Darknefs, Ignorance and Obfcurity , accompany'd
with Notorious Diforders and Irr^ularities. The Authour
of a Treatile, call'd, The Ferpetnity of the Faith , has undcrca-
kca to Vqidicate it from the(e Cenfures, and to make it appear

isfbundedi^ as he had already demunlbarcd in a Letter written Co Hdfrt, Iwhich is his
firft Treatife. He declaims very ftrongly agaihftdie general firregulwity or sdl the Clergy^
which he dcfa-ibcs with very litcic Caution. Ik- tcllsusthe reafon why he undertook to
difcourfeof the dilbtbution of the Goods of his Churchy was, becaufe the Clerks, who had
recitivedan order from the Emperor to leave off dutnuniKarity which tfaey held with woi*
m-'n, excufed themfclves from fo doing under a pretence of their Poverty. That it was
upon this account he cntred U[xjn this particular, that they might all liave wherewithal to
'
live.
The ylpologetkkTreatife of JR.nbcrin*,not an Apology of his whole Life, but he therein
is '

only gives an account how he had employed a fujuiu of moncy^ which the EnijDeror put
into his hands for the re-buildine the Church of S. Zeno. One of his Enemies, nam'd Aikr-
ctM, found fault with what he did, and would have had him diftributed it amongil the
Poor. Ratheriui mAktsit appear that he ought not to do it. (i.) Becaufe it was dcfigad
for the rebuilding of the Church. (2.) Becaufe there were not very many poor in his Dio-
cefs, and that icveral Derfom contributed tu their fub&ftance • whereas on the contrary,
'
diae were very many Churches demoliihed, or at leaft very mnch on( of repair, for the
rebuilding ot which nothing was bcftowed ; that thereupon he fuppofed he mignt even era-
ploy a part of that Portion of the Church Goods intended for the Poor on fuch a good
wonc He telts us, that his Antagonid had ventur'd to go to JPmw without bis Licence'
and that he had by Bribes procur d Letters from the Pope, which excommunicated him
and the BUhops hisSuccclfors, in cafe they ftiould concern thenifelves with the diftribution
pf the Cliurch Goods. He fays, that it was impolTible but due this Excommunication
would be the caufe of a great deal of trouble for if he ihould (light the Anathtmi of the
:

holy See, he O^tmld give a very bad Precedent ; but on the other hand, if he fhould fubmit
toit^ he (lioulil be no longer a Biniop, (Ince hewhois made a Bilhop, at the fmie time is
made an Overseer ^ not only in fpiritual things, but .dfo in the Temporalities of his Church,
as it is ordain d by a vaft number of Canons. ThisTreatife was compos 'd by Ratherius. .

after his laft re-cftabliftimcnt.

The following was wrote much about the (ame timeTis.a difcourfe dircfted to his
.

Clergy, wherein he upbraids them of their Rebellion. He there tells them that he had
refolv d to excommunicate them, as they had defcrved ; but he had delay'd doing it, ia
hopes they would have reform d of themfelves : That he urryed for a CommilFion from
die Emperor, who ihoiild report to his Imperial Majefty chisllearoiisofbodi fides, upoi^
which the Bmpdcor ihould detename what he pkafid, 9iid he would Qbqr his
Orders.
This Treitife is followed by a Charter, whereby Ratherim inftitutes feveral Clerks into a
Monaftery, in the place of the Abbot and Monks, whom he was oblig'd to turn our, be-
caufe of their Irregularities. He therein appoints that they iliould hng the Officej and
that every one of them Ihould have his fhare of Com, yfVaie, PuUe andMdnejr, without
dividins^ the Lands and Vineyards.
The following Treatii'e is an Injunftion of Ratherlw againft the Marriage of a Clergy-mans
Sonoff^HMM, which was perfortn'd on z. Sunday in Lent. He declares that it is Irregular,
and that no Marriage ought to be celebrated during i^f, nor on Fall-days, nor onJiw- '

dajSy nor on Holydays ; and orders that all thofe who Ihould commit fuch a fault. Ihould
fall for fortv days ; that is to fay, that when others of the faithful eat at nine of the clock,
they fhoula (bar till noon e re they eat : when others fall till noon, they ihould fall till
^1 three a dodt : and whin others faft till three a clock, they Ihall abftain fi-om eatine till
night. He exhorts them likcwifc to be charitable to the poor during this time. He declares
dut he would undergo vthe lame pennance himfelf for being backward in oppoling fuch an
irregularity. He excommunicates fuch Offenders as woMd not fttbmit to this Pennance,
and declares that God would confign them over to erernal Damnation.
After thisTreatife there are five Letters of his writing.- The firft is direfled to AUrti»
Biihop of Ferr4Br4f wherein he acquaints him that his Clergy laid leveral Crimes to bit
charge, panicularly that of ordaining feveral lafiunsformooey. He exhorts him to rqpentf
and to behave himfelf better for the future.
The lecond Letter is writ in the name of all the Clergy of ^ro«4, and direcl.-d to him,
who was then in the Holy Apollolic.il See, to the Senate, and to all the faitiiful of the
Church of Rome- It was compos d by RAtherins fom_^ time after his Re-e(Ubliihment^thic

 To the Reader.
how much the farther Progrefs we make, in the
BYNumber
fevtTal Ages of the Church, fo much the greater
of Conceits appear to our View ; every Age
facceffively affording Variety of Matter, and producing a
new Scene o{ Affairs. Thus for inftance» in the Eleventh
Century* different Opinions arofe concerning the Holy
Sacraments; the Latin and Gr^^4 Churches came to an
open Rupture ; the Popes took upon them to depofe Em*
perors and Kings ; and Scholaflick Divinitv, the Source of
aninfinite Number of Queftions, took then its firft Rile.
The Minds of Mtn being recovered, as it were, from that
Lethargy, wherewith they were ieiz'd in the preceding
Age; they b^an to apply themlelves to Study, in thd
beginning of this: Infbmuch that in a fliort fpace of
time, all Europe was fiU'd with Judicious and Learned
Perfonages, who communicated their Knowledge to others,
either by Publick Ledures or Writings. •

The Cbntfoverfies, that afterwards arofe, were hkewife

. a powerful Motive to excite them to Study ; and gave ,

OccaCon to thofe, who were endow'd with extraordinary

Parts, to exercife their Fens, and" to (hew their Learn- -

ing. Some were very fuccelsful in imitating the An-

cients, both in their Style and manner of Writing ; but
the greateil part of them, dill retained fomewhat of the
Barbarifm and Courlenefs of the former Age, and others
fell into that uncouth and barren Method of handling
Matters, which is more efpecially peculiar to Logicians.
1 he moft notorious Bilorders were r^ukted ; enormous
Crimes were reftrainM ; and the Bilhops took a great deal
pains in reforming Church-DifcipUtie ; which never*-
*
theleis, was notreftor^d to its ancient Perfieftion& Thus
- much may ferve to give a general Idea of the Eleventh
Century, which the LearnedM. DV PiN (according to
his qfual Method) has improved to thebeft Advantage.

Of the Writings of S. Fulberc, Lijhu]^ of Chartres.

WE will begin this Eltventh Century wiii> S. BiftlOp of Ckntres, who

was one of the principal Rcftorcrs of Learning, of the Sciences, and c£ tHbiftf
Divinity.
Fulbest

He came from f{pmexo France, and held hi<; publick I j Turcs * mStt*ti
in the Schools of the Cimrch of Chartrei, about the cad of the i fnth,
aod the beginning of the Eleventh Century. His Reputation gain'd him
5cfaolar$ from all Parts, wlio went out of hit School full of Leamioe and Piety, and difFafed
his Light in France and Germany ; infomtich that all the Ingenioas rerlorts of that time, glo-
ried in having been his Scholars. He was in grcar Repute wi:h King l^'l'ert ; and, as lome
Hiftorians tell us, he was his Chancellor. In the Year 1007. he fuccecded i(fdul»bm in the
Bilhopridt of Cbgrtttt ; land govein'd that Cborch with a great deal tff Vigilance ana Prudence,
for the fpace of One and twenty Ye.irs and fome Months. Hcdy'd Apri' o, 018. 1 1

He compos'd 4everai Letters, ScraoaaSf and Pieces of Poetry. His Letters atnounc

In the Firft he cxpl.iin^ three EfTential Points of Our Faith; namely, The Myftery of the
Trinity, the Saaament of Baptifm, and the Sacraments of Life , to wit, of the Body and
Blood of our l ord. We fliau not here ftand to repeat what be has faid aboat the My-
' f ;hc Trinity and the Incarnation ; 'tis enough to take notice that he has given a very
exai5l ixpI.Tnntion of them, and that he has very particularly rented the Jtrrors of the Art"
MiSt h!efr-'i--n;s and Eiitycht.tris. Upon the Sacraments, he fays, That we ought not to reft
upon the Fxtcmal .ind Vifiblc Signs but to attcn;! rn the Invifibl P wpr ^.nd Efficacy of
.

thek IVtyiLcrics. " We know, fays he, and 'tis an unqucftionablc 1 ruth, That we were
*' polhiiod by our firft Birth, and purified bf die feOmd ; dwrdbie we are buried and we
" die with
J E SU S C H R I S T. that wc may be bom again and quicken'd with him.
The Water and the Holy Gboft arc united in that Sacrament ; the Water denotes the

^^'rhc Second ^acr of Tulhirt of Ch*rtres is concerning a Cuftom in ufe in hic dme, of
kept and com-
ClTing to the Pricfts, after their Ordination, a Confecratcd Hoft, which they
municared of for {any Days together. He had been ask'd the Reaibn of this Cdtom. But
before lie reply d to tha:, he obfcrv d, That difTcrcnt Churches had ifieir diflbcm Cnftont;
which w.-s no hindrance of their being united in the fame con-.mon Faith. Afterwards, he
f ^ 1 h v this Cuftom was obferv'd by all the fiiflioptof bis Country : That he remember'd
tnat iorincrly a Prieft. having receitf'd a ooofecraced Hpft fma
hi* Bilhopt. atid con^"^.
eating thereof every Day, it one Dflyh^ppcn'd, Thar after he had celebrated thcfe MyftciiOb
Jieloit this Hoft, by wrapping his Habit in the Communion Table-cloth. That on the
Morrow, in die time of Celebration, when he came tocommonicaie, he was very orach fur.
ptiz'd at his mifling the Hoft. That the Bilhop, being inform'd of what had happcn'd
thiougb his Carelefsncfs, had impos'd on him a very fcvcrc Pcnnaocc. S. Fuihert adds. That
/ '
ibis Accident gave bim an occafion of asking this fiifhop, Whedier it were nor better that the
Priefts Ihould eat this Hoft, the firft or frcnnd Day after it was confecratcd without dividing ,

itintofomany Pieces But that ihisB lliop had return "d him this Anfwcr, Tliat they were
obUg'dtoicMptbisHoft forthefpaceof Fony Days; becaufe, as JESUS CHRIST
had
been Forty Day* upon Earth after his Refurredion, and appear'd to his Apoftles feveral times;
fo the Bi(hop, in ordaining bis Prielts. gave them the Liicharilt to take for Forty Days toge-

ther, ro put them in mind of thofe Forty Days during which our Lord appear'd to his Apo-
ftles after his RefurreAion. Fuihert having arit'd. Whether this Myftery might not be as well
perform'd by the Bread which the Priefts confecratcd eveij Day , was anlwer'd by the Bi»
(bop. That as many parricular Churches fprcad over the race of the whole Earth, made bat
One C^'holick Church, becaufe they have all one Common Faith ; juft Co, many Partko*
cular Hi)'b offer d by many Faithful, are only One Bfrsd, becaufe of theUntfy of the Bo-
dy of CHRIST: That Bre:iil centre:. ucj by r!ie K'V.or.

Cco6, is difeteiK from tk« Body ofJESUSCHRlST when raifed from the Dead :
Even fi> it feims, That the Bieaa confecratcd on the Ordination-day, and kept by the Priefts*
may have a particular Signification diftrncfl from the Rread which was confccrared every
Day i the former may denote the Body of J£SU S CHRIST
raifed from the Dead, to

In "he N;n Leaci he rc ui :,s an Anfwer to tl-c R ^op cf P.ir/i, upon rhrec Points. The
fi li

Firft is upon that fii (hop's deiiring him to Excommunicate one who had Iciz'd upon fome
Revcooea belonging to the Cfanrdi of pMri. He fays be had not doK ic, ( i .) ficcaidfe be bad
not mcr with any Mm
who would venture to give him notice of this Excommunicadoik
(z.) Becaufe 'twas to no purpofe that this Man (hould be declared excommunicated in the
OnKb of Chartret, without Knowing any thing of it. Be^ule he thought it might more
conveniently he done in a Synod of the Bif>ir ps of the Province. The Second is aoout the
Arch-deacoo of Parit, of whom his Bilhop compkin'd. Fuibert fent him Word, That it Iw-
nifi d nothing to ooofnlc him about it, Hnce it was his Bullnefs u judge liim ; and that Wt

oftr'd to refier bimfclf to their Arbitration ; and that if he pleated to appoint a Day wherein
he would meet h m, with fome One in behalf of the Alonkaof $. i3)eaMf, at $,Anm^bm, he
would be there iikcwife to adjult thcle Differences.
The follow ir.p Letters, to the One and rwenricth, contain very little of Ecdefiafticai
Maitent but in thia tbeic is mention made of a very remarkable Alanier of Fad. The AbboC
of & Ftteri ef CBartrrs being very lick, a Monk, named Megemertt, fiole by Night out of \
the Monaftery and wen: to beg the Abbacy of Count Thitcld
, , Son of Count F.udes of
Ckttttret, who was then at BUh. The Count fent him back oo the Morrow with Orders,
That he (honid be received as Abbot. Anfwer was made him , That this ought not to be
alfovwd ; Ix'caufe they could nor acknowledge him for Abbot, who had bi^gf;'d the Abbacy
of another be&re the ^fent Abbot was dead , and who intended to carry it by Authority,
nd me receive it by filed ion. He went and carry 'd this Anfwer back to the Count ; ami
within five Day; a'ter, the Abbot dy'd. The Monks, wi'h fome Canons who had enter'd the
Moraftery, helid a Chapter: Full/eit was there prefent, and askd them. Whether there were
any among them who approv'd of wh.it MtgeiurdhAd done? Tliey all anfwer d, No.
Thereupon it wa« order'd. That One Ihould be fent to the Counr, ro carry him the News of
the Abbot's Death ; and to intreat him to grant the Monks leave lu clmlc another. At the
Weaking up of the Chapter, two Monks, who had been Provofts of the Out-patts, went
to Blcis to tell the Count, That Mtgendrd was Eleded, and required to be Abbot, by the

nations brought againit Bcrenger. To conclude, be dcaionltratcs that 'tis much greater, iud
more excellent to'beliwe that we receive the real Body of JESUS CHRIST,,
thaa to
ioMgine that we only receive the lhadow and fign of it.
Afterwards be refutes in (hon their Opinion, who pretended that one part of the Bread
and Wine was chang'd, and that the orher remain d ftilj the fame: And tl.e Opinion of
thofc who believ'd tbac the firead and Wioe re-aliuin'd (beir former Nature, when unworthy
Perfons approach'*! thereto. Both of thdc Opiniow were grounded upon this. That they
could not cohl. i> 10-.' [1 Wi 'rrcd could bf partakers of the Body of JESUS CHRIST.
To folve this difficulty, Guitmond diitineuiibes between two forts of Receivins, the one
Corporeal, the other Spiriwal t That the Juft receive the Body of J E S S U CHRIST
both thc-ll' ways; that the Wicked receive it or.'v in the firft fenfc, though they do teally
receive It. He adds. That if only pan of the Conlecnued Bread were dnng'd into the

upon the accouoe of thofe who were i oi diy to reoetve
it, then no Man could afliircdly fay, Tinj is the Body <?/ JESUS CHRIST, becaufe
no Man ought to affirm conhdtndy that he is worthy to receive it. Wherefore it vrouid be
ndineft in the Prieft to fay. This it the Body of J ESUS CHRIST, is wcO tc in the
People to anfwer, It it fi. That beHde*;, if a vicious Prieft (hould Confccrate an Hoft
which he ought to receive all himfclf, then there would be neither Change nor Confecra-
tion ; and by this means it would he true to affinr, That the Wickcdnefs of the Prieft
would difannul the Efr'c-cv of the Words of JESUS CHRIST, ard r'nr »he Bcucf
of the Church whicli is pcrluadcd, that the Words of our Saviour are alike Efficacious in
Good and Bad Priefts, would be abfolurely falfc. Laftly, To refute the laft Opinion, he
obfcrvc* thar 'ti<; contrary to found Senfe and Reainn tn fay, Thnr rhc tnrorrnp^iblc Body of

C K I S T is chang'd in corruptible Creatures , and he concludes all by laymtt

JESUS
CHR I S 1 it docs not contain it by an Imfanatien :
, That the Bread and Wine are not

bit of a Monk v\ the Abby of Cluny. We
make mention of this Author here, tho' he be-
lon^is to thf m-xt Century, becaufe the principal Trcatife which he wrote, was that where-
by he refutes the Errors which £.<t»/r4»4 atid Guitmond have oppos'd. This Treatife is en-
thlcd, j4 Difccurfe ceneeming the Body nnd Blood of JESUS CHRIST,
and divided into
three Bocks. In the Preface he takes notice of the four Errors about the Eucharift, a)en-
lion'd by Guitmond, and Subjoyns two more ro them. The One is, That the Bread and
Wine are chang'd into FIcih and Blood, but not into the Body and Blood of JESUS
CHRIST: The Other, That the Evcharift is nmi'd info Excwmems. He afterwards -

propofes ro refute thcfc Errors, not by the forrr? of humane Rcafon, but by the Teftimonies
of JESUS CHRIST and the Saints. But before he docs this, be advertiics the Faidi^
fd, thar tho' Myftcry be incOmptehenfibte, yet it does not from ihenoe firflow tha(
this
incrediMc, becaufe God has a Power fiifficfi .- to do things which we arc not capable of
Comprehending. After this he divides his Work into two Parts : la tiie former he lays. He

Corporeally, tho not Spiritually. Thefc are the priocipfli Poincs which Algtr »Athi\tkmm u^q^
the TclHmonics of the Fathers in this firft Book.
In the fecond Part he treats of other Qucftions relating to the Sacrament, and particularly
whether the Euchtritt be capable of any alteration^ or fobjn^ to tiie fiune condition witb
other Aliments, part of which tarns to E»ec mi it i m
? Upon this Head hb fen trpon the Gre^
eians, who maintain d, That by rccLiv nr. the Commuiiion, Men broke their Fafts. He
owns thai Men might live of Coofecrated Bread and Wine, and that there are Inftucss of
k: But he denies that any pait of the Eudtartft is Corrupted, or iwnVI tnto Execremfntss
or if any .\ic voi l-.!, they .ire produc'd by the fkfh of the Aim iiimfclf, or ^jpnlyM fome
Other way. He furcHcr maintains. That tho' the- Bread and Wtne feem to be lubje(2 toal-

reality, but only in appearance, to punidi die Incredulity of the Wicked, or tlie CarelefTneis
of Mtniftcrs. After he had thus refolv d that Qjucftion, he pa{ies^>i) to odiers that ace kis
Confidcrable : Namely, (i.) Why God, who is tnvifible, would have ns to ofler faia a vi-

and bec.iufc Man being a Compound Creature n^tdc up of a Soul and Body, 'tis rcafonablc
he Ihould offer to God ooth Corporeal and Spiritual Sacrifices. (%.) The fecond Qnel^ion
is. Why Church is made up of n Sacrament and the Body of
the Sirri!ir(» of the JESUS
C H R. I S T, and why 'tis not eitiicr a lunple Sacrament, or the viiiblc Body of JESUS
CHRIST? This he rcfolvcs by faying, That if the Eucharift were a Hmple Sacrament
.

if wonl'l not be diflercnt from the Sacraments of the old Law and that if the BdJy of
;

JtStJSCHRIST flioold appear therein opcniy. it would be fubjed to great Incon-

veniences. For (lays he) it would appear either alive or dead ; but it cannot appear as dead,
fioce he is living ; and if it appear 'd alive, it would either be in the lame State wherein ic
was before his Paflion, or in the Cime State wherein it was after his Refurredbion : In the
lirllCale, it would be impo/TibIc to fwailow it and in the fecond, Men would nor be able
,

to cndorc the brightncli of its Glory. That befides, it was neceHary that the Body of
7^ C4it.IST ftooM be coooeai'd onder fluidows and reprefeiiations, to ezenrifc
tfu- T" li'I: of the One, and to prevent others fmi u tering Blafphemtes, and fr in ciur^ing :he

Cbriftians with eating and diinkm| hwnanc Flelh and Bkiod. The third Que&ioo is,
{).) Why God femtifcs (b omdi Faitii in this Sacrament ? He anfweis. Thar being Mm
in a laps d State, occaufc yt<iam by giving too much Credit to the Words of ih DcvII, had
aaien of the forbidden Fruit ; 'ris neccifary we (hould be lav'd Iw ^eving the of W<^
<M, who injoyns ns to car his Body, and drink his Blood in this Sacnunenc. (4.) The
fourth Queftion is. Why we make ufc of Bread and Wine, rather than any other Creature ?
For this he aiTtgns ievcral Reafons, Becaufe Bread and Wine arc the ordinary Nouriflb-
ment of Man. which fupports the corporeal Life, as the Eucharift is the Nonrifhtnent of tho
Soul, which fupports the fpiritua! Life : Becaufe as the Bread and Wine are cbang'd into
Flefli and Blood, Co they are here chang'd into the Boriy and Blood of JESUS
CH R S T Becaufe the Bread being ixiade up o{ feveral Grains of Com, and the Wine
:

cnr of feveral Bunches of Grapes, is a figure of the Unity of the Church which is made up
of feveral Perfons. (j.) Tte fifth Qpdtion is. Why we do not iniftyediately enjoy Life

I S T ^ He replies, That 'tia
becaufe we may have rime to exerdle our fclves in Virtue. (6.) "1 he fixth QBcftion is.

tionof doing GootI or Evil. (7,) The feventh Queftion is. Why Bread is confecrated into DtJtoK of

they tigure out to us. fS.} The eighth Qiicftion is, Why wc rrrjkc u(c of White Bread ra-
ther than Brown, ihough at the fame time wc confccrate Wine ol aii forts of Colours ? He
aaSmtnt That in cafe of Neceility, one may nuke ufe of any (ore of Bread ; but that 'tis
proper to ufe the Whiteft, bccaufe it is to be chang'd into the glorious Body of the fpoc*
IcfsLamb. (9.) The ninth and laft Queftion is, Why we make ufe of Unleaven'd rather
than Leaven'd Bread, although we indif}erently make ufe of Wine that has Lees as well ai
of (hat which has oone? He £iys, That this is a grand Difpute between the Xdsr«it and the
Ovei^f, who treat on« another as Hererkks, and c^l each other A^pmtM and fememtarums,
though one may fafely ufe the One as well as the Other; that notwithftanding this, JEStJS
CH& 1& T
tnade ufe of Uoleayea'd fitead as a Figure of Parity. He likewife relates the
Eeafims of the Greekf ; and after lie had anfwei^d item, he omcliuks, Tliacit mm

Church from its beginning.
lb the laft Book be difeoiitiM of leiwnl 0
Eucharift And in the firlt place he demands, Whether HeretkJss and Schiimaticks, which
:

are without the Pale of the Church, do coofecnite the Body of J ESUS CHRIST ; and
ax firft be produces the Teftimonies of the Fachety, which feem to prove, That they do noc
confecrare according to due Form. But afterwards having laid it down as a Principle, That
the Validity of the Sacraments doth not depend on the Faith' or Piety of the Minifter , he
concludes, Thar as Hcrericks and Schiimaticks may baptise, fo llkcwifc can they confecratej
an(j rh'-t the Ordinarion of Pricfthood is n^urh rimorrg them as Baptifir This he prove?
from Icvcral Principles and Paifages of S. -fiugujHn, and replies to thole Pafiages which be at
fiiftftarted againft theSacraments of Hereticks and Schifmaticks, which (he fays) oueht not
to be undcr{^o<)d nf the Sacraments ihcmfclvcs, bur nf rhe Abufe which they make of them,
fincethey are fo far from being beneficial to thcin, :li.u ihcy render them the more Criminal*
He aftei-wards asks. Whether the Sacraments are valid if any Addition or Alteration be
,

tnade of the Words of the Office, either by the Wickednefe or Careleineis of him who offi-
ciates } He explains this Qtieftion as it relates to Bapttfin ; and, after he had ctt^ feveral
Paflages out of & Auguftin and the Popes, and among others out of Pope /^nchary he con-
,

diadas. That provided the EiTential Words be recited, tbo' by careklsoels it happens thac
fKedbft Voids be added thereto, or fome Ceremony be left our, yet dris does not hmder '

the Efficacy of the Sacrament. He docs not app!* this Principle to the Euvhirlft, bat only
fays in geacr^l. That in the Celebration of tbele Holy Myfteries we ought not to introduce
afyBncfies or Novelties; butiahUully wobfenreihelnftitHiiMof TESCJS CHRIST,

becaufc we conceive and believe it to be quite another Thing than whatit feetns to be to our

the Analogy which there is between our Spiritual and Corporeal Nouriflunent. That we
ottghc not to believe that when we receive the Body, we do not receive the Blood ; and
that when we receive the Blood, we do not receive die Body ; but that tbcy are exhibited to

' That the Wicked do indeed recdfe the Snbftance, tho* not the Bff^ and Benefitf di the

his Fault, begg'd Pardon for it, given Hoftages for a Security of hi« Allegiance, and pro-
mis d to reflore the Forts of Laon to the King. But afterwards he vi^ent back from his Word,
would have r^ken the Arch«btfhop of Ifkeimt Prifbaer, under a Pretence of reflonng to him
the Citadel of L,im and kcpr thofe Men Prifoneri? who were fent ro rake Poffe/fion

thereof. The Pope upbraids him with this Pcrfidioui'nefs, and cites him to a Council to be

Appearance, he would pronmmce Sentence afjainrt him, without admitting his ExCufc of the
Dangers of Travelling, Jiivcc there was no more Danger in the Kingdom of Lorrain than m
Uafy: And whereas he might perhaps alledge Sickneis as an Excufe, the Pope add.s That if
he mndc ufe of that Shift, he mud (end fome to teftifie the Troth of it, aod to anfwer aoihe
Accufations which were prefcrrd againft him.

That upon this Account the Lat er oughtto pay a dueRefpcd to the Former, and not to be fo

TeJa'J without taking any notice of liie Pcrion whom Gregory petcnded to be the lawful
Arch-b &op of the place. Immediately upon th:s the Pope wrote to Tedald atid to the Suf-
fragans of the Arch-bithopritk of Milan, 10 prevent his Ordination ; ami cited him to the
.Synocj which Was to be held at I{ome. Thcle Letters are the Eighth and Ninth of the Third
£<>ok dated Srftmher 7th, and OfiFo^r i o:h, 1 07 5. That very Day he wrote a long Letter to
King Hewy, oy which be exhorts h'm to feparate himfclf from the Communion of thofe
^ho were Excommunicated By the Holy Sec, and to receive immediate Ablblurion from
fome Biftiop who had receiv'd Commiifion from him to grant it to that Prince. He tells
hitn, that he isfurpriz ti to fee, that ciio" in his Letters he exprcffes all manner of rcfpetft and
fubmi^n to die Holy See, yet he oppoies the Canonical and Apoftolick Inftitutioos thereof ;
and pardcojlarfy rhar ne had nor kept to the promiles which be node to him by the Ihincefs
his Mother, a ;! 1;', h;s Lrp.irs concerning the Church of MH.m ; and that on the contrary he
had bcftow'd the Biibopricks of Sfaleta and Fermo to the prejudice of what had been injoyn'd
by die Holy See : Heezbora him 10 a fincere fabmiffion to the SaiH^om of the Holy Sec,
ani\ to put them in Execution : And he promifcs him however that if be could llicw him by ^
Perfons of Prudence and Piety, how an Accomodation might be found ou^ he would very
readily lay hold on it for his SatisfadHon.
About the end of thi-; Year, the Pope fell out with Cinciuij Son of Mcric, the Prefr of ^^.^ ^
Hpiae ; and after he had Excommunicated him, he ca(t him into Prifon, if Bnmotmy be Amfiedbj
erediied in the Cafe. Cincius having made his Bfeape, oonfpir'd againft the Pope ; and Cinciai*
having rais'd a Troop of Soldiers, fct upon Mm unaware; on Qhrtjlmr.fs Day, whillt he was
celebrating Mafs in hii Pontilicil Robes, feiz'd upon his Perfon, drew hun by Violence out

to oblige hini to relcafc the Pope, Cincius hiiding tliat he was conltram'd to do it, uuide

the Fopc to promife him, before he fet him at liberty, that he would not do any thing
to him, or his Accomplices. But the People being inrag'd burnt and pillag'd the Revenues
belonging to Cincius both within and without the City. Cincius for his part burnt and de-
molifh'd all that belong'd to the Church of ^arm. This Conteft beldftr filDK Days> beii^

terwards they wrote a Letter to Gregory, in the Name of the Arcb-bilhops of M^euce and
TVeves, and of Four and fort>' Bilhops of Germany, by which ibey declar'd to him. That
tbo' they knew he bad been advanc'd to cbe Papal Chair contrary to all manner of Right,
?ret they had thought fit to tolerate his fntrufion, in hopes that he would have made amends
or ihefe criminal Beginnings, by his Probity, and the good Services he would do tbe
Cbttrcb : fiuc tbai the miferahle Mate of tbe Untverial Cbutcb, was a fufficient demon-
ftrattOQ diat the (eqnel of fait Aiftions was aniwierable n> iStek unhappy Beginnings. That
tho* our Saviour had recommended Peace and Charity as the principal Chara(5ter of Cbri-
ilians, yet he on the concraty, fow'd OiviHons in the Cfaiirc& by bis Novelties, and cote ir
in pieces by his proud Cknelcy, or rarber by bis cruel Pride. That be was the Head of
the Schifm, and that he had created Confuflion and Trouble to the Members of the
Cburcb, who before his Time Itv'd in Union and Peace, by blowing up tbe. Flames o£
Dilcotd in atl tlie Churches of Jtdfyt Germn^r, Finmef and Spain. That he was defiro« to
(trip the Bilhops of that Power which they rcceiv'd in tlie'r Ordination from the Holy
Ghoft ; and had delivcr'd them up to the fury of the People, who could not endure any
Bilhops or Priefts, but thofe wiio had by an umvoirtby Complai&nce bcg d their Power and
thL-ir Pricfthood from his Pride. That he had been the raufe of great Cor ri:fioii between
;

the Members of JESUS CHRIST; fubverted the Subordination which was requititc to
be obferv'd among them j and deflroy'd the Ri^KS and Privileges of alt other Bilhops, hf
aflcning that as foon as ever he fliould have notice of the Offence of any one of their Dio-
cefans, the BilTiops ihoiiid have no farther any Power of binding or iooTmg them. Tbac
fincc they could not find in their Confciences to leave the Cburcb in tbe danger to which ic
was expos'd by bis continued Outrages, they thought it proper to acquaint him with that,
which they were hitherto willing to pafs by in filcnce, «j>f. That he had never been capable
of being lawfully (eared upon the Holy and Apoftolick See, becaufe he bad taken an Oath
in the Life dme of tbe Emperor Herny of blelfed Memory, that be would never be Pope,
nor ftffer any other to be adVanc'd to that Dignity wtrhoot the conftnt of ibat Emperor, or
"^an after him. Th.it he had form.illy rcnounc'd the Popedom, in order to bring over the
other Cardinals to do the like. That in tbe time of Pope NicioUs 11. be himfelf bad been
^ Author of a Decree made in a Comctl of One hundred and fifteen Bilhops, importing
that no Pope Ihould be made but who was Eletfled by the Cardinals, acknowlcdg d by the
People, and approv'd of by the King. That be bad tranfgrcis'd\all tbefc Promiics atid all
tbele SanAions : That moreover he gave a great fcandal to the Chnrdi, by holding too great
a familiarity with a Woman (meaning MatiL^d) and that it became a general complaint, that
all the Alfairs of the Church were manag'd by the Counfcls of Women. That one cannot
complain too much of the unworthy Treatment he fbews to Bfthops. Thetefbie far as
much as 'tis evident, that by Perjury he enrred upon the Papac>' j that he has difhirb'd t!ie
Church by bis dangerous Novelties; and fcandaliz'd it by the irregularity of his Life,
they renounce that Obedience whicb they never promis'd him , and would no longer

Whilft Affairs ftood in this pofture, Gregory ihoaght that before he broke out into an open
War, it was ndvifable to ale nis frefli eiideavours to bring over King Henry to fubmit to
what he was minded to require of him. Tn forward this deiign he dirc<3cd a Letter to
all the Bifhops, Abbots, Priefts, Dukes, Princes, Knights, and in general, to all tbe Faiih-
fiilof tbe j^MMii Empire, wherein after be had dedar'd vrhat be had dene in fiitwr of
Henry, and the bafe returns be had reoeiv'd 6r k ; be exhorts them to prevail upod
this Prince to do Pennance, that fo he mighe be reconcil'd to the Church, declaring that
if he wotild not hearken to their Counfds, they ought to convene together to confult the
Vellfare of tbe Uoivctial Cborcb. He pws them in imnd^holduw no Conefpondence
with thole who were not ftpartted fiom Oomaranion with MMrjr. ooncfude, he ctfls
God to wimefs, th.ir he had no temporal Advantage in his eye. bur the Wcllfare of tbe
Chuch was the onlv Motive of what he did. This Letter wbicb is the Firlt of tbe fourth
Bodk, heindave t5, te die Year, io7«.
Within a while after Merman Bifhop of Met^, who kept Neuter in this ASiir, wrote to
Grtgirji to ask him whether the Bifhops who communioued with Henry were excommu*
tdened, and at die fame time he takes nacioe «o lum that dm
were fome Perfons wto
maintatn'd that a King could not be excommunicated.
,
Grenry anfwcr'd him by the
Second Letter of tbe fame Book written at Tivoli, Anguft 15. That there was no qocftion
lo be made bar that all thole wbo communicated with King Hmry (if it be lawful to call
him King) were excommnnicated : And that with refped to ihofc who fay that a King ought
not to be excommunicated, there was no need to return them an Anfwer, (ince their Opini>

ifliid out againft him, promtfing that be would always be ready to anfwer the Accufations

grant him Abfolution, provided he would come in Perfon, and hjmb!y fne for it. This
Prince rcfolv'd to fubmit to it, rather than be entirely difpoflcls'd of the Empire by the
Princes of Germany. He thereupon came to Canoffa, and entred the OucworiES of diae

King of Cafitle^ whom he compliments for his good Intentions towards the Holy Sec, fold-

Sotne time after that Prince, barkening to the Advke of a Monk nam*d ^^en, woidd no
longer be fo fubjcdl to the Pope a'> he had been, and openly roolc upon him to grant the In-
vdiitures of the Benefices in his Kingdom. This provok'd Gregerj very much : He ex-
commimieaicd i(«Arrr, ami order'd him to be oonfino in the Monafteiy of Chmj^. He wiwe
to ylfphenfo, willing him, To harkcn no longer to hi«; Cotinfcls; to make rrpr:'-»rion for the
ill he had done; to part from the Relation of his Wife, whom he had Marry J, and to do

what l(iebard his Legac Ihoald advifc him. See the Secondt ThinI, and Fourth Letteis of ,

the eighth Book, which are dated in the Year, 1080.

That Prince very probably fubmitted to the Counfels of Gregorj For by the Seoood
Letter of the mnth Bcmk, the Pope wrote to him, as to a Firiace emirrly wsvoced vo the
Holy See ; who had inrroduc'd the Service of the Church of J{eme into his Dominions ; who
refcr'd the choice of the Arch-biihops of his Kingdtmi to the Pope ; and who ask'd his ad-
vice upon fome Cafes of Confcience, and upon what concern 'd the Churches of Sfih. On*
gery by this I cttcr :uImonifyics him, nOt to tolcr.iie the Jeifi to have Cbriflian olaves, and
crants Abfolmion to him and his Aihcrcnts of all their Sins, and wiihes them an al^nte
ViiSbory over all their Enemies.
Spain w.i"; not the only Kingdom of Eurrpe which G'fgery VII. pretended did formerly
f^if fg.
to tlie Holy See ; he maintain d the fame Prctciifion widi reloedt to moft of the other
tntfivit^ belong

to tht to hold diein as Fiefs frnm him. Ho more cfpccially carry 'd this Prerenfion to the moft rr-
Kingdtm mote Countries whofe Kmgs were newly converted to the Chrifiian Keligion. This be
wetrijeoM' grounded upon the account that thefe Princes, at the time of their Cpnverfioo, had eirbv
^Wti* remitted their Crowns into the Ii.Tnd"; of the Pope to receive them again from him, or
thrown ihcir Kingdoms under the proteAion of the Holy See. Or LaQly, Pennitte<l the
Tfr Pre- Railing of a certain Contribution for the Church of I{ern:. He elbbUA'd npoH thefe de-
tenfoat of
monrir.irionsof Submiffion, and upon thefe Alms or Liberalities, a certain Tribute to be
Gttforj psid to the Holy Sec. 'Tis upon this Principle that he took it ill that Solomon King of
MHDil* Hungary h.id rcceiv'd that Kingdom from the hands of King Hemy: fiecaufe (as he pr«*
gaty. tended) Step' en fonr.crly after h's Converfion had offer d .ind given it to the Holy See ; and
the Empcrur Hcwj> after he had Conquer'd it, had fcni to lifme its Lance and its Owtrn :
From whence he concludes that he ought to receive the Sccpcr fitim his bands, and threaxw

This is the Subjeift of the 1 hirtcenth Letter of the fecond Book, diretfted to that Prince,

Gregory Vl\. wbo hanfelf had been Legat in France, had no mipd to abragMe ibis d.
fiom; on the contrary, the firrt thing he did after he was Eledled Pope, was to continue
the Legats fent by his Predcceflors, and to fend new ones into thofe pans, where there
u cre none. By the Sixth Letter of the 6rft fiook, he conHrms the Legation of Ger^mi
Cardinal Bilhcp of Oftia, and of the Sub-dracon f{atnb^!d Legats in Fmnc.; orders rhem to
do their utmoll in making up ilic Breach between Hugh Abbot of Cluny and his Moakl^
and fends them Hugh the finite a Cardinal, to go into Spain, if they thongbc fir.
In th Eighth Letter, he likcwife continues the Legation of Hubert and Albert, and
•

horts them to execute the Commiffion which his Predecelfor Mexander had given them.
In the Sixteenth, he ihews how he would have his Lcgati demean themfelves towaitb
him, by writing to Cardinal Gerard of Ojiia, that he was very much furpriz'd at his not
fending him word by an Exprefs, what had been done in the Synod which he had held
in Spain, bccaufe it was cuftonarf, and wicbal neceflary tbat «4ien a Legat of tbe Ho«
ly See held a Council in a rcrrote Country, he (hould come and give an accoun: of
what he had done, or at leafl fend one to do it for htm : That tho' that Cardinal had Mb
quainted him with part of the Proceedings, yet fince there was no Perfon, wboeiiher (aw or
beard, how things went in that Synod, to inform h m about it, he was very much ac
a ftand what anfwcr to give thofc, who complain'd of having been excommunicated,
depos'd or interdided unjuftly ; for fiear he (hould either be deceiv'd by the intricacy
of the Caufes, or fliould not fully exercife his Authority : That however, 'tis look'd
upon as a piece of Cruelty and Contempt, to defer giving thcfc kind of AnTwen; bci-
caufe of the dangers they are in, who arc under Eccledadical Cenfures: That as to tbebn-
fincfs of ll^il'.iim Arch-bilhop o( AucLe, whofe re-eftablilhment he delir'd him to grant; he
had hinifelf rais d perplexities in his mind, by taking notice to him that he had been de-
pos'd only for having voluntarily communicatied with an excommunicate Per(ba$ and dnt
yet he had not clcar'tl himfelf Canonically, but only offer 'd to do it before Pope Alexander:
That after this Affair had been debated, at laft the)- came to this Refolution, That if the
Afdi*bilbop of Auebe were guilty of nothing elfe, but of having communicated widi an e*.
eommunicatc Perfon, he ought not to be deposd j but that if he were charg'd with any
Other Crimes of which be was not dear'd, the determination thereof ought to be rcfcrr'd
to the Holy See : TbaKPsMfiiw BiAop of Besfiers, who (as he fent word) had been depos'd
for the fame Ofience, was come to I{pme to make his complaint ; but that be had declin'd
giving him any anfwer out of Rcfpe<fl to him : That however, fince the like Sentence
to be pafs'd on Cafes that are alike, ifhe were guilty of no other fault, be ooeht
to rc-eftablifli him. The Arch-bi(hop of Aucbe was re-eftablilh'd, and the Pope wrote in
bis behalf to the Bifhop of Be:(iers, and to the other Suffragans, that they fliouid acknow-
ledge him, and (hew him the Refpetfl which thty ow'd bim. This b tfaeFhe and fiftieth

Cefareus Arch-bilhop of Aries, as to that part of G*ul, which was then under tlic Dominion
'
of the Goths : But at the fame time he made S. Hpny, Archbilbop of Hjjeims, his Vicar in the

it felf in the Kingdom under Cbildelfert^ and even through all France, by thr favour of the Popes
Vigilius, PeUiitul. .Gregory the Great, and y<N&» VIII. But Adrian 1. fcitor d this Honour
to the Arcb-bidtop of I(heim; and the Popes ItnM/iVi III. and Nichclat I. confirm 'd it. Pope
Sergius granted ir to the Bilhop of Met:(, in confidcration of the Pcrfon of Dreux, the Em- .

peror's Uncle. Bur the Bilhops of Prance would no: acknowledge him, and we do iioi find
that his Succeflbrshavc pr Ri dcd [lercto. Anfegifw Arch-bilhop of Sens^ obuin'd the fame

to Irlonour with this Quality, and granted it the Primacy o\cr lour Provinces of France I'ugthe Fri^

Holy Apoftolick See, and that the Dignity ot Pnrr.atc had been granrcd by his Predeceflbrs

gory VII. continued the fame Rcmonftrances : But being imlirmV! that M^w.iJJcj, notwith-
ilatidinq all the Promiies which he had made by his DepaticJii to give him i«cis£lii^ion, coO'
tinu'd his Abufes to diofc IteJigious, arid enjoy'd their ReT^oes; He wrot« « Letter m

imtncd lately caufe a Regular Abbot to be put into that Abbey, and if he did not give fiicb
Orders as chat the Religious might have no farther Reafen t* coinpflin of him : And nt
the fame time he orders Uu^h Abbot of C/uny lo com ey that l etter to him, and to learn his
Anfwer. Thcfe arc the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Letters of the firik ficwk, dated Jime the
S9th, and the 6rft which Gregery wrote after his Ordination,
Manajjet olscy'd the Popes Orders, and caus'd fVtUiam, Abbot of S. Amalfhus of Afr#f,
to be cledlcd nifo Abbot of S. ^my
of t{hcims. The Pope approV*d of the Choice of the
^crfon ;but he thought it hard that one Man (hoald hate die Charge of two Abbeys.
However, be permitted William to hohl, or relinquifh that of I{emy, as he thought fit.
hf it for fome time; but not being able to endure the Tyranny and Opprel?ion of
M'VtaCics, he rcfign'd that AbUy. The Pope wrote to Manaffrs to order another Abbot to
\k cleded, and gave at the fame time notice to Hermgn fiiftop of Met:(y that Abbot
IVttliam WIS willinp to ttMt in the Abbey of his Diocefs. This is the Subjed^ macter
of the Finy fccond and third Letters of the firft Book, dated March the J4th, i -74.
The next year the Pope, by the Fifty fixth letter of the fecond Book, dated March the
4th, committed to Man.iffet, the Execution of the Sentence pafs'd againft the BiHiop of ChO'
/cms, wIk) had been depos d for not appearing before the Synod of I{fme, to which he had beeit
cited, upon the account of fome Differences between Him and his Clergy. And by the
Fifty eighth dated the 5th of the fame Month, he orders him to caufe the P'f'^opor Noym
to reftorc to the Bifhop of Vtrecbt^ a Church which he had unlawfully iciz'd up-
on.
Hugh Biihop of Lcgat of the Holy Soc in Frr.n:t, hnv'w? cited Mmajfes to a Coun-
eil, which he had caJl d at Aunm, that Arch-b:(hop thought it bctnath him to appear ^here;

which caqs'd the Legat to Condemn him. Manajfes went immediately to Home to clear

;

when that Billiop cnmc noi, the Caufe of Manajfet was argu d m a Council, between Hint

did not appear before the Council oi Autun, the Sentence palVd againft him in that Council
wasdcchr'd invalid, uptti condition that he would appear bt fore the Pope's Lcgar, when-

t)ia and the Abbot of Cluny, to a Council to be held ar Treyes ; be went rbither with part
of his Clergy : But the Clerks who accus'd him not daring to come thither, he was coun-
fennand^d, and the Legats of the Pope were toot at that Council. Manajfet appcard then,
ftorwithOnndipg the Order-; to the contrary, and thought he had difcharg'd the Promife
which he had made ro the Pope. He pretended likcwilc that according to the Promifes he
made, he was oblig ; :

of Vienna, who had depos'd and re^fhblilh'd feveral Priefts of the Dioceft of J^'asr; atM
of the Bil^.ops of Laon and Soijfens his SuffVnganS, who had ordain'd a Bifhop of Amitn*

ennd Letter of the (ixth Book, dated Augujl rhc 2 ad, 1078. That he ought 10 acknowledge

Falihood in the Council of R^me. That if he had no Accufcrs, he was not obltg'd to come
and clear himfelf I^efore the Council, by ibe Teftimony of fix fiiftops of an anblame-
able Life : That when he would have done it, he could not, becaufe of the (hortnefs of
the lime that was aUow'd him ; and that it would be difficult to find in his Proviiice fix

to the Pope to appear before the Council which (hoald be held by his Legars, he meant
only I'uc h a Council at Ihould be Iield in France, and in caie he had not lawRil Reafons to
excufe his Non-appearance : Laftly, That for his part, he did not acknowlcge Hugh of

than by Acts of Severity to l-Lcep them at a didancc; That if notwithltanding this Remon-

tobjetft Matter of the Sevcnreenih, Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Letters of the

of having liv'd more like a Great Lord, than a Btlhop ; of having greater Care of his Sol-

The Jiidgircnts which liavc been pafs d on the Pcrlon, Conducfl, Manners and Genius of 'fbevinw$
Gregory VII. have been wholly contrary to each other. His Partii'ans have reprclented him ^udgwuau
to us as a Man very Religious and Pious, Juft, Equitable, Humble, Patient, Unblameable P^t'dnpai
both in hisl.ife and Morals ; a learned Canonilt atid a good Divine, Zealous for the Welfare Gregory
of the Church, ai Lover of Diicipline, an Enemy to Vice, a Protedor of the Innocent, an ^^'*
undaunted Defender of the Ecdefiaftical Righnand Privileges, and afaithfnl Imitator of
G^r irj the Great in his P/tfivrat Ca'C.
i His lincmics on the contrary have made him paft
for a cruel, ambitious, and perfidious Man, who having feiz'd by force on the Papal Chair,
had put the vrhofe Church toto Confufon to gratify his Ambition, and to attain to his De-
figns ; who without refpcA to the Royal Majelty or to the Sacerdotal Dignity, had a Mind,
to m^e Kings his Slaves, and Bilhops his Creatures, by depriving the one of their States,
and by unjuftly Condemning the others, that he mij^t afterwanis give ihem AbTolution :
Who had utterly overrurnM the Dif* iplinc of tlie Church, by being willing to eflabiifh ia
his own Perfon a Monarchy, or rather Tyranny over thio^ both Spiritual and Temporal
Who had advanc'd this unheard of Error fo fiir as to mamtain, that Popes might by Ex-
communicating Kings and Princes, divefl them of their State*;, and abfolve their Subjo^
from the Oath of AlUegauce taltento them : ,Who bad thundcr'd out fo many Excommuni-
cations, and es^iendcd them (b far, that-'there was fcarce a Man in his time who was Pure
of not being excommunicated. I omit fpc.iking of t!>e other grofs Enormities with which
they charg'd him ; I'uch as his being pilty of Sorcery, of holding a diibGneft Familiarity
with the Princcfs Matilda, and of being in the fame Error as Btret^ was about the Eu-
charift. There is no doubt to be made but that tlie Zeal of the One, and the PaiHon of the*
Others, carry 'd them both into Extrcams. To pafe therefore a right Judgment upon him,
itmuft be acknowledged that dils Pope was a great Genius, apable of grear Things, con-,
ftant and undaunted in the execution of his Deligns, well vc:v*d in the Conftitutions of
his Predeccflbrs, Zealous for the Interclts of the Holy Sec, an Enemy to Simony and Li-
bertioifm. Vices whidi he llrongly oppos d, full of ChrifUaft Thou|ha and Zeal &r the

he would never cxprefly sonfcnt to it. However, they Elei&d him, and having taken

and enlarges him(elf on the Adv»itages and rayftical Significations, which it may have.
Heobfervcs that the Bread which is offcr'd in the Church of J{pme is a great deal more pro-

Ssturday, as do the Jem, neither in Lent nor out of Lent. As to the third Point relating to
thiag<; Srranplcd, lie lays that the Latins make ul'e of that Liberty which the Apoltle has
giveij them, of earing all manner of Meats ; but withal obferving the Cuftoni of the Omrchei
wherein they Li\ c, that they might give no ncctfion of Offrncc. He adds, that they likcwife
a'jhor Fating of Blood, or the Flelh of fuch Animal* as are Drown d or Stifled, and that they
ci.jjyn Pcanance to thofc who do it : But as ro Beafts kill'd or taken in Hun'ing. 'tis Aeir
Culiom to cat thereof without any Scruple. In Ihort, as to ihc iaft Hi-r.d, which relates
to the omiiTion of lingir.g ALLELUIA H in Lent, He ni.ikcs it appear that the Latitu
do net omit it out of sny Avcrlion (hereto ; but that they look upon it as an Hymn of
Thanksgiving, whiv h is no: fo fuitabic to that holy time of Pernance and Humiliation. Iti
tliis Treatifc he fpcaks very (barply agaioft the Greekji whom by way of Indttdion he ac-
cufes of being Marcimites, Mamichett, Tlmfafehites, Sec, He upbraids them with Re-bap-
riliug the Latins ; with fuifering Children to Dye without Baptifm, if ihcy be not eight
Days old ; with interring the remainder of the Holy Eucharift ; with permitting marry 'd
Men to wait at the Alrnr^ even at a time when they have had to do with their Wives,
when at the fame time thi.y refm'd to give the Communion to Women newly brctsght to
Bed, or who have their ul'ual Infinnittes upon them s with colcratijjg Sarabait Monks
guiliy of Foroication, whereas they blam'd the Rule of S. BetiediB, which allows the
Alonks of that Order to wear Breeches in a Journey, and to eat of FIclh when they have
occalion for it } and laitiy becaiiie cbcy reprefent in their Crudfixes the figure of a dying Mau,
fo that upon the Crofi of JESUS CHRIST a fort of Anti-Cbrift is exhibited to be
ador'd as a God.
The writiog of Nicetas PcHerttut^ a Smditt Monk, agtinft the Latin Church is a great 7^^^ ff^,,f.
deal more fierce than the Letter of MicbMt CemUnus. He begins with an Admomcion to i';;, cf M-
the Latins, to hearken with Humility and Charity to the Remonftrances which he woi:IJ caa";
oficr to them, concerning Vnitavened Bread, the Faft onSaturdaj, and the Marri.'^gc. oiVi*'ffi *^
Priefts. Upon the fifft mnt
be fays, That tbofe who makenfe of XJnlHuvgiiei Bread ttt
flill under the ftadowof the Law : That they aflift at the Table of the Jews, and do not
eat that Bread wbish is Su/er/ul^antial, or Confubflantial to us; becaufe Vnleaven-d Bread is
Dc^d Bread which has no V;nue or Efficacy in it : Thac 'tis not fuch Bread as is perfe.fl,
comp'e.1.-, or compos 'd of three Things which figure out to us the Body of J h S U S
CHRIST, whidi arc the Leaven, the Meal, and the Water; reprefentations of the
Spirit, the Water, and the Blood of our Saviour. He pretends that JESUS CHRIST
inadc u(c of Leavcn'd Bread in the IniHmtion of the Holy Eucharilt ; bccaufe he inl'iruu d
it on the Thirteenth, a.nd not on the Fourteenth Day of the Moon of March before liie Feal^
of "Vnleavetied Bread ; and that the Apofllcs forbacl the making ufe of XM!etvet$ed Bfe^d,
As to the fecond Poinr, he x^ks the Latins upon what they ground the Faft on Saturday, fioce
S. Clement has iottimied he Falls 00 IVeinejdaj and Friday, bccaufe JESUS CHRIST
was betray 'd On Wednc[d,\y, and faflcn'd n^ ihe Ciofs 00 tridaj^ But that he prohibited

to the fixth Council. He likcwife found &u)t that the -did eelebrate die ivhole .

he!d by way of CommeHdtm the BinioprickoTfi^fatf*, and began to have a great f>.arc in the
Aflain; of the Church of !{mie. In the Year 10^9. under the Ponrificar of Nicholai II. he was
lent Lcgac to Mii'-ui, 10 reform the Clergy of that Church, where Simony was publickly pra-
^fttt'd. He acquitted himfelf in this Legation with a great deal of Authority and Prudence,
and rerum'd after he had cius'd an Order to be mnc^e, ro prcxTnr this and fuch like difor-
ders for the time to come. Some time after, hc rciolv d upon i^uitting his fiiihopricks, and
Ae Employments which he had at Urge in the World, and to retire into Solitude; be diere*
upon rcfign'd ihcm into the Hands of Pope A'.exander IT. and rfmrn'd brick to his own Alo-
mftery. However, this did not prevent him from having great concerns with the Popes, Bi-
Hwps «nd NoUcmea, who ask'd his Advice, and made tde of bim ia Matters of the higheft
Importance. ylUxmder II. fenr him as his Legat into Frgnce, to put an end to the Difference
il«rc on Foot between the Biftop of Mtfcon and the Abbot of Cltmy, concerning the Pri-
vileges of that Abbey.' He held a Council at CMiont, wherein hc made feveral Orders i con-
fimi d the Privileges granted by the Popes to the Abbey of Cfunjr, and made rhe PifTiop of
Ji/Ufccn to confent tliereto. He was likewife fent by the fame Pope to Fiorcnce, to pin a ttop ^

to the Schifin^which Wtt between Peter, BiAop of that City, and ois Clergy. Afterwards in
the Year c 68. he went as Legat into Germ.fny, ro hinder the Emperor Dmry from being di-

The Works of this Author, in the laft Edition, are divided into Four Tomes.
The Firft conuins tke Letters, rang'd in Eight Books, acxsiding to the Quality of the
Pcrfons ro whom tbey were wrinen; of which the Firft is cont'd of the Leciers which
axe directed to the Popes.
The Fitft is to Grttoty VL whom he congratulates upon his advanoemeiil to the Popedbm, tnmi
*•
exhorts to root out Simony, and admoniflies to depofe tbe Bilhcp of Pefare.
The &cond is direded to the fame Pope j be gives him to underftand. That the Man
wbo was eletSted Bifltop of Ffffomkreiu, was not altoj^tfaer woRhy of the Epifconacy, becaofe
of his Ambition ; but that yet he was to be preferr'd to a great flMoy 0ihet% end that in olfier
Reipeds he had the Qualifications nccefTary to a Bifliop.
The Thifd is to Clement 11. to whom be writes word, That the Emperor had ordcr'd him
CO wait upon him, to inform him of the Abofes of feveral Churches, and of what he thought
meceflary to put a ftop to them ; that being upon his Jonmey, he had receiv'd a I.,ctter from
diat Prince which was direded to him ; that being rcturn'd to his Solitude he lent it to him,
where he waits for his Orders to depart He declares on the one Hand, That be wgnld be
very wdl latisfied to be ezctts'd mm tbe Journey, that &he might not lofc. his Tmte in

Faults being punilh'd with the lame Pcfuliy as tiic more heinous ones : They puniib a Man

of his Commands. Hf* fhys, Th^t Si. Gregory nnti th^* orher Popes had no fach CuOoirf,
and that they fcldom pionounc d an AnMiema in then Decretals, except when the Faith
was in difrutc. He therefore conjures this Pope to abolilh this Cuftom, and for the f\itwe
to ftrike this Claufe out of their Ekcrctals, by alligning fooie other Penalty in its ftead. As
to the other Abufe, which fuppofes that ic is not lawful for Inferiours to accufe their Biiliops

frey Marquis of Tufcanj, had broach d this Dcxflrin, nr.d irininc.iin'd ii by faying, That in mien,
ihis Cafe, they do not buy either the Sacerdoul Office or the Church, but only tlie Teoi-
Mitllnes and the enjoyment of the Rcfcnaei. P*ttr D^mim vmjBei h appear cut tKts is a i^."/
FaOaeyi bcc^iufc fincc a Man cannot be divided into two diftiiwil Perlons, whereof one
ftill enjoy the Temporalities, and the other perform (he Spiritual FuiuSuoQjv whep he buys
die TcBifonlicief, which he caniioe enjoy till he be ndvanc'fl to the Eocldiaftical Dignity,
and perform the Funftions thereof; it may Ix' tnily faid, That he buys the EcclcliaiHcal
Dignity and the Sacrament toa This he provesi becaui'c the Prince in gr^nciag the |nve-
fKmre of « Bifliopticfc does not give a meer Rod only, but the Paftoral Hod, and the Ti-
tle of PrieRhood, the Sacrament whereof is receiv'd by the Ordination. He adds, Th^t
'tis only in purfuance of this nomination of the Prince that t^ie Man ii ordfin'iL and therf*

fbre tin he docs not dned^Iy give Mony for his Ordination, yet it icanoqr be wd to be gra-
tuitous, fince Mony made the way for him. Afterwards carrying this Thought a little far-
Uier, he fays, " When the Prince has put the Paftoral Rod iwo your H^nds, did he lay,
<* J^NV^ the Lmdt and Hevcnuet
of /ueo«rfueh m Chtircbf No. tNd he not fay to you.
I(eceiv! this Church ? If you pretend to have receiv'd the Revenues of the Church with-
'* out the Church, you are a Schilmatick,
and guilty of Sacrilege j and if you receiv d tJ^
* Chareh by tMs inveftirate, as yoa nraft needs own, then yon arc guilty of Shnony:
Laftly, He (ays, That the polTbffion of the Ecclefiaftical Revenues, and the Coiifecration are
fo dofdy conncdcd together, that he who receives the Right of poileffing the RcVcnaes of r

theChtirch, cannot ^joy them till be be coniecrated, and that he wlio is oaafeoated, ought '

ncceflarily to have rhc management of the Rc cnucs of the Church. To conclude, He con-
firms tbele Maxims by feveral Paflages taken out pf the Decretals ; ^nd fliews that it is not
only SfarHwy to bay and fell BiHioprtcks and great Benefices, but alio to buy and iell final! Be-
nefices, f:ch as Curacies and Prebcndniips. In the dofc, he exhorts the Pope to Condemn
the Error, which he had refuted in this Letter, and not to permit any Perions to be protnot-
ed to the PrfelMiood, wtto^ave ac.^uir'd it by Mony, or (which he pretends to be note blwM*
able by any Services which they h-v, c done for their Princes.
'

In the Fourteenth, he makes bis Complaints to Alexandfr IL for he ha4 abus'd and
tais'd a Diftatbance.tn the Church of £n^ul/i\ which had b«n oommitBed 'to his Care, by
the Predeceffors of that Pope, He purs liim in niir.d of the Obligations which he lay undcf
to him, which deferv'd quite another fort of ufase, and takes oottce ch»t if iatis^^dioa wetp
not done him, he would make liis joft Grief to break oat the more. Helikewifr gmraofd
him to take off rhc E::cominunica:ion whicli he had ilfu'd out againft the Arch4}UM of
venna, whom he look'd upon to be very uofi^itunate j bccauie it was an umpttpy thing
that &
great a maltinide cf Men flioald be in duiger of periihing for die fiuik of one finglc
Man.
The Fifteenth is an Anfwer to a Letter of that Pope, who comj^lain'd that he had ooc
wrote to him^ being too moch taken np widi Cmtempiation. He gives htm to underftana.
That indeed he did enjoy a little mom Rcpofc, fince he had quitted the Epifcopacy ; but
that ftiii he was taken up with a great many* Viiits, and a nuiliifiiciiy of Bufioeis, and wa^
lb highly ooncem'd at nie dtforders of the world, that he had neither Ttnse nor Coarage tp
write. This ga', c him an occinon to dcfcrilvr the corrupted Manners of his Time. After-
wards be conjures the Pope, who had taken firasi him the Earldom ot Oftidt to diich^^
hhn fikewife traiti Ins Biflio|iiridfc. LufUy, He cduns tum rp ufe his ntqooft codeairaaif to

having wrote to rhe Arch-bifhop ofCohgnr, by fending to them the Copy of his l etter, there-
by to Icc them know that they had no reaion to be o^G^oded at it. He excus'd iMmfelf like- s

wife firm taking a Journey to J(pmr, m i^dcfa dwy had fimnooVl hh« j but does not
to go to M.t/7/«-T, bccaufe he thought that Jonmey would turn to greater Account.
The Three next Letters are among his C^psj/Sni&i ; the two firft ate the Three and four and
twentieth of thefe Ofufcula^ and the Jai is the Life of St. ^iidulfljus.
The Twentieth is direifted to CaJalous Bilhop of Parma, the Anripope, whom he cxtreamly
ujibraided, for having caus'd bimfelf to be elexSled Biihop of itgme ; or at ieaft, for having
ue i uiltMd It;
'

He made
it appear that his Elednn it Adnlteraie, Sdiififiacical, Heretical ana

Vicious, Bccaufe he had l->een eledcd, whilft the Holy See was fill'd with a Lawful
(i.)
Pope. (1.) had not been elcdcd by the Cardinals, who Jiavc the greateil

of kome would not acknowledge him. Afterwacds he ihic^ him with the Judgments of
Gbd, and widb a fpcedy Corredion.
This Letter made no Imprefllon on Cadjhut j on the contrary, that Bilhop came to Jjjflwe
with an Army, and became Mafter of it by Force. Upoo this Peter Damicn wrote him a

In rhe Second he tJunks a Bifhon for tbe Alms u hich he had beftow'd on his Momfkciy,
and cthorts him to add tbe other virrucs ro his Liberality. Laftly, he inrrears him to con-
fer die Order of Deacon on Two Cierks, which be lent iiim, and who had obtain'd a DiC"
jenfarion from their Bithop for it.
The Third among the Opufcula, and is compris'd in the Eiphtepnth.
In tbe Founh to the Bifbop of O/tm, he makes ufc of tbe great number of Dead Pet(bns

In Renin, as a Modfe to petfwade dMc ftlbop not to put off liti Coo-
veriion.
In the Fifth he gives os a v ely and frighitui Dclcription of the iaft Judgment, to pct-
i

• fiirade him to whom he wfoie to lead a Uf^ Deooming a Chriftian.

In the SiT-h he cxhorrt anorh r Bifhop ro a Contempt of this World.
In the Seventh he advito tiic Bill.np ro whom he wrote, to receive no Prefens ; and upon
that Account be relates a Vifion that h^J happen'd to a Prieft, whq had feen the Confeflbr
of Coanr HilJebrHnJ pQni(h*d in rhe other World, for having receiv'd Prefenrs from him ;
And that Count himfirlf in Torments tor nor having Repented of bis Cruelties, fo as he

be might be throughly from his Tarmenrs, and that he MndetAooJ (bat Count
deliver'd
W3? fii'<dcnlv rxpcdcd in that very Place, u licre fevcral Tormems were preparing for him.
Afrcr the Relation of this Vifion, Peter Damien fays, That it was not reqoifice to receive
Prefenrs iodiflerently from all forts of Ferfotis ; bat only frouftcfa as neie «pc%lealing ttt
Cod, IvTivff the Gifts of the Wicked arc dangerons.
In the Eighth he exhorts the Bifhop of Enfubio to redeem the Revemies and the Orna-
ments of his Chniches wrfiich were given or Mortgag'd to Laicks. He likewife gives bin

and againii the Liberty which at that time was granted to tbe fiifhops and other Eccle-
iaftkks, of mainuining their Rights and Propenies with « Sword in their Hand. He
makes it appear that Wsr and Revenge is downright contrary to the Genius and Spirit of
the true Cburch, which breaths forth nothing bat Feace, and is for PardontM aO Mankind,
that nothing than them can be more dilTonanttothe Life which JESUS CHRIST him.

He adts him wbedier he bad forgot tbac PopeKffv a Council heU vcFlmmew, had pro^
hibiTcd it under the Pain of Excommunicat'on ? Whether he did not know that the Re-
venues of the Church were appropnatcd to the Maintenance of the Poor, and to the Relief
of Widows and Orphans 9 This gave him an occafion of treating concerning the Original
of Church Revenues ; upon whxh he obfenes that in the Primitive Church the Faithful
brotttbt the Price of their I ar.ds, ami laid them at the Apof^les Feet, that fo they might
diftnboie them to the Poor : And rhat afierwatds it was thou|^ more proper to fmle
Eftatcs on Churches, not only for the mainrcn«ice of the Clergy, bur 1 ike wife lor the Relief
of the Poor. That therefore thofe who rob the Church of the Revenues which beloia to
it; were guilty of a World of Homicides in depriving die Poor of their neoeflary Siib-
fitknce. He adds, Tliat as Sinners by giving their F/^ntes to the Church, obtain'd by this
mean* an Abfolution of their Sins : So tfaoie on the contrary who take them do bind and
engage dwn^elm to fidRv that Feananoe from which die odios are esenpssd by tbdr

His Letter falling into the Hands of (bme fecular Pcrfons, and of fume Monks of a iclii

former Ages, and which feem'd to overthrow the Order of the Canons and the ancict.r
Cuitom. Pettr Damien in this Letter, undertakes to ma ntain it. Firft, frOm the Examp.e
of our Saviour, of the Apoftles and M.-iirys who have been Scourg'd for the liakc of
JESUS CHRIST : From whence he infers. That God may very well be pleas'd with
rhe voluntary Offering to him fuch a Pennance as he caus'd his Servants to endure againfl:
their WilL As to what might be objected, that indeed we do Read, that the Saints were .

.Scourged by others, but that we never hod they did it themfelves: He replys. That as wc
ought voluntarily to imitate the iMortification of the Ci-ols, fo likcwife one may imit.ate
the other Sufferings of JESUS CHRISTj and that as no body can blame him who
of his own accord FaOs at other times than thofe cnjoyn'd by the Church : So one ought
not to imagine, that he wlio Chaflifes himfelf with his own Hand, docs a Deed Icfs accepta-
ble to G d Tliat on the contrary, he undergoes a real Pennance, by mortifying his Flelh,

Canona ; whether the Reverend Bede did ill in enjoyning (everal Penitents to wear Iron
Girdles ? Whether the Holy Fathers did ill in putting fuch Anfterities and Pennances into
Prat^bicc, of which no mention is made in the Canons ? He adds, That fincc the Laicks
might redeem themfelves from a long Pennance by beftowing a certain Sum to Charitable
Ules, tho' no mention be made of inefe Redemptions in the Canons s the Monks who may
have def^rv'd a long Pennance, and cantioi make compcnfacion for it l^y. their Alms» ought
not to be hindred from doing it by this Monification of their Ficfh.
The Ninth is among the OpufiuU, of ^ich it makes the Twenty fixtb.
In the Tenth he excufcs himfclf to the Clergy and Laity of Fajence, for his not being
able to come to them after the Death of their Bilhop, and he advifes them to pnc off tbe

The Eleventh is referra to the Forty firft of the ofufcula. ,

In the Twelfth he asks the Advice of the Treaiurer of the Church of ^tvenn», whether
he ought to remain in that City, or return to his Solitude. He relates the Rcafons that might
be alledg'd on both fides: On the one fide, he might be fcrviceablc to the faving of Souls
ac R^veniiA, but there he was had in Contempt : On the other Ude, he was had in eHeem
in his own Monaitery, but be was afraid this eftcem would pulf him up with Pride. He
refers himfelf wholly to the connfel of him to «vfaom be wrotCp what he ought to do in die
Cafe.
The Thirteenth is direded ro the Chaplains of Duke Godfrey who charg'd him with
Avarice. The occalibn of which Charge was this ; one of the Chaplains had a difference
with him about a Piece of Gold which the Dutcbefs had prcfentcd at the Olfertng of the
Mafs, which Peter Damien Celebrated : The Monk who had rcceiv'd it, left it upon the
Altar, together with another Piece of Gold prcfen c.l by a Marchionefs. One of thcfc
Chaplains took away one of the Pieces which the Dutcheis bad order'd to be given him

EledHon was carried, on without his Authority, nominated Cjdnlous Bi(hop of Parma to the

ons to be debated in a Count il, between the Advocate of the Church of I{rme^ and the Em-
pefor's Attorny General. The latter maintains. That the Eletftion of a Pope cannot be du-
ly manag'd without the Prince's Confcnr, ami tliat the)' had app.ircnt!y done him an injury
in ordaining Alexander wicliout his Knowledge. On the other <idc, the Advocate ot die
C7huich of /^inr aflerts, that the Right of chooling a Pope, or of confirming his EIe^ion»
does nrit belong to lii's Imperial MajeiVy ; fincc not only the Pagan Emperors, but alfo aM
the Chriltian Princes to the Jail Greek, Emperors, never laid claim to that Right, nor had any

The Pifih Offu/culum or fmall Trad, is a Relation dircdcd co lJUdtbrand the Arch-Deacon»
of what bcfcl Beter Damien, during his Journey to Mikn, where he was fent in quality of
l egate of the Ho!y See, to fupprefsthe Diforders commtt cd by the unchafte and hmoniacal
Clergy of that Churdi. Tis related by him, that upon his arrival at Milan, be had no
fooner given notice of the purport of his CcminMon, bat the Clergy under colour rhatthetr
Church ought not to be govern'd by the Laws, nor to ftthmit to 'hr Yoke of I{ me, rais'd t
Sedition. 1 hat the People ran in Crowds to the Epiicopai Palace, threaming to caufe him
to bcputro Death : And that afterwards appearing between the Arcb-bifhop of Milfli, and *

yf»»/e/»i Bifliop of J ucca, he al!ay'J their fury by a Didourfc, which he produces.

In that
Speech Peter Dd//.icti remonftraics to thmi, that he w.is nor come to enhance the Grandeut
and Authority of the Holy See ; but to promote their Salvation : That that Church derives
its Dignity an Prima y from the Inftitution ot JESUS
i CH RIST, and that no attempt
can be made on us Rights without violating the Faith : That St.Ni\ariui, Sr.Gerva/e aatd
St. Protafim, the firlt Planters of the Church of Milan, receiv'd their MifSon from
the
Apoftlcs Sr. Prtcr and St. Paul : That St. Ambrcft had tccourfe to Pope Sirtciui, to put a
flop to the irregularities of fome of bis Clergy-men, and that he declar d, that he was ready
in all Pbims to obey the Church of i{ome as his Patronefs. The CatdinaJ of OftU laving
by this mean* pi. ii- ,! the People, call'd .m AffciiiMy of the Clergy, and .iftcr having made
• enquiry into tiic in.inncr of their Ordination, Icarce found one Man, among fo great a
nutn*
ber, who was admitted into Orders withont didwrfing Monf, becanle every one upon that '

OCcafion, was ohlij^'d :o pay a cer tain fet rate.

This general Diibrder extremely perplexed Peter Damien, in regard that it would be un-
iuft TO panilh fome, and to pardon others, who were no lefs culpable. Therefore he took a
Refolution, to pnnr .in Amnefiy for pafs'd Tt.v nfiors, .ind to make a Ginftirntion to pre-
vent fuch Enormities for the future. It was »]rawii up in the Name of Cuj Arch«bifl]Op
of
Milan, who dcclar'd. That he condcmn d the Cuftom or rather Abufe, which piwail'd la'
his Diocefs, and that he oMig'd himfelf and his Succeffors to exad nothing for Ordinations:
That he likcwifc condemn 'd the Marriage of Priefls, Deacons and Sub-deacons, and that
he promis'd to ufe his utmoft endeavours, to hinder them from iceeping Wives Of C6ncii'-
bines: That he further engag'd both for himfelf and his Officen:, not to take .my thing, for
the Bcnedidion of Abbics and Cbappels ; for the InvdUture and Collation of ficneiicesi fof-
the Ordination of Pilhops ; for die Adminiitrarion of the Holy Chtifin, oribrthe Coniecrt*
tlonof Churches. This Decree wa-; flpncd by the Arch bill-.op nf Af/Ain, and by the princi-
j)al Clergy, who took an Oath to obiet ve it, and did Penance for their pals'd Offences :
Tiie
brmcr impos'd on himfelf a Penance of a hundred Years, and nominated how much he de-
termin'd ro pivc for the Red?mpt"on of it. The other Clergy-men were in like m vi ;i
cnjoin'd Failing, which nc vcrtlulL'is tlicy might redeem by reciting the Pfatter^ or by giving
Alms. Furthermore the Arch biil.op made aYiOW to go in pilgrimage to tlie Sepulchre
Sr. Jr,mes in Gjllicia, and to Cood his Clerks to ^mnw orTuirs, or to fome ocber Place farify
W
frequented by Pilgrims.

by realbn that 'tis not :hc Bidiop, who is on?y the Miriitter, but God, rh.it Confcv n-cs ;

That the fame thing oaay be iaid of Ordination, as of BapciAn, That it ouebt not lo

beconferr'd In the Catholick Church, and tliar both i;c who confer-, them, and he who takes

the vertuous Clefkby a worthy Mtnifter: That there are throe principal Sacrametns in the
Church, vi^. Baptifm, the Eucharift and Orders Th it ,St. Aii'^ujlin proves as ro the Firft,

and Pafcbafins with rcfpcdt to (he Second, that choTe Sacramenu are not made more or le&
efficacious by worthy or tinworthy Mtnifters ; and alifao* the QodHon wai never as yetftat-
ed ill reference to Ordinations; nev,Tth:.Iefs the Cafc ought to be argu'd after the fame
manner, according to Sr. Avgufiini Principles, on which Pfffr Damicn enlarges in this fiook,
and adds many Examples to (hew, that Onlinaebns conferred by unworthy Minifters are
valid, and that thole Fcrfons who were once ndmittcd in:o Orders, onght not to be re-
ordain'd, which he applies in ttarticuUr to Stmontlis, ^d conuncnds the Condud of Pope
Leo IX. who only impofes a Fenance Jtf forty Daie« ort thofe that were ordain'd by Priefts
guilty of Simony, but did nor lay ovu ar.y JVlony.jpt n that jc> ounr. Helikcwifc commendt
the Emperor Henrj, for op{)o{ing*that Irregularity, aod-conckdes witha Dedamation agaHlft
•
Simoniits.
The fevenlh Treatife, cail'd rhr Gomorrhe.m is dedicated to Pope Len TX. who approvM
of it in a Letter, which is prchx'd at the beginning. In this Tra(^, Peter Damie» proves,
that Clergy-men who hire committed Sins df Uncleannefs, which Modefty docs not per-
mit to be named, ought to be dcpriv'd of the Fundicns of their Order for ever: He re-
}t£ts the Canons of the Femicniial Books, which indole too light Penances for thofe fort^ cf
Crimes, of which be fHem the Eaoraiity : He inveighs againit dwlc Perfons who are guihy
of fucb notorious Oflenoe«, and cxhom cbcn lo « Speedy Repaituoe, nod id do fevoe
Penance.
The eighth Trad dedicated to Bifliop of Ce/eme and «o the Ardmlencon of Havenna,
*
fdatet to the Degrees of Confanguinity in which it is forbidden to contraift IWarriage^ He
confure? the Opinion of the Lawyers who rdlrain'd them to the Fourth, and imagtn'd that
Grand-Nephews and Grand Nieces might inter-naarry. He reckons qpthe Degrees by Gcr
ncrationi, and maintains, That as far as any Confanguinity or Affinity can be difcem'd. Ma-
trimony ought not to be contratfled, which takes place at leaft to the feventh Degree. He
uSitts in this Treatife, that in computing the Degrees, of Confanguinity, the number of Per-
Ibns ought alwaics to exceed that of the Generations by one ; Co that there are bat five Ge>-
ncrations, where these are Cut Perfons : Bat be retradla this Opinion in a OnBenatioQ made
by him on purpofe to be annex'd to the (ame Treatife.
In the Nmth, he treats at large of Alms giving, and fliews th« tTieAibeis of ir, both fiw
the Living and the Dead, in this World and in the fiiture State.
The Tenth, is about the Dij^ine Service, in which he gives an account of the number of *
the Canonical Hours ; of the Prayers which make the Office, and of the diifirrence between
the ORicc of Clergy-men and that of the Monks : He fhews how beneficial 'tis to rrciie it,
and even rceotnmcnds it to Laicks, as well as the ftnall Office of the Virgin Marj. in this
Tradl he likewife difcourfcs of the fcven Mortal Sins, amongft Wfaicb he does not recfcoa
Gluttony, but diftinguifliei vain Glory fppm Pride.
In the Eleventh he ftates this Q^ielt ion, vi:(. Whether thofe who recite their Office aione
in private ought to fay, Dominw veti/eim, ^lAe Deumut &c. He concludes in the AArnw.
tive, becaufo, fince the Church is one in mnny ; if n^ay be fiid, t'lat divers Pcrfotis arr

comprehended in one lingle Membe r of it, and by rcafon of that lenity, one lingle Perfon
may fpcak for all, and as if he join'd in Prayer with many: Thar onefingle Petlbn often
fpeaks in the name of many, and many in that of a finglc Perfon That if ir were rcquititc
:

to retrench thefe Prayers, bccaufe they kem to Iiippoic the prcfcncc of many Pcrfona
j
o cr parts ofthe Divine Office, which areof the fame nature, ought likewife to beomttted :
I

That the Sacrifice of the Mar<: is offcr'd up for all the Faithful, tho in a fpecial manner by rhe
Prieft, in regard tiiar he holds in his Hands, every I hing that the Faithfol oflcr in their
Mind : That altho' only one Hngle Perfon aiUlh at the celebration of Mafs ; yet he does not
*
forbear to fay Djwiwuj fj/'//t"wm, and not Doviinuf trn/m- That the Church has no regard to
Numbers, Cafes or Terms, but adheres only to rhac which rends to Editicauon : That that
which one omits, may be fupply d by another ; and lalt;> thatrhcfc Words may be refinrt^d
,

as well to the Abfent as to the Prcfent. He conclude^ w h a Commendation of the folirnr y

life, in favour of the Hermit, to whom he wrote, and leaves the KeTolucion of this Qgc-

, Peter Damien mninrains tK- contrary •

Opinion, and eftabliftes it on the Tenour of the Canons, which abfduiely

forbids all chofb
who have voluntarily embrac'd the Monailick Life, and even Children, whom tbeirPbivna
baveet^agd in tbit Station, to quit their ProfdTion. He (ays, that the comp'eat Proba-
tionfpccified in Sx.Benedifls Rde, does not prove that ihofewho get

In the Nineteenth, he refigns his Bifhoprick ani two Abbies into die
Hands of Pope Ni-
foUs, and to induce i>fm to appcovB of d«t Refignation, he Kpfefeus tl» Examples •
of di-
vers Prelates, who have in like manner quitted their Biftopricks, and gives
an Account of
certain Apparitions of Biftiops or other Perlons, condemned to endure the
Tonnencs of Hell
9K cifwg^wy, for negleaing to perform their Duty. Indeed one cannot but admire at
the great number of Examples of thrirnnture produced hy him ; hut if any be defirous
to
be informed of the particulars, they need only penile this Treatife i in which the Author
for his own part, ailed ges, as a motive to his Refignation, that atd«rime of his
promotion
to the Epifcopal Dirriity, he w::<; net worthy of it ; and th.it his life and Converfation
were culp.ibic, whicli indue d him to believe, that it was much fafer to depofe himfelf than
to have a Sentence of Depofition pafled upon him at the Day of Judgment, accompanied with
•Verlafting D.-mnption.
The next Trad dedicated to the fame Pope Ntcohs i is written oo the fame Sobjetft
and full of Examples of the like Nature : He enlarges farther on tic Reafons that oblie'd
llim to quit his Bidnprirk. and more parricuhrly on this vi:^. that he was 10 longer
in«
condition to cake cnrc cf the two Bilhopricks, which the Holy See thoaglit fit to mlT^^^^^^ (q-

In the Twenty firft, he commends an Abbot, for refigning his OfHce, to be difcharrftf

The Twenty third, is dedicated to Pope Alexander II. upon his return from the Council
of Mantua, and contains an AnlWer to a Queftion which he had fbrmerly propos'd to Pcttr
Damien, viz. Upon what account it happens that ihc l ives of the Pnpc<; arc pcncrslly fo

The Twenty feventh is direded to the Canons of the Ctnfrch of Pom, who were at va-
riance one with another, by reafon that Ton-.c of them were dcfiroas to live feparaicly, and
the others in common. Peter D4iRie» takes pan with the latter, and maintains, that the Can-
ons ought to live in Common, and to have no private Property, fbllowtng the Examples of
the ApolHcs and of the Chriftians of the primitive Church.
The Twenty eighcb is compos'd in favour of tiic Monks, againft ti\e Secular Clerks and
Canons. The latter indfted, that the N^inks ought not to adminifter the Encharift or other
Sacraments. Peter Damien maintains (m the contrary, that the Monks ought not to be ex-
cluded from thofe Fundltons ; and to prove bis AHertion, brines feveral Escamples of Mmki^
who being made fiiffiops or Priefts, Mve aAually adminlfter'd them. He extols the Mona-
ftick Order, deriving its original from the Prophets and Apoftles; and in the dole, cites a
Decretal made by Pope Bmifitct IV. in which Monks are authorized to admiaiftei the Sa-
crament of Penance. ,

The Twenty ninth It direded to a cenatn Abbot, whom he icproves for wearing tM
fumptuous Apparel.
The Thirtieth is written to the Inhabitants of Florence, and more cfpccially to the Monks
of that City, who rcfus'd to communicate with their Bifliop, and to receive the Sacraments
from his Hands, bccaufc they fufpetllcd him to be guilty of Simony. Peter D imh-n makes
it appear, that although rhe Information they brought againft him wore tr.te, } ct they ought

not to withdraw themfelvcs from his Communion, till he were legally convi«flcd, nor to r^
iufe to receive the Sacraments adminifter'd by him ; by reafon that unworthy AiiniAccs are
capable of adtniniftring them as well as the worthy.
In rhe Thirty firft, ie exhorts the Cardinals to oppofe the Covetoufnefs and Conaipifcente
of the Clergy, which was the fource of the grcaieft part of the Diibrders and Calamioes

The Thirty third, is a letter directed to the Abbot of Mount Caffm, who had threaten'd
that if he did not come to him, he fliould no longer partake of rhe Benefit of the Prayers
put up in his Monaftery. Peter Damien cxcufes himlcif, upon account that he was (cnfible
th.it the time of his Diflblution drew near, and that he was afraid of going in quciV after a
MonafVery, left he (hould die withoat the precin^J^s of a Monaftery. He entreats that

and Catnniries. The Countries fay the Batfaarums; the Churches were Pil-
lag'd and fee on Fire ; the Monaflerics were ruin'd; the City of Canterbury ynxt Burnt; and
Alfbtgus the Arch-biihop was cariVd away f rifoner with the Clergy of that Province. Tbefe
Calamities were foHow d fay theDififenfions and Civil wars, betwven King BJvrarJ the Sou

which were not conformable to his Inclination, and that were not before concerted with him:
L>aftly, he forbid that any of his Barons, Lords. Minifters of State, or Officers (hould be ex-
communicated without his Order. In the filth Year of his Reign, Lanfranc, Abbot of
St. Stefben at Caen, was ordain'd Arch-bilhop of Canterbury, and went a little while af:cr to Lanfranc

tbe Council of ^ow<r, A. D. 1099, in which Laicks who took upon them to give Invefti-
turcs, and thofcr Clergy-mcn who rcceiv'd them from their Hands, were- cxcominiinkated,
he took leave of tlic Pope, nnd rctii'd to Lycns i where within a litdc while afcer, he was
jnform'd of the IXarli of Vrb^u l\. and afterward of thic of 9f7//iam II. King 1^ Buglmtdt
which happen d in the Month of Ju^n/} A. D. 11 00.
Hemy h his Succcfibr immediately retall'd St. Anfelm to Bug/and^ where he was no footiet
tttiT'd, but lie had new contcfts v irh that Prince about ilic Ini-eftitares and the Oaths of
Allcccance and Snprcmaq', which he refu'-'J ro rrke. Forafmiich as this Affair was regu-
lated at Hfme, it was rcquUite that the King /IjouJd make application to that Court, to cn-
deaiNMr to caufc the Kefotution vdrich had been taken there, ro be chang'd ; However,
Sr. Anfefm rcfus'd to ordain the Bifhops, who had recciv'd Invdtiture from the King, and no-
thing could be obtain d from i{ome. Afterward this Arch-bifhop being perlwadcd by tbe
Kmg to take a Journey to l^me to find out feme Expedients for the adjuftmg of that AAir.
went thither accompnny'd wirh an Ambaflador : Upon their Arrival the Marrer wa'> debated

fujferhim to reuin it. However, at laft it was agreed upon, That tbe King of BngUnd
ihould enjoy certain Privileges which were in his poEeflion, but that he fliotild lay no manner
of claim loilic Invcftiturcs: Therefore the Excommunicarion which he xvas fiippos'd to have
incarr'd, by granting the Invcftiture of Benefices, was taken off j but it was ordain'd, That
thole Ferfixn who had reoeiv*d them from his Hands, flioold remain cxcotnmtmicated fat
fomc rime, and that the pivjng them Abfolution for that Offence fhould be referv'd to Si. Alt-
ftim. The Aftiiir being thus determin'd, the Ambaflador and St Anfelm fct forward in thetc
Journey, bot whenthey were arriT*d nearLrmi, ilie Ambaffador declar'd to him in his lifa-
l^rr*'; ra-ne, th;\r \v3< forbidden to reram to England, unlef? he would promife him to
fubmit totheCuftom which prevail d in that Kingdom> without having any regard to what
bad been ordain'd to the contrary by the Pope. St. Anfelm refbfing to enter into ibch an
Engagcmcnr, (by'd fome time at J.yunt, and having pafs'd from thence inro Kormsndy, at
Jalt came (o .in Accommodation widi the King of England, on condition that the Churches
which King H illiam II. bad firfl made fnbjedt to the Payment of a certain Tax, (hould be .

cxcinpicd from ir, and that his iMajeRy fhould rcfiorc wh.-5t he had txadlcd of the Clergy,
and every thing that was taken from the Church of Canterbury, daring the exile of the Arch-
biihop. After this Agreement, wbicli was concluded, A. D. 1106. between the King and the
Arch-birt:op ar Bee Abl>ey, St. Anfelm rctum'd to EnglsrJ, was re-eft;il)Iifhi'd in his Arch-

having pcnis'd this Treatife, coald not approve the Argument which St. Anfelm makes ufe

To thcfc Works is to be added a Treatife of I\- :cc and Concord, which is infened in the

The third Part comprehends St. Aafelm's Letters diiiributed into four Books, in the Firft
of which are oontain'd thofe that he wrote whilft he was a fimple Monk, which Sfe 77 fn

ie6 Letters which never were as yet Printed. There are aJfo Nine others in the Sapple>
ment taken out of Tome IX. of the Sptcilegium by Father I.uke Dachery. We fliall
not here produce the Exirat^is of all tbele letters, it being fufficient to bint, That they
are eidicr fucb as rebte to Cbmidtnients or particnlar Aliidrs, or to Morality and

ricror Conrad, ro If^illiam Duke of Cuiemie, and to Vo\icjoln, who is br.mded therein, as a
onitifli. cholcrick and cruel Man. In this Letter, he relates in.iny rcmark-blc Paliagcs that
happen'd during the Conteft about the Apoflolical Dignity of S:. Mirtial fiifhop of LitmgeM^
chiefly in refrrencc to Bemditl ,Prior of the Abbey of Sr. Mich.iel at Clufc in Piemone, who
a little while after the Seilion of that Council, being arri\'d at a certain Place call'd La Bu-

be fo, were Afles and ignorant Dorers.
This being reported in the Monailery of St. Cibar, by two Monks of that Convent, who
we re then prcfent at La BuJ]iere, made fo peat an impreifion on the Minds of the FricTSy
that except Aimar zndGukert, cmbracd BcneiiH'% Opinion ; which gave OCCa^OO to
all,

this Letter, in which Aim.jr treats Bcnah'H very rudely, who ncverthelcfs, (even according to
jlimars Rejort) was a judicious and learned Pcrfon, but extremely Pairionate, if wc may give
Credit in that refpeA to Aimar, in iiis own Caufe : For it appears. That the Prior invcigh'd
ngainft him moft bitterly at La Bujfiere ; accufing him as the Author of th.^t Innovation,
which he alfo rcvm'd Herefie, and affirming that 'twas dcvis'd by him through Flattery, on
purpofe to gr.nifie the Abbot and Monks of LimegtSt who had corrupted him with Mony.

Thefe Works are full of Mora! and Aicctiek
Precepts ; but there are alio cenaui Maxims of the Hefycbajls or Quictifls : So that perhaps
it may not be amifs, here to (hew after iriuit manner he lays down tfaofe Principles of
Quietifm, in his third Difcourfc- of Prater.
" In the ftril place (fays he) three Things arc to be Pradi^d, in order to arrain to what
defile, vi:^. the Contempt of all Rational and Irratior.al Creatures, Mortification,
•*
and a pure Confcience, free from all manner of Pallions and p.irticuiar Inierefts. After-
" wards fit:ing alone in 1 ranquility in a Corner of your Cell, do whaci am now about to tell
ym: Keeping your Door fliut, lift up your Mind above all Vanities; that is to fay,
" above all temporary* and tranlitory Things, and Liowing your Head to your Bcl!y, hold
*'
your Breath ; feek your Hearr in Mind : At firlt you'll find thick Darkncfs, biit by con-
" tinuinij this praihcc D
'.y .and Night, you will difisover Wonders and ir.cct with cndtels
Confoiaiion For wlicn the Mind has once found our Jhe place of the Soul, it clearly per-
:

** ceives tilings whicii it never comprehended l>eforc it difcerns A:r round al>out the Heart,
;

" and becomes altogether Luminous and full of Wifdom: And when a Man is arriv'd to
*'
that height of PcrfecT^ion, if any evil Thought inrervenci, It is expell'd and immcJ'itcly
*'
dif-appears, before it can make any Imprdllon ; fo that the Mind being exafpemtcd drives
** away
the Devil: Yon may leaoi the reft with God, by preferviog Jefus Chrift in yoar
Heart.
This is :he Model of Quietifm fram'd by ta-.: Monk, who talks of not! :nc for rlic niofl
parr in hisSyftemof Divine Love, bur Divine Illuminarions and Lights, Divmc T Trvor s hfTcn-

fomc Days in the latter. News was brought him, that certain Pcrfons were atiiv'd
refiding
from It.uy, who introduc'd a new forr of Hercfy, which ruin d the Gofpcl Ordinances, and
rhe Difcipiine of the Church ; and that thefc Mifcrcants making profcirion of pcrfedl
R!<;htLOulae&, gave it out, That tbatalone was fuflkient for the Juitificationof a Perfoi» and
that there was no other Sacrament in rhe Church for the arraimng of Salvation.
Upon this Report, Gerard caus'd a Uriel: fearch to be made after thofe, who were fufpe^Sed
to be mainuiners of this Hercfy ; infomuch, th.^.t they were appicliesided by the Gover-
nor's Ordi r, and even brought before the fiilhop, who being taken up at that in(t.^nt with
other Aifa rs, after he had examin'd them for fomc time coocemiog their Dodrin, and oer-
ceiv'd them to be in an Error, caus'd them to be conBn'd durii^ nme ,Di^ and order d a
Faft to be kept the next Day, by the Clerks and Monks who were there prefcnt, tha' Al-
mighty God might be implor'd to give Grace to thofc Mifcreancs to ackjiowUdpe iheir Er-
ror*. On the third Day, being Sufidtj, he Iield a Synod compos'd of the Abbots, Atch-
deacons Monks and other Clergy, and caus d the Prifonei-s to be broucht fotth in the pre-'
fence of the People : Then, after having made a Speech to the Afletnbly, he demanded of
ttie Prifoncrs, what their Do<ftrin was, and who were their Teachers : They reply'd. That
they were the Difciples of an ItalUn nam'd Gandulpbus, who had inftrudled them in the
Commandments of the Gofpcl, and of the Apoftlcs ; that they recciv'd no other Scripture, •

but that they obfer\"d that very ftri<ftly. The Bilhop having heard itreponcd, That they
abhorr'd Baptifm ; that they rcje<f^ed the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of JESUS
CHR 1ST ; that they gave it out, that Pcnnancc was altogether uiiprofiuble ; that ibcy
defpis'd the Churches ; that they condemn 'd lawfiil Marriages ; that they did not acknow-
ledge any Eminency in the ConfeflTors ; and that they affirm "d. That rone ought to be ho-
nour'd except the Apoftlef and Martyrs; he thought fit to interrogate clem, .ind to give
them Inilrudliooj about thofe Points. As to the firft, they own'd, " Th.ic tlieir Mailer

" they renounced the Vanities of the World ; that they did not iolJow their PaHion<; ; that

the Bifliopof Limoges fliould place a regular Abbot therein, before the Fe.iival of Chrijlmai.
This gaveoccalion to rreatofcfac Monaitick Regularity in ;he Council : The B O.op of Limo-

onJy ctimplam'd of one Abbot, who had futier'd a certain Viccunr, t- c orjiMur.ica cd by die

Then the Prelates of the Council proceeded to find oat Means to oblige rhe grcj: Lords and

had a Privilege granted them to have a Chaplain and three Deacons aifjtting at their Celcbra*
t!on of Mafs, on the folemn Feltivals: The Canons againft incontinent Clergy-men nnd Simo-
niacal Pradices were reviv'd ; and the time of Onlination was fix'd on the four Ewber-
"Wecks. Upon a Remonftrance, that divers Perfons excommunicated by their Bidiops for
notorious Crimes, went to f(fme and receiv'd Abfoiation fioin the Pope; the Bilhop o( Puy
en Veiny reported, that ibroe Years ago, the Coont of Cfenumt being excommunicate lI by
the Bifliop, for leaving his lawful Wife to Marry another, made a Journey to the Court of
I(pme, where he obrain'd Abfolution of the Pop^« who had no notice of tiic Sentence of
j^ccommnnicatton pafs'd againft hun : That the Bifliop having made a Complaint, the Pope
lentrn'd for Anfwcr, That he ought to blame himfelf for what had happen'd, by rcafon that
he never gave him any InfonnaLim that the Count was excommunicated ; the Pope added,
That if be bad known it, he woald have confiim'd the Bifliop s Sentence, becaufe he makes
Prefeflion to aflift his Brethren in every thing, and not to oppofe them j that he (hould be
very forty, to hear of any Schilin or Mif-uoderttandiqg between him and them ; and that
therefore he abrogated and nttde void the Vennance and Absolution, which he had granted
to that cxcommanicarcd Pcrfon, by whom he was furpriz'd, and who ought to expeifb notliii^
but a Curie, till he has made Satisfadion and has been ducly abToiv'd by his Diocefan.
This Narrative makes it appear. That chefe fims of Abfotations were often furrcptitioully
got of the Popes, as it may oc further evinc'd from another Paflage of tlie like nature, which
happen'd at ^ingeuU/mei where a certain excommonicated Perfon, who could not obtain
Abfolution, by reafon that be was tmwilling to make Satisfidton, prefoiied to his Bilhop a
Letter from the Pope, in which he intrearcd him to admit the faid Pcrfon to the Pennance
which he bad enjoyn'd: The Bifliop, without being furpnz'd. reply 'd, That be did not be-
fieve that^t Oraer came from the Pdpe, and rhae it flioald not be (erficeable to the Of-
fender, who fhould remain under thr SLTr. rLi: Excommunication, till he had accepted of
•fid done the Pennance, that fliould be imposd on ium by himielf or by his Arch-dcicon by
bis Order. Upon thefe conliderations, die Bifliopsananiroouily dedar'ci, Tliat the Pope had
indeed a Right to confii-m. augment or diminifh rhe Pennance cnjoyr
'
a:i
3 Orfl-ndcr by his
Diocefan, or even to impofe it on thole, whom the Bifliops fliould nominate for dtat pur-
Dofe ; but that he bad no Fower either to impofe Venoanee or to grmt Abfolution, in re.
foeA of an excommunicsn d Pcrfon, without confulting the Diocefan. And that it wa*; his
Office, rather to confirm tiian to dil'annul the Sentences of the other Bifliops ; in regard that
if the Members ought to follow their Head, the Head alfo ought to take cane not to oppreA
the Members: The Ads of this Council are very large, and contain a great number of
Matters of Fact, Autliorities and Arguments, relating to the Affair .of St. MartiaJf which are
of no very great ACoiAeiK.

to take care that the Zeal they have for the Welfare of the Church does not prove prejudicial

Fjafigni-of their Dignity, even before they were Confecrated. Ivo of Chartres takes notice that rhc

^o^j-gf the Ecclefiaftical Power. 'Tii thus that Pajchal exclain d himfelf in the Conference which he held

look'd upon Invcftitures as an Hi rL-fy worfc than Simony. The Princes on. their Cdc urgM lo iiopur-
pofc, that they did noc pretend by this Ceremony to bdtow any Spiritual Power: That thetr Inten>-*

long'd to the Church by the Grants of Princes. But the Enemies to this Riphr ro render it t!- ircrc
odious would periwade us that .this Ceremony had another meaning.' The Accommodarion which
was ftt on foot between Pope Pafihal U. fnd the Empert>r Hewy V. entirely remov*d theDHEcuitr:
For it rook away from the Bi/bo|» all the Fiefs and other T^poraliries which tliey pofleft'd by the
Donation ot the Emperois fince CharUmapnr^ which were the only Ones for which tiie IVinccs couJbl
juftly demand the Right of Invcftirores; bur it divefted the Churches of great, real and iolid Goods,
'
for a chimerical, fanciful Independancc: The Biftops likewifc did not relifh this Accommcdauon,
and fo it came to nothing. The forc'd Conccflion of InvefHturcs made by Pope Pafchal was rcfcn-
tcd by fome as an Herely, and confider'd by others as a Dangerotis Rela^ ion. There were fome
who would have it fats for a occcflary Tokracion, and oibos for a tfalDg naibnaUe and

and Cijleduxy which ought to live in good Intelligence with each other ,fb conriinially jar itid difnerec;
and he makes it plainly appear, that they have no rcafonable Caufc to be fo divided : For m
the firft •
jd^ce, if Iheir Dtffcrenoe be 'about Lands or other temporal Goods, thev have proper Judges Who taif
regulate tbofe Matters , and make Peace between . them. Secoodm cbnr ought not to difagree

that bci h Orders may obferve their Cuftoms feparatcly, and with fimplicitv of Heart, without condcnul
ning each other in thcm.Thlrdly,bc afinns that the different Colours of Haoits ooeht to be a left fubfedll
of Divificr-, fincc nothing is more ridiculous than for Men to fall out on fuch trifling Accofkits. And -
lafHy, he lays the blame on the Spirit of Pride, which (he fays) had divided the Monks of C/uttf and
aft faux J the former being unwilling that the latter fhoult^bc preferr'd to tbcm, and the btter GkMT-
ing that they had been rcftorcrs of the Order, and of Monaftick DifcipliDe. He concludes

SK Ber- lie employs in (eatdi after Trtnb, and more particularly relaring to the Duties of his ProfefCon. In

deciding other Mens Differences, ttdall the while ncgleci to employ himfeif ftinaimes in Con-
* '
templation. He exclaims againit the great number of Caufts that are brought into the Ecclefiaftical
Couns, as Iikcwife againft the many Abufcs comnniticd thcrt. He flicws that this is more confiftent
with the Secular Power than the Ecclefiaftical. Ffc fays be would not hvtn Bapnim follow the Exam'
nles of his PMdeceilbrs, who applyed tbemfelves more to Buibefs than Contemplation, but due Im
fliottid initate St. Gregay^ who when /(mir was threacocd to be beiteg'd by the Bar^griant, l^boai'd on
an Expojfition of the molV difficult paflage of the Prophet E:^elii'el. He there proves that Confideratioiv
ierves to form and employ the four Cardinal Virtues. Laftly, he cakes Notice of the unbecoouag
Biclceringt ac the Ecdefiaftical Bar, and eihofu Pope Eugenim to endeavonr after a Aegnlaiion.
In the fccond Book, after having juftify'd himfclffor advillng the cxpeditionof the Croifsde, which
had been unfuccci^ful ; he admoniihes Pope Euieaiuj to coofider as to his Pcrfon» who he is, and as
to the Dignity of his ProfefTion, whatbeis. Rrft he it 10 rcfled whence he is defended, wfaicll'
may ferve to abate his Pride. He gives him to underftand, that he is not fee over others, to domineer
oVer them, but to be their Minifter and watch over them ; that if this L)ignicy has procur'd him great
t Riches, be is not to think they belong to him by the right of ApaflleOup, fincc Sc. Peter had no powec
to difpofe of what he never enjoyed : That he indeed had given him the charge of all Churches, but
not an arbitrary Dominion over them, which he cxprclly forbid^ and the Golpel difallows. That the
lame Pcrfon cannot well execute the Civil Government and tfa«nfitcy, and therefoie he who grafps
at both, onghcjuftly to lofc both. In a word, he advifes him particatarly to avoid being hangbxy on

afterwards lays down the ObligaQoos for £ill>ops to prove an Honour to their Miniflry by their Vic-

About the fame 9me St. Bernard being at Pari, writ a Difcourfe to the Ck r^ny of that City, Inrim-

tion to Rcpenunce and' cbaoge of Life, and rawaidt -ibe End, he fpeaks agalnft Ambitiqus and incoa*
cjncnt Clerks.
.The Treatife of Cemmands and Difpenfatians was compos'd by St. Beru.v'd, .ibcut the Ye.ir 113/. to
ferve for Anfwcr to the Monks of St. Peter of Chartret, who had confulted him upur. this Subje^fl, and
which is addrefs'd to /(o^er Abbot of St. Colomte, neatSem,»nd n<ft to tbefe Monks of Chartret. LccauA
ilicy had written to him with the leave of their Abbot. The firft qucftion be treats of, is whether al|
thofe things which are contained in the Order are Obligatory to them who profefs them, or whether
Miey are only MooicocTiand Inftro&ive,. And afiaui,ifoi^ part ought to bo taken for Precepts, and the
Otfier for Cottnfd. Me! aniwers, that die Otoer dF Sc. Semut is propos'd to all Mankind, but not
fcr'd to be forc'd upon any Body. That any Pcrfbn is free to be admitted of it, but when one is
once enea^'d in iiL it becomes neceflary fo to continue i fo that excepting a few particulars which re*
fatl^to SpniniaJ Mutem, fiich asCbarity, Hmnility^ &e. veloArw inftitated only by God, anit
therefore not to be chang'd, all the other Rules of the Order arc only Inftruilions and good Counfei
to them who are not yet profefs'd, but to fuch as are, they become Commands, and it is Criminal t»
violare them ; that cney'aie voluntary to the firft, and compullbry to ilie laft; yet however they may
be difpcns'd with upon an extraordinary occafion : That this power of difpcnfing belongs only to Su-
^riours, and who cannot do it upon juft Grounds, and not meerly out of Fancy. I0 explain
tmnoft extent of thcfe Difpcnfations. St. Bernard reckons up three ibrts of neccllary things whlcb
#e qpe eftabliHi'd, two Inviolable«and three Immutable.Tbe cftablifli'd arc thofe which ^Jwnii to be
fo very neceflary, that every Body Is not allow'd to alter them but Superiours only : Tlielf are Mor
nafiick Rules, which having been ir.Aituccd by Saints, are as it were cftablilh'd, and cannotbc chang'4
bv private Perfons» but as thofe who eitablilb'd them were Men, tbqfe Men alfo who a Canonical
Eleaiott bave foooeeddd to theft Saints, have aodiority to give Difpenfarbnt *widiom ^a(e .and DtA'

^not be alter'd, even by Superionrs ; but if it at any time happens that they become contraiy to the
iht^eft of Charity,' 'ui the Obfcrvation and J«c?gmcnt of thofe that are oblig'd to in'pcil them, tlwn ifc
h bilt realbnable thite what was at firft infticuted for. tlie /beivefit of Charity, ff ould be either oniic^

eftablifli'ii, aic fixt .ind immoveable,even in regard to Supcriours,but ihcnjl inuft be as long as they are

Serviceable and Aflifting to Charity. The fccond fort of ncceffiuy things'^ call'd Inviolable, for thai
iiot having txcn inftitutcd by Men, but eftablidi'd by the Commandmenis of God, ihcy ^cannot ba

HOC to be tixmgbt that the Obkrving of MonalUdk Rules is Lnfoflibic, becaufc that caoAot be but either
dio' Negleift or Inadvertency. _

St. BernarJ procc-c K afa, v. irds to Anrwcr foine Paniculir? which thcfc Monks had propos'd to hiin.
The Firtt was why an Erroneous Conicicnce docs not fomcames change the Bad to Good in like
iDaimer as die Good wBod.' HeAnfwers that to the End that an A(5lion may be good, it ought to be
'Efi'ei^ed by the Knowledge and Love of God : Tha: he that dc,c% a good A^ftion believing it to be bad,
has not the Love of Good in him, and by confcquence his Adion muli be bad, but that he that doef
abadA«ftion believing it to be Good, ignorant of wliat is Good, and therefore his Atflion cannot
be eflecm'd Good the* his bucntion was Co T!-nr hi"; good \'vill fiiall not be altogt".I;cr depriv'd of a
:

Reward,' aitho' thro" a dcceiv'd lnuplivity l>c be not aitogeiher exempted from 111. But what (Per-
liap* yott may fay) didix>i he Atft according to htsCoolcieoce? Yes, (rcplys St. Benunrd) butMoocd^
IDg to a falfe and erroneous Confcicnce which does not exempt him abfolutcly fro:n fin.

Next he Anfwers this Second Qucftion, which was If in relation to Commands Difolxdicncc be
f>roponionably as Criminal as Obedience is Merinirioiu? He flKW»i!uciii oehain cafes Obedience ii
more Mcritonoas than Difobedience CrimiaaL
They had likewift dciMiided of him how far they wwe ObWg'd to be refidenr, and where they might
take a Liberty to quit their MoiiaHcry. He Anf-^vcis ihac a good Monk ought n.-ver to forlakehis Mo-
naftery without leave iirlt Obuia'd lru.n his Abbot when he is able to Undergo the Injuot^onsof hisOr->
6a i but if the ill Lives of chofe which he livesamongft, hinder him from fodoing, iJicnisbe to chufc and
go to another MonaR cry where he may accomplilTi thofe Vows, he cnttid not fowcil perform there That :

altho' it be not allowable for a Monk who is in a well regulated Monaftery tho* ids Auiiere, to leave
Icwichoac permitfion of bb Superiour for one moreAuftere; yet if it happen that one bayiqg left it
enters into another, none ought to Advife him to icxurn, unlets -the Mooaftenes be near to cȣ odier^
and he be fpecdily rccaifd.
The Fouith Queftion they ptopos'd cobtdf wiS Why Si.Qr^y the Great lecelir'd a Perfim .^tat farf
gained his Order, into the Conimunion, and did not rather Oblige hiir. to return to a Monaftick Life,
and why St. Auflin Teaches dut a Marriage conii aClcd by lutii a:» had made a Vow of Cohtineoce is
not to be Didblv'd. St. Bernard owns freely that he is not of thdc holy Biibopt Opinita: Attdtbtt it
"
bdong'd to them to make good what they had Allerted.
He moreover Aniwers a rifth C^ucftion Concerning the Bilhons which Sr. Gregory bad Cloyftcr'd up iri
Monaflcrics by reafbn of the Crimes they had con.nutted, the Quclt'.on w..s A^Tiether rhey were to C0a>'
dnue their Bpifcopal Habit t!;crc or to wear that of the Monks. He fays He knows little of the mat-
ter but that it is Iflcely they ought not to take upon them the Habits of the Order becaufc they had
never before done it, and bccaul'e they v/ere to con:;rir.c in thofe Monaiii rics bur for a turu^^ andiiitf
iljey were coofin'd to thefc Places only that they might have more leifurc to Kcpeoc
The Siytb Queftibn which he Anfwers, is why of all the kinds of Repentance that among Monks has
die Privilege ofbcing rcrm'd a Sctor.d Raptlfni ? He fays he believes it is by reafon that they iia\ e abfo-
lutely rcnounc'd the World and PraCliie a fpintual Lite after a very excellent and extraordinary Manner
That they ate anewr doath'd with fefiu Chtifi, and teuce from the darkncf^ of fin int&the tight Of Piety
and Virtue. ' •
The Seventh Queltion they Ask'd i>t. Bert^rJ, is If when an Abbot dies or is Ekrpos'd, they have^
during the Luerval a Liberry to go out of their Monafteries to go to another St.Bemgrd Aniweis
Aey have not, bccaufe the Vuw Jicy made is not to be limited by the death ofih? .Uibot, but only
Authonz'd by lus'Prefence, aiui that therefore a Monk ought to confidcr his Vow b\ the liiutisof hiy
•wn Li^ Md not by that of Morber.

which it cooperates in confcnting voluntarily to its Motions; that this Conlent is eflfeded by Grace

l/r of both Happinrfs and l^i'fry, nnd'ttt by its Cm/ent and ApfnhatiotL, that Men are either fVtckfi
«r Good, Happy or Miferable. Hc afterwards divides Frecdnminto dwer forts, t. Freedom or Exemp-
tion from Sin. 2. Freedom or Exemption fromMifery. 3. Freedom or Exemption from Necefllty. He
calls the lalt Frecdo vi c' ,,r of X.uurc, the lecnr/.i, rh.iroi (Jrr.ce, and the (irft, tlic Freedom of Life of •

in all nttooa) Creatures in whatever Condition they be ; in Angels as well as jyicn, in the filefled as
'well as riie Damn'd, in the Righteous as well as the Wicked. They that would do well and cannot,
are free from this Freedom, bur they arc not ncvr- !. "r[s free from rhc freedom of Sin, which otigtit
rather to be call'd Free Advice than Frce-Will. 1 h-s lecond Freedom is found only in fuch as have
Grace, as the Freedom of Mifery, which he calls Liherum Compladtttm, is to be met with ajooe a-
mo':p rhr BLTcd, bccaufe iholc only can enjoy rhe Good that plcafcs them, and be crcmpr from the
HI (I1.U tiiiplcales them, they being onlj* endued with Grace that can do Good, Grace being ablolutdv
lequiHte to do it; fo the Will of Free- Will to be abfolutely perftd', has need of two Gifts of Goo^
of Converiion to Good and Confirmation in it, the firft is granted through Grace to the Juft: in this
Lite, and the fecond is the efic(5l of Beatitude. The firft Man over and above the Freedoofi tif Na-
ture, had likewife tlic Freedom ofCounlcland the Freedotn of Compliance, bur ncvcrthclcfs in aft
impeifed: Degree; ior thefe two Freedoms have both their D^^ces, one being fupctiour, and the
-ther trderioiir. The (irft Man in the ftate of Inrtoccnce had this taft, but loft it by his fiill, infemnbft
that he afterwards^ rcr a inM only Free Will. Hc fell by his Crime, nnd the ill ufe he made of hi-; ^V:t|,
boc ibm he oanld not raife h'im(i:lf again by the fanK Power, bv reafon that he might not have fell un-
>ld«lNrhadlb^MS*d, Imt being once folten, it was notallow'd hunto life. What then fays one, H
Iklan's Free- Will loft bccaufe he cflnnot avoid Sirning ? No, anfwers he, but rather the Free Warning 4
be had not to Sin. He (ays moreover, that 'tis by reafon of this treble Liberty of the firft Man,.th4C
he was created after rhe Image, and in the refcmblancc of his Maker ; that the Blelled \AVK difi re^
f.-ublan«c^in the greareft pcrtc('>Trn^ heeaufc they enjoy thts*treblc Freedom, after n more excellent
niaxiner than the hrlt Man, and that thole rcdecm'd by JefusChrilt, during their itay on £anh,through
IGrace receive a part of this Freedom, becaufeihac though they cannot be aUogetberfre^ from Sin and .

Mifery, ypt with the afliftancc of Grac*, they may be able try prevent being Over-coinc by Sin^ ahd
Milerj'. Let no body think then, fays he, that Free Will is lo call d btciufc it keeps as it were, the
.Wdl in Kilancc betwixt CJood and Kvii, in a mnnner that it can do one as cafily as the otlier,fbr if thij
wiene fo, neither God, the Angels oor Saints, who can do no Hi, conld be exempted from d<Ni% ic lid
more thin the very Devils, wmy'can do no Godd. )t is rather call'd Free-Will, betattfe let-tfae w9|
be ;in jr. either to Good or III, it U tHil Free, it bcir^g in the power of no Perfbn to be either Good
1

or Bad, withofit the conlent of his Will: Now

Grace does not take away this Freedom, bccaufd
•it lets dw Will at work,* and changes the Bvfl (t> Good ; bnt neverthetels, by its frte Cbnftnt t' 8tf
thofe who suSt throhgh fear of Death or Ponifhmcnr, do not fail to with Freedom, bccSnfe ihi
Will cannot be conftrain'd but by its fclf, and that cannot be forced by a violence purciv palfiveoii itS
«wn part. That in a vvord,exceppne original Sin i^nly, all others areanefR^ of the Will v^hich in-
"clincs to Sin without beinp cblip'd by any e-xrcrioin Force: That we cnnnor prccnd to any thing

coAfiils in the confent that Free- Will gives to Grate, but at the fame time this Confent does not pwM
ceed from Free- Will, becaufe that cannot have a good Thought of it felf, and that God is the occafiJ
on of all Good in us, whether it be the pnxlii<lt of Thought, It or AAion, for hc does as it were W

) That as to what Admittance of Novices, ihcf therein
related lo the Pcttr /A?
follow'd the Rule of yefm Cfjrifty who order'd cbe Rich Man in the Gofpel who defir'd to be perfed, VauitbU
immediately to loll all he had, to give it to the Poor and to follow him; and who -Order'd the mati AhbM of
that was willing to go bury his Father bclbrc he would follow him, to leave the Dead to bury the Dead, Cluoy
and to follow him without any more ado. And that they therein imiened rhe Exan'.pie of the ApoRIcs
who foUow'd Je/iis Clsrijl as foon as ever he call'd them, and who recciv'd into the Chrifiinn Church
all tbofewho offer 'd thcmfclvcs. He owns that the Letter of the Rule is againft this Cuftom ; 'but
wtthall avcrrs that the End "and Intention of the Rule being Charity and the Salvation of our Neigh-
boor, which are in force lo kmg as aoy one prai^f^ the Rule even in the StjnSt and Literal .Scptc, one
may with reafbn deviate from tm Letter of the Rule. He adds thar finee x\» DilHpline of the Church
has been altt r'd with rcrpCLl: to a prenr many po'n:<;, 'tis no futli e:crmoiiiinary matrcr tlj:i: the Mon»»
ftical Diicipltne Ihouid be fubjcd to the latne Alterations. (^.) 'I bat 6t. Uettedid in his Rule had pre-
,
Mh'd nodnng dtredly eoneermng Habits : That he had no where proMlitied the Wearing of Leather j
"
that he only order'd that they fhould be different according to the Variety of Climats: That a l ea-
them Habit was moft fuitable to Aulterity and Solitude. That the Prophets, Etiuj, Si. John Baptifl^
4nd the Ancict\t Hermits werec.'oath'd with Leathern Garments That wc find in llory tbu&. Berto
:

diB himfelf wore fuch an H.ibit That 1 dtly it mu'.t be left to the dacvctiun of the Abbot to prefcribc
:

the Quality of Habits, according to the Climate, the Scalon, and the Cuuititution ol iliole who wear
them. ( 3.) That they wear Bretvhes for Decency andModefty's Sake. (4.^ That theRukTcavc*
the Abbot rail power ro prelcribe what lore of Covering the Monks flunild have on their fieds. (5.)
Thlt with refp«ft to Eating, we ought not Scrupuloully to adhere ro the exprefs Terms of the I^ole,
-
fince St. Bewfrf/r? gives the Abbot lilxrty to Augment the portion of Bread and Wine, t:! \ t vc •

work'd more than ordinary : And that 'us well laid of him, that 'tis Enough to allow ihftj|||ks two
dSihcs of Meat upon the il&oiwc of their InJinnities, that fo if they have noSbomach to the ^^^^m^ n-iay
eat of the other; but thar if it fliould fo happtn that they could not eat of either of thcfe two dillies, -

he has no where prohibited the allowing them a third or fourth Di(h : Laftly th.u we ought to prop( irii(in
cbe Quality and the Quantity both of Meat and Drink to the Conftirution and fttength (jf men, and
n>fefer all to Charity, which is that Sovcraign Rule, by which we ought to be rul'd and govcrn'd.
(6.) That in receiving the Religious as often as they were wiliuig to return, they did nothing but what
Was agreable to the Evangelical Law,and to the Pradiceof the Church: That what St. Bevediti fays on
this vahytA in the Rule was only by way of Comminarion. (7.) That as to the Fads they obicrv'd
what was pteichb'd by the Rule, from the f^th of September to the Beginning of Leht^ they did
DOt cat on any day f except Sundays) till None: but that from fVuit/ontide to the ijih o( Seftemkr
thqr did always eat at Noon, tho' the K,ale feems to prefcribe that on Wcdoelilays and Fridayuhe^
Ihonid not eat till the Hour of Nfnr, becaol^ it leaves the Abboc at bis Liberty to augment or dimv>
ailb the Faft. (8. ) Thct they had particular Rcafons for not woricing wuh their hr.nJ>, llnte iiich a
labour was injoyn'd the Moqks only to keep them from beiiig Idlc^ and that they being engag d in
Other more nfenif Employments, were difpens d from that. ( 9. ) That it was a ibrt of ChiMilfanefs to
condemn the' Order of C/z/d^, bcc.iufe the Religious and the Abbot of that houle did not prollrate
them felves before all the ftrangers that came to them, nor wafh their Feet j and belides that this Em-
ployment would wholly diverc riie Monks from all their other Duties by reafon of the great Numbof
of the ftrangers : That however to avoid the total negleCt of what the Rule prefcrib'd each Mork every
year wdlics the Feet of three ftrangers, and prefents them with Bread and Wine. ( 10.^ That the Ab-
bot was difcharg'd from the Care of keeping an Inventory of the Tools and Utcnlils of tlic Monaftery,
provided another man did it, fince it is impoOible for him to do all things himfclf. (11.) That they
do not omit thofe GenufleBims vthich they are requir'd to make during the Office, the' they fey^t abroad,
unlefs when the badnefs of the Weather binders thciti, and that then rhey fiy n Mifcrce. ( 12.) That

the Abbot ocders an allowance of meat and Drink to be given to ail ftrangers, but that it was dot pro-
per to inrrodace all manner of perlbns wlAoot dtftim^ion into the MffeHety ; nor that he (honid leave
the Relijuou-; ro wait upon Others. (13.) That the Young 14onks do ask bleffing viv.i voce of the
Elder, when they meet tbem out of the Bounds of their Monaftery ; but that within tholi: Bounds they
only ask it by a low Bow without faying any thing, that they might preferve their Silence. ( 14.^ -

That if they do not place at their Gate an Elderly Monk, yet they fct one there of known and approv'^
fidelity andWifdom; that the Monaftery-Gatcs arc almoft alwaysopen in the day time, and that 'tis
fufficient that they have one to open them when tbey are (hut. ( i j.) That 'tis ootat allnecerfary that the
Porter (hould cr)' Deo-Grattas to all Conncrs. (16.) Tba| there was 00 inoonVeniency for the Monks
vrhen they change tlicir Monaftery to renew their Vows, and that the Rule it fcif in cxprcfs rcrms per-
Mxiits the Renewing of the Vow of Conftancy. f 1 7.) That they are fatisficd that a Monk cannot leave
his Mooafteiy without the leave of his Abbot^ fo .long as that Abbot diichargcs the Duty of a Patori
chat is fi> long as he takes care to provide for the Bodily neceffities of his Rcligioos: But tim if it
(houid fo happen that a Mork cannot I ive or be fafe under an Abbot in one .Monaltcry, he m.iy
leave that Monaftery without the Licence of bis Abbot: 'i hat 'tis upon this account that the Abbot of
CAm/ itts djratn'd a Frii^legc from the Holy See, of entei^aining all the Religions who are forc'd ro
leave their Monaftery for either of thete rcafons. (iS) Thar they have for their Bill.op the Chief of

ftdvtfed him to l^iVcr it patiently, and the rather, bccaule this Violence
would be more prejudi-

Lcgat who did all this npainft his Wil!, would quickly fct him ar liberty. Upon this Prenuie he
came into the Coi tin!, ca It his Book into the Fire with his own HjhJ, and there recited St.
/ithin.'.ftui'^ Creed as a Declaration of his Faith. Afterwards he was Ihut up in the Abby of St. Mo
dard ot Soigons. The Monks of tliat Monaftery treated him :very dvifly, and did what they
could to comfort hnn, but he was a prcar dca! more conccrn'J at the Affront which had been
then offer'd him, than at that Misfortune which happened lo bun lonrerly. However the Le^

This Propolition did fo far inccnic ihc Abbot and the reft oi tlie Religious agamft him, n;ai he
not thinking hin>!elf fecure in that Abby, nude his cfcape by Ni|^, and retired into the Terri-
tories ofTi !l utj, Count of C/ fw^ and dwelt in Provence in an Hofpitai belonging to the
Monks oi r'9CJ, ;iic Prior whci^«.j was one of bis Friends. His Abbot would fain have had
him out again, but dy'd within .t ll.orr time after. Abaelatd with much ado, cbtain d leave by
the Intereft of fomc great Lords to live in what place of Solitude he wciUd, ^ovided be would
i;o: enter into any other Monaftery. After he had obratn'd this leave, he retir'd to a SoUtdde
near Tro/f/, where he built a Chappel in*a Field, which was given hinuby r«,ii-.c private Pcrfons
of the place, by conlcnt of the Biltop of Trnet. He was no fooncr Ictded there, but he swas ioU
low'd by a great number of Scholars, who buUc little Cells round about bis Do^, fi>
would have thought th.it they u'Lic rather Herinirs th.in Scholars. They fiirnifhed him with all
^ oos

chat he had occalion for, either for his Nburilhn^enc or Rcfrelhn.em, and buik him a Church
which was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. AbaeUrd gave it the l ule of Parackte^ ia< metni^
ry of the Confolation w4iich» be had received in chat plncc. His Advcrfatics found fault at that
Appcilaiion, pretcndaig that one could not dedicate a Church to ttv^ Holy Gboit alone. Uooa
this Al'oelard obfervts, that the name of Paraclete might be very well applyed to all die three Per*
fonsof rhc Trinity ; and that if it were only the Peculiar Title of the Holy Cf o T:, yet one mipbt
Without any fcruple dedicate a Temple to the Holy Gholt, though it ni gin i^dt be lo (ar o;na-

band's Commands, that (he had cmbrac d the Monafticlc Life j that flic could not exp«5 any Re-
paid from the Lord for ir, for whoTc Snke the had not done it : That /he had follow'd, or rather
preceedcd lier Husband, and that one of thofc things which troubled her moft was, that he had
mgag'd her to dedicate her felf to God, befiire he IttdrefolT'd vpon it himfcif, as if be had fomc
diUrult of her Fidelity. She aflures him, that even at prefcnt, (he had him ftill in her Mind,
aoA lov'd him ftill. She intrcats him to confider what a piecfc of Ingratitude it would be in him
to refufe to vifit her, and comfort her with his Lctters,fince that would be a means of her ferviog
God with the Jefs EktF9(!9Md. And lalily, that fince he had formerly wric fo many Love Letters
to exdie a difhonoorable riUSda in her, ic wis very realbnable that be fliould write fotne to her

AbtuUlrd retum'd an Aofwer, Thatic was not out of Negligence that be had deferr'd writing Abaelard i
to her, bntbeeanfe be had ib much Confidence in ber Piety and Learning, as to ibh* that flie ^IjU**

the Points wherein fte dcfir'd his Initiud on, and :hat he would fatisfie her therein. He thanks
iier fifr being fo kind asto parrici; ate in Lis Atrucnons, and recocnpicnds himfelftoher Prayen,
and the Prayers of her Fraternity, p'rcjm his he takes an occafion to fhcw how grateful the Pray-
ers of Holy Virgins are to God. In particiil.ir he takes notice to her of a Form of Prayers which
he defired,that they would fay for him at the Clofe of the Canonical Hours : and tells her, that
after his Death, be would have his Boih be brcughc to their Mooaftery CO bcihott. inierr'd^tba(

This Letter very fcnfibly afleded Ueleijfa^ becaufc Abariird therein foeaks of his Death, as \( Amihtt
mr at Hand. She had fo much AllieCtion for hun, that, die could not bear tbisthoi^i, without lOttr 4 ,

hoBg very orach diftnibed at ir. She declares tbofe thoughts to bnn tn a verv parhetlcal manner Hdoik
in the Letter, which Hie fent back to him, wherein fi.c could nor forbear reflecting upon the Mif-
factune which had happened to AbteUud thioxigh .her mear.s. She defir'd that (be might undcrep
a Penance woicby of her Faair,' and owns that (be is ftill lb weak, as ooi; lo cffiwe out of her Me-
mory the remembrance of paft Plcafurcs, but that they continually prefcnt themfclves ro her Mind,
which gives her great cauTc of Humiliation, and of rcjcifiii^g the Praif^s which he had bcftowed
bpon ber.
AbaeUrd endeavoured to comforr her by cxcufTng himfcif of the Reproaches which flie had caft Abaelardi
upon him in that Letter, which he reduced to four Heads. The iirit was about the Complaint
which Ibe made of his having nam'd hrrficft in the lofenpiion of this letter. The Second alwut
the Reproach which Ihe had calt upon him, of having increafcd her Grief, rather than afforded
her any Confolaiion. The Third about the Refled^ions which ftie had made upon their paft Mis-
dbrtunes. And the laft about her rcfv(lal of the Praifcs which be had given her. As to the firft
Head, be Huisfyed her byjaybtt, that iince flie was become the Spoufe of J^us Cbrifl, flie was
acooidti% to St. 7rrgm*s Fhiwe ms Miftre^ and that u^n that accotint, be had reafon to name
her firft. From rhcncc he took .in occaHon to give her fomc Inltrucflions about the Virtues re- •
quifice ibr the Spoufe of Jrfiu Chrifi. Upon the Second Head, he fays th^ hehad not mentioo'd
flby doM of Us DtMAk, or the Danger whereb he wa<in hii Letter,if flie hid net conjur'd him to
do it. Upon the third Head, he approves of her rejecting all Praifes, provided it were fincere,
and if Ihe aid not contemn them out of a principle of Pride. As to the Fourth iiea4« he in^cats
ber to make no farther Complaints of a Misfortune which he really deferv'd, at doe tt> his Smi^
wheneof be was throughly fcnfible. He advifcs her rather to give God Thanks for the favour ,

fiebadibewnto both of them, by bringing them out of a diforderly Courfc of Life, to lead a
flWMeH»il^ one. He look'd upon that Pain which had been inflided on him as very light, id
QaBMnfon of the Crimes which he had committed, and thought himfelf very happy in being de^
Mffcrxl fix)m that which had been the caufe of his Sin. He concludes widi a Prayer which the-
Reli^ous of the Nunnery of Barnckte ought to fay for him and Hetoijfa.

The Second is a Memoir of AbaelarJ^ diretfled to Adamt Abbot of Sc. Denjt, and to the Monks
of chat Momdtery, and to prove agabft the TelHinony of BrA^ chat i>enys the AteofMgitt was
not Bifl-.op of Carinth^ but Bifhop of ^ithrts.
In the Ihird dirc^cd to a Regular Canon, whodcfpis'd the Monks and excdll'd the Regular
Clerks, and maintained that the Monaftical Order was inferiour to the Clerical ; AbaeUrd takes '

the Mi.inls* pnr', and maintains that the Monsflical Order was r;ot in the Icart intcr;our to tVinr of
the Rcgulai Citions, whcditr one regard the Figure which tbey make among Iv!en, cr that whicii
Religion gives them in the light of God. The Reafons which he alledges for this were, that .
we
'
ice every day Clerks who cmbrac'd the Aiooafticai Life, and that amr ihcy had done fo, were
not permitted to re^^nter into the Clerical Order. That the Mbnkt who were made choice of to
execute :hc Clerical FuhlI iot s, never quit their Habit : That they often made choice of Monks
to auke them Biibop^ whereas they never chofc Clerks to prdtde over Monalterics: That in the
IJtinies and Prayers of theChvrcfa, the fufTrages of the Monks were imfjdr'd * That the Monks
ate advanc'd ro Holy Orders, and even to Pricflhood it fclf: That Sr. Jerom prefers the Monalfi-
* cal State to that of Clerks, as being mta-e perfe(Ji ; That St. Baptifi quitted the Pridthood
to lead a folitary Life : Tluu the Monks are in lefs danger of their Salvation, than the Claks who
are oblip"d rO corjvcrfc lb much with the World : That the M^^nk^ cpihrace the Contemplative
Life which our Saviour preferr'd before the A(%ve Life : That the Regular Canoqf whole inititu-
tion was but new, imitate the Monks in living in Common in Cloyften; ThatlaAty, the Life of
Monks is more painful and more Auftere than that of the Clerks.
I'he fourth 1 etteris againft thofe who cotxJemn the ufe of Logick. AbaeUtrd compares them ro
the Fox in the F.ibic, who flighted the Fruit at which he could not get. He fays, tnai thofe Do-
^on do in the l^me manner de(nfe Loffickj becaofe they hare not a Genius to comprehend it.
Hermdccs it appear, that the Holy Fathers, and pamothn^y St. Augufiine have commended
this Art, and thought itr<pccfrary for the right Explication of the Holy Jjcnpturcs. He owns that
one ought to avoid the love of Difpuiing, and the deiire of deceiving others by Sophliins^ but he
would nave Men have an inlight tx>tb intQ Lo^ick and SophiAry, to difixm Mod AinniencMi-

The Fifth is writ to St. Bernard, about the Intelligeucc which Abaelard had received fion Ih*
Ietff.7 Abbefs of ParMlete, that that Saint coming to that Monaftery, hnd ob(es>?ed them ro repeat
the Lcrd'i-Prajtr quite diflcrent frdtn what was done in other Churches, and looked upon it as a
Novelty, which be though Abael*rd had introduc'd. All the diflerence confifted in that they ^id

1-e.iliiy the ieiii IS liiith.ng clic but the Materia], iluis oi thus cn|;ravxii, though the Figure is not

the Material, nor the Material the Figure.

After this he d;itinguill:es between the procc^on of the Holy Gliofl:, and (he Generation of the
Woixi, in that the Ltvot being Wifdom, partakes of the power of rhe Father, and may therefore
1 be faid to be ot the fubftancc of the Fadici ; wiietca; tiie Hn!) Cl.ult Lcine Jci;o:eJ by the
Name of Love or Cbaritv, which is tu>c a Power, is not of the fubltancc ut the Father. He icn-
mxliately correAs thft Notion of Arianifm, which thofe Words fecm to imply, by faying
il.it the M(i!y Ghoil is of the fiiblLfncc ufthe Fatlwr, in else Seme th.u he fo proceeds from him,

OS to have the fame hibllancc with him ; but that though he be Confubltantial to rhe Father, yet
properly fpeaking, he is not bcgoncn of bi$ fubftance. ("This is a bard and improper Exprcjfion,
coiitr.ny :o the u tier of the Father's fpe-ikinc, and conformable *o that of tie Aii.in^, though
,/i.if;<ir</ rejects ilieir Error.) He fays that ihc Holy Ghoft proceeds from the F.itlKT aad the Son,

bcc.iufc l-ovc, or rather the etle i t-f I ovc pruLceds from Power WMdom, fincc the ReaionoT
God's doing (m uc', is became I;c Ii.is Power to et) ir, r.ri' V.'iuiom :o know thni i' is fj(;oi1.
This gives him an <Kcalion oi refuting the Opinion of tlsc Greeks conetiuujg ihc rrccelTion of
the Holy Gboft from the Son alone, and of Ihewtng that one might add fomething to the Creed,
provided it were not contrary to the Faith. He CKplains the Coettmity of three Divine PeriicKis,by
the Inftancc of the Light and Rays which proceed trom the Sun, and which estift the feme momcnc
with the Sun.Laftly, he pretends that the Hcithen I'hilofophers h,i\e ackm wkug U :l,c Trinity.
In the Third JBook he treats partictikrly of the Power of God, aod tnawtains that God cannoc
do any thing but what he does oo, and cannot do all that he does nor do, becaufe God can only
do what !'c Wills j but be cannot Will to do .niy thing but wliat he does do, becaufe it is ncceflary
lor bim that he Ihould Will whatever is convenient i from whence it follows, that whatever he
docs not do is- nor convenient ; that he cannot Will to do ir, and confequenity cannot do it. He
bimfeJf ownsthat this ifliis own particular Notion,that frarcc any Body clle is of this Opinion, that
it fecms contrai^ to the Do^nnc of the Saints and to Reaion, and to derogate from the greatncfs
of God. Hereupon he ftarts a very difficult Objedion. " A Reprobate (lays he) may be lav'd j
'*
for he knows !io Pemgbut what God does fave, wherefore GcJ may fave him, c\-d eonfequcnt-
*'
ly do ioiiiething winch is not neceflary to be done. To ihii he replys, that one might very well
allert that fuch a Man in.i\ be fav'd by the Relation to the poflibility of Human Nature, which is
cip.-.ble of Salvation ; but that it could not be affirm 'd that uod could fave him, if we have refpe<2 to
Godhimielf, becaufe 'tis impofllble that God (houid do any thing, but what he ought to do. I ic ex-
Elainsthis by fe\eral Examples: A Man who fpeaksmay hold his Tongue, but that 'tis iirpofliblc
it one who fpeaks to be at the /aooe time iiient. A Mao's Voice may be heard, bet oiie who is
Deaf cannoc hear ir. A Field may be Ctdtivated and 7i!rd,ibough a Kfan may nor cultivate it,^r.
From the Power of Cod he proceeds to his Immutability j he fays that Goid does not change
himlclf when he produces new etieCts, becaufe in him there are not fuch new Motions and new hi-
dinaiions as are m us, but only new effcQs proceeding from an Eceinal Will ; that he cannoc
change Places, fince he is Omni-prefent, and rnat when 'tis fhid that he JefcencIeJ into the Virgin's

the Divine Subftancc is united to the Humane Nature without a chniige of its Nature; and ihac
the Perfon of Jcfus Chrlfl is a Con-poiind ;f r[iL Divine Logos, the Soul, .md of theFlefli; That
thofe three Natures arc united ui iueli a iii.iiiiict as that they retain each their own Nature; and
that as the Soul is not chang'd into Flefh, fo the Divine Nature is not chang'd, though it be pfP-
fonally united to the Soul and the Flclh. Laftly, he treats of the Divine Knowledge .ind Wifclom.
He fays that God has foiefccn and pre-ordained all things' ; and fo with refpcA to Cod rothvng
happens by chance, though his preicicnce dots not dclboy Frec-Will. He defines it to be a free
Detemiination of the Will, and aifcrKi that it has been fretjuenily ei^erienc*d, that the Will is hoc
conftrain'd by any Violence, and that it has a power of doing or nor doing a thing. He tASavts
that this kind of Freedom in the Will docs i.ot relate to Cod, but only to Men, who may alter
their Wilij and do or not do a thing. He produces the Opinion of Come who believ'd thai this
Freedom confilb in a Power of doing both Good^and Evil ; but he itiaintiuns that thole who aie
fo happy as to have no power of Sinning, are r»cverthclels Free, and are fo the more becaufe of their
beatg delivered fro* the fervitude of Sin. From hence he concludes, that generally and properly
fpeaking Free- Will is when one may voluntarily and without conftraint accomplift that which tt
hasielblVed upon ; a Libcuy which is in Cod as wdl as in Men, and in all who arc nn, iclltjce
of the Faculty of Willing. He adds fevcral Philolophical Kicctits about ilie Prciejence a-.u Dtter-
minarion of Propofitions concerning futoie Conrin';encies.
The Explications of the Lord's-Prayer, and of the Creedsof the ApoiUes^ and of Sc. Aibdiufi*
contain nothing in them which it very remarkable. . .

In particular, he finds fault with thole £xpreflions of" Ahielntd concerning the Holy Ghoft, t»/*.
That he is not of the fame fubftance wtrh tfie Father, as the Son is. He is aftonifli'a to find him

denying that be proceeds frotn the fubltance of cite Father and the Son. He maintains that ib^

jfhuUrdwakts ofe of, becaufe be therein givCs to Faith the name of Eftimadonj which is of loo
loofc a Significnrion.
He omits fpeaking to fcveral othtr Propofitions of Ah/ieiardi that JeUis Chrift had not the Spi-
rit of Fear: That the fear of God will not fubfift in the other Life: Th.'U the Accidents of the
Bread and Wine after the Conrecr.ition arc in the Air Thar the Demons do not rcrrpr Akii, but
r

only by the Virtue of lomc Stones, aiid of leiii.e ticrbs, which they know and make ufc of; Thac
the Holy Ghoft is the Soid of the World, Proceeding afterwards to what relates to the Incarna-
tion, he in the firft place cites the Prrnofition wherein Abnelard maintain'd that [cfus Chrift did rot
conie into the World on pnrpofe to redeem Mankind ; upon this he urges the Bufincfs very home
10 htm, and (hews, thatncichcr Scripture nor 1 radition acknowledge any other end of the Incar-
nation, befide the ledeeming of Mankind from the Bondage of the Devil, into which they had fain

doo does not conGft in the Love of Jefus Chrift, fincc lufants are rcdeem'd \>y fiaprilm, before they
arrive to the ale of Rcafon, and confe^ucnt ly before cipey are capable of loving at all. taftly, b6

as fir as rhc y arc one by the fomc Thinp, This P(o[?o(ition was likewifc committed to writ-
ing, nrd Sr. Bernard oppos'd divers Pa(ie^e^ of the F.uliers. The ncrr dny, they continued
to produce many other 1 cftunonics of the Fathers ton;rary to thar Do^flrnic ; and then the
prber two Articles were propos'd and wrinen, wif. That the Pcrfonal Properties and the Eter-
nal Attribuics of rjfxl, ^arc nor God, and that it cannot be (aid. That the Divine Nature af-
flim'd the Humane Nature, but that it ought to be faid, That the Pcrfon of the Son took our
Nanirc. When they had difputed for a lorg time about thofe Prcpofitlons, the Cardinals de-
dar d in tlie end of the Aflcmbly, that after baring duly conltdcr d what was alledg'd oa
both Ales, they would decide the Matter, and determine what ought to be beUcv*d. The
Arch-biftiops and Bitliops being jaftly offended, that the Cardinals ihould take upon them ar-
bitrarily CO paGi their judgment in that Affair^ and iiraring leii they Qiould acquit Giliebert de

I'cTcral Difcourfes which ought not to have been made, purely out of rcfpcCl to their Cba-
raifter ; but being inform'd mat they defign'd to proceed to Sentence, they thought fit to of-
fer rhem their ConfcflTion of Faith, to the end that ihcy irightbe enabl'd to pafs a richr judg-

their parts, rhey prorcfted that they would nor fuffer any ahcrarion to be made in their Fonn.
The Cardinal at lirft took it very ill, that the Bifhops and St. Bernard bad prcpar'd a Confc/fion
ofTatth before-hand, and by that means nrcventcd their Judgments; imagming, that itbe-
long'd only to the Hofy See to make fuch Forms, and to judge definitively of Matters of
Faich> But St. B:>nard qualify'd ibcir Re(cntmenrs, by rcmonftraring to them, That neither

and the two Legates went to Communicate them to the King of England : Whereupon 'that
Prince and the Prelates of his Kingdom demanded of the Legates, whether they baci nor re-
ceiv d Orders from the Pope to bring Thomas Bestfet to his Tryal, or whether they were not
impower'd to do ir, by vertueof their Office? They dedar'd that they bad no fuch Power,
and that all that they coold do, was only to caufe the Pope's Letters to be read publicklyj
by which he prohibited the Arch*bi(hop of C4«/o'^tfrjr,toExcommunicafc the King.or to pals any
Sentence of Safpenfion on bis Kingdom j as alfo to inform him of the purport of them, with a
probJbirion to attempt anything to the prejudice of that Order; and to confirm the Ablblu-
tions tnat were given to the Bifhops, and other Excommunicated Perfons, under pretence,
ifaat the Pope allow'd that fuch Abiolntion (hould be granted them, in cafe they were in dan-
ger of Death, and that tbofe Perfons being coolhain'd by the King's Orders to pafs over
the Sea, ran the hazard of lofing their Lives. But the Pope having permitted it only upon
Condition, that they (hould redore the Church- Revenues, and the greatefl part of them ooc
having done it, T/;oi)Mi £«ci^«' wrote to the Legates, that they ought to oblige them to make
reftitution, if thty weredelirons that their AMolntion (hould be ratify 'd. The Pope himfelf
likewife wrote to the fame dkA ; but the Cardinal of Pavia eluded that Older; aUeitgiog,
that he could not put it in execution without ollending the King.
In the mean while Tbonus Bcclftt made great complaints againlV thole Froceedings, and

The publication of that Sentence extremely exafperated the Minds of the Prelates and Eng-

the Order oi Pi idthood from the Hands of that Pope, wjio made him Cardinal of St.Pri/c4.
Afterwards returning to Frane*, in 1094. laden with Honour, he took upon him the Gorerti-
mcnt of his Monaflery of and was cmp'ny'd in the Adminiftration of the mott im-
ponan: Atfairs of the Church and State. He was invited by the Popes to divers Councils, and
wascholenby Lewes theGrofsKing of fV4»»er, tobe Atfaitrator of a Dtlfetencethat aiofe beiweeu

The firft Book of the Letters of this Abbot contain 31 directed to the Popes VrlanH.
P^cbal II. Calixtut il. and Hmarius IL and to the Legates of the See of I^tu. They are
•tmoft all written for the prefervation of the Immtuiiiies and Poflirffions of bis Abbey, de*
tnanding the Proreclion of it of the Popes, as a Right unqueftionably belonging to him ; in
regard that all the Revenues of his Monaftcry by its Foundation, were an allodial Tenure
of :he Holy See, for which he paid a certain Duty. *

In the lecond Book arc compris'tl Letters direded to 7: Bifliop of Chartret, and ro

cerning the Reiteration of Extreme UnAion, and concludes with Ivn of Cluatrnt mat it ought

The Third Book comprehends 45 wriaen to feveral Bilhops, nxrte cfpecially to

thai Hefcelin compos'd one or two I titers under the Xaaic cf arsocher Perfon, to dcclaiai

JmJen, and the other in that of Santa Crcce zt Florence, which arc rcfcrr'd to the time of
hert d' Arbrifetles ; Fatlier MubitM havtog alfo feeo and cited the latter in the Rjelation of
his Voyage to Italy.
In the iirth Book are contain'd 28 Letters dirccflcd to divers particular Perfons, which are
full of moral Difcoiirfes and Compliments. In rhc Sixteenth, he nfTcrts !i>e ncceiTity of mak-
ing Confcffion of all forts of Sins ; and in the iati, he maintains, thai a Man, who has once
a^Tum'd the Monaftick Habit, and liv'd for fomc time in dMonaftery, cannot return to a
fccular courfc of Life, alcho' he made no c>tprelsProfeiT:on nor recciv'd the Bcnedid'tion
Thefe Letters arc foUow'd by fevcral Trads about divers Ecdcflaftical Aliairs ; ihc Firft
of which is a Trcatife of the Body and Blood of Jefuj Chrift, in which he endeavours to
prove the changing of the Bread and Wine inrb our Saviour^ Body and Bfocd in the Eucha-
rifti fo that after the Confecration, nothiftg remains of the matter or lubllancc of the Bread
and Wine, but only the outward appearances, and that 'tis really the vtry fame Body of
Jffus Chrtfl, that was ham of the Virgin Mary, and which fuffer'd on the Crofs. He adds,
That the Wicked receive it in the Sacrament, but do not receive the Efetlls nor Crau's ot it,
^hich are only beftow'd on thofc, who are in a (late of Rigbteoufnefs.
The Second is made of Bilhops and againft the rnveftiturcs: He main-
abotir the Eledlion
tains in the former, that as Baptifm makes a Chriltian, io bkaion and Confecration Confti-
lutc aBilhop; and as it is impoflible to be a Chriftian without receiving Biptifm , fo it is
likewifcimpofTible tobc a Bifliop without EUdion and Confccra-ion. Thar thole two Qiip.-
lifications aic fo abfolutely necelTary, that Confecration without EIcLiion, and Eicclion with-
out Confecration, arc not fufficient to make a Bifhop: That Confecration fuppofes a Cano-
nical Elcdion, and that whofoever receives it wiiho-.^t being Canonicalfy Chofen, i^ rvhcz

Curled than Confccrated; by reafonthat nothing can difannul the Order of Elcdlion and Con-
fecration eftablilh'd by Jefui Chrift, who himfelf chofe and confccrated his Apoftlcs : That
the Cleigy fupp!y our Saviour's Place in the Eledion and the Bilhops in the Confecmrioni
That all the other Chriftians have a right to demand a Biiliop, but they cannot ElcJl nor
Cbnfecrate him; That upon that account, all thofe who afpire to EicleiiafHcal Preferments,
by any other means, th.in Canonical Eletflion, fubvert the Order of the Church: That the
Church of i^owf cannot difpcnie with that Inftitution, or piruut it ro he done othcrwife; be-
caufe the Pope cannot do that, which Sr. Pacr himfelf had no power ra do. Now Jefut
Chrifl only empowered Sx. Piter to bind that which oupl.r to be bound, and to loofe that wiMch
was of nccclTity to be loofed, and not to loofe that wluth ought to be bound, or to bind that:
which ought to be loofed ; and when St. Peter was about toacTt othcrwife, St. Paul the' a N<V
vice in the Fairh, withftood him ro thcF.icc Laftly, that the Church oi' {{.^mc ought not to
r

repeal the L„aws cftablidicd in the Holy Scripcure, but to maintain them, nor to make ufc
of the Power given by ytfu* Chrifi^ acoofding to a capricfoos HaoMMur, bat aocording 10 our
Saviour's Tiatn'tion.
Afterwards he paflls ro the Inveftitures. and fays, That to know the Dodlrtnc of the Ca-
tholick and Apoftolick Cluirch, as to that Point, 'tis rcquifite Only to perufethe firft Arctde

of the Council, held under Gregory VII. which that Pope excommunicates and treats rt<:
in
Hercticks all thofe Clergy.men, who lhall prcfume to receive the Invcftiture from the Hand
of Laicks : That that fon of Hercfy is a more heinous Crime than Simony, in regard that
Simony is only praftis'd in focre^ but the Invefttnircs are always oiade publickJy : Tha t the

He continues to handle the fame Matter in the Fourth Tradt, and proves that ng^ cau- K
r>ot confer the Invclti'urccven of fpifitual Benefices, with ihc Ring and S -'ff; 1 ccautc it is
an EcckiiallicalCcr^muny, and that to fj>eak properly they cannot licltow the LivcUi urc of
Eodefiaitical PoOeflions, by reafon that they already belong to the Church. But he acknow-
ledges that after a Cmonicnl Elcolion and Confccratlo'.i, they mny grant ihc Ro}.'iI \v.v .-'^'vira
of ^orch Revt-nLics, ;uid put him that has the Title, in poflcliion ot tiicm, afttirding him

In the follow n r, Trucl, he lays down a Principle, v;hi:h r.lfn has rcLir-on ro the Imrnffs

of InvcUiiurcs, vi:{. That Condefcenfionmay be ioii.cnmcs ul.owd, and the grantu-g ot Di(-

th« Church, or in cafe of iicccni y. and not toi M
y cr Favour; aodtbat that which is ab-
;

iolutcly evil , ouqht iit\ct to be tokriud or pcimiticd.

In the Sixth, he maintains three PrincipJei^ wjf. That the Church ought to be Caiholickj
Free and Charter Thix Qu.tten us Catholic!-:, ir can neither Iv? Bough: ro- Sr.'-l ; thnas its
Free it ought notio be brought into Subjeclionto any Secular Power; and iliai as ti> Chaitc,it
might not to be corrupted with Prcfcnts.
The 5c.cn hTratfl contains certain Allegorical Explications of the Arkofihe Coveoantt
and of the Tabernacle with reference to the Charch.
In the Eighth, he explains, what are the cflfedis of Baptifm, Confirmation, Extreme Unilion,
and the Euchariit. He f.:\- That Baptifm remir? Sins by the Vtrrucof thL Holy GholT,
,

That in Coofimution the Holy Ghoft is- invoked that he would vouchiafe to take up his abode
in tiie HaWntion which he has Sandificd ; that he woufd alfo Defend and Protctil it : That
that Sacrament is Adminifler'd by the Bifliops to (hew, that it gives the higheft Perfedlion:
That the Extreme Unitioii of Siclv Perrons confers on them Rcmiilion of Sins; to the end
that Cbtiftians m,iy obtain Mercy both in tlieir Life time, and at the hour of Death : And
laftly. That in the Communion of the Body and B'ood of Jcfuj
Ch>ijl the Chrifiian Soul is

Healed of a!l the Difeafcs of its Vices, rc.C;'ublini'd in a State of Evcrlatling Salvation, and
Made one Body with J'-fus Chrifi.

In the Tenth, he proves, That the Bishops ought net to exad any thing for Bened.cbions
and Ordinations, and aflcns it to be a kind of Simony in a Bi(hop» not only to receive Mo-
ney for the Pencdlv^ion of an Abbot, but alfo to exaA of him an acknowledgooen^ -by

B/Jhop of Mans, and after jfards Arch biJJjop of Tours,
Hnvffbert fJILDEBERT Born at Lavardin in the Dioccfs of Mans, of Parents of mean Condition,-
^pof tl joyndthe Study of ihc Liberal Sciences to that of Divinity, and was chofcn Bifhop of
Maas.
^. D. 1098. His firft Excrcifcs of the Epifcopal Fon<ajons were difturbed by the
War that broke forth between H^tUiam IL Sirnam d i(w/xM King of England, and Heh'e Count
of Mans, who being taken Prifoner by that Prince, the City of M^im fell into the Hands of
fculqucs Count of Angers. The King of Englatid was Marching at the Head of an Army to
take it, HVlien the Bifhop and Inhabitants, fearing left the Count of Angers fhould make an
Agrccmcnr at their Coll, Surrendrcd it to him, on Condition that tlteir Count IhOuJd be fct
at Liberty. Afterwards the Count having got together Ibmc firefli Troops, re-enrcr'd the
Ckyof Mxns, a Rcficg'd the Forrs that were poflcfs'd by King llll'i^mf, Forces
iij but be;

was repuls'd, ;ind liie King rcmain'd Matter of the City, Hildebcrt wa$ accuied of having
been coi;cern'd in that entcrprize, and oblig'd to pafs over into England to cfear bimfclf. The
King enjo\ n d h:m locaufe the Towers of his Church ro be pnlTd down, and UHJchert re-
turning with that Order, found his Church laid wafte by ihc outrages that were committed
againft the Clergy, by the pillaging of its Revemes and die bnming of the City. Bot the
King of Engi'wd dying a little while afrc r, A. D. 1 100. Count Ilelic re-tcok the Ciry, grant-
ed a Compofition to the King's Soldiers, who were in the Fons, and re-eftablilh'd Order and
Veace in thofe Parts. When Mifdehtt liwr his Native Omntry reftor'd to its former Tran-
quilliry, he undenook Journey to l^ome and went to vifit Pope Pafchal II. by whom he
.n ,

was very kindly entertain d aod returned from Home laden with. Honours and Preferments.
&»me time after, he was apprehended at Negent k Hptrou, where hf went to bear the lad WiU
and Tcft.'ment of the Count of I{orrcu, who was dcr.iin d Prifoner at Alans. At laft hft*
vingprccur'd his Liberty, hefolcmaiz d the Confercation of the Cathedral Church of Mans

fciz'd on, aod prohibited him to enter his Dominions. The Perfon who was nomiiuted

lion to diftiirbanccs in the Church of Tours. At laft thefc diflenfions being appcas'd, he

pal See of MMtts vj Years, and the Mctropolitaa of Tmrt, (ix Years and as many
Months.
The Letters of this Author are the moft valuable Pieces annongft his Works. They are
written in aline Epiftolary Style, after a very Naroral manner, and contain divers Importanc
Points of Morality, Church-Difcipiine and Hiflory Wc

chofcn Bilhop of Angers ; bccaufe he was a Young Man, and not as ycr in Orders , and was
not Canon icaliy Elcded by the Clergy, but prodaim'd in a Popular TumulCi againft whofe

The Trcatile calj'd, The Pearl cf the Sou! or, Of the Divine Offices, h tlividcd into four
;

Books. In the Firft, he treats of the Saaifice of the Mals; Oi its Ceremonies and Prayers
Of ibe Church ; Of its Pans and Ornaments ;. Of the Mmifters of the Altaf and their Hh*
bits, tfc. In the Second, he difcourfcs of the Canonical Hours, and of ihc Et rFcnn{li>.a! Of-

lar Dnys and Times on which rhcy arc cclcbnrcd. Thefe Books nrt- full of a great number
of Arguments and myftical Explications that have no other Grounds but the Authors Imagina-
tion. They were primed at Lij^ek., A. D. 1 5 1 4. and in the Colledions of the Writers who
have treated of Ecclclialtical Offices.
The Treatife of the Image of the World is divided into three Books : In the Firft of ihefc, be
neais of the World and of its Parts : In die Second, of Time and its Puts; and the Tliird is
a Chronologic.il Series of Emperors, Kings and other Sovereign Prinocs» iiomche Creation of
cbe World to the Emperor Frederick Barhrojft.
The Piece diat bears the TitJe of The PI)ilcfop}ij tfihe tt^trfJ, dtvtdetl inm finr Books, is a
Trtaiife of the Syftem of the Worfil and cf its principal ParT-; It is follow'd by anodier
:

Tra<a of the fame Nature, touching the Motion of the Sun and Planets.
The Treatife of Predeftination and of Free-will, is Written in fenn oif i Dialogue, and
has for its Subjetft the Explication of thar common Qiicl'inn, How
can Free-will be recon-
ciled with the Certainty of Pi-cdeftination ? He defines Fredelbination to be an eternal pre-
paration to Happinefs, or Milery of thole that have done Good or Enl : He affirms. That
it impofcs no neccirity of doing either l)Cc.-iifc God docs not prcdcflinnrc to Happinefs or
;

Uifery, but with refpeA to the Merits of the Perlon : He rejcds the Opinion of thofc who
aflert. That Frcc-will confifls in the Power of doing Good or Evil, and defines it to be a
Capacity of performing Righrcoufnefs vofunrarily and without conftraint : He in-iinrains, That
lA»a by his Nature, is endued with a Power to adt according to the Rule of Righteoufnels,
alihongb he ftands in need of Grace to do it, and is capable of refifliog that Grace: He
lays, That God made all reafonablc Creatures for his Glory, hm 'h?^ he left them free to do
dtber Good or Evil by their own Will, and that he would have all Men to be fav'd, but that
\m iheir ftce Will, which is the caale of their Damnation. Afterwards he explains, why
God made Crearyres, when lie foreknew that they would iTn .igainft him, and that rhey would
be dunned : Why the Word was incarnate : Upon what account. Mankind having deferved
nodnn^bot Pumlhment, after the committing of Sin, God leaves fome in the Mus of Per-
dition, who arc damned by their free Will, and faves others by his fpecial Gr-xc, whirh
they by no means deferv'd : And how Salvation ought rather to be attributed to Grace than
to ftce WAU although free Will co-Operates with Grace. He ofaferves, That Children, d»c
incur Damnation, arc joftly condemn'd to that Punifhment,- and that thofc who attain ro
Salvation, are fav'd by Grace, which they never merited : And as for adult Pcr-
fons, that they are fav'd by Grace and free Will, and that thofe who are danined, arc
doom'd to thir Sentence by Juflice, and by their free Will That Predeftination neither
:

iaves nor damns any Perlon by force ; although all the Eied are infallibly fav'd, and the Re-
Erobaies infallibly damned : But forafmucli as 'tis not known, whether one be of the nuBl-
cr of the V.lcA or of the Reprobates, that 'tis requilTrc to ule all poflible endeavours for the ar-
caining to Salvation : And that the number the Eledb is certainly determined, bccaufc God
from ail Eternity, knew thofe who would die in that State. He ados. That Man fince Adam'%
Tranfgreflion, may fall by his free Will, but that he caimot rife again but by Grace and ;

that God fometimes denies that Grace, to thofe who are too Prefumptuous : That every Thing
which happens in the World, ought to be refin'r'd to God ; either becaufe he does it, or be>
caufc he pcrmif; it, or in regard that he does not prevent it ; that he caufes all things to rend ro
the promoting of his own Glory ; that he Ihcws Mercy on whomfoever he thinks fit, by af-
fbrding them his Grace ; that he iiardens others at his Pleafurc, by leaving them In their
Wickednefs and in the St.ite of Reprobation. Laflly, after having made fome Moral Rc-
fiedlions, our Author concludes this Work, with a Recapitulation of the Principles that he
had afacady eftabliOi'd.
In the Catilogu " 'he Works of tfrnnrius of Auttm, no mention h made of certain Quc-
fiions relating to tli« Books of I'roverl^i and Ecclejiajics, but tlx:y come very near his particular
Style and Genitit.
CommenTary on the Canticles is preceded by a Preface, concerning the different fenfes
of Holy Scripture, the DiviHon of the Sacred i3<x>ks, and the general Qucilions which re«
late ro that Book in panicular. He explains the Text of it according to the four Senfes tx-

In 4nochcr Letter dirc^cd to the lame Pope, he entrcatsbun to feud back the Bitbop af B^ieux,

He wroteagain tothar Pope, about the Conte l rhararoit lx'.wci ntfy; Abbot and the Monks

manded Letters of Reference, which be ai\i»Afefiokt (this i» the £rfttime I met w 'lh this

he bad granted rbeir Ret|uelt,
and that in the mean while, he osder'd both wraa 10 do nothing, that might tend to die pre-

He likewife wrote to the Abbor of St. Evnu, that he wat oblig'd to diichargc the Debts

In another Letter to iVti iam Bilhop of Mam, be dcfircs htm to appoint another Place In

It might be taken for grmred, that the pofl^ffim of that Ptace was not adjudg d to hitn, hat

Claim Ihould come to be debated r Bcfides that 'twas not fufficient to prefent a Pric f! ro him,

The Schifin that bappco'd io the Clnirch of H^me after the Death of Pop^ Adrian IV. be-

would not acknowledg any other Pope; That having afterwards receiv'd a I-erter from the Em-
peror, who entreated him todefer the declaring ii^his favour, behad fupcrfcded the pub!if>,tng
of his Declaration ; but that he ftill perliffed in his former Refoiurion, and that whatever courie
the Emperor might take, he would not follow him, if he did not find it expedient.
Pope Alexander reply'd to Amufflms, That he was very fenfible of the Affe^^ion rh.-r he

the mean while, the Bifhop has turn d out the Prior of the Canons, and (ubltiiuccd a Per-
loll of no Repute in his Place, to the end chat he might make bimfelf Mafter of the Chnich-
ftevenues. Therefore he exhorts the Pope to revoke what was exrorrc d from h m by liirprire,
ia order to re-eftablilh the Rule in thar Cliapter, and to put an end lo the Complaints and AIw
Borings occafion'd by that Innovation.
The four following Letters are diicL^cd ro rf^c fame P>>pe, and contain an account of ar. t

ticular Affairs. In the laft he acqiuims him, 1 hat the King of EngUnd was difiatislicd with
Us Holinets, becaufe he deny'd him thofe Favours he fu'd fbr at i(«Mr.
He congratnlatcs i;i .mother, GUlcrt Bifhop of London, m regard thar the Pope had or-

^pair ofteh put falfe Aciufers in a Capacity to opprefs innocent Pedbns, and give tnem an
<j>porrnn:ry rn avoid the Puniflimcnt due to their Criinc;,
In another Letter, he reproves a certain Abbot for leaving bis Monaitery to fojiicit Lavv-
filits at Court, and enjoyns him to return thither.

In a Letter that fie wrote ro Han y Catdinal Biihop of PZ/Tr, fending IniD the Vocks of
Bnnodius ; he palTes a very diUdvauMgcous Judgment on that Author.
In his Letter to the Bifhop of Angcukfme, he determines that the Engagements that a cer*
riin Child was iinJcr, whom his L'ncle had bound to a Clerk, upon Payment of a Sum of
Money, ouglit not to be ratify 'd, and that that Biihop cannot lulitr t!ic la:d ChUd to be de-
tained by him.
In a I,t t:er written to Arnold Abbot of B-:^f!fitvaf, he rrcars of the Ulcfulnefs of the SAcri-
fice of the Mais. " Nothing (fays be) can be otier'd up itiore precious than JESUS

and that he, for whom it is ofier'd, Ihould know the Value of it by Faith ; that. he (hooU

" this Sacrifice remains altogether entire for every one in particular. Ic is communicated

He has alfo infirted amongrt his I cttcrv, a Difceurfe that he made in the Coiuicil of Tours,
A. D. J 163. in the prefcnce. nnd by the 0;der of Popv- yllcxitr.der III. In the beginning of it
be fays, that there arc three QiialitiCS rcquidte in a Preacher, r/j^. Sandliiy of Life, to pro-
Care refpedl for what he delivers; a perfeCT: Knowledge, to he capable of tc.iching the neccf-
firy Tmths; and Eloquence to caufe them to be approv d, to the end that Iiis Sennons may
be Holy, Learned and Sublime. In the Body of this Setnion, he tre.-.rs of the Unity and

Liberty of the Church, iTiewing that thofc two Qualities arc ncceflary thertin, and that the
JMinifters ought to nfe their utmoft endeavours to maijuain them, more clpttially at a time
when both are attack'd ; that is to fay, the former by the Ambition of Schifmaticks, and the
other by tlie OpprcflTion of Tyrants: That nc verrhckfs, 'tis impolTible that either fliould
compafs their Defign For aUliough the former kparaie ihcmfeivcs from the Communion of
:

die Church,, yet it is not divided by that means, but the Chaff it only leparated from the
Wheat ; and ahhou{»h the latter feiaes on the Temporal Revenues of the Church, neverche-
Ids ic does not ccalc to be free, and to cxercile its Power with Spiritual Authority,
ffewever, that the Biihop*; ought to make ufe of all poflible means to re-unite the former to
the Comtnunion of the Church, and to oblige ihr others to quit their ur.jiilt Cl.iim ro the
Ecdetiaitical Revenues. This is the Subje<fi of a lone and very p.ithetica! F.xhort.^tion n.aJe
by him to the fiiihopt of the Council; and in the (equct ot the f.imc Difcotirfc. be wi[>,ts
that the Emperor would humble himfcif under the Almiphrv Hand nf God that he would
;

acknowledge thai the Dominion of the Church is abuve his, and that he would fiibmit to
the See of Hgme, which conferr'd the Empire on his PrcdecelTors. He obferv. s that Biil.ops
iTiay polTefs larpc Revenues, provided they do not rake tiictrfchr^ to

only the Difperilers of them, and arc penuaded that the Patntnony of JESUS CHRIST

the Emperor Frff</fric/j., &nA the Proceedings of Pope Alexander apinfk him. His Letters
are full of AlluGons to the Sacred Hiftory, and of Examples taken out of Holy Scrip-

into Sicily, A. D. 1 1 6.7- with Stephen the Son of the Count of Perebet and the Coirfin of t!ie
Queen of Siciljr, he was chofcn Tutor and afterwards Secretary to fVi''i im II. Kmg of
Sieiijt but he was foon obUa'd to, leave that Country, when Stefhen Coani of I'erchr, vrfio
was made Chancellor of i^e Ktogdom and Arch-bifhop of P<r'rpm», was banifh'd from thence.
Upon his return to France, he was invited over into E^^^Ijndhy Kinp T^f ) 11. and after
havit^ fpent fome time at Court, he retir'd to the PaUcc of l{ieiMtd Arch-bilhop of Cm-

and to the Popes Alex<tnder III. and XJrban III. to ncgoti.ire Affair? rcl t nc to the Church
of Ctrnterbmrj^ and after the Death of King Henry, he continued for fomc time in the Cooit
of Queen Etemerg. la the end of bis Life, he wa$ drprivd of the Ardi-Deaconry of Btfi.
which was conferr'd on him at his arrival in E>i?.'.i>!.!, b ir (otm time after, he ob ain'd that of
Lotidcn ; in the dificbaretoK of which Duty, he took a great deal of pains, and enjoy *d on-
ly a fmall Revenue. m
He died En^tmd A. D. ttoo.
Peter de Blots himfelf made a CoIIcolion of his Letters, l-'y "h. Order of Hevry II. King
of EniUnd, as he intimates in bis firii Leaer direded to that Prince, in which be obfcrvo^
Thatmey are not all alilte ; that (bmerimesthe great number of urgent Aflairs oblig'd bin
to write with Icfs accuracy ; that fometimcs the SubjcL^^ d'd nor nllow h'm to enlarge ; and
that (booetimct the meanncfsof the Capacity of thofe Perfoos to whom he wrote, conHnin'd
him to make ufe of a more plain Style. He excnfbs htm^f for ciring profane Anthors, aJ
aI(o, for fpciking freely, nnd even for prcfiiming to reprove his Pr rrcc. He protefts, that
to the bcft of his remembrance, he never wrote any thing with a Defign to Flatter, but that
Inrr;^ri!y and an unfeigned Zeal for maintaining the Tratb, always exdied him to Pes
to Paper.
The Second is a Letter of Confolation direilled to the lame King on the Death of his
Son Henry HI. In wbich he induces bim to hope for the Salvation of that young Prince, who

In the Founh, he congratulates the Prior of Ci^eaux .upon the Tranquilliiy he enjoy 'd fa
his Solitude, prorcfting that he even envy'd his Condtrion, and entreats the fame Prior to re-
mtmhct him in his Pmycr-- and OMuion*;.

of Ctnterhmy^ for applying bimfelf with greater cameftnefs to the maintenance of the Tcm-
por.il Intercfts of his Chiircli, than to the Spiritual CovLrnment of his Dtocefs ; rcmoa-

In the Sixth, to wipe off the reproaches that a certain Scbool-Mal^er who undertook ro
teach the Liberal Sciences, had put up4>n the Clerks, who live in the Palaces of fiifliops ; he
aflerts, That his Profe^on was tnorc contrary to the EcdcGaltical Fuoi^n, than the a»-

In the SevcntI), he rebukes a Profeflbr, wlio w.t; ntWieled to Drunkcnncfs.
In the Eighth, he vindicates the comparifbn he made of the different States of the Church,
to the various Phafet or Apparitions of the Moon, and mainiaini, that Terms and Maxims

The Twelfth a confotatoty Letter directed to one of his Nejiltews, afBi<5ecl widi the
is

peath of hisUnck» the burning of his HoaTe, and a Wound he rccciv d in his Foot.
In the Thineenth, he reprehends a Young Monk, who endeavour d to get a Priory, un-
der pretence, that (hould thereby have an opportunity of conTertMig more Souls, and
makes it appear. That a Monk ought not to covet Secular £inployaieiiiip not lo to
Dignities, nor to affe^ to isflrudl others.
In the Fourteenth, direded to the Chaplains of the King of England, he cdmmunicJtcs to
them certain Reflediions that a Fit of Sickneis caus'd him to make on the mifcrable cci.diti-
on of ihofc Clergy-men, who are oblig'd to refide in the Courts of Princes ; of which he
gives a very lively Defcripooii, and exbnnt dtem to fotlow hU Example in quitttog that
ccut-le of l ife.

The t ihccnih is an Inftrutftion to ^ainaud newly chofeo Bifhop of Chart} cs, concerning
dieEpfoopal <^alities and Fondtons. He fays, That the fird thin^ th.ir is lometimes done,
is to make enquiry into the Revenues belonging to the Bifhopnck, and not into the prefent
condition oi it He cenfures the Luxury and Magnificence of lome Bifhops of his time, the
:

pains that they look n n

imp ttpRidwa and gratifie Princes, and the Secular Coorfeof Life i

that they lead.

Ill the Sixteenth, he exhorts a ceruin Biihop immers'd in the management of many Af-
fnn CO nakeclioioeofa note qniec manner of Livii^, in order to ptontoce his own Sal^
vation.
In the Seventeenth, he Ihews, That a Clerk who drives a Trade, no lefs culpable than
is

one that IbUom Ufury, and that all ounner of inoidinaie cndcatoafs lo gee and heap np
Riches are unworthy of a Clergy-man.
In the Eighteenth, he gives us a lively defcription of the Irreguiantics of a certain fiilhop,
who was addii^ed to that Vice.
In the Nineteenth, herefolvcs twoQueftionS, which were propos'd to him by one of his
Friends who Ihidicd the Law at Parg, vi:(. I. Whether a Woman, who turn'd Nun, upon
a fuppofition that her Husband was dead, be oblig'd to leave the Convent, if he return ?
And 2. In cafe (lie be oblig'd to follow her Husband, whether fhe ought to afTunie the Veil
again after his Death ? He anfwers, That the VoW of Chaftity made by her, being in the
Imsband't Power, is not oblig.itory; and that Hie ought to return with her Hodtend, and
may marry ngain afccr his Deceale. In that Letter, there is a reiriark very advanr:if»eoii«; to
the Schools of Parts, of whicli he faies, that as there was formerly a Proverbial laying, diai
tbofc who had any Qyeftion to propofe ought to repair to AviU } lb in like manner at pre-
fent it pafs d into a Proverb, that thofc who were defirous to have any QycfHoB dcddcA
need only go to Parn, wlicre thcgreateil DiiEculties arefiiiriy rcfolv d.
Indie Twentieth he complains. That the Domeftick Servants of I(ainMud Biiltiop c£ Char-
tret remor'd him £tom the Palace of thac Frelam, whom he Uamcs lor bii Coo (icac ISbt^
raliry.
Id the Twenty firft, he reprehends the faaHghtiBc6 and acraganqr of a Canon, who #ai
formerly rirr of his particular Friends.
In the 1 wcnty fecond, direded to John of S*Htbury, he commends his Conftancy, and
that oiThamM Arch-biOio^of GmMr^wrr, and advifcs them to petfewre, and not to fiiftr
thcmfelvcsrobc inovM hy nny manner of Adverfiry or Perfccution*.
In the Twenty third, written to Off the Pope's Legate, iiedcciames agamft the Abufe
that w^ then predominant, to fill up die vacant BiAopricks with unworthy and uncapahfe
Perfons who obtaln'd them by the means of finifter practices or purchas'd them with Money.

confide rab!<: Benefices. In r!ic F fth, he fays rhnt perhaps it might be objef^ed agaiitft

fiwi'd 10 put bis Son into the MonaUery of St. Pantaiean^ without giving him his Portion i
on.

^ir is to fay, whether the Monks ought to exaA any thing of the Party, or to receive
bini G J//.' I{pJulpbut does two things in hi' Reply: On the one fide, he condemns the
Avarice of that ricli Man, and accufes inm cf a kind of Sacrilege , in regard that having
deiennfned to dedicate his Son to God, he denies him that Ihare of his Eftate, which be^
Jong'i to him by right of Inheritance : He obfervcs alfo, that the Monaftcrie? arc nor cft^-
blifh'd for (be (jenetit of Opulent Families, but to receive and maintain the Poor, who
are devoted to the Service of God. On the other fide, Hodulphut does not allow tlie Monks
lo cxad any thing for the Reception of Children, and fjys. That they would do wtlJ to
admonifli their Parents, that 'tis their Duiy to offtr parr of the Hereditary Portion of t^eir
Children, but tfatt they ought nor to be ConftrainTd to do ic by force : lliat as die Mona*
ftery may either admit m jc;ft a Mnnk according to Difcretion ;
i i fo the Parents ought to

be kft at liberty , cither to beltow Children in iiich a manner, or to retam them , and
thac tiotfaing can be exaded for the Admidion of a Monk, widboot hKonrfng the Goih of
Simony. For 'Hiys he) every Thinp that is exacted, or is demanded, or even every Thing
that is done in hopes of getting a Recompence, as for what relates to Ecdelialtical Atfairs,
It Stfflony, and altbo* ir does not appear to to the Eyes of Men, nevenhelefs 'tis look'd up-
on as fiich by Cod. Ai the end of fhi<; I,ercr, a Dilcourfe is fubjoin'd, in which hcad\ifcs
ihofe wiiocake upon them the Monaltick Vows, to divide their £ftate iotothree Parts j to the
end, that one may be given to the Poor, another to the Mcmaftery where they retire, and
the third to be left to tlicir Fainily. He fikcwife exhcrrs Parents who would make their

The ftudy of the moft nccdlary and nioft obvious Points being negkded in the Tenth Century, ix,
is not to be admir'd, that no application was made to rhofc abimile and difficult Qwftiont ; lb
that Ar!J}otlt\ Phllolbphy wa-^ I'or (xnun to be t.mght in ihc Publiek Schools, according to the

ktliraic and decide ordinary Qjielboiis, but to form a great number or new one>, wliicii were

HiaCoUe(%on of rhc Sentences is divided into Four Books, and every Book into feveni Sec-

has TwoObjeifh, ^ j:;^. Things, and Signs j that Things are divifible into thofe that may be en-
joy'd, and thole which arc only CO ht ui'd ; that is to lay, God and the Creatures. In the Firft

them into Three Parts ; the Firft of which is extended from the Creauon of rhe World to the Fall Dqti*
of Adam ; the Second, from the Fail to the PaiCon of JeJ$u Cbrift j anu the i hir4,.:to the Div o£
