Difficulties that occur and the Conjectures that are brought on each side upon which I shall leave the Reader to make what Reflections he shall think fit not seeing any thing sufficient to determine me on one side or other The entire Work of Vincent of Beauvais is a vast Collection that showeth the laborious diligence of the Author more than his Judgment and Palate His Historical Mirror was printed separately at Nuremberg in 1473 and at Mentz in 1474. The Moral Part at Nuremberg in 1485 and at Venice in 1493. The Doctrinal at Nuremberg in 1486 and all the four Parts at Basil in 1481 at Venice in 1484 and in 1591 and at Douay in 1524 with the Title of The Library of the World Trithemius mentions some other Works of Vincent of Beauvais namely a Treatise of Grace or of the Redemption of Jesus Christ A Discourse in praise of the Virgin and another in praise of St. John the Evangelist A Treatise about the Instruction of Kings Sons and a Consolatory Letter to St. Louis upon the Death of one of his Friends and some other Letters These two last pieces were printed at Basil in 1481.

This Work is Dedicated to Martin V. and approv'd by this Pope In it the Author proposes to himself to relate the Doctrin of Jesus Christ of the Apostles and the Fathers against the Errors of the Wiclefites and joyns Tradition and the Testimony of the Universal Church and of the Councils with the Holy Scripture which are the Principles he lays down for his Foundation in refuting the false Maxims of Wiclef who following the foot-steps of the Ancient Hereticks rejected the Tradition and Authority of the Church pretending that we ought to found our Doctrins upon the Scripture only The First Tome of this Work contains Four Books against the Errors of Wicklef In the 1st he Refutes the Errors of Wicklif concerning the Divinity the Human Nature and the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. In the 2d he Treats of the Preheminence of St. Peter among the Apostles of the Church of the Primacy and Privileges of the Pope and of the Roman Church of the Authority Rights and Prerogatives of Bishops and other Pastors as well in Matters of Faith as for the Government of the Church In the 3d. he defends the profession of the Regulars and in the last he justifies particularly the Orders of the Regulars Mendicants of those who live by the Labour of their Hands and of those who have Revenues and shews against Wicklef that the Ecclesiasticks may possess Temporal Revenues In the Second Tome he lays down the Doctrin of the Church about the Sacraments and shows against Wicklef 1st that the Consecration and Administration of the Sacraments by Ministers is valid tho' they be Sinners After this he Treats of the Eucharist and having prov'd the Real Presence and Transubâ—tantiation he shews that the Communion under both kinds is not necessary As to Baptism he establishes the absolute necessity of it to Salvation and proves that Infants who die without Baptism are Damn'd and that this Sacrament imprints a Character As to Confirmation he insists chiefly upon discovering the effects of it and shews that the Bishops only can Administer it As to the Sacrament of Orders he makes it evident that the Distinction between Bishops and Priests was Establish'd from the beginning of the Church that the Priests ought to be Ordain'd by the imposition of the hands of the Bishops that the Reprobate may Consecrate as well as others and that the Celibacy of Priests is according to the Spirit and Genius of Holy Scripture and agreeable to the practice of the Ancient Church As to Marriage he shews That this Sacrament may subsist between Persons who preserve Continence That it Thomas Waldensis or of Walden a Carmelite ought to be contracted according to the Forms prescrib'd by the Church and with the Benediction of the Priest and distinguishes between Marriages which are Lawful and which Unlawful In the Treatise of Penance he defends the necessity of Confession the Vertue of Absolution and the Practices of the Church against the Accusations and Errors of Wicklef There he Establishes the difference between Sins Mortal and Venial against Wicklef who made no distinction between them but with respect to the predestination of God and who admitted no other Mortal Sin but final Impenitence He shews also that the Predestinate may lose Charity against the Opinion of the same Heretick Lastly he shews that the Sacrament of Extream Unction was Founded by Jesus Christ and his Apostles and that the Sacrament produces its effect by its own Vertue and not only by the Merits of the Prayers of those who Administer or Receive it In the Third Tome he Treats of those things which are call'd Sacramentals and first of the Effects and the Necessity of Prayer in general 2. Of Singing Prayers in the Church 3. Of the Service of the Church 4. Of the Mass and its parts 5. Of the Ceremonies of the Sacraments of Baptism

Chancellor of England A. D. 1158. and obtain'd the Administration of the publick Affairs of the whole Kingdom At last he was nominated by the King to the Arch-bishoprick of Canterbury in 1161. after the Death of Theobald and was ordain'd on Whit-sunday in the same Year This Prelate was no Election of Thomas Arch-bishop of Canterbury sooner advanc'd to that high Station but he vigorously apply'd himself to the maintaining of the Interests and Liberties of the Church In the beginning of his Government he found means to wrest the Ecclesiastical Revenues out of the Hands of the Noble-men who had usurp'd them and persuaded the King to fill up the Episcopal Sees of Hereford and Worcester which had been vacant for a long time But it was difficult for him who had undertaken stifly to maintain the Rights of the Church to avoid falling out with his Prince about particular Interests upon which account he was oblig'd to resign the Office of Chancellor After that step he made a demand again with much resolution of the Revenues and Rights which he pretended to belong to the Church of Canterbury and which were in the possession of the King and of the Nobility He vehemently oppos'd the Outrages and Exactions with which the great Lords were wont to oppress the People and the Clergy He endeavour'd to abolish the Custom that was introduc'd in England of adjudging to Princes the Revenues of vacant Churches and of deferring to supply those Churches with Ministers in order to enjoy them longer and he asserted That Clergy-men guilty of Misdemeanours were not under the Jurisdiction of Civil Magistrates but that they ought to be brought before the Bishop to be degraded and condemned to Ecclesiastical Penalties without delivering them up to the Secular Power nevertheless if in process of time they committed new Crimes the Temporal Justice might then apprehend them because they were no longer to be look'd upon as Clergy-men The obstinate defence of the last Article chiefly caus'd Thomas to incur the King's displeasure The original of the Contests between the King of England and Thomas Becket and gave occasion to the Quarrel For a Canon of Bedford nam'd Philip Brock having abus'd one of the King's Officers before whom he was summon'd that Prince determin'd to bring him to condign Punishment The Arch-bishop suspended the Canon from his Ecclesiastical Functions and Benefice for several Years but the King not being satisfied with those proceedings requir'd that he might be put into the Hands of the Secular Justice Upon the Arch-bishop's refusal to do it the King held an Assembly of the Bishops of his Kingdom in the Abbey of Westminster where he made a Remonstrance that it was expedient for the publick Benefit that Clergy-men should be tryed by the Civil Magistrates and condemned to afflictive Punishments by reason that the scandal of Degradation did not at all move those whom the Sanctity of their Function could not restrain from the committing of Crimes Thomas who was at the Head of that Assembly after having debated with the other Bishops reply'd to the King That the Bishops could not relinquish a Right which was granted to them by Henry I. his Grand-Father and confirm d by the solemn promise of King Stephen and that they entreated his Majesty to call to Mind the Oath that he took on the Day of his Coronation to maintain the Church in its Liberty and Rights Whereupon the King demanded whether they were disposed to observe the Customs and Constitutions of his Kingdom 〈◊〉 Thomas reply'd that they were ready to do it provided their Rights were secur'd Salvo Ordine Suo and all the Prelates made the same Answer except the Bishop of Chichester nam'd Henry who chang'd the last Words and said that he would punctually observe those Customs King Henry was extremely incens'd at the restriction they put on their Promise after he had so often press'd them to no purpose to engage absolutely to observe the Customs of the Kingdom without any limitation and left the Assembly quite transported with Anger The next Day he sent to demand of the Arch-bishop of Canterbury the Grants for all the Governments that were conferr'd on him whilst he was Chancellor of England and speedily departed from London shewing evident marks of his high displeasure against the Bishops Insomuch that their dread of his Anger and of the ill effects that it might produce and the sollicitations which that Prince caus'd to be made induc'd many of them to yield to give satisfaction to his Majesty and these us'd their utmost endeavours to bring the others to the same Temper Thomas stood to his Resolution for a long time but being at last overcome by the frequent and pressing entreaties of the Prelates and of his best Friends he suffer'd himself to be prevail'd upon went to meet the King at Oxford and promis'd to observe the Customs of the Kingdom for the future without any manner of Restriction The King to render this Declaration more Authentick call'd an Assembly of the Bishops An Assembly at Clarendon and Noble-men of the Kingdom at Clarenden A. D. 1164. in which he oblig'd the Arch-bishop of Canterbury and the other Prelates to take an Oath that they would carefully observe the Customs of the Kingdom and at the same time caus'd a verbal Process to be drawn up containing the Articles of those Customs that were to be acknowledg'd by the Bishops and which were sixteen in Number The First imports That when any Contests arise between the Laity and Clergy about the presentation to Benefices they ought to be regulated in the King's Court The Second That the Revenues of Mannors depending on the King's Demeans cannot be made over to Churches without his Majesty's Concession The Third That the Clergy-men acqused or impeached by the King's Officers shall be oblig'd to repair to his Court to the and that enquiry may be made whether they ought to be tried there or whether they ought to be sent back to the Ecclesiastical Courts of Judicature and that being thus sent back the King 's Chief Justice shall depute a Person to be Witness of the Proceedings of that Court That if the Clergy-man be convicted or confess his Crime the Church cannot have a Right any longer to protect him The fourth Article declares That the Arch-bishops Bishops and the King 's other Subjects cannot depart the Kingdom without his Majesty's leave and in case it be granted they shall give him good assurance that they will not act contrary to his Interest The Fifth That excommunicated Persons shall not be obliged to give security for their continuing in the Country but only to stand to the Judgment of the Church when it shall be thought 〈◊〉 to grant them Absolution The Sixth That no other Informers or Witnesses shall be admitted against Laicks but such as are allow'd by the Laws The Seventh That all those who hold any Lands of the King or are of the number of his Officers cannot
