Royal Appendix MS 78

THEOLOGICAL Fragments in Latin and English, viz.:-

1. Theological propositions 'de cultu dei' (on justification by faith, &c.), divided into eight 'indagines' with four 'consectaria'. In a hand of temp. Hen. VIII. Beg. 'Deus exigit ab homine'. f. 1.

2. 'Off paciens to be had in adversite': corrected draft of a discourse on persecution, beg. 'After that our Lorde hade putt awey all the carffullnes'. Preceded by extracts from the Fathers on the same subject, in Latin, with parallel English translation apparently corrected in the same (16th cent.) hand as the sermon. f. 5. A fragment (ff. 12, 13) of a tract by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, has been removed to its proper place in Cotton App. xxvii.

3. 'Seditious passages out of Mr Parkers booke against his Maiestie, the State, and the setled government of the Church', i. e. from the Scholastical Discourse of the Puritan Robert Parker, printed in 1607. f. 14.

4. Annotations on the Bishops' Book (Institution of a Christian Man, 1537), criticizing certain alterations proposed by the King. Most of these are transcribed in 7 C. XVI, art. 40, which shows that they are the work of Richard Sampson, Bishop of Chichester 1536- 1554. f. 21.

5. 'Extraict d'un liure imp[r]imé en Espagne touchant l'authorité et preseance du roy d'Espagne': chapterheadings in French from the Latin work of Diego Valdes, De dignitate regum regnorumque Hispaniae (Granada, 1602, reprinted Frankfort, 1626), which is described as published 'depuis trois ans'. f. 24.

6. Devout maxims, in Latin, in the hand of Patrick Young, Royal Librarian temp. Jas. I. It is possible that this may be the lost MS. 12 A. XXIV, described in Casley's cat. as 'Axiomata quaedam Christiana'. Beg. 'Fidelis homo electus homo est'. f. 26.

7. Fragment of narrative of the Jesuit John Ogilvie concerning his examination by the Archbishop of Glasgow [John Spottiswoode] and others in 1615. In English, in a hand of the l7th cent.

Imperfect at beginning and end, consisting of two pairs of leaves (four folios) numbered 4 and 5. f. 32.
