Extract

In the Cosin Library at Durham there is preserved a MS. catalogue of its contents, written in bishop Cosin's lifetime (probably in 1669–70) and under his direction, which contains this entry:

‘Common Prayer Booke with my MS. Notes in the Margent made for Variations in the last new Liturgy, fol.’

Only one edition of the work is recorded, so presumably he was quoting from memory.

page 72 note 1 Ornsby prints them in the Correspondence (ii. 77); Parker does not notice them. There are also nearly 30 entries by Cosin in the main body of FC; many are corrections of errors made by Sancroft, but there are 10 minor alterations in the Marriage Service which are not derived from DB. Another group of 4 suggests that the ‘Form for the Baptizing of Adult Persons’ had not yet been projected; the word ‘persons’ is substituted for ‘children’ in the Baptism Service; and ‘A Catechisme’ is written in as a catch-word at the end of the service, for which Sancroft has substituted ‘A Forme’. One entry also reproduces the first draft of DB, and has to be altered by Sancroft. Why these 14 corrections were made here, and not in DB, remains unexplained. Some were accepted by Convocation, some were not. Parker only twice notes a different hand, and then fails to recognise it as Cosin's (op. cit., ccxl, ccxli.)
