^{page 295 note [g]} “Christianos se esse, et doctrinam apostolicam venerari responderunt. Interrogati per ordinem de sacræ fidei articulis; de substantia quidem supremi medicirecta, de cjus vero remediis, quibus humanæ infirmitati mederi dignatur, id est, divinis sacramentis, perversa dixerunt; sacrum baptisma, eucharistiam, conjugium detestantes.”

The words printed in Italics in this extract are not noticed by Lord Lyttelton.

The passage is rendered as follows by Rapin, Collier, and Dr. Henry.

By Rapin; being questioned upon the articles of the creed, their replies were very orthodox as to the Trinity, and Incarnation.

By Collier in Ecclesiastical History, v. i. p. 347. They answered, that they were Christians, and that the doctrine of the Apostles was their rule of faith.

Bat being thrown off this general answer, and questioned more particularly about the creed, they seemed sufficiently orthodox about the Trinity and Incarnation.

By Dr. Henry, in History of England, vol. III. p 241. Upon a more particular inquiry it was found, that they denied several of the received doctrines of the church, as purgatory prayers for the dead, and the invocation of saints.
