NOTES AND QUEKIES.

St. Bartholomew (Vol. v., p. 129.).— The parish 

 church of Wednesbury, co. Staffordshire, is dedi- 

 cated to that saint ; where, in the east window, is 

 a full-length figure : it is however of modern date.

John Rogers, Protomartyr ; Descendants inquired 

 for (Vol. v., p. 247.). — The pedigree in my private 

 collection ends thus : 



" * Rev. John Rogers of Beminster, Dorsetshire, 

 from 1796 to 1810, when he removed to Tisbury, 

 Wiltshire, where he died in 1815, aged 51, leaving 

 two daughters, viz. 



Sarah = George 

 widow Brough.

English Translation of the Canons (Vol. v., p. 

 246.). — The Queries of M. on this subject have 

 arisen out of an error, which I fancy must be his 

 own. After quoting the clause of the 36th Canon, 

 qiiodque eodem taliter uti liceat, he says : 



" The English translation, to which subscription is 

 now made, has the following rendering of the second 

 clause: 'And that the same may be lawfully used.' 

 The word ' taliter' seems to be not rendered at all." 



Of course I cannot tell on what authority he 

 says this ; but he is certainly wrong : for in the 

 Oxford edition (1844) of the Homilies and Canons 

 this clause stands thus : " and that it may lawfully 

 so be used." And so it is printed in Hodgson's 

 Instructimis, p. 8., and in the Instructions to be 

 obsei-ved by Candidates for Holy Orders in the 

 Diocese of London : and I myself not long ago 

 subscribed to it in this form. There is then no 

 difference here at all ; the Latin being rendered 

 by the English, not only fully, but literally. I 

 will only add, that the grammatical meaning of 

 taliter, or so, appears to me in this place to be plain 

 enough, without requiring a " theological con- 

 troversy " to determine it- F. A. 



^^ Ai-horei foetus alibi," Sfc. (Vol. v., pp. 58. 189.). 

 - — I am afraid I did not make myself intelligible in 

 my former communication. Certainly W. A. C. 

 does not understand me. The question is, are we 

 justified in translating alibi atque " otherwhere 

 than," in like manner as we translate aliter atque 

 "otherwise than?" W. A. C. takes for granted 

 that the line in question refers to only one district. 



* Seventh in direct lineal male descent from the 

 protomartyr. 



But that is the very point in doubt. The " head 

 master's " translation makes it refer to two. W. S. 



Horn-blowing (Vol. v., p. 148.). — In reference 

 to this practice, I may state that a similar custom 

 prevails here (Gainsborough, Lincolnshire), but 

 on the 29th May, or "Royal Oak Day." For 

 some djiys previously the boys collect all the birds* 

 eggs they can find or purchase, and early in the 

 morning of the 29th, they may be seen returning 

 from the woods in crowds, with an ample supply 

 of oak. They next procure a large quantity of 

 flowers, with which they construct a garland in 

 the form of a crown, the apples of the oak being 

 all gilded, surrounded by flowers and festoons of 

 birds' eggs. The garland is then suspended across 

 the street, and every little urchin being provided 

 with a horn, some the natural horn of the cow, 

 others of tin, similar to those formerly used by the 

 guard of the mail coaches, they keep up through- 

 out the day a most terrible blowing of horns ; the 

 doleful noise being ill in accordance with the fes- 

 tivity and rejoicing which the garlands are pre- 

 sumed to indicate. I have been unable to learn 

 the origin or import of this singular custom .

" God:s Love" (Vol. v., p. 272.).— If T. S. will 

 refer to Wood's Athenoe Oxon., vol. iii. col. 698. 

 edit. 4to., he will find an account of the author of 

 Gods Love. Wood records an edition of 1659. 

 In the Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica, No. 594., was 

 one dated 1679 ; but I have now before me the 

 first, which neither AVood nor his editor appear to 

 have heard of. The title : 



" God's Love and Man's Vnworthiness : whereunto 

 is annexed a Discourse between the Soul and Satan. 

 With several Divine Ejaculations. Written by John 

 Quarles. London : Printed for John Stafford, and are 

 to be sold at his house in S. Bride's Church-yard ; and 

 by Humphrey Moseley, at the Prince's Armes, \n St; 

 Paul's Church-yard ; and John Holder, at the Blue 

 Anchor, in the New Exchange. 1651." 



Collation : the minde of the frontispiece : 8 lines 

 verse. The frontispiece, or engraved title : God's 

 Loue, Man's Vnwoi-thiness, by lo. Qu. " Lord, 

 what is man," &c. Ps. viii. 4. An engraved 

 portrait of the author, kneeling and saying, " O 

 giue salvation vnto Israeli out of Sion ! " (this un- 

 known to Granger or Bromley : the latter records 

 three other portraits of the author.) Then the 

 title, as given before. The dedication : " To my 

 much honoured and esteemed Friend, Edward 

 Benlowes, Esq." To the Reader. To my Muse : 

 "Tel me, presumptuous Muse, how dar'st thou 

 treat." Gods Love, &c., pp. 1. to 66. A Dia- 

 logue, &c., pp. 67. to 108. Pp. 109, ] 10. wanting 

 in my copy, but probably blank, as the catch-word 

 "Divine" agrees with "Divine Ejaculations,"
