of the History of our Saviour s Life, with numerous 

 plates. One of these copies was presented to 

 Charles I. on his going into the North ; another to 

 Charles II. at the Restoration ; the third remained 

 in the family. Can any of your readers tell us 

 whether the copies given to the two kings e.xist, 

 and if so, who are the present possessors of them ?

Clericus will find some information in the 

 Gentleman's Magazine iov iha year 1775 (vol. xlv. 

 pp. 513. 632.) which will direct him to a still fuller 

 discussion of the subject in the third volume of 



the ArchcBolosia. 



N.B, 



At Rochester there is a field so called ; it is a 

 very favourite walk. In the neigldiourliood of the 

 Cathedral at Bath, there is one side of a street so 

 called. S. S. 



A part of the town of Richmond (Surrey) is 

 called " the Vineyard." The name, of the oriirin 

 of which I am ignorant, is applied to a collection 

 of small houses between the Roman Catholic Chapel 

 and the Rose Cottage Hotel. W. A. G. 



In the fields between Buckden andDiddington, 

 in the county of Huntingdon, there is what is 

 called "the Vineyard" at'the present day; .and 

 connected therevvith is what is called, and evi- 

 dently from the shape has been, a "fish pond."_ In 

 Buckden is the abbot's house, with the original 

 door ; and there is no doubt but what the above 

 was, in olden times, belonging to a religious house 

 in that part. M. C. R. 



A small close of land adjoining tlie churchyard 

 at Oistoii, Nottinghamshire (due west of the 

 church), goes by the name of " the Vineyard." 



P.P. 



There is also a street at Abingdon called " the 

 Vineyard," from the land having been formerly used 

 for that purpose by the Benedictines of Abingdon 

 Abbey. If my memory do not betray me, there 

 is some interesting information on the eai'ly culti- 

 vation of the vine in England, in an article by Mr. 

 T. Hudson Turner, in the Archceological Journal^ 

 which I have not now at hand. II. G. T. 



There was a vineyard belonging to Ely Place, 

 Holborn : and another probably in the Abbey 

 grounds at Westminster. A portion of the estate 

 of the late Chas. Powell, Esq., of Hinton Court, 

 near Hereford, was called the "Vineyard;" and the 

 Vineyard of the Monks of St. IMary's is yet pointed 

 out by the good folks of Beaulieu in Hampshire. 

 The vineyards of Bath are in the heart, not the 

 suburbs of the present town.

TREATISE OF EQUIVOCATION. 



(Vol. ii., p. 168.). 



As supplementary to J. B.'s valuable paper on 

 the Treatise of Equivocation, I transcribe the fol- 

 lowing from the Smith Manuscripts (num. Ixi.x. 5. 

 p. 35.), thinking it may have an interest for some 

 of your readers : — 



" Apud, D. P. 13th of May, 1597. 



Gerard the Jesttite, liis Defence of JEqtiivt catioyi. 

 " John Gerard, tlie Jesuite, being told that, upon 

 tlie arraignment of Sowthwell the priest of high treason, 

 one of the witnesses being asked upon her oath by one 

 of the judges, in open court, whether Sowthwell were 

 ever in Bellamie's house, said that she had been per- 

 swaded hy Sowthwell to atTirmc upon hur oath, that 

 she did not sec Sowthwell in Bellamie's house, and to 

 keep this secret in her mind, or intent to tell vou, 

 wliercas in truth slio had seen him diverse times in 

 Bellamie's house; and Sowtliwell being charged there- 

 with, opeidy confessed tlie same, and sought to justifie 

 the same by the place out of Jeremie, that a man 

 ought to swear in jiidicio, jiistitid, et veritate. Now, 

 this John Gerrard, being asked what his opinion and 

 judgment was concerning Southwell's opinion above 

 said, said that lie was of the same opinion, and seemed 

 to justifie the same by the example of our Saviour 

 Clirist, who said to Ilis disciples, that you shall go to 

 Jerusakm, Er/o avttm non ascendam, keeping this secret 

 to himself, or intent to tell you. And also sayeth 

 that our Saviour Christ said, that the Son of Man did 

 not know of the day of judgment, keeping this secret 

 to himself, or intent to tell vou ; for he sayeth, that 

 as he was Son of Man he knew it, and could not be 

 ignorant of any thing : and furder sayeth, that a wit- 

 ness being examined juridicc and of temporal things, 

 not concerning religion or Catholics, cannot answer 

 with such Eequivocalion as is above said. And, foras- 

 mucli as this opinion and the defence thereof seemed to 

 be damnable and blaspliemous, he was required to sett 

 down his own opinion tl)erein, least he sliould be mis- 

 taken ; but he denied the same, not l)ecatise it is untrue, 

 but because he would not publish it. Then being 

 required to subscril)e the same, denied the same also.

The reference " Apud. D. P.," which stands as I
