The preceding Table is formed from No. 312 of the Parliamentary Papers. Column A contains the 40s. Leasehold Freeholds-B the 40s. Freeholders possessing Estates in fee-C the 201. Freeholders-D the Freeholders of 501. and upwards and E the totals of the four preceding columns. In the counties marked *, it is uncertain whether there are any 40s. Freeholders in fee; and, in the counties marked †, it is certain that there are none. The county of Fermanagh is estimated at only half the number registered; because the officer states, that there are not more than half that can now vote, many being dead, and many twice registered. It seems very doubtful whether the numbers 1,341, in column B, for the county of Longford, and 6,002, in column D, for the county of Tipperary, are correct. Both, probably, are much beyond the truth.

In this Table, it will be seen, that the Forty-shilling Freeholders of Ireland compose nearly three-fourths of its whole body of Parliamentary Electors.

A In all the time of St. Paul's journeying in the places set down between the letter A and B, which is eleven years, Peter was not at Rome; for the Scripture tells us plainly where he was at that time; in Judea and the coasts thereabout; Onuphrius granteth us nine years for Peter's abode in Jewry; and Bellarmine will not have him yet at Rome, but alloweth him to stay five years in Jewry, and then to be seven at Antioch, which is twelve years, he was not then at Rome, we see by the adversary's confession, but either in Jewry or in Syria.

B At Paul's first being at Antioch, Peter was not at Rome, for Luke saith he was at Jerusalem, and this is within Bellarmine's twelve years, neither had Peter as yet been at Antioch, as is proved by scripture and reason.

prison, and before this time no approved testimony can be brought, that speaketh of Peter's being at Rome.

D When Paul returned to Antioch, and Peter was escaped out of prison, Peter was at that time not at Rome; for it is said that, the night he left the church assembled, and went into another place for fear of Herod, who did the next day make diligent search for him; which Peter, well foreseeing, conveyed himself into some secret place for the time.

E In the space of this long journey, while Paul and Barnabas travelled together. and returned again to Antioch, Peter was not at Rome, neither had he been there; for in Acts 12, he is found at Jerusalem; and when Luke maketh an end of Paul and Barnabas's journey, which he described in cap. 13 and 14, he sheweth where Peter was, even at Jerusalem; for Luke's silent passTHE Church of Jerushing of the Apostles, a General Council of the Apostles in the Year 49 or 50, and the being.
