xx., xxi., xxii. infra, and compare Sergeant's Rule of Faith with that
of Thomas White, or the author of those Dialogues which pass under
Rushworth's name, 1640. Reprinted 1654. And Chillingworth's
Answer (subjoined to the best editions of his works, as the folio,
1704, and the new edit. Oxford, 1838, three vols. 8vo.), of whose
Conference with White on Tradition an account is given in An His-
torical and Critical Account of the Life and Writings of William
Chillingworth. By Peter Des Maiseaux, 1725.

"Sergeant was the very genius of controversy, and there was no great
English Protestant writer of his own time that he did not encounter.
As if it were not sufficient to be pitted against Hammond, Bramhall,
Jeremy Taylor, Stillingfleet, Tillotson, Whitby, Pierce and Tenison, he
got into fierce conflict with Talbot, the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin,
who endeavoured to represent his doctrine as heterodox, especially con-
cerning the Rule of Faith. A very curious account of the proceedings
in relation to Talbot's charges against him is contained in Sergeant's
'Clypeus Septemplex' (Duaci 1677, 12mo), his Vindicia alteræ
(12mo), and in a later work of his, of great scarcity, which appears to
have escaped Dodd and other historians altogether, entitled, Raillery
defeated by calm reasoning' (Lond. 1699, 12mo), in which he gives
an interesting narrative of the whole transaction."- Worthington's
Diary, vol. ii. part i. p. 193, note.

95. A discourse concerning the nature and grounds of the certainty C. L. of faith in answer to J. S. his Catholick Letters. By Edward Stillingfleet D.D., Dean of St. Paul's, London, pp. 116, and Cat. of Books printed for Henry Mortlock, 2 pp. 4to Lond.

1688

See Cat. No. 51; Contin. p. 41; Ath. Oxon. vol. ii. col. 1069; [Stillingfleet's Works, vol. vi. p. 361.] He published in 1673 A Second Discourse in vindication of the Protestant Grounds of Faith, against the pretence of Infallibility in the Roman Church in Answer to the Guide in Controversies, by R. Holden; Protestancy without Principles; and Reason and Religion, or the Certain Rule of Faith, by E. Warner. With a Particular Enquiry into the Miracles of the

Roman Church.

In this he replies also to Cressy, who had published, in a Collection of several Treatises, Stillingfleet's Principles, giving an account of the Faith of Protestants, considered by N. O. Paris 1671, 12mo. E. Worsley also was an Anti-Stillingfleet in The Infallibility of the Roman Catholick Church and her Miracles, defended against Dr. Stillingfleet's Cavils, unworthily made publick in two late Books. The one called An Answer to Several Treatises, &c. The other, A Vindication of the Protestant Grounds of Faith, &c. Antwerp 1674,

12mo.

96. An historical discourse concerning tradition [in answer to Mr. John Sargeant.] By John Williams M.A. [afterwards Bishop of Chichester.]

See Cat. No. 52; Contin. p. 41; Ath. Oxon. vol. ii. col. 1119. Although this book is mentioned under the above title (omitting the words in brackets) by Wood and Gee, yet I much doubt if it ever was published. It does not exist in the Dublin Univer. or Bodl. Libraries. I believe the only reason for supposing it to have been published is the following passage in Wake's Contin. p. 41, speaking of John Sergeant's "Fifth Catholic Letter." He says: "There is a

very learned person hath undertaken to answer not only that fifth letter, but the other discourses of the Romanists about Tradition in an Historical Discourse concerning Tradition. This we may expect to have published very shortly." If Bp. Williams ever designed such a work, it is probable that he has given us the principal part of his collections for it in his "Examination of the texts cited in proof of the insufficiency of Scripture and necessity of tradition." See No. 376 infra. J. H. T.

97. The Council of Trent examin'd and disprov'd by Catholick C.L. Tradition in the main points in controversie between us and the Church of Rome; with a particular account of the times and occasions of introducing them. Part I. To which a preface is prefixed concerning the true sense of the Council of Trent, and the notion of Transubstantiation. [Anon.] By Edw. Stillingfleet, D.D. Gibson vol. xi. fol. ii. Works vol. vi. pp. 147, 4to Lond. 1688 See Cat. No. 54; Contin. p. 42. Quære, if Part ii. was ever published?

There can be no doubt that Part ii. never was published. It does not appear in the collected edition of Stillingfleet's works, where this first Part is given, vol. vi. p. 423. Bp. Gibson, in his Preservative, vol. ii., Append. p. 103, has printed a portion only of this work, viz. to the end of the fifth point, (pp. 1-74 of the orig. edit.,) but without any intimation of having omitted anything.

The first Part was intended by the author to prove that there was
no Catholic Tradition for the Tridentine doctrines: the second, to give
an account by what steps and degrees and on what occasions those
doctrines and practices came into the Church.

A second edition of this book was published in London the same
year. Stillingfleet's works are edited in a most unsatisfactory manner;
the titles of his controversial tracts abridged without notice, often
with the omission of essential particulars, and not a word of note to
record the circumstances under which they were written.
It is a
disgrace to the Church that the works of such a man have not yet
been collected under a competent editor. J. H. T.

The pagination is very incorrect. One of the treatises in vol. v. is
paged irregularly 1-54, and 333-576. In vol. vi. there is a chasm
from page 224 to 361.

98. An appendix [to the Council of Trent examin'd, Part I.] in C. L. answer to some passages of J. W. of the Society of Jesus, concerning the Prohibition of Scripture in vulgar languages, in the Council of Trent. By Edward Stillingfleet, D.D.

2 sheets 4to

This appendix appears at the end of the second edition of the book, 4to Lond. 1688. There is a copy in Trin. Coll. Library, Dublin; and see Stillingfleet's works, vol. v. p. 511. J. H. T.

The subject of the first Part had already been elaborated by Bishop Hall in The Peace of Rome proclaimed to all the World by her Famous Cardinal Bellarmine, &c. Lond. 1609. Reprinted by the Rev. Peter Hall, Oxford 1838. That of the second Part-the theological history of the Tridentine doctrines - by Chemnitius in his Examen Concilii Tridentini, fol. Genevæ, 1641. Translated into English, and entitled A Discourse and Batterie of the Great Fort of unwritten Traditions; otherwise called an Examination of the Counsell of Trent. Lond. 1582, 4to.
