subscribed (with their names in full) by Gilbert Burnet, Edward Stillingfleet, and Will. Nailor, a gentleman whom they brought with them to be a witness on their side. [See Burnet's account of this conference, Own Times, vol. i. p. 395. "Sir Philip Terwhit (he says) had married a zealous Protestant, who, suspecting his religion, charged him with it. But he denied it before marriage, and carried it so far that he received the sacrament with her in her own church. After they were married, she found that he had deceived her; and they lived untowardly together. At this time some scruples were put in her head," &c.] Then follows (p. 11) "The relation which N. N. desired might be subjoined to the Relation of the Conference," with the answer. Then (p. 16) "The Letter which we promised, wherein an account is given of the doctrine of the church for the first eight centuries demonstrated to be contrary to Transubstantiation in a letter to Lady T." signed by Stillingfleet and Burnet. Also (p. 29) "A discourse shewing how unreasonable it is to ask for express words of Scripture in proving all articles of faith," by Burnet: and lastly (p. 44) "A discourse to shew that it was not only possible to change the belief of the church concerning the manner of Christ's presence in the sacrament; but that it is very reasonable to conclude both that it might be done, and that it was truly changed."

With respect to the Conference of 1671 (No. 155) it is evidently a report drawn up on the side of the Roman Church. The publisher tells us that " some of the same persons" were engaged in it, as were afterwards in a similar way "engaged" in the conference of 1676. This is sufficiently vague. But it is all the information I possess as to the dramatis personæ of the conference in 1671, the subject of which was schism. The dialogue seems to imply that two doctors on the side of England were engaged against one on the side of Rome: they are designated as Dr. 1, Dr 2, and Cath., and the Protestant doctors are sometimes made to speak together, when their words are given as coming from Drs. There was also a "Company" present who are more than once addressed by "Cath." (p. 10, 16) and who on some occasions took a part in the discussion, where they are called Gentlemen (p. 9), Gentlem. and Gent. (pp. 36, 37, 39), and who always spoke together and on the Popish side. There is also a mysterious personage who made two pretty long speeches, and who is called

Narr. (p. 15) and Nar. (p. 28), both on the Romish side. Or perhaps this does not mean any individual present, but rather a Narrative of something which did not take place at the conference. J. H. T.

C.L. The True Catholic and Apostolic Faith maintained in the Church of England. Being a Reply to several Books published under the names of J. E., N. N., and J. S., &c. By Andrew Sall, D.D. 8vo Oxford 1676 This very interesting volume, written in reply to Nicholas French's "Bleeding Iphigenia,” and his "Dolefull Fall of Andrew Sall," also to the "Unerring Unerrable Church," commences with a Dedication to the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; followed by a Letter from J. Free, the Superior of the Jesuits in Ireland, with Sall's Reply; the Licence granted to Sall, when Rector of the Irish College at Salamanca, to keep and read Prohibited Books, by the Bishop of Valencia in 1652; then a Letter of Nicholas French, Bp. of Ferns, and his Elogium upon Sall. In "The Literary Policy of the Church of Rome exhibited in an account of her Damnatory Catalogues of Indexes, both prohibitory and expurgatory," by the Rev. Joseph Mendham, M.A., Lond. 1830, will be found a Papal revocation of the licence of reading heretical works, on the ground of the apprehended conversion of those who were to confute the heretics. "Ferraris, Prompta Bibl. under Fides, will show with what alarm Rome beheld the discussions of her sons with heretics, and how carefully the Propaganda provided against mischief." Addit. Suppl., p. 16, ibid. With what chains the human intellect has been shackled in Papal countries is evinced by the precautions of revision, correction and expurgation, which have been used in the most orthodox books, as will be seen in the licenses prefixed to

the second and later editions of the Historia Pontifical by Yllescas.
See Southey's Vindicia Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ, p. 392. Concerning this
book, which is the most rare of all Sall's publications, see also No.

"The Bleeding Iphigenia" of Dr. French has long been known as
a book of uncommon rarity, and has been eagerly sought after by
book collectors. Whenever it or the 'Sale and Settlement of Ireland'
have appeared at an auction room, crowds of bidders have attended,
and the contents of this little volume, in the reader's hands, have sold
for no less a sum than £40." Advertisement to the Bleeding Iphi
genia in the "Historical Works of the Right Rev. Nicholas French, C. L.
D.D., Bishop of Ferns, &c. &c. Now for the first time collected."

"As for the Bleeding Iphigenia there came three copies to this
towne, sent by Bp. French. The people are so taken with it as, in
my opinion, if 20,000 volumes of it had come over, they would all
have been bought up." From a letter from a friar in Connaught, in
Dr. O'Connor's Catalogue of MSS. in Stowe Library, vol. i. p. 264. An
account of this author is given in Ware's Irish Writers, by Harris, p.
166 et seq. [The Bleeding Iphigenia is really the suppressed Preface
to the Doleful Fall of Andrew Sall, as appears by comparing the
printer's signatures in the original editions. The Bleeding Iphigenia
was reprinted Dublin 1829, in Fac Simile so far as the lines go and
pages, but not as to type. This edition has a preface signed O. [Rev.
Cæsar Otway] giving an account of the Author, etc. A copy of this
reprint on vellum is in the Library of Trin. Coll. Dublin. We have
also the orig. edit. without a title page.

The person who wrote against Sall under the initials J. S. was
Ignatius Brown (Ware's Writers of Ireland, by Harris, pp. 186-7.)
N. N. was Nicholas French, tit. bishop of Ferns. I do not know
who J. E. was, but his book is in the Library of Trin. Coll. Dublin.

Of the Romanists charge of an Agreement between the church of England and the church of Rome; with the churchmen's replies.

157. An agreement between the Church of England and Church C. L. of Rome, evinced from the concertation of some of her sons with their brethren of the Dissenters. Published with allowpp. 88, and pref. and title pp. 8, 4to Lond. 1687 See Contin. p. 18, where this tract is attributed to the Representer, but it is not mentioned among his works by Dodd. See No. 51 supra. In p. 61 there is a paper, which the preface tells us was drawn up by another hand, entitled, "The Necessity of an Agreement between the Church of England and the Church of Rome, evinced from the nature and constitution of a National Church episcopally established." J. H.T.

“I must observe, by the way, that though the Prefacer does ascribe this learned Piece to another Author, yet he has concealed the true Father: His other Author was a good Roman Catholick, who disputes in good earnest from the Subordination of Pastors in the Church to prove the Supremacy of an Oecumenic or Universal Pastor; but the true Author was an Independent Protestant, from whom this honest Romanist borrows every argument, and almost every word, excepting such little variations as a Papist must of necessity make in an Independent's writing, without ever confessing his Benefactor, or owning from whence he had it. The title of the Book is, The Catholick Hierarchie, or the Divine Right of a Sacred Dominion in Church and Conscience, truly Stated, Asserted, and Pleaded. Printed for Sam. Crouch at the Princes Arms in Pope's Head-Alley in Cornhil, & Tho. Fox at the Angel in Westminster-hall, 1681. In the XIV. Chap. of which Book, p. 76, being a Digression concerning the Subordination of Pastors; whoever has the curiosity may find this entire Treatise of the Necessity of Agreement between the Church of England and the Church of Rome, onely with this difference, that the Independent disputes against the Subordination of Pastors by this very Argument,
