A discourse concerning liturgies

Yea many Bishops there were, (and many more consequently of lower rank,) who knew ^uno Letters, and could not so much as write their own Names, but were glad to get others to subscribe for them, even in Councils, where, we may think, such insufficiency would have been ashamed to show it self, if it had not been too common.

1. uHelius Episcopus Hadrianopolitanus definiens subscripsi per Romanum Episcopum Myronum, eo quod nesciam literas. Caiumus Episcopus Phoenicensis definiens subscripsi per Coepiscopum meum Dionysium, propterea quod literas ignorem, Concil. Ephes. 2. in Act. 1. Chalced. Conc. in Crab. Tom. 1. p. 830. So amongst others, Conc. Ephes. 1. Patricius Presbyter de vico Paradioxilo, manu utens Maximi compresbyteri, ob hoc, quod literas ignorarem. Zenon Chorepiscopus—manum accommodavi pro eo ego Flavius Palladius, ob hoc quod praesens dixerit literas see ignorare, in Act. 1. Con. Chalced. in Crab. p. 816. Theodorus Gadorensis per alterius manum, i. e. Aetherii Diaconi, in Gr. can. Aetherius the Deacon subscribed, [Greek or Hebrew], which is likely the cause, tho' not expressed, why those that were present, subscribed by others; of which see instances, Con. Eph. 2. in Cr. p. 831. Con. Constantinop. sub Flaviano, contra Eutych. in Cr. p. 781. & Conc. Eph. 1. in Conc. Chalc. Act. 1. Crab. p. 819, 820. antinus Zenensis literas nescit, collect. Carth. d. 1. n. 133.
