N.B. This Sermon to the House of Commons was the occasion of our following controversies, as being the first thing that appeared in Print against Roman Catholics. See Reply to the Defence of the Exposition of the doctrine of the Church of England, Preface. Cf. No. 51 note. It is mentioned in Good Advice to the Pulpits, p. 64.

See Cat. No. 45. Contin. p. 35. Ath. Oxon. vol. ii. col. 1004. A second edition of this valuable book was published in 1706, with the following title: "An apologetical vindication of the Church of England in answer to her adversaries who reproach her with the English heresies and schisms. With an Appendix of Papers relating to the Schisms of the Church of Rome. By George Hickes, D.D. The second edition, revised by the Author. London (Walter Kettilby), 1706." 8vo. Besides the appendix this edition has a large and learned Preface. In the interval between the two editions the author, who had been Dean of Worcester, was deprived of his church preferments, for refusing to take the oaths to King William and Queen Mary. In the second edition he admits the genuineness of the papers attributed to King Charles II. (see No. xii.) which in the first edition he had quoted without expressing any opinion as to their author, King James II. (as he states) having in the mean time shewn him the originals "interlined with the King's (Charles's) own hand." J. H. T.

A Nonjuring divine of uncommon abilities and universal learning, born at Newsham, Yorkshire, 1642, deprived on refusing to take the

oaths 1689, consecrated Bishop of Thetford by the Nonjurors 1694, died 1715.

C. L. 154. The Schism of the Church of England, &c., demonstrated in four Arguments formerly propos'd to Dr. Gunning and Dr. Pearson, the late bishops of Ely and Chester, by two Catholic Disputants in a celebrated conference upon that point.

pp. 10, 4to Oxon. 1688

See Contin. p. 37, where we read, "This little paper with a large title was the other day reprinted at Oxford by the converts there." And Peck says, "Reprinted at Oxford." It originally appeared in the falsified account of the conference between Drs. Gunning and Pearson, on the one side, and two Romish disputants on the other, held in 1657. This account bears the following title:- Schisme unmask't, &c., ut infra. J. H. T.

C. L. 155. The sum of a Conference had between two Divines of the Church of England, and two Catholic Lay-Gentlemen, at the request, and for the satisfaction of three persons of quality, August 8, 1671. Publisht with allowance.

pp. 40, 4to Lond. 1687 See Contin. p. 36. Peck, doubtless by an error of the press, has omitted to mark this book as being on the popish side.

In the Preface from "The Publisher to the Reader," we are told that "in the year 1676, there happen'd a conference about points of Religion, between some Protestant Divines and some Roman Catholic Gentlemen, which, after a long silence, has been now lately set out the second time, in a fine Dress and with a long Preface: this (the publisher says) gave me the curiosity to seek further into those matters, and meeting accidentally with the copy of another conference held in 1671, wherein some of the same persons were concern'd, I thought good to present you with it." It does not appear, however, who the "two divines of the Church of England," engaged in the conference of 1671, or who the "three persons of quality" for whose satisfaction it was intended, were. The other conference alluded to is thus described in the margin: "A relation of a Conference, Apr. 3, 1676,” and is doubtless that which Thomas Burnet, in his Life of the Bishop,
