XIV INTRODUCTION.

There is fio ever a se emingi very eight objectio against this date. e rea a the very eginning of the reatis the illo in gwords: Et ex isto patet quod omnes pretericiones et futuricione S, cum sint terne, independentes ab existencia substancte, non possunt dici accidencia substancte create, et in multo magis negaciones, ut

patet tractatu de Veritate capitulo 'V. It a firs seeme probableto me that wyclis a referring to his own reatis De Veritate Sacrae Scripturae an too that for granted, o having the reati seat hund at the time sit elong to the series of et unpublishedworks , and o bein able to identis Ansel f book De Veritate, in a quotation os o vague a description when Wycli quotes thegreat Sa in os anterbury, he usuali employs more determinate expressi Ons, Suchos p. 84, 6 Unde . . . docet Anselmus in libello suo de Veritate; or p. io 2, 3 . Et confrmacio istius est Anselmus

in De Veritate, capitulo δ' o again p. 72, 2 i): Anselmus in De

Veritate. Now, foliis quotatio reatly belonge to Wyclis treati se De Veritate Sacrae Scripturae, e should e obliged to ascribe a much later date to the whole o De Ente, hici, oui then have been writte toward the lose of the eventi, deca de of the Murteenth

But suci, is no the case. I have since had the opportunit os seeing the Viennam S. De Veritate Sacrae Scripturae. A clos perusal of the whole of the foui th hapter convince me that it containe nothingconcerning the accident of the substancia creata, o the negacioneS.

O the ther an it seem quite possibi that wyclis alludes no toCh. 4 ut Ch. 2 of Anselm ' De Veritate. In his place Migne, Ser. lat. Vol. LVIII, col. 47i the writer expound the essen ce of the Affirmation and the egation in regar to proposition. e maythere fore completet an decidedi se asi de the de of a quotationi rom Wyclips reati se, and this objection against the date assigned by us falis to the round.
