LETTER CCXXI. A Letter from the most Reverend James Usher Arch-bishop of Armagh, to the Learned Johannes Gerardus Vossius. (Book 221)
Viro Clarissimo Johanni Gerardo Vossio, Historiarum apud Amstelodamenses Professori celeberrimo. Vir Eximie;
QUod post acceptos eruditissimos tuos de Diis Gentium Commenta∣rios (qui in Mythici Temporis Chronico, quod ante multos Annos congesseram, recognoscendo mihi magno fuerant usui) nihil hactenus ad te rescripserim; etsi culpâ liberare me nequeam, excusationem tamen asserere possum aliquam; non justam illam quidem sed quam humanitati tuae aliquantulùm probari posse non diffidam.

Quomodò Londini posteà acceptus fuerim, commemorare non libet: Ne{que} priorum illorum malorum omnino meminissem, nisi ut inde intelli∣geretur, quae animum meum necessitas à literarum & literatorum omni∣um consortio hucus{que} penè alienaverit. Ubi vero primum colligere me caepi, ut illam neglecti in te colendo officii culpam aliquo pacto expiarem, brevem hanc de Symbolis (notissimâ tibi materiâ) dissertationem tuo nomini inscribere visum fuit: in quâ quia deinceps te alloquor, hic finio, & totus tuus maneo.
De Mariano Scoto edendo nùm omnem cogitationem abjeceris, admodum scire aveo.
