that the Paiisdan edition of 1520 is intended^
although the title is given incorrectly, as is
more frequently done with contemporary and
well known books than with others. It appears
likewise, that there was no conceahnent in the
affair^ except what arose from the language in
which the book was extant* This concealment
was indeed pretty extensive.
The Irish titular, or Roman catholic. Bishop,
Dr. Doyle, in his examination by the Parlia-
mentary Commissioners on the State of Ireland,
retorted the charge of pecuniary penance on the
Church of England, and referred to Bum's
Ecc. Law, under the word Penance, in proof
of the fact. How far the instances fall short
of his object will be evident on the perusal* I
will give him and his communion farther, and
perhaps better, authority, in the laborious and
impartial Strype^s Lives— of Parker, Book iv.
c* XXV ; of Grindalj Book ii* c. xi. and Appen-
dix, Book ii. No. v ; and of Whitgift, Vol. i.
fol. 7-!, or the Reprints. The ea:puryatory class of Indexes are
very useful in directing protestants at once to those passages,
even in papal ^vriters, from which the papacy receives some of
her most mortal wounds. They were never, howerer, meant to
come into our handsj and Rome has been more prudent than
Spain. There are several other passages marked for obliteration
in the work f^m which I have been quoting, and of which /
have the identical edition referred to.
