It was formerly written in Syriac, but a copy was afterwards made in Karshonif^ or Syro-Arabic, in which language it had ever since been written. The original, he said, was still exist- ing in Syria, besides which, this which he showed me was the only copy in the world. It is always kept by the Patri- arch, and the records are made as the events occur. He opened it and read from it a history of persecutions endured by the Monophysites after the Council of Chalcedon. I saw that he had reference ...to the diSerence between us, for I had already shown him a copy of the Arabic translation of the Prayer Book in which the Second Article' had arrested his attention, but before we could enter upon the subject we were interrupted by persons on business, and I retired. The same day arrived a monk from Abyssinia. Four years had passed since he lefl his country, and in the mean time he had been a wanderer in Egypt and Syria. He had brought no letters from his Church, and the Patriarch hesi- tated for a time to receive him, saying that the practice of the Churches from time immemorial, had been, that when a Christian went into a foreign country, he carried with him commendatory epistles from his Bishop, or the Patriarch.
