[1] See as to this gentleman, ante p. 258. On inquiry being made of Mr. Evelyn Abbott, the Librarian of Balliol College, Oxford, the author finds that the Treatise de Virtutibus is ascribed to Topping, and that the initial words are Vani sunt omnes homines, not honores, as stated p. 258. Mr Abbott has favoured the author with the following extract relating to William Copinger, from Anthony Wood. After mentioning William Copinger of New College, who was admitted Bachelor of CivilLaw in 1542, he says: "I find another Will. Copinger who was Master of Arts of this University long before the other man's time, who in his works in MS. (which are in Ball. Coll. Library, and therefore thought by some to be of this house) did show himself to be a very pious divine, and a pronouncer of the men of this world to be in vain, in whom the knowledge of God reigneth not. He wrote (1) De Vitiis et Virtutibus, lib. 1., the begining of which is vani sunt omnes homines, &c. (2), Sacramentale quoddam, and other things, which hath made his name famous to posterity. When he lived, or in which King's reign he was renowned for his learning, I cannot tell, neither doth Bale himself know."
