Legate, a cardinal. Or bish op, whom the pope sends as his ambassador to sovereign princes.
Legend, originally a book', in the Romish church, containing the lessons that were to be read in divine service: from hence the word was applied to the histories of the lives of saints, because chapters were read out of them at matins but as the golden legend, compiled by James de Varase, about the year 1290, contained in it several ridiculous and romantic stories, the word is now used'by Protest ants to signify any incredible or inauthentic narrative. Hence, as Dr. Jortin observes, we have false legends concerning the miracles of Christ, of his apostles, and of an cient Christians; and the w riters of these fables had, in all probability, as good natural abilities as the disciples of Christ, and some of them wanted neither learning nor craft and yet they betray them selves by faults against chronolo gy, against history, against man ners and customs, against mora lity, and against probability. A. Liar of this kind can never pass undiscovered; but an honest re later of truth and matter of fact is safe: he wants no artifice, and, fears no examination.
