NOTES AND QUERIES.

alter Georgius, cives London: ac Assistens hujas ipsius 

 paraechiaj novissimum hoc parentale ofBciosas pietatis, 

 superstitis et memorise debitse sepulcrum et monumentum 

 jam tandem poni curavit, simulque juxta quam (si Deo 

 visum) mortales etiam suas et posteriorum exuvias hu- 

 mandas designavit." 



The Latin of the latter part is confused, but I 

 rrive it verbatim. 



Close to this, and apparently connected with it, 

 is a wooden tablet, on which are painted these 

 lines : — 



" Heere lies her dust whome second loue 

 Neuer could to mariage moue, 

 But did so longe a widdow tarrie 

 Til that Christ her soule did marrie. 

 Thusse I cannot saye she's dead, 

 But to a heavenly husband wed. 

 There blest her soule lines in eternitie 

 her uirtues here grauen in the memory 

 liue in the loue of her posteritie. 

 Transmigrauit An" 1618. vEta. 82." 



I do not see how Dame Margery Gierke could 

 have been wife to Thos. Scott, and to him alone. 

 Perhaps you can explain this. The arms round 

 the marble monument are as follows : — 



At the top — 



Crest : a hawk, or, assailing a dove, arg. 

 Arms : quarterly, 1 and 4, arg. a crosslet fitchee sa. ; 

 I. 2 and 3 azure, 3 fishes' heads or, 2 and 1 ; a 

 crescent (in centre) for difference. 

 Right side — 



II. a. As above, impaling 



b. Or, on a bend engrailed azure, a cinquefoil or. 



III. a. Arg. on a bend engrailed gules, a crescent or, 



impaling 

 b. No, I. 



IV. Arg. on a fess gu., 2 martlets of the 1st between 



6 martlets of the 2nd. 

 Left side — 

 V. a. No. I. impaling' 



b. Sable on a fess or 3 bezants of the 1st between 

 3 lions' heads erased or. 

 VI. a. Arg. on a bend engrailed gules, a crescent, 

 impaling 

 b. Arg. (?) on a fess, gules, a fleur-de-lis between 

 2 crescents or, between 2 lions passant, sable.

 paling 

 b. No. I.

 [The Clarkes were a family of Forde in Wrotham, co. 

 Kent, and this Margery appears in the pedigree as the 

 daughter of ... . Clarke of Forde, and to have married 

 Thomas Scott, second son of the Scotts of Halden. The 

 numbers I. are the armorial bearings of Scott. II. are 

 Scott impaling Clarke. It is evident that the inscription 

 is so worded as to show the lady's maiden name. Is our 

 correspondent correct in entitling her Dame Margery 

 Clarke ?a ^ ^ ^ ^ 



Carey, Governor of Guernsey. — About 

 -three years since, in looking over some old books 

 'in a friend's library, I saw a paragraph to this 

 effect, that a Carey (I forget his Christian name) 

 had been appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the 

 Island of "Garnsey" in the reign of Queen Eliza- 



beth. I cannot at all recollect where I saw this, 

 so that I cannot refer to it again, but perhaps 

 some of your correspondents can throw some 

 light on the subject, and also inform me whether 

 the family of Carey, at present so numerous in 

 Guernsey, is in any way connected with the go- 

 vernor in question ? C. M. F. 



[Our correspondent must be in error. The nearest ap- 

 proximation to the name among the governors is that of 

 Lord Geo. Carew, but he appears not to have been ap- 

 pointed until 1610 ; neither is there a bailiff of that name 

 at the period. But ts in 1588 there was one Peter Carey, 

 and in 1603 one Nicholas Carey, both jurats of the island, 

 it is probable the mistake has thus arisen. Both of 

 these last-named gentlemen belonged to the family of 

 Careys at present seated in the island, who, we believe, 

 are allied to the Careys of Cockington, co. Devon.] 



Alexander's "Julius Cesar." — Would one 

 of your readers, fortunate enough to possess a 

 copy of Alexander's Julius Ccesar, 1604, kindly 

 inform me whether its author is entitled " Gen- 

 tleman of the Prince's Privie Chamber" on the 

 title-page ? . E. H. K. 



[It is not certain, although stated by Lowndes, that 

 Julius CcBsar was published so early as 1604. It is pro- 

 bable that Crcesus and Darius first appeared without the 

 two other plays, The Alexandnan and Julius Casar, 

 which appear to have been added in 1607 with the gene- 

 ral title " The Monarchicke Tragedies, Newly Enlarged 

 by William Alexander, Gentleman of the Princes priuie 

 chamber," 4to., 1607 ; whereas, in the titles of his works 

 printed in 1604, he is simply styled " William Alexander 

 of Menstrie." See Bibliotheca Anglo- Poetica, p. 308.] 



Pilgrimage of Grace. 

 srimage of Grace ? 



■What was the PIl- 

 M. W. 



[An insurrection which broke out in the North, a.d. 

 1536, under the nominal command of Robert Aske for the 

 restoration of the Roman Catholic religion. See Lingard, 

 Sharon Turner, Froude, &c. Among the works proposed 

 for publication by the Surtees Society is one (which was 

 to have been edited by the late Cuthbert Sharp) entitled 

 Annals of the Pilgrimage of Grace."]

SEPARATION OF THE SEXES IN CHURCHES. 

 (2°" S. X. 195.) 



The Query put by your correspondent F. S. A., 

 as to whether the custoni of separating the sexes 

 in church be of Genevan origin, may I think be 

 safely answered in the negative, — it having existed 

 centuries before the Genevan system had been 

 heard of. 



Cardinal Bona (De Rebus Lilurgices), in de- 

 scribing the different parts of the early Christian 

 churches, and the several uses to which they were 

 applied, states : — 



" After the Narthex, follows the Naos, the nave or 

 body of the building ; which was divided into different 

 portions by partitions, or wooden balustrades, the lower 

 part of which was appropriated to the Penitents of the
