dral church there be as yet the Apostles' Mass, and Our 

 Ladies Masse, and other Masses of such peculiar names — 

 used in private chapels and other remote places of the 

 same — we have thought good to will and command you, 

 that from henceforth no such Masses in this manner be 

 in your church anj' longer, but that the blessed commu- 

 nion, according to the Act of Parliament, be ministered at 

 the High Altar," &c. — Wilkins's Concil. iv. 34. 



From its being expressly called " Missa Aposto- 

 lorum," we know for certain that this mass was 

 not named exclusively after the Apostle to whom 

 the church was dedicated. To ray thinking, it 

 seems beyond a doubt that the Apostles' Mass 

 here 'spoken of is the one "to be found both in 

 the Roman and Salisbury Missals, for June 29 ; on 

 which day of the month, though not in the same 

 year, St. Peter and St. Paul suffered martyrdom at 

 llome. For many centuries, St. Paul's cathedral 

 had its own peculiar Missal ; but it adopted the 

 one after Sarum use during the episcopate of 

 Bishop Clifford, towards -the end of a.d. 1414. 

 Though I cannot bring to mind at present any 

 other instance of this every-day celebration of the 

 Apostles' Mass, it is not at all unlikely that it 

 used to be so said in other large churches dedicated 

 to St. Paul in this country. D. Rock.

I have waited in the hope that J. G. N.'s query 

 might receive a reply from some one better ac- 

 quainted with antient rituals than I am. The Apo- 

 stles' Mass was not a mass named after the Apostle 

 to whom the church was dedicated, but the morning 

 mass, which was celebrated in the vigil of those 

 feast days on which two Apostles were commemo- 

 rated. Thus April 30, which Machyn notes as 

 that on which the " postyle mass " began, was the 

 vigil of SS. Philip and James, Apostles, and 

 the 28th day of June the vigil of SS. Peter and 

 Paul, Apostles. At each of these vigils an early 

 mass of the Apostles is directed to be used. " In 

 dicta vigilia et in die, omnes Presbyteri debent 

 suns Missas dicere de dictis apostolis." (Martene, 

 de Antiq. Ritibus, lib. 4. cap. vi.) An earlier pas- 

 sage than that cited by J. G. N. mentions that 

 in 1549 the xxvij day of June, " a command- 

 ment was sent from the councell unto Powlless 

 that they shulde have no more the Apostylles 

 masse." The day on which the commandment was 

 sent was the day before it would otherwise have 

 been used, the 28th, or vigil of SS. Peter and Paul. 

 As to the mistake, probably of the transcriber of 

 the Grey Friars' Chronicle, as to the 11th day of 

 April, at which time there could be no Apostles' 

 Mass, I would suggest that in the original it might 

 have stood ii Calend. Maiag, that is, Prid. Cal., and 

 that this has been copied ii day. It was not then 

 until 1549, two years after his accession, that the 

 councillors of Edward VI. inhibited the Vigil 

 Mass. It would seem that it was not until nearly 

 a twelvemonth after her accession that Mary re- 



stored the same mass, i.e. in 1554; SS. Simon 

 and Jude, 28th October, 1553, being suffered to 

 be unobserved. It is curious to note the moment 

 when the monarch felt firm enough to make such 

 changes. W. Denton. 



An earlier passage in the Chronicle of the Orey 

 Friars of London states the time when this mass 

 had been first abandoned : — 



"1549. Item, the xxvij day of June there was sent a 

 commandement from the counceller unto Powlless that 

 they shulde have no more the Apostylles masse in the 

 momynge, nor our Lady masse, nor no communyone at 

 no aultelle in the church but at the hye awlter." 



It appears to have been the name by which the 

 earliest morning service in the cathedral church 

 was popularly known. J. G. N. 



THE LOCKE FAMILT. 



(2"<i S. V. pp. 12. 177.) 



Zachariah Lock, who represented Southwark 

 in Parliament in a. d. 1600, was a son of Michael 

 Lock, and grandson of Sir William Lock, Alder- 

 man and Sheriff of London 1548, as appears from 

 the will of Zachariah, dated Jan. 29, 1602, in 

 which he desired to be buried in the Mercers' 

 Chapel, where his great-grandfather, Thomas 

 Lock, and his grandfather, Sir William Lock, 

 were buried. He gave to his father Michael 

 Lock his seal of arms. He gave to his brother 

 Eleazar Lock a diamond ring, and to his brother 

 Benjamin the arming sword and dagger given to 

 him by Lord Willoughby. He gave to Sir Ed- 

 ward Norris, Knt., his armour, with the trunk in 

 which it was contained, in consideration of a wrong 

 done to his brother Sir John Norris in the Low 

 Countreys, to which he (Z. L.) was prjvy, and 

 which he begged him to accept as the only repa- 

 ration he could make for the ease of his con- 

 science. 



Proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 

 April 4, 1603, 27 Bolein. 



He had been, as I infer from his will, one of 

 the Captains of Queen Elizabeth's forces under 

 Sir John Norris in the Low Countries, and his 

 connexion with Southwark was probably that of 

 Captain of the Trained Bands, or Muster Master. 

 He married Dorothy, daughter of James Bramp- 

 ton, of Brampton, Norfolk, Gent., by Maria, 

 daughter and heir of Sir Edward Bulein and 

 Ann Tempest. Dorothy Lock died February 24, 

 1596, and was buried at Greenwich, with her son 

 Henry. The inscription on their monument will 

 be found in Stow's Survey of London. 



Eleazar Lock was of Huntingdon. His will 

 was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canter- 

 bury, May 2, 1605, 34 Hayes.
