P. We have such common historical Evidence and Tradition, as you have for your Acts of Parliament when the Parliament is ended. The present Governors preserve them.

R. Very good: It is the Office of the Governors to take that Care, but therein they are not indefectible and infallible; but they and the published Laws, and the notice of the whole Land, and the Judicial proceedings by them in the Courts of Judicature make up a Certain Historical Evidence. And so it may be in your Case: And when you have talked your utmost, you can show no more. And have not we the same Writings of Fathers and Councils as you have? You dare not deny it. Why then may not we know what is in them as well as you? And I pray you tell me, Whether your Antiquaries, such as Albaspinaeus, Sixtus Senensis, Petavius, Sirmondus, &c. do prove what Cyprian, Optatus, Augustine, &c. held, by the judgement of the Pope or Councils, or by citing the words of the Authors themselves? And do Crab, Binnius, Surius, Caranza, &c. prove what one Council said by the authority of another, or by the Records themselves, yet visible to all?
