[Footnote 1: This curious instruction was transcribed (I
believe) from the Vatican archives, by Odoricus Raynaldus,
in his Continuation of the Annals of Baronius, (Romae, 1646
- 1677, in x. volumes in folio.) I have contented myself
with the Abbe Fleury, (Hist. Ecclesiastique. tom. xx. p. 1 -
8,) whose abstracts I have always found to be clear,
accurate, and impartial.]
