Treatise Touching the Pretended Divorce of Henry the Eighth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
As nature has given you a right to the inheritance of my estate, a competency sufficient to support the quality of a gentleman, so I design, as a mark of true paternal affection, to add to it my small collection of books; that, by adorning your mind with useful study, you may deserve that character more from yourself than ancestors. Amongst the rest I leave you this Manuscript. A particular good fortune threw it into my hands, which, had it nothing but the subject to recommend it, would be no inconsiderable value to a Catholic, because it lets him see 'twas Interest and not Religion began the schism, and that 'tis truly Conscience and not Obstinacy makes him, by still adhering to the ancient Church, stand obnoxious to so many laws. But, that your esteem may equal its value, I have thought proper to acquaint you first what I have found concerning the Author, next what reason there is to believe this Copy authentick, and lastly to whose kindness I am obliged for it, and upon what conditions I had leave to transcribe it.

[This note, which seems like a continuation of the previous marginal references made by the transcriber of the Eyston Manuscript, appears in the other copies of the manuscript and is therefore probably to be ascribed to the author.

page 261 note a [This word is distinctly written eath in the Eyston MS. and in N1 which generally agrees with it. The whole line between temporal and ready has been omitted by an oversight in copying in N2, which was therefore not available for correcting it. But there can bo little doubt of the reading.]

page 282 note a This detestable and heinous impiety was committed at St. Mary Magdalen's College in Oxford, upon Whitson eve, in the year 1547, by one Thomas Bickley, then a junior fellow of that house, but shortly after preferred to be chaplain or preacher to King Edward the Sixth, and in the year 1585 promoted to the bishopric of Chi. chester by Queen Elizabeth. See more of this man, and the disorders committed at Oxford, in Wood's Historia et Antiquitates Uniyersitatis Oxoniensis, lib. 1mo p. 271, and his Athenæ Oxonienses, volume the first, p. 613.—Charles Eyston.
page 286 note a The words of the original charter of King Ethelbert, given to the monastery of St. Augustine, are these : In nomine domini nostri Jesu Christi notum sit omnibus tarn præsentibus quam futuris Quod Ego Ethelbertus Dei Gratia Rex Anglorum per evangelicum genitorem meum Augustinum de Idolatra factus Christicola tradidi Deo per ipsum antistitem aliquam partem terræ Juris mei sub oriental! muro civitatis Doroberniæ, ubi scilicetper eundem in Christo institutorem Monasterium in honore principum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli condidi et cum ipsa terra et cum omnibus quæ ad ipsum monasterium pertinent perpetua libertate donavi, adeo ut nee mihi nee alicui successorum meorum regum nee ulli unquam potestati sive ecclesiasticæ sive seculari quicquam inde liceat usurpare sed in ipsius Abbatis sint omnia libera ditione. Si quis vero de hacdonatione nostra aliquid minuerit aut irritumfacere temptaverit, auctoritate beati Episcopi Gregorii nostrique Apostoli Augustini simul et nostra imprecatione sit hie segregatus ab omni sanctse ecclesiæ communione et in die judicii ab omni electorum societate, etc. Actum est hoc in civitate Doroberniæ Anno ab Incarnatione Christi 605.
