(Lond. 1707, præf. pp. vii, viii.), refers to these manuscripts in the
following satisfactory manner:--

"Cum, post mortem D. Cosini, de pretio et valore schedarum, quas
reliquit, hæredibus non satis constaret, ... auspieatò tandem
devenit, ut favore, beneficio, et perquam insigni humanitate
reverendi et doctissimi viri, D. Joannis Smith, Sacræ Theologiæ
Professoris Ecclesiæ Dunelmensis Præbendarii, quorum frequens
hac de re commercium literarum, occasione data, (opportunè
intercedente prænobili et reverendo, D. Georgio Whelero, equite
aurato, et Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ Presbytero, ejusdem quoque
Ecclesiæ Cathedralis Prebendario), habui, duos libellos (tanquam
prætiosas tabulas ab isthoc infami naufragio servatas) a D.
Cosino, dum in Galliâ exularet, Anglieè conscriptos jam
possidieam: quarum unus _Vindicias Ordinatianum Ecclesieæ
Anglicanæ_ contra exceptiones et cavillationes cujusdem
Pontificii sacerdotis e gente nostra, alter _Responsionem ad
Epistolam_ nobili fæminæ Anglæ ab alio saccrdote _pro defensione
communionis sub unicâ specie administrandæ_ inscriptam,
complectitur," &c.

I should still be glad to add to this long note the followng Queries:--

1. Can any of your readers kindly inform me whether Cosin's two letters
to Dr. Geo. Morley are still in existence, either in MS. or in print?

2. Whether there be any fuller or more authentic account of the
controversy than that in these MS. preserved by the care of Dr. Smith?

3. Whether Cosin wrote any letter to the Prior _later_ than that of July
