We have decreed it with common consent, in the days of the Superior Theodore, Thomas being Steward ; We determine, under pain of excommunication, that they shall not abrogate it; whether in • time of plenty, or of famine, or under whatever circumstances, let them not abrogate it. And if any one be appointed Superior or Steward, let them not abrogate this. And if they shall abrogate this that we have decreed by common consent, Priests, Deacons, and Monks, if ye shall abrogate it, may the Lord separate you from the company of Pilgrims, and make your dwelling-place in hell, where the fire is not quenched and the worm sleepeth not. And as for him who caused this to be written, the Superior, Theodore, tmay the Lord write his name in the Book of Life, for ever and ever. Amen.” We now proceed to the MS. No. 19., which is written in columns and in the folio form, like that already described. It commences with the Epistle of Eusebius to Cyprian, which is followed by the same Procemium as in the former instance, with the title nX’S'p: : ^a^:ho>^a^:: At the end of the Gospels, we have the following inscription: n A'n-i:i-: A-n :a>a>A.i'-: (PtlV.,ri: 3>#/i: ]\K7hA,'i-: i ii:: i{\: vtsw1?: x*t: ^-nc: -VA-nx-*-: ax°2h.xj : apa-a : sica ■i-h: (DASCrtfD-i-: £,n: q°£-c: x?h : w-ac: ■t-Aqo^-t-: 6-t-: q°-i-: ©i-'JWA-t-: ©ooi- : ©At-: aui).i-'T : : 3>g.
