Litany Version of the Psalms.— The doubts 
produced by Beloe’s self-contradicting statements 
on the subject of the Bishops’ Bible, whieh are 
referred to by “ X. X.” (No. 13. p. 203.), may 
thus be settled. The first edition of this Bible, 
printed in 1568, contains a new translation of the 
Psalms by Becon. In the second folio edition, 
1572, are inserted, in opposite columns, “ the 
translation according to the Ebrewe,” which 
differs but little from the former, in Roman letter, 
and “the translation used in common prayer,” or 
that of the Great Bible, printed by Whitchurch, 
1553, in black letter. 
The clarum et venerabile nomen associated 
with the Bishops’ Bible, a very magnificent and | 
perfect copy of which is now open before me, 
suggests the inquiry whether there is any copy 
known of Archbishop Parker’s rare volume on 
the English Church, 1572, which is not noticed by 
Martin in the list of eighteen which he had dis- 
eovered. He does not mention that in the 
Chetham Library. T. Jones. 
(5 Tempora mutantur, Sc. —In reply to your cor- 
respondent, ‘“E. V.,” No. 14. p. 215., I beg to 
state, that the germ of “'Tempora mutantur, et 
nos mutamur in illis,” is to be found in the Delitie 
Poetarum Germanorum, vol. i. p. 685., under the 
Poems of Matthias Borbonius. He considers 
them as a saying of Lotharius I. (flor. cir. 830.) :— 
“ Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis; 
Illa vices quasdam res habet, illa suas.” 
I sent this communication, some years ago, to 
Sharpe's Magazine, where it will be found, vol. v. 
p- 208. Yeoh “EG , L.S. 
Pandoxare. — Your correspondent, “H. B.” 
(No. 13. p. 202.), has lighted upon a curious 
specimen of domestic hieroglyphics, the notice of 
which recalls to mind the quaint marginal symbols 
scattered over the Inventories of the Exchequer 
Treasury, at a much earlier period. They are 
not devoid of information or interest. The word 
of which he requests explanation is, indeed, of too 
base Latinity to be found in the Facciolati, or 
even in the Auctarium; but in our old Latin dic- 
tionaries, sources of abundant information on ob- 
solete expressions, the word is readily to be found. 
Old Gouldman, for instance, whose columns are 
replete with uncommon and local English terms, 
gives, “ Pandoxor, to brew,” citing Alciatus as 
authority, and “ Pando, a swill-bowl,” apparently 
a word used by Statius. It is obviously a bar- 
barous derivative of the same Greek words as 
Pandocium or Pandoxarium (rdév and doxeiov), the 
hostelry open to all comers. If, however, a more 
recondite authority for the explanation of the 
word, as formerly used in England, be desired, I 
would refer your querist to the pages of the 
Promptorium Parvulorum, where may be found — 
NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[No. 15. 
“ Bruwyn ale or other drynke, Pandoxor. Brow- 
star, or brewere, Pandoxator, Pandoxatriz,” the 
medieval Bass or Guinness having been, most 
frequently, a female. And, having cited the pri- 
mitive lexicographer of Norfolk, I would seize the 
occasion to offer a note, in response to the nume- 
rous queries regarding the too tardy advance of 
the work in question, and to assure your readers, 
who may be mterested in the publications of the 
Camden Society, that a further instalment. of the 
Premptorium is in forwardness, so that I hope to 
complete a considerable portion, in readiness for 
issue, early in the current year. Apert War. 
Saint Thomas of Lancaster. — Not having Brady 
at hand, I cannot tell what authorities he cites ; 
| but, as Mr. Milnes (No. 12. p. 181.) does not men- 
tion Rymer, he perhaps may not know that he will 
find in that collection some documentary evidence 
on the subject of this saint, if saint he was; for 
instance — 
“ Super rumore Thomam nuper Comitem Laneastrie 
miraeulis corruscari.”—Rym, Feed iii. p.1033. a.p.1323. 
* Quod,” adds the king, “ moleste gerimus.” 
But Edward III. was of quite another mind, 
and urged his canonization on the Holy See. Wit- 
ness Rymer : — 
“Ad Papam ; pro canonisatione Thome nuper Comitis 
Lancastrie,” — Feed. iv. p. 2. a. p. 1326. 
And again — 
“ Pro custodi” (Weryngton mentioned by Mr. 
Milnes), ‘“ Capelle ad montem ubi nuper comes Lan- 
castrie decollatus fuit.” — Ib. p. 291. 
It seems that the bodies of some of Thomas’s 
accomplices were also supposed to have worked 
miracles; for we find an ordinance — 
“ Contra Fingentes miracula fieri per inimicos Regis.” 
— Rym, Feed. iv. p. 20. a. p. 1323. 
Andrews says (Hist. i. 342.) that Richard II. 
renewed the application for Thomas's canoniza- 
tion; but he does not give his authority, and I 
have not time to look further through Rymer. 
p- 184. Jhon-John.—I wonder Mr. Williams 
does not see that the h is not “introduced” for any 
purpose ; it is an integral part of the original name 
Johannes, which was contracted into Johan, and in 
French into Jehan. 
p- 185. Slang Phrases.— “A Rowland for an 
Oliver” is no slang phrase of the eighteenth cen- 
tury; it is a proverbial expression as old as the 
days of the romances of Roland and Olivier. The 
other two were phrases put into the mouths of 
two characters (Dr. Ollapod, in Colman’s Poor 
Gentleman, and Young Rapid, in Morton’s Cure 
Jor the Heart-ache), which grew into vogue only 
from the success of the actors Faweett and Lewis, 
and had no meaning or allusion beyond what the 
words obviously meant. C.
