There is a valuable epitome of this document in
Maclaine's Appendix to Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History ,
which is also set out by Canon Perry in his Ecclesiastical
History in vol. iii. S7- It is a long document, with
what Maclaine calls a tedious Preface, and we do not
propose to repeat it at length. It was read before the
Sorbonne, approved, and sent to Archbishop Wake. It
takes the form of a comment on the English Thirty-nine
Articles. Perhaps a few points in it may be usefully
adverted to here. Articles 1-5 the framer of the docu-
ment accepts; tradition as " confirming and illustrat-
ing " doctrine found in the Bible is to be safeguarded
in 6. The Apocrypha is to be Deutero-Canonical. In 10,
Power must mean potentia proximo, since without a
remote power of doing good works it could not be
imputed. He has little to quarrel with in 11 and 12,
Justification and Good Works taken together ; 12 is
harsh, but a matter for theological discussion rather
than a term of communion. In 19 he wishes to add
" under lawful pastors " in the definition of the Church.
