NOTES AND QUERIES. 



307 



Thomas Bunyan. — In the Life of John Biinyan 

 by Joseph Ivimey, Dr. Sou they, and Robert Philips, 

 it is mentioned that one of his sons, Thos. Bunyan, 

 was a Baptist minister at Bedford. Could any of 

 your readers give me an account of Thos. Bunyan ? 

 Is there a portrait and memoir of him ? li. W. 



[Mr. Offok informs us that very little is known re- 

 ;;pecting Thomas Bunyan. In the register of the Bedford 

 meeting-house it is stated that " on the 6th of the ele- 

 venth month, 1673, Thomas Bunyan was received into 

 communion." This was just after his father ohtained 

 his liberty. He became an occasional preacher in the 

 villages about Bedford, and was much respected.3 



Edmund Kean, etc. — The following passage 

 occurs in A Letter to Edmund Kean, Esq. (Lond. 

 1819, pp. 24.): — 



"The Greek actors were submissive to the authors, and 

 if Sophocles had cast you to double Osriek and Bernardo 

 and 3'ou had refused, you would never have been allowed 

 to play Hamlet again : — 



" ' Slave or King, none dared object,' 

 says Lucian." — P. 1 1. 



The pamphlet is an attack on Kean for refusing 

 a part in a tragedy because the names all ended 

 in O. The name of the tragedy is affectedly un- 

 mentioned. The matter is low and scurrilous, but 

 the writing not bad ; and I have been able to 

 verify some not ordinary classical allusions. I 

 shall be obliged by a reference to the jsassage 

 in Lucian, and to an account of the play an(^ re- 

 fusal to act, which seem to have been notorious at 

 the time. J. F, J. 



[The tragedy which Kean and his friends are charged 

 with being "determined to damn" was Charles Bucke's 

 Italians, or the False Accusation, tirst acted at Drury Lane 

 on April 3, 1819. It passed through seven editions, owing 

 to a keen disputation between the author and the actor. 

 Biicke remarks in his Preface (p. xviii. 5th edit.), "Every 

 person who is even superficially acquainted with the ma- 

 nagement of Drurj' Lane, knows, and knows well, that 

 though Kean is saving that establishment with his right 

 hand, he is ruining it with his left."] 



" Ci-austrtjm«Anim^." — 

 " Aspice serve Dei, sic Me posuere .Judsei. 

 Aspice mortalis, pro te datur Hostia talis. 

 Aspice devote, quoniam sic pendeo pro te. 

 Introitum vitse reddo tibi, redde Mihi te. 

 In cruce sum pro te, qui peccas, desine pro Mp. 

 Desinc, do veniam, die culpam, corrige vitam." 

 These lines, which it is said were written under 

 crucifixes, are cited at p. 85. in a little devotional 

 work entitled Claustrum Animce, The Reformed 

 Monasterij or The Love of Jesus (London, 1677), 

 and dedicated to Fell, Bishop of Oxford. The ini- 

 tials "L. B." are appended to the dedication. 

 Whom do they indicate ? E. H. A. 



[This work is by Luke de Beaulieu, B.D. who came to 

 England on account of religion in 1667; became Chaplain 

 to Lord Chancellor Jeffries; Rector of Whitchurch, co. 

 Oxford, and a prebendary of Gloucester. His works are 

 mostly poleniicaj, Vid^ Wood's Athencc Oxon., iv. 668.] 



Bull of Paul IV. — It is slated in Wright's 

 Histonj of Ireland, p. 390., that on the accession 

 of Queen Mary, the Lord Deputy, Lord Fitz 

 Walter, brought over to Ireland a bull from Car- 

 dinal Pole, which was read in full parliament by 

 the Lord Chancellor ; at the reading of which his 

 lordship and the whole assembly, Lords and Com- 

 mons, knelt in humble posture in sign of reverence 

 and contrition. Can any of your learned contri- 

 butors inform me where I can find a copy of this 

 bull, or any other notice relating to it ? 



John James Mubphy. 



[This bull will be found in Bullarum, §-c. Collectio, C. 

 Cocquelines, tom. iv. par. i. p. 315., Romae, 1743, fol.] 



St. Paul at Athens, etc. — Can anyone in- 

 form me in what novel either St. Paul is intro- 

 duced as preaching on the Areopagus at Athens, 

 or one of his hearers on that memorable occasion 

 narrates the scene ? Also in which is the widow's 

 son introduced, whom our Saviour raised at Nain ?

 [See Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's Last Days of Pom- 

 peii, edit. 1850, pp. 137. 192.] 



NoNjuRiNG Prelates. — Can you inform me 

 where the following lines may be found ? — 



" Oh ! whither is the Church's genius fled. 



That reign'd when Sancroft rul'd it as its head ! 



When Ken, like Moses, to God's will resign'd. 



Kept it unshaken by the waves and wind ! 



When Lake, when Turner, and when Frampton 

 strove. 



Who should the. most display paternal love ; 



And, by a stedfast honesty, declare 



Their spotless duty, and unwearied care. 



Alas! its beams are lost in endless night, 



And Faction's baleful damps extinguish Gospel light !" 



Jacobite.

 troversy, and is printed in A Collection of Poems,' i^c. for 

 and against Dr. Sacheverell, Part ii. p. 3. Lond. 8vo. 

 1710. The poem is entitled " The Seven Extinguishers," 

 of which the foregoing passage is the conclusion. Who is 

 the author of it ? ] 



'• Doing Gooseberry." — I lately had an en- 

 gagement to dine with my brother, who is a 

 family man, and I was intending to drive over 

 in the pony chaise. My brother's eldest daughter, 

 however, who is about nineteen, happened to call 

 in the course of the morning, and overruled my 

 proposal that we should ride together by stating 

 that she much preferred walking, and by request- 

 ing that I would walk with her ; so off we set 

 together, on foot. We had not gone a hundred 

 paces when we were overtaken by a young gen- 

 tleman of our acquaintance, who remarked that 

 he was going the same way as we were, and with 

 our permission would accompany us. I observed 

 nothing particular on the road, except that my 

 niece and our casual companion seemed very 

 much taken up with one another, and left me 

 to my own meditations. But when we reached
