ion from Tertullian in the Comment on the eight of those
Aphorisms,

"Certum est quia impossibile est."--p. 199.

is from the _De Carne Christi_, cap. v.

Aphorism iv., p. 227.:

"In wonder all philosophy began."

See Plato's _Theaetetus_ Sec. 32., p. 155. Gataker on Antonin, i. 15.
Plutarch _de EI Delph_. cap. 2. p. 385 B. Sympos, v. 7., p. 680 C.
Aristot. _Metaph_. 1. 2. 9.

In the "Sequelae" annexed to this Aphorism, it is said of Simonides (p.
230.), that

"_In the fortieth day_ of his mediation the sage and philosophic
poet abandoned the problem [of the nature of God] in despair."

Cicero (_de nat. Deor._ i. 22. Sec. 60.) and Minucius Felix (_Octav._ 13.)
do not specify the number of days during which Simonides deferred his
answer to Hiero.

Aphorism x. On Original Sin. (note, p. 252.) [Greek: sunetois phonun],
&c., from Pindar, _Olymp._ ii. 85. (152.)

Conclusion, p. 399.:

"_Evidences_ of Christianity! I am weary of this word," &c.

See the remarks on this passage in Archbishop Whately's _Logic_,
Appendix III., near the end.

The quotation from Apuleius, at the end of the book (p. 403.), is from
the _Metamorphos._, i. 3.

MINOR NOTES.

_Capture of Henry VI._ (Vol. ii., p. 181.).--There are several errors in
this historical note. The name of the Dean of Windsor was Manning, not
{229} "Manting;" "Brungerly" should be Bungerley. One of the Talbots, of
Bashall Hall, could never be "High Sheriff for the West Riding," as the
Ridings of Yorkshire never had distinct sheriffs; neither was he sheriff
of the county. The particulars of the king's capture are thus related in
the chronicle called Warksworth's _Chronicle_, which has been printed by
the Camden Society:--

"Also, the same yere, kynge Henry was takene byside a howse of
religione [i.e. Whalley] in Lancashyre, by the mene of a blacke
monke of Abyngtone [Abingdon] in a wode called Cletherwode [the
wood of Clitheroe], besyde Bungerly hyppyngstones, by Thomas
Talbott, sonne and heyre to sere Edmunde Talbot of Basshalle,
and Jhon Talbott, his cosyne, of Colebry [i.e. Salebury, in
Blackburn], withe other moo; which discryvide [him] beynge at
his dynere at Wadyngton halle: and [he was] carryed to London on
horsebake, and his leges bownde to the styropes."

I have substituted the word "discryvide" for "disseyvide," as
