Dr. Taylor tells us of many inculpable causes of error; 1 The variety of humane understanding,1 what is plain to one, is obscure to another. Grego•ies and Ambroses missal were both laid upon the Altar a whole night, to try which of them God would miraculously approve. By the morrow m••tins, the missal of Gregory was found t•rne in pieces, and thrown upon the Church, and Ambroses found open in a posture to be read. The miracle was expounded, that Ambroses missal was to be received. Dr. Taylor saith, that he would expound it, that Gregory's missal was to be preferred, and to be spread through the world.
