In the year 1220. certain Monkes at Paris ſet out a Goſpel full of all filthineſſe and blaſphemy, Rec. hive of Rome, p.30. naming it, Evangelium aeternum. And in the book called Conformitates S. Franciſci, made in the year 1389. it is written, that the ſame book is better then the Goſpel, and S. Francis ſet in Lucifers chair above Angels.
