much_o superstition_n but_o not_o to_o quarrel_v about_o niaphorus_n let_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o editor_n fancy_n he_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o treatise_n one_a he_o say_v this_o piece_n be_v find_v in_o a_o book_n mark●_n cxlii_o among_o the_o 1._o baroccian_a mss_n in_o that_o bodleian_n library_n at_o oxford_n in_o which_o book_n there_o be_v some_o historical_a treatise_n and_o particular_o a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o patriarch_n of_o constantinople_n under_o niaphorus_n name_n this_o be_v all_o true_a but_o the_o editor_n shall_v have_v observe_v that_o that_o book_n be_v a_o bundle_n of_o several_a treatise_n of_o several_a author_n and_o particular_o that_o this_o tract_n be_v write_v in_o a_o different_a hand_n from_o those_o to_o

further_o say_v that_o niaphorus_n must_v be_v the_o author_n because_o the_o compiler_n may_v be_v suppose_v to_o live_v within_o the_o patriarcha_fw-la of_o constantinople_n and_o about_o the_o

folly_n of_o that_o age._n but_o if_o the_o editor_n will_v have_v show_v himself_o a_o true_a critic_n he_o will_v have_v compare_v the_o matter_n and_o stile_n of_o this_o treatise_n with_o niaphorus_n history_n and_o then_o he_o will_v have_v find_v that_o niaphorus_n have_v a_o better_a pen_n more_o judgement_n and_o sincerity_n than_o this_o collector_n at_o least_o he_o will_v have_v consider_v that_o a_o favourite_n of_o a_o emperor_n who_o mortal_o hate_v the_o latin_n will_v not_o have_v use_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n when_o he_o may_v have_v ●diti●on_n
