the_o other_o oriental_n i_o have_v find_v these_o history_n not_o to_o be_v always_o sincere_a and_o exact_a and_o therefore_o what_o i_o here_o take_v from_o galanus_n touch_v the_o armenian_n i_o shall_v accompany_v with_o some_o reflection_n the_o same_o author_n have_v add_v note_n upon_o his_o history_n but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o emissary_n and_o write_v at_o rome_n we_o must_v not_o

the_o armenian_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v then_o i._o that_o the_o armenian_a history_n translate_v by_o galanus_n mention_v a_o certain_a instrument_n of_o reunion_n betwixt_o the_o roman_a and_o the_o armenian_a church_n under_o the_o emperor_n constantine_n and_o tyridates_n king_n of_o the_o armenian_n sylvester_n then_o possess_v the_o see_v of_o rome_n and_o gregory_n who_o be_v the_o great_a patriarch_n of_o the_o armenian_n possess_v that_o of_o armenia_n but_o beside_o that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o that_o instrument_n which_o appear_v to_o be_v fabulous_a it_o be_v probable_a that_o that_o piece_n as_o to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o have_v be_v forge_v in_o the_o follow_a age_n especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o innocent_a iii_o when_o the_o armenian_a

know_v ecclesiastical_a history_n and_o shall_v consider_v the_o great_a extent_n of_o jurisdiction_n that_o pope_n sylvester_n take_v to_o himself_o in_o that_o instrument_n ii_o all_o man_n know_v that_o the_o armenian_n be_v of_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o monophysite_n who_o acknowledge_v but_o one_o nature_n in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o as_o we_o have_v already_o observe_v when_o we_o treat_v of_o the_o jacobite_n that_o be_v but_o a_o imaginary_a heresy_n consist_v only_o in_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o word_n and_o yet_o it_o occasion_n great_a dispute_n at_o this_o day_n among_o the_o

and_o in_o respect_n the_o armenian_n have_v never_o examine_v that_o difficulty_n they_o have_v continue_v in_o the_o general_a term_n of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o symbol_n into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n galanus_n who_o mention_n some_o of_o their_o synod_n and_o the_o dispute_v they_o have_v have_v with_o the_o greek_n take_v no_o notice_n at_o all_o of_o that_o but_o only_o that_o they_o mingle_v no_o water_n with_o the_o wine_n in_o celebrate_v the_o liturgy_n and_o that_o they_o consecrate_v in_o unleavened_a bread_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o latin_n what_o the_o same_o brerewood_n affirm_v concern_v purgatory_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o what_o we_o have_v mention_v before_o of_o the_o greek_n and_o other_o oriental_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o they_o deny_v that_o the_o sacrament_n have_v the_o virtue_n of_o confer_v grace_n be_v the_o chimaera_n of_o some_o scholastic_a doctor_n who_o imagine_v that_o the_o oriental_n be_v acquaint_v with_o all_o the_o nicety_n of_o the_o latin_n nor_o do_v i_o think_v it_o true_a that_o the_o armenian_n refuse_n to_o

it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o enlarge_v upon_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o armenian_n who_o be_v not_o latinize_v since_o there_o have_v be_v enough_o say_v of_o that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o

of_o the_o face_n once_o and_o the_o arm_n up_o to_o the_o elbow_n to_o wash_v the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o head_n and_o the_o foot_n once_o and_o the_o tradition_n of_o mahomet_n ordain_v the_o
