THESE Falfifications bring into my Thoughts a Paffage of Beza, which deferves to be inferted here. That Illuftrious Reformer tells us, That Monluc, Bishop of Valence, complained in the Con ference held at St. Germain in the Year 1561. that the Doctors of the Sorbonne had approved a Book written in Verse by Arthus Defiré, tho' he had falfified the Second Commandment, as it appears from the following Lines.

MR. Matte has made an Experiment of an extraordinary Congelation. He fhews that two Drams of Oil of Tartar per deliquium being put into a Glafs, and mixed with the fame Quantity of the Liquor of Armoniac Salt, do quickly coagulate, infomuch that one may make a Ball of the whole Matter of fuch a Confiftence, that will run upon a Table; and yet neither of thofe Liquors receives any other.

* Mr. Thiers's Differtation was fupprefs'd by a Decree of the Council of State in 1699.

The Letter, written by that Anonymous Author, was condemned in 1697.

ago to prove that the Body of St. Firmin, the Third Bishop of that City, was not in the Cathe dral Church. There is every Year, on the Festival of that Saint, a folemn Proceffion, in which his Shrine is carried by the Chaplains, and exposed to the Veneration of the People. A Tradition of a Thousand Years, and above, is alledged for the Proof of thofe Relicks. The Chapter being refolved to maintain their Pretenfion, have engaged one of their Brethren (Dr. de Leftocq,) to write a Differtation against the Two Authors above-mentioned.

That Library contains, among other Books, a complete Set of all the curious Pieces relating to the particular History of the feveral Countries of Europe, and other Parts of the World. M.

Three Letters have been lately publifhed concerning the Therapeute mentioned by Philo.

The firft Letter is written to Father de Montfaucon, and contains feveral ftrong Objections concerning the Religion of the Therapeute. The fecond is an Anfwer of Father Montfaucon; and the Third, a Reply of the Author of the firft Letter. This Subject is treated learnedly on both Sides, and the Book is worth Reading.
