= Cox II, p.301 (note); Howgego F60; Henze II, p.261f: "Sein 1779 [in Dublin] erschienenes Reisewerk brachte vielerlei Neues über den O Insulindes, scheint aber zu seiner Zeit wenig Beachtung gefunden zu haben (...)." Hill 623: "In 1774, when the council, in accordance with their instructions and with a view to developing new sources of trade, desired to send an exploring party in the direction of New Guinea, Forrest offered his services. He sailed in the Tartar, a native boat (...). The voyage was one of examination and enquiry rather than of exploration, and the additions made to geographical knowledge were corrections of detail rather than startling discoveries, but the tact with which he conducted his intercourse with the natives, and the amount of work done in a small boat, deservedly won him credit as a navigator".

= As archbishop of Utrecht, Petrus Codde (1648-1710) was twice accused of Jansenist sympathies and eventually felt it necessary to defend himself in person before the Pope in 1697. His attempt proved ineffective and couldn't prevent his suspension in 1702 and his dismissal two years later. In the Dutch Republic, these events caused discord between the anti-Jansenists and the more moderate catholics, eventually leading to the schism of Utrecht and origin of the independent Oudkatholieke Kerk in 1723.
