_Discursus Modestus_ (Vol. i., pp. 142, 205.)--Crakanthorp, in his
_Defens. Eccl. Angl._, cap. vi. p. 27. (A.C.L. edition), refers to
_Discur. Compen. de Jesuit. Angl._, p. 15., and quotes from it the
words, "Omnia pro tempore, nihil pro veritate." Is this _Discur.
Compen._ the _Discurs. Modest._? and are these words to be found in
Watson's _Quodlibets_? This would fix the identity of the two books. It
is curious that the only two references made by Bishop Andrews to the
_Discurs. Modest._ (_Respons. ad Apol._, pp. 7. and 117.) are to page
13., and both the statements are found in page 81. of Watson.
Crakanthorp, however (p. 532.), quotes both the works,--_Discurs.
Modestus de Jesuit. Anglic._, and Watson.
From the many different Latin titles given to this book, it seems
certain that it was originally written in English, and that the title
was Latinized according to each person's fancy. There is no copy in the
Lambeth library.
