NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2«<iS. V. 118., Aprils. '58. 



For the same reason, the place of publication is 

 not given, nor the printer's name. The first two 

 volumes appeared in 1737, and the others in the 

 year following. It is probable that the edition 

 was printed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The ordi- 

 nary of the Mass is placed in the middle of each 

 volume, as in the Altar Missals. The general 

 rubrics of the Missal are not given, but every 

 other part is regularly translated. 



In the Preface, repeated in each volume, it is 

 mentioned that the Daily Mass, that is, the ordi- 

 nary, had been often before translated into Eng- 

 lish. I possess one of these early translations in 

 a book entitled The Great Sacrifice of the Neiv 

 Law expounded by the Figures of the Old, by J. D,, 

 the fourth edition, Antwerp, 1685, Permissu Su- 

 periorum. I have also the fifth edition, Antwerp, 

 in the same year ; and the eighth edition, London, 

 printed for Matthew Turner, at the " Lamb " in 

 High Holborn, 1687. The rapid succession of 

 these editions, four in two years, proves the popu- 

 larity of the work. The translator was Rev. 

 James Dymock. Besides the well-known trans- 

 lation of the ordinary by Mr. Gother, which was 

 followed by Mr. Cordell, another translation oc- 

 curs in a small treatise, of which I have a copy, 

 entitled A Short Explication of the Chief Parts of 

 the Mass, published in 1725. F. C. H. 



Early Almanacs (2"* S. v. 134.) — A most tiny 

 one printed by Wynkyn de Worde, believed to be 

 unique, was several years since presented by me 

 to the Bodleian Library through the medium of 

 the late Dr. Bliss. (See it entered in Catalogue, 

 svJ) voce Almanack.) It was found by the gen- 

 tleman who gave it to me in the secret drawer of 

 an old oak cabinet purchased at a broker's ware- 

 room. M. L.

Almanacs (2"'^ S. v. 221.) — Could your corre- 

 spondent who mentioned the Almanac of 1383, 

 published in 1812 at Hackney, or any other contri- 

 butor, inform us where the original now is ? In 

 the title-page it is said to be " for sale, apply to 

 the printer." J. C. J. 



^^ Don't hurry, Hopkins!" (2"^ S. v. 211.) — 

 Hopkins of Kentucky appears to take things 

 leisurely. His namesake (Cisatlantic) was other- 

 wise disposed, or whence the proverb — " as hasty 

 as Hopkins, who went to jail overnight, and was 

 hung next morning ? " Vryan Rheged. 



Friars Mendicant, Bull against (2"'* S. v. 132.) 

 — I consider that Enivri labours under a mistake. 

 It does not appear that there is any notice of the 

 Friars in the Bull. The culpable persons seem 

 to be nonnulli Nohiles et Magnates. He will find 

 the Bull in the Bullarium Romanum, viz. No. 24 

 of those issued by Joannes XXL, dictus XXIL

Milhoume Family (2'"^ S. v. 149.) — In answer 

 to a Query, signed J. J. H., respecting above- 

 named family, I beg leave to offer the following 

 information : — 



John Milbourne of Long Melford, co. SulTolk 

 (probably one of the Milbournes of London, temp. 

 Edw. IV., who bore for arms, per pale or and 

 gu., a fess between three leopards' heads, all 

 countercharged), had issue a son, 



Sir John Milbourne, Knt, Mayor 1 52 1 , Master of 

 Drapers' Company 1514-15 ; married, first, Mar- 

 garet, daughter of , by whom he had issue 



a son and daughter. Sir Gilbert Milbourne, living 

 1535 (most probably the same who is mentioned 

 as George Milbourne, Alderman in 1493, and 

 also entered in books of Drapers' Company as 

 George Milbourne in 1526), and Marion wile of 



Burton, by whom she had issue Thomas and 



Ralph Burton. Sir John (who died in 1535, will 

 proved in London,) married, secondly, Joan 

 daughter of John Hill, draper of London (and 

 widow of John Chester, by whom she had issue 

 two sons, Nicholas and William Chester, Lord 

 Mayor of London, 1560), which aforesaid Joan 

 died in 1561, (will proved in London,) and was 

 buried by the side of her husband. Sir John and 

 his first wife Margaret, in the priory of Crutched 

 Friars, but afterwards removed to St. Edmund's, 

 Lombard Street. Thos. Milboukn. 



10. Basinghall Street. 



Episcopal Mitres (2""^ S. v. 169.) — A few years 

 ago I remember reading in a Gloucester news- 

 paper an account of the consecration of a church 

 by the then Bishop (Dr. Monk), in which it was 

 stated that the mitre was borne before his lordship 

 as he entered the building. I inferred, although 

 it was not so stated, that the mitre was carried on 

 a cushion, in the same way as the royal crown is 

 carried on certain state occasions. Will this have 

 been one of the " old English mitres " inquired 

 after by your correspondent ? P. 



Bradford, Yorkshire. 



Mitred Abbots (2°'* S. iv. 170. ; v. 225.) — I am 

 inclined to think that neither seals nor brasses are 

 sure guides in ecclesiastical costume. Certain it 

 is that we constantly meet with inaccuracies and 

 anomalies in both. In the famous brass of the 

 Abbot Delamere of St Alban's,- the abbot has a 

 very beautiful rnitra pretiosa. He died in 1396, 

 twenty-one years befoi'e the third seal of the Abbot 

 of Joreval, mentioned in the late communication 

 signed Robert Townsend. The brass of the 

 Abbot Esteney in Westminster Abbey represents 

 him also with a mitra pretiosa. He died in 1498. 

 It should be observed, however, that though no 

 abbot could wear the viitra pretiosa in synod, each 

 was allowed to wear, on other occasions, such kind 

 of mitre as he was entitled to "by rank or privilege.
