NOTES AND QUERIES.

softening the heart and exalting the soul. She pro- 

 cured his head to he taken down from London Bridge, 

 where more odious passions had struggled in pursuit 

 of a species of infernal immortality by placing it. She 

 kept it during her life as a sacred relic, and was bu- 

 ried with that object of fondness in her arms, nine 

 years after she was separated from her father."

Was Quarles pensioned f (Vol. i., p. 201.). — 

 I believe that, no reply has been made to this 

 Query. The following passage, transcribed from the 

 Epistle Dedicatory to the surreptitious edition of 

 Quarles's Judgment and IMercij, affords a slight 

 negative proof to the contrary : — 



" And being so usefuU, I dare not doubt your pa- 

 tronage of tliis child, wliich survives a Jhtlicr, whose 

 utmost abilities were (till death darkned that great 

 light in his soule) sacrificed to your service." 



Now if Charles had conferred a pension on 

 Quarles, is it not exceedingly j)robable that the 

 publisher and dedicator, Richard Royston, would 

 have recalled so honourable a circumstance to the 

 nieitiory of his " Most gratious soveraigne King 

 Charles" in this Epistle Dedicatory, when he had 

 so excellent an opportunity of doing so ?

Old Ilewson the Cobbler (Vol. ii., p. 442.). — I 

 remember that there was a low song sung at some 

 wine parties in Oxford about fifteen years Jigo, 

 ■which began with the words " My name is olii 

 Hewson," &c. I do not remember the words, but 

 they were gross: the chief /"«« seemed to consi.st 

 in the chorus, — a sort o(burring noise being made 

 with the lips, while the doubled fists were rubbed 

 and thumped upon the thigh, as if the cobbler's 

 lapstone had been there. 



Was Hewson, the Parliamentarian colonel, a 

 cobbler ? C. P. 



The Inquisition (Vol. il., p. 358.). — The follow- 

 ing reply to Iota's Queries is extracted from Wal- 

 chii Bibliotheca Theologica, tom. iii. p. 739. : 



" Auctor libii- Histoire de I'lnquisition et son 

 origine. Colonise mdcxciii. 12. qui Jacob Marsollierius 

 est."* 



Of the history of tlie Bohemians I can ascertain 

 only that J. Amos Comenius was the author of 

 the original. (See Walch, toui. iii. p. 265.) T. J. 



Mrs. Tempest (Vol. ii., p. 407.). — In reply to 

 your correspondent rccpiesiing information re- 

 specting this lady, I have much pleasure in sending 

 you the following particulars, which I h:ive ob- 

 tained through tiie kindness of Colonel Tempest 

 of Tong Hall, the present representative of the 

 ancient family of Tempest of Tong. Henry Tem- 

 pest, the oldest son of Sir John Tempest, Bart., 

 of Tong Hull, by Henrietta Lis wife, daughter and

heir of Sir Henry Cholmley of Newton Grange, 

 married Alathea, daughter of Sir Henry Thompson 

 of Marston, county of York, and had two daughters, 

 Alathea and Henrietta ; one of these ladies was 

 celebrated as Pope's Daphne. Henry Tempest 

 died very young, before his fiither Sir'john ; the 

 next brother, George, succeeded to the title and 

 Tong estates. Daphne was on the point of beino- 

 married very highly, tradition says to the Duke of 

 Wharton, but died of the small-pox before the 

 celebration. 



In the library at Tong Hall there is a painting, 

 by Sir Godfrey Kneller, of Pope's Daphne.

Car-dinal Aliens Declaration (Vol. ii., p. 497.). — 

 I aiu happy to inform H. P. that the Declaration 

 of the Sentence and Deposition of Elizabeth, the 

 Usurper and pretended Queen of England, alluded 

 to in his note, is in the Bodleian Library ; where, 

 a i'ew days since, I saw Dr. Gumming poring over 

 it ; and where, I have no doubt, he, or any friend, 

 can easily obtain a sight of it by applying to any 

 of the librarians. Z. X. Z. 



Car-dinal Aliens Admonition (Vol ii,, p. 497.). — 

 The Declaration of the Sentence and Deposition of 

 Elizabeth, the Usurper and pretended Queen of 

 England, will be found accurately reprinted in the 

 Appendix to vol. iii. of Dodd's Church History, 

 edited and enlarged by the Rev. M. A. Tierney, 

 r.Il.S. F.S.A., in whose possession a copy of the 

 Declaration is stated to be. D. 



Scandal against Queen Elizabeth (Vol. ii., p. 393.). 

 — Although many of your correspondents must 

 be well able to reply to P. T.'s Query, I have 

 seen no notice of it as yet. The note to Burton's 

 Diai-y, in citing Osborn, ought to have begun with 

 the word which precedes the words quoted. The 

 note would then have run thus : — 



" Tliat Queen Elizabeth had a son, &c., I neglect to 

 insert, as fitter for a romance than to mingle with so 

 much truth and integrity as I profess." 



In the Add. MSS. 5524. is an app.irently 

 modern note, stated to be in the handwriting of 

 Mr. Ives, to the following effect : — 



" 1 have heard it confidently asserted, that Queen 

 Elizabeth was with child by the Earl of Essex, and 

 that she was delivered of a child at Kenil worth Castle, 

 which died soon afier its birth, Avas interred at Kenil- 

 worth, and had a stone put over it, inscribed ' Silcn- 

 iiiim.' " 



This is doubtless one of the many tales, which, as 

 Osborn says, " may be found in the black rela- 

 tions of the Jesuits, and some French and Spanish 

 Pasquiiers." These slanderers were chiefly, I be- 

 lieve, Parsons or Persons, and Sanders, who scru- 

 pled at nothing that would fend to blacken the 

 character and reputation of Elizabeth. Thus, 

 besides the above, and other stories of Elizabeth
