he durst not despise them he did believe it not necessary to make a party therein Our Author shews what pains St. Prosper and the Popes Xystus and Leo took to refute or to destroy Pelagianism and Semi-pelagianism It was in the same time that Vincent of Lerins made his Commonitory to wit three years after the Council of Ephesus He is suspected to be the Author of the objections that St. Prosper hath refuted under the Title of Objectiones Vincentianae this Commonitory was Printed lately in 12. at Cambridge with the Notes of Mr. Baluze and the Book of St. Augustine of Heresies Vsher in this same Chapter relates the Ravages that the Scotch and the Picts committed in England the arrival of the Saxons into this Island the manner how they became Masters on 't and the other events of that time Before that these disasters happened in England a Monk named Faustus retired from hence into the Narbonick Gaul where he became Abbot of Lerins and afterwards Bishop of Riez after Maximus whom he also succeeded in the Abbey of Lerins He assisted at a Council which was held at Rome towards the end of the year Cccclxii where it was concluded that every year there should be a Council held amongst the Gauls which should be convocated by the Archbishop of Arles There was assembled one in this City which ordered Faustus to express his Sentiments touching the matter of Grace and another at Lyons by the order of which he added something to what he had already writ because some new Errours had been discovered These Errours are those to which the Divines of Marseilles gave the Name of Predestinarian Heresie that some maintain to have been a real Heresie and others the opinions of St. Augustine We have no more of the Acts of these two Synods but the work of Faustus subsisteth yet It is intituled de Gratia libero arbitrio directed to Leontius Archbishop of Arles and very clearly containeth Semi-pelagianism Erasmus got it first printed at Basil in M.D.XXVIII and it hath been since inserted in the 8 th Tome of the Library of the Fathers Faustus sent the opinions of the second Council of Arles to a Predestinarian Priest named Lucidus to oblige him to retract his Errours and to subscribe this Doctrine of the Council His Letter to Lucidus is still to be ●ad and the answer of this Priest directed to the Bishops assembled at Arles where he declares that he condemns the Sentiments of those that believe that after the fall of the first man Free-will was entirely extinct That Jesus Christ died for all men that some are destined to death and others to life that from Adam to Jesus Christ no Pagan hath been saved by the first Grace of God to wit by the law of nature because they have lost the free Will in our first Father That the Patriarchs and Prophets and the greatest of Saints have remained in Paradice untill the time of Redemption This is almost a full Abridgment of the Book of Faustus Some learned men have maintained that Faustus had passed his Commission and that many of those that had assisted at the Councils of Arles and Lions had not subscribed his Book It is nevertheless difficult to believe that a Bishop that was very much esteem'd as Faustus was as it appears by the Letters of Sidonius Apollinaris Bishop of Clermont in Auvergne who makes his Elogy in several places and by Gennadus who praiseth this work it is I say difficult enough to conceive how he could have the boldness to attribute to a Council opinions which were so odious to the greatest part of 'em and to think the Members of this Council could not shew their Resentment thereof Neither do those who say that Faustus exceeded his Commission give any reason only that they cannot persuade themselves that there were so many Semi-Pelagians amongst the Gauls In our Author are the different Judgments that divers learned men have made of Faustus and the greatest part of 'em are not very favourable to him Baronius too speaketh ill enough of him So that it happeneth now to the Semi-Pelagians what did in times past to the Pelagians which is that those who believ'd their principal Tenets condemned them only because those who have been more considerable than themselves have formerly condemned them The Book of Faustus is not unknown it being carried to Constantinople where mens minds were divided concerning the Doctrine it contained Some maintained it was Orthodox and others Heretical as it appeareth by a Letter of Possessar an African Bishop who was then at Constantinople and who writ of it to Pope Hormisda in the year DXX to know his thoughts thereupon Persons of the first quality amongst which were Vitalianus and Iustinian who hath been since Emperour desired to be instructed what Sentiments the Church of Rome had of it Hormisda disapproved the Book of Faustus and sent them to consult these of St. Augustin of Predestination and Perseverance There was then at Constantinople a Monk named Iohn Maxence who writ an answer to the Letter of Hormisda where he compareth the opinions of St. Augustin and those of Faustus and desperately censures Possessar and those that maintained that the Book of Faustus was Orthodox It appears by that that Possessar was a Semi-Pelagian and consequently that the Councils of Africk had not been able as yet to submit all the Bishops of this Church to their Decisions The Vandals were become Masters of Africk during the heat of the Pelagian Controversies and as they were Arians they drove away a great number of Bishops that followed the decisions of the Council of Nice Thrasamond King of the Vandals had sent 60 of them into exile from the Province of Byzacene into Sardinia They were consulted from the East upon the Controversies of Grace rather to have a publick Declaration of their opinions than to draw instructions from them seeing those that did write to them had already taken party and condemned in their Letters not only the Pelagians but also the Books of Faustus Fulgentius Bishop of Esfagues answered in the name of the others and exposed the sentiments of St. Augustin in a Letter and in a particular Book directed to one Paul a Deacon The same Fulgentius made also other works upon this matter whereof several places may be seen in our Author He had composed seven Books against the two of Faustus of Grace and Free-Will but they are lost These African Bishops returned to their Churches in the year DXXIII which was that of the Death of Thrasamond as Victor of Tonneins informeth us in his Chronicle But Fulgenius had refuted Faustus before he had left Sardinia whence it followeth as well as from the Letter of Possessar that Binius hath not well related the third Council of Arles whose opinions Faustus had expounded in the year DXXIV. But this is not the only fault he hath committed he hath corrected or rather corrupted as he thought

said also that Usher was a Bishop that he had made because that he had appointed him so without being sollicited to it by any person this Election was made in 1620. Returning into Ireland sometime after he was oblig'd to discourse some persons of Quality of the Roman Religion to administer to 'em the Oath of Allegiance and Supremacy that they had refused to the Priest this discourse is inserted in his Life he remarks the form of this Oath is compos'd of two parts the one positive in which they acknowledge the King is Soveraign in all cases whatsoever and the other negative in which they declare they acknowledge no Jurisdiction or Authority of any strange Prince in the estates of the King he says afterwards in regard of the first part that the Scripture commands that we submit our selves to the Higher Powers and that we ought to acknowledge that the power the Kings have whatsoever it may be is Supream as they are Kings upon which he cites this verse of Martial Qui Rex est Regem maxime non habeat That one ought well to distinguish the power of the Keys from that of the Sword and the King of England does not exact an acknowledgment of the same power that is possess'd by the Bishops but nevertheless the Kings may interest themselves with Ecclesiastical Affairs in as much as it regards the body since according to the Church of Rome 't is the Magistrates duty to punish Hereticks For that which regards the second part of the Oath where it 's said that we shall not own any strange power as having any Iurisdiction Superiority Preheminence Ecclesiastical or Temporal in the Kingdom He says that if St. Peter were still alive he would willingly own that the King had this Authority in Ireland and that he us'd the same in regard of all the Apostles that the Apostleship was a personal dignity which the Apostles have not left hereditary to any but nevertheless suppose it was so he sees not why St. Peter should leave it to his successors rather than St. Iohn who outliv'd all the Apostles that there was no reason to believe that St. Peter shou'd leave the Apostolical Authority to the Bishops of Rome rather than to those of Antioch this last Church being founded before the first The King writ to Vsher to thank him for this Discourse which produced so good effect He afterwards went into England by the King's order to collect the Antiquities of the Churches of England Scotland and Ireland and publish'd two years after that his Book intituled De Primordiis Ecclesiarum Britannicarum 'T was in that time that the King made him Arch-Bishop of Armagh The Winter following he caused to be brought before him the Order for Toleration of the Roman Catholicks and the Lord Falkland then Deputy for the King in Ireland convocated and assembled the whole Nation to settle this Affair But the Bishops call'd by the Primate oppos'd it with much heat as may be seen by a Remonstrance sign'd by ten Bishops besides the Primate and which is in the 28th page They also spoke of raising some Forces by the Joynt consent both of Catholicks and Protestants to hinder any differences that might arise in the Kingdom the Protestants refus'd to consent thereto and wou'd not hearken to discourse the Primate thereupon in the Castle of Dublin altho' his reasonings were founded upon the principal Maxims of the Government of Ireland and maintain'd by Examples drawn from the Antient and Modern Histories of that Kingdom During the time our Primate stayed in Ireland after he had performed the Duties of his Charge which he acquitted with extraordinary care he employed the remaining part of his time to study the fruits whereof were to be seen in 1631. in the first Latin book which he ever published in Ireland 't is his History of Godescalch Monk of the Abby of Orbais who lived in the beginning of the 6th Age there was soon made a small abridgment of the History of Pelagianism which was then extreamly dispersed through Spain and England when he comes to the History of Godescalch he explains his Doctrine and shews by Flodoard and other Authors of that time that those sentiments whereof Hincmar Archbishop of Rhemes and Rabanus Archbishop of Maynce accused him and which were condemn'd by their Authority in two Councils were the same that St. Remigius Archbishop of Lyons and the Clergy of his Diocess defended openly many opinions and odious consequences according to Vsher were fathered upon Godescalch because that this Monk who maintained the opinions of St Augustine about Predestination and Grace did not at all understand ' em Ioannes Scotus Erygenus wrote a treatise against him in which are to be found the principal heads of Vsher but Florus Deacon of the Church of Lions answers it and censures him in the Name of all the Diocess Vsher gave an abridgment of this Censure as also of divers other treatises as that of St Remigius Pudentius Bishop of Troy Ratramus Monk of Corbi who writ against Scotus for his defence of Godescalch there had been two Councils which established the doctrine of this Monk and condemn'd that of Scotus 'T is true that Hincmar published a very large Book against these Councils which he dedicated to Charles le Chauve as Flodoard reports who shews briefly what it is that this Book treats of but that did not at all hinder St. Remigius and those of his Party to convocate another Council at Langres where they confirm'd the Doctrine established in the former Councils and condemn'd that new one of Scotus These Controversies were still agitated in the National Council of the Gauls where nothing was concluded altho' Barancus and others voted that Godescalch should be condemn'd there On the contrary Vsher maintains that in an Assembly which was in a small time after his Sentiments were approv'd of Nevertheless this wicked Godescalch was condemn'd by the Council of Maynce to perpetual Imprisonment where he was severely treated because he would never retract his Errours There are still two Confessions of his Faith by which one may see there are many things attributed to him which he never believ'd after having made a faithful report of the Sentiments of this Monk and those of his Adversaries Vsher concludes that it were better for men to be silent upon these matters than to scandalize the weak in proposing to 'em such Doctrines from which they may draw bad consequences There has been adds Mr. Parr and always will be different Opinions upon the great and abstruse Questions of Predestination and Free Will which nevertheless may be tolerated in the same Church provided those who maintain these divers Opinions have that Charity for one another which they ought to have That they condemn them not publickly That they abstain from mutual Calumnies and that they publish no Invectives against those who are not of the same Sentiments To return to the Life of our Prelate who altho' he

4. What he hath remarked upon the Sea-Water which is on the side of Berkelse-Sea is also very Curious The bottom of the Sea is very marshy in that place In Winter it appears very clear in the middle of Summer it begins to whiten and in the midst are seen as it were small green Clouds Mr. Lewenhook having filled a Glass with this Cloudy Water and stirred it after having let it settle a whole day hath remarked in it as it were Strings of a Spiral Figure and thick as Hairs composed of small green G●obules where were also an Infinity of small Animals round or oval figur'd which were of different Colour and moved on all sides but very slowly and which appeared a thousand times less than the least of those which are seen in Cheese Fruits or in Moldiness 5. Finally having exhal'd the Solution of Salt he found that the Saline Particles were either Round Pyramidal or Quadrangular and very polished An Extract of an English Iournal containing some Observations made upon the Salts and Oyls of mix'd Bodies MR. Coxes who made these Observations finds much probability in the Opinion of Vanhelmont who saith That the variety of Brimstone commonly makes the diversity of Species in the Mixt and that the most considerable Changes are made by the Separation of a Sulphurous Nature and by the Introduction of a new one This Brimstone is not a simple Body but inflamable and in form of Oyl This Oyl which is drawn commonly with the Water includes the principal Qualities of the mix'd But the Salts as well fix'd as volatile restore the Earth and Water to their elementary Simplicity if they retain not something of this Specifick Oyl So the fix'd or volatile Salts are different among themselves but proportionably as they yet retain some mixture of these Oyls Let one take some volatile Salt whatever let it be sublimated in a Vessel of Glass high enough for a gentle Heat let this Operation be reiterated several times it shall be found that there still remaineth some Oyl at the bottom of the Vessel and the Salts being deprived of this Oyl shall become very homogenious But because it is hard to rule the Fire so justly that no Oyl shall be mixed with Salts they may all be reduced to a certain Simplicity by a more easie way Spirit of Salt well rectified must be poured upon a certain quantity of volatile Salt a little purified When there shall be no more Ebullition and that the Salt shall be enough the Phlegm must be separated from it which is done with a mild Heat This Phlegm will carry with it some portion of the volatile Salt Sublimate what remains and you shall have good Armoniack Salt Mix it with an equal quantity of good Alcali Salt well calcin'd or pour upon it good and strong Grounds of an Alcali because the volatile Salts do not so well mix with the fixed as the Acids do the least degree of Heat shall sublimate the volatile Salt deprived of all its Oyl and by this means all the volatile Salts are reduced to certain common Proprieties What all these Artificial Operations do is yet more easily effected in the Air which is full of volatile Salts which are sublimated from Subterranean Places from Plants from Animals The Air depriveth these Salts of their Oyl but being dissolved in the Rain or in the Dew and carried in Vegetables they are specified by the other Principles tho' they may be easily reduc'd by Nature or Art to their first Simplicity The same Uniformity is the Spirits that have the taste of Wine which are nothing but the most subtle Oyl of Vegetables which are as it were pounded by Fermentation into lesser Branches than the Oyl For before the Fermentation there is Oyl drawn from it but not Winy Spirits after the Fermentation there remaineth a little Oyl and even after the Fermentation of a Plant when you draw the Oyl from it you 'll scarcely have any thing of the Winy Spirit When this Spirit takes with it some part of this Oyl whose Branches remain whole it puts difference among the Spirits but when after several Digestions or reiterated Distillations these oleagenous parts are cut into lesser Branches or that the degree of Heat which raiseth the Winy Spirits cannot raise those grosser Oyls what difference soever there was in the whole Bodies these Spirits became very homogenious and this is seen in changing the Oyls of Vegetables into a Winy Spirit which is done in several manners Put upon an Ounce of the essential Oyl of a Vegetable two or three Pounds of the Spirit of Wine well dephlegmed the Spirit immediately by a simple Agitation devoureth this Oyl and changeth it in its Nature New Experiments drawn from the English Iournal ONE of the principal Vertues of Salts which are drawn from Plants is to make the Image of these Plants to revive and appear in all its Beauty It hath been doubted a long time whether the Thing can be done Some do even as yet doubt thereof But the Experiments which have been made in France Italy Denmark and elsewhere suffer us no more to doubt on 't Mr. Coxes hath lately made some in England upon this Subject and he writeth that having drawn a great deal of Salt of Fern and dissolved a part thereof by the damp Air after having dryed it the rest of the Grounds being filtred became as red as pure Blood This colour denoted that there remained many Sulphurous Parts He put this Solution into a great Vessel or Bottle of Glass where after it had rested five or six Weeks a great part of the Salt fell to the bottom and became browner whereas the upper remained white And then it was that upon the Surface of this Salt there was seen to rise up a Fern in great quantity When the Fern was burned it was as yet betwixt dry and green So the Salt was as it were Tartarous and Essential being dryed by a great Fire it diminished much in Weight and became whiter because there had been before some Oyl and some Acid. Having mixed equal Parts of these Ashes which came from the North and which are called in English Pot-Ashes with Armoniack Salt there arose immediately a volatile Salt and some time after he saw appear a Forest of Pines Deals and of another kind of Trees which he knew not An Extract of a Letter of Mr. Hugens of the Royal Academy of Sciences to the Author of the Iournal of the Learned concerning the Catoptrick Glass of Mr. Newton I Send you the Figure and Description of Mr. Newton's Telescope As to my Opinion which you desire to know touching this new Invention though I have not as yet seen its effect I think I may say it is Fine and Ingenious and that it will succeed provided there be Matter found for the Concave Looking-Glasses which may be capable of a lively and even polishing as that of Glass which I do not despair of The Advantages of
