dam impeto. I confess I do not quite understand this, and if I did, I think that Vergerio overlooked the piece in question, and referred to the remaining. But we have some other criteria of the description of facts. The two different dates of 1553 and 1519, with agreeing difference of facts, the two popes addressed, and a princess, reigning, or not reigning, agreeably to the differing dates. Then, in Vergerio's own reprint, of his own recital at least, the names of the very persons who give the character and authority are wanting. And when we make use of those persons, or their names and designations, the matter does not much improve. I have availed myself of the assistance of a well-qualified friend, with facilities which I want; and he informs me, that of the principal person, Busdragus, and of his episcopate, whether Thessalonica or Argolis, he can find no trace in Ughelli's Italia Sacra, or Savonarolo, or Richard's Bibliothèque Sacrée. He is not to be found in any list, Greek or Latin, of the bishops of Thessalonica; and such a see as episcopatus Argolicensis does not appear to exist. From the Index Geographicus Episcopatuum, however, of J. Alb. Fabricius, subjoined to his Sal. Lux Evangel. &c. Hamb.
