"Transcript of several papers of Bishop Cosin's sent to me by
Dr. J. Smith, Prebendary of Durham.--T.S."

2. At p. 77. the title-page is given thus:

"A Review of a Letter sent from F.P.R. to a Lady (whom he would

paper given him for the defence of the Church of England in the
Ordination of Priests."

To this are appended the respective forms of ordering priests used in
the Church of England and in the Roman Church.

concerning the Ordination of Priests," &c. This is a kind of preface,
which contains the first paper that was given to the Prior, dated June
14, 1645; also another paper, bearing date July 11, 1645, but ending
abruptly in the middle of a sentence, and having written below it
(probably in Dr. J. Smith's hand) the following note:

"The rest of this is not yet found, and that which is written
thus far is not in the Bishop's own hand, but the copy is very
fair."

_date_ as the before-mentioned fragment, but it begins by complaining of
the tone of expression in a letter evidently received from the Prior
