PROPOSALS For Printing by Subscription Bibliotheca Patrum OR A New Ecclesiastical History Containing an Account of the Authors of the several Books of the Old and New Testament Of the Lives and Writings of the Primitive Fathers and other Ecclesiastical Writers An Abridgment of their Works with a Catalogue and their different Editions and Censures upon them determining which are Genuine and which are Spurious As also a Judgment upon their Style and Doctrine and a Compendious History of the Councils Written in French with great Integrity by the very Learned and Judicious LEWIS ELLIES DU PIN Doctor of the Sorbon Translated into English and carefully Reviewed by Mr. WILLIAM WOTTON B. D. who hath very much improved the Author by making proper Remarks and Notes throughout the whole Work The Two First Volumes now in the Press containing the Authors that flourished in the four first Ages of the Church of which see the particulars in the Table here annexed THE Works of the Learned and Judicious L. Ellies du Pin Doctor of the Sorbon have met with that Universal Approbation in the World that several Gentlemen have been desirous to have them put into English for the Publick Benefit The Author is a Person of that Integrity and Judgment and so far from suffering himself to be carried away by a Spirit of Bigottry so peculiar to the Writers of that Communion that no one perhaps has so freely laid open the Forgeries of their old Liturgies Decretals Spurious Works ascribed to the Fathers c. as himself But what deserves a particular Commendation he has in his Prolegomena generously and learnedly defended the Authority of the Holy Scriptures against all the Attempts of Spinosa Hobbes and Father Simon The First and Second Volumes are now almost Printed and the Translation has been Revised by Mr. William Wotton B. D. who has made Remarks upon several passages and many Additions which are Printed in separate Paragraphs not intermixing them with the Original A Paper of this Nature will not admit a recital of all the advantageous Characters that have been given this Learned Author by several Foreign Divines of the Reformed Religion we shall therefore content our selves with setting down some of many honourable Testimonies he has received from some of the most Eminent Members of our own Church The Bishop of Worcester in his Treatise entituled The Doctrine of the Trinity and Transubstantiation compar'd p. 33. speaking of the Liturgies of St. Peter St. Paul and St. Matthew quoted by the Papist the Protestant answers Do you not know that these are rejected as supposititious by your own Writers And a very late and Learned Author Du Pin in the Margin hath given full and clear Evidences of it And a little after He proves speaking of Du Pin St. Peter ' s Liturgy to be later than the Sacramentary of St. Gregory and so can prove nothing for the first 600 years and the Aethiopick Liturgy or St. Matthews he shews to be very late that of St. James he thinks to have been some time before the Five General Councils but by no means to have been St. James ' s. Dr. Cave in his Prolegomena to the Historia Literaria p. 1 2. Ex eo tempore duo Scriptores Galli idem Argumentum ex parte tractarunt viz. Lud. Ellies du Pin Facultaris Sorbonicae Theologus qui Auctorum Ecclesiasticorum novam Bibliothecam Gallico sermone Edidit Paris 1686. 80. Vir quantum ex iis quae Latinè Edidit perspicere licet Gallica enim haud satis capio Doctus Candidus Antiquitatis Ecclesiasticae cultor diligentissimus Alter Casim Oudin c. Mr. Fleetwood in the Preface to the Life and Death of the Blessed Virgin p. 16. We are more obliged to Monsieur du Pin a late French Author both for his Candour and good Nature whose words I will set down c. Again p. 22. But because the aforementioned Ellis du Pin Doctor of the Sorbon and at present in great Repute with the Church of France hath dispatched this business effectually c. I shall take leave to transcribe a short Chapter of his c. Again p. 29. speaking of Dionysius the Areopagite that the Books which go under his Name are spurious But du Pin says he has done the Work effectually and therefore I will not grudge the pains of making an Abstract of his Judgment too long to insert Mr. Gee in his Veteres Vindicati p. 63. No body I mean no Learned-Man believes St. Peter ' s Liturgy c. I could furnish you with more intrinsick Arguments against it and against the rest which labour under the same or worse Absurdities out of your own to omit our Authors the Learned and Judicious du Pin hath gathered enough against it c. Many more such Testimonials might be collected out of the Writings of our Clergy but these we hope are sufficient to convince the World of the Value of this Excellent Book and of the Integrity of its Learned Author PROPOSALS I. THAT this Book shall be Printed in Folio upon the same Paper and with the same Character as these Proposals The Two Volumes containing about One Hundred and Seventy Sheets II. The Price to Subscribers of both Volumes to be Thirteen Shillings in Sheets Five Shillings whereof to be paid in Hand Five Shillings more at the delivery of the First Volume and the rest at the delivery of the Second III. And for an Encouragement to Subscribers Any Gentleman who shall Subscribe for Six Books shall have a Seventh Gratis which will reduce the Price to Eleven Shillings and Two pence IV. The Price to any other than a Subscriber shall be no less than Fourteen Shillings in Sheets and there are so few Printed that none will be left to be sold under hereafter V.
