Shall prepare the Way for my intended Effay, by exhibiting a Collation of all the ancient Copies of the Articles, both Printed and Manufcript.

Now there are two MS. Copies of the Articles, the one in Latin,the other inEnglish, which were both given, with a vaft Quantity of other MSS. to Corpus Chrifti (commonly call'd Bennet) College in Cambridge, by Archbishop Parker. The Latin Copy was figned Jan. 29. 1562. and the English Copy was figned May 11. 1571. Each of thefe Copies is denoted in the following Collation by the Letters MS. But the Diftinction is apparent notwithstanding. For when the Reference belongs to the Latin Text, the Letters MS. betoken the Latin Copy; but when the Reference belongs to the English Text, thofe Letters betoken the English one.

The Printed Copies are numerous. They are partly Latin, and partly English.

སྣ

One Latin Copy is printed in Octavo by Reginald Wolf. It contains 36 Pages (reckoning the Title, and the Blank on the back fide of it, for two) but the Pages are not numbred. It bears Date 1563. In the Title Page there is a Fruit Tree defcrib'd in a fort of a Target, under which are two Boys; the one feems climbing, the other gathers the Fruit fallen to the Ground; and between the Limbs of the Tree there is a Label with Charitas in it. The Articles are printed in Roman, but the Titles in
