64. The papist represented and not misrepresented; being an C. L. answer to the first sheet of the second part of the papist misrepresented and represented; and for the farther vindication. of the catechism truly representing the doctrines and practices of the church of Rome.

See Cat. No. 25. [State, p. 31.] Ath. Oxon. vol. ii. col. 1119. It is curious that Wood, although he gives Nos. 64 and 69, in his list of John Williams's works, omits No. 65. This must have been a

mere oversight; but Dr. Bliss has not supplied the defect. The clause in brackets in the title as above has been omitted by Gee and Peck. It is added here from the original. J. H. T.

C. L. 66. Transubstantiation no doctrine of the primitive fathers, being a defence of the Dublin letter herein against the papist misrepresented and represented, Part II. cap. 3. [By John Patrick, M.A. preacher at the Charterhouse.]

pp. 72, 4to Lond. 1687 See Cat. No. 26. Contin. p. 22 [and p. 70]. I cannot find any copy of "the Dublin letter," nor can I tell who was its author. Dr. Wake,

[ocr errors]

Contin. (p. 22) says, "The next that gave occasion to the revival of this controversy" [i.e. the next after the author of a Discourse of Transubstantiation (Tillotson, 1685), see No. 125] was the author of the Dublin Letter, who being answered by the Representer in his second part, cap. 3, a learned man of our communion [viz. John Patrick] made good his party in an excellent discourse," &c. The Representer (loc. cit.) quotes what these authors call "the Dublin letter," under the title of "The Papists doctrine of Transubstantiation not agreeable to the Primitive Fathers." But I can find no title answering to this title in the Catal. of the Dublin Univ. or of the Bodl. Libraries; nor does it appear in Abp. Marsh's Library, or in the large collection of these tracts in the Library of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin. J. H. T.

C. L. 67. Wholesome advices from the blessed Virgin to her indiscreet worshippers. Written by one of the Roman Communion, and done out of the French into English, by a Gentleman of the Church of England, with a Preface shewing the Motives to the Translation. [Anon.] By James Taylor, Gent.

pp. 20, 4to Lond. 1687

See Cat. No. 27. [State, p. 27. Contin. p. 53.] This tract is by Mr. Adam Widenfelt, "a person of high employment under the Prince of Suarzemburgh." (Translator's Pref.) It is alluded to, and the Preface attacked, by the Representer (No. 63) part ii. cap. 4, p. 29, and therefore comes into this controversy, as its object was to shew that authors of the Romish Communion made the same repre

sentation of abuses of which Protestants complain.

Taylor is the

translator of the book and the author of the Preface. J. H. T.

The original work is mentioned in "A Catalogue of Books exclusively relating to the Church of Rome: her doctrines, worship, discipline, controversies and annals; including the Histories of her various Religious Orders; their peculiar Missals, Breviaries, &c.: the Tracts published during the reign of James II.; and a set of Canonizations from 1800 to the present time. On sale by Howell and Co., 295, Holborn, London, 1829."

Widenfeldt, Avis Salutaires de la bienheureuse Vierge Marie à ses Devots Indiscrets, fidelement traduit en François, avec le Latin ensuite (par Gerberon) à Lille 1674. Monita vere salutaria Mariæ Regina Sanctorum omnium, authore Cremerio, Antverpiæ 1764. Lettre Pastorale de M. l'Evesque de Tournay aux Fidelles de son Diocese sur le Culte de la tres Saincte Vierge et des Saincts, a Lille 1674, &c. &c. The curious work which forms the first in the above Collection is an attack on the worship of the Virgin, in which the author puts into her mouth, that she detests the worship because God alone ought to be honoured and loved. It created a great noise at the time of its publication, and was the cause of no less than fortyseven writings being published on both sides of the question. Its end however was being strictly prohibited, first by the Inquisition and then at Rome. The two next in the volume were published in favour of it."

68. A Letter to the Misrepresenter of Papists. Being a Vindica- C. L. tion of that part of the Protestant Preface to the Wholesome Advices from the blessed Virgin &c. which concerns the Protestants' charity to Papists, and a Layman's writing in it. In answer to what is objected against it in the 4th Chapter of the second part of the Papist Misrepresented &c. By the same Layman [i.e. James Taylor] who translated the Wholesome Advices &c., and made the Preface to them.

pp. 16, 4to Lond. 1687 See Cat. No. 28. [State, p. 28. Contin. p. 53.] It seems as if Dr. Clagett, State, p. 28, imagined this tract to have been written by the Representer, and written on the popish side; but this error Dr. Wake corrects.

See Cat. No. 30. Born 1633, died 1707. From the year 1667 to 1683 he was Warden of Manchester. "August 29th (Thursday) Mr. Stratford, the new Warden, was this day installed. A stranger, unthought of, unknown of, unsought for; and of all that we thought of, none so likely to be a mercy to this place. A good man, of a sweet temper, brave scholar and preacher; and one that hath an estate of his own, and seems to resolve to settle in the place and to reside. This we thought then; and then, it was so."- Autobiography of Henry Newcome, vol. i., printed for the Chetham Society, 1852.
