CHAP. IX.

Pag. 68. lin. 6. The Roman Laws were banisht the Realm.] I sup∣pose there may be some word missing or mistaken in the Latin, à regno jussae sunt leges Romanae: But that which follows, the forbidding of the Books, obliged me to that interpretation: for why should the Books of those Laws be prohibited, if the Laws themselves were (as the Latin reading seems to import) ordered and ratified by the Realm. Where∣fore I suppose some mistake, or omission, and for à regno jussae, read à regno pulsae or exulare jussae, &c. unless you would like to have it thus rendred, commanded out of the Kingdom: which I confess would be a very odd unusual construction.
