Montfaucon, tom. ii. p. 59]; translated by William Sellyng, Prior of Canterbury, as appears from the following colophon, " Finit Sermo quidam Sancti Chrisostomi quàm pulcerrimus; quem e Greco in Latinum traduxit Reverendus in Christo Pater Willielmus Sellyng, prior ecclesiæ Christi Cantuariensis, sacre pagine professor, Anno Domini, 1488," f. 3;-Speculum Regis Edwardi Tertii, per Symonem Islep, Archiepiscopum Cantuariensem; a sharp remonstrance to the King, directed principally against the extortions committed on the poor, in supplying his household, but which seems, from internal evidence, to have been composed about the year 1337, some years before Islip became Archbishop, [see two other copies in Mss.
