[* The titles of nearly twenty works relating to Sherlock's Trinitarian
Controversy will be found _s. v._ in the _Bodleian Catalogue_, vol.
iii. p. 462. See also Watt's _Bibliotheca Britannica_.

+ A long account of Mr. Papin is given in Rose's as well as in
Chalmers's _Biographical Dictionary_.

++ Sir George Treby was Chief Justice of Common Pleas in 1697.

Sec. Bishop Trelawney, it appears, suspended Dr. Arthur Bury from the
rectorship of Exeter College for some heterodox notions in his work,
_The Naked Gospel_. The affair was carried by appeal from the King's
Bench to the House of Lords, when Bish
