of those which were Baptised, * 1.1 and of the Persons which presented them. The Friar Maximus his Scholiast, con∣fesses it so in the VII. Century. As he fully explains himself in his Notes on the place we but now obser'd, and Pachymeres who made a Paraphr••se on this same Writer, in the 13th. Century, has not passed over this Circumstance in silence, observing that the Priests and Deacons wrote on Holy Tables, the Names of them who were Christened, and of their Godfathers; It's true he was mistaken in thinking these Tables was that which in the Church was called the Book, or the Diptyches of the Living; for this publick Begister where the Names of the Baptised and those which presented them, was a different thing from the Sacred Diptychs, which were a kind of little Book of two Leaves, in one of which was writ the name of the Living, whereof there was comme∣moration made at the time of Celebrating the Eucha∣rist.
However it be, * 1.2 I make no question but the Greek Ri∣tual makes allusion to the practise I Examin, in a fine Exhortation which the Bishop makes to the Catechumeny on Good Friday; The Council of Trent in the 24th. Ses∣sion, Anno 1563. appoints Curats to write the Names of the Baptised, and of the Godfathers and Godmothers. Cardinal Borrome who glory'd to hold to the Decisions of the Council of Trent, * 1.3 and to see them put in Execu∣tion; failed not to prescribe to his Curats in the first Council of Millan held in the year 1565, * 1.4 to have a Book and therein to write the Names and Surnames of the baptised, also of Father and Mother and Godfathers and Godmothers, together with the day of the Childrens birth, and of that when they are baptis'd, which he also repeats in two other Councils held in the same place, that is in the 4th. and 5th.
