Van Bleyswijk, in his _Description of Delft_, vol. i. p. 339., says,--

"The Franciscans bought up the work, in order to suppress and

destroy it: it is therefore no wonder that copies of it are

scarce."

Unless you read it, says Professor Ackersdijck, in his _Archief voor

Kerk. Gesch._, you will hardly conceive it possible for any one to write

such a mass of folly and absurdity.
