_ Pari Regifters, from 1308 till 1373, at 
and near. Avignon; and Velutello affirms 
that he confulted them in the beginning of 
the fixreenth century; but they were pers 
haps, only private memorandums of the 
incumbents. Mr. Baftie denies that any 
were kept, even in great cities, in the four- 
teenth century. (Pref. p. xxxiv. Notes, 
P- 13, 31, 32-) Time, the wars of the 
Hugonots, and the ravages of the Licue, 
have deftroyed the papers of the neighbour- 
hocd in queftion. What were thofe which 
were actually in beicg in 1520? 
The firft infitution of them in England 
commenced in 1501, 16th of Henry VIE, 
Uthough the keeping of them was not frilly 
‘njoined till the injunétion of Lord Crom- 
weil, 3oth of Henry VIII; but he being 
ooked upon as am enemy to Pepery, and 
i favourer of innovations in religion, the 
rood intent of them was much milrepre- 
ented, and his order rarely complied with 
»y the clergy. A fecond order cf this 
cind was iffued in the ftcond year of Ed- 
ward VI, 1547, though, perhaps, litt'e 
complied with (Sparrow's Collection of 
4riticles, Go. p. 4, 5,27-) A third order 
is to be met with in the flatutes of the 
National Synod, by Cardinal Pole, about 
1555 (Life of Pole I. 137, 123.) arid the 
lait and molt fuccefsful injunGions in the 
rit, 7th and 39th years of Elizabeth. 
Did Cromwell pick up the hist from 
Cardinal Ximenes, in his Travels about 
the year 1500? The Cardinal died at 
the age of 81, in 1517.
