is not then the breaking of oaths and vows, merely for our own intereft or pleasure, and without any regard to the just claims of our fellow-creatures, is no fin.

Now let the author of the Grounds choose; whether he will deny the facts related; or fet up his own authority against that of the popes, who granted the indulgences referred to; or whether he will vindicate them in those blafphemous grants, and prove they were guilty of no crime, and overtaken with no error.

N. B. Since the description of the monument was printed off, the author of the effay has been affured, by credible accounts from Cheshire, that his conjecture, pag. 153, about the vacant space above the long Latin infcription is confirm'd by the old inhabitants of Macclesfield: who fay, they have heard that that space was formerly filled up with the figure of Roger Legh; and that it was broken off, together with other things belonging to the monument, during the Civil wars, when the oratory was defaced. To be fatisfied of this, the plafter of the wall where the monument is fixed was knock'd off: and the stone appear'd to be cut and hollowed in, as far as the end of the Latin infcription, in the same form as the plate for the lady and her children: there was likewise a place cut in the stone for a label, answering to that on the other fide; and holes in the ftone, with lead in them, for fastening the plate.

The reader is further defired to obferve: that the fubftance of the note at the bottom of pag. 16. ought to have been inferted in the preface and that the Grounds of catholic doctrine is the runningtitle of the fame book, which in the title-page is called A Profef fion of catholic faith, &c.
