NOTES AND QUERIES.

property in the city and county of Edinburgh, 
which he mortified for charitable purposes; but 
not, as R.S. states, “ for the benefit of the poor of 
the parish of Cramond.” 
Mr. Strachan died about the year 1719; and as 
he had omitted to make any regulations for the 
management of his valuable “ Mortifications,” his 
trustees did so themselves, resolving that the pen- 
sioners were to consist of “ Poor old men, women 
and children.” 
Should I fall in with any other information, as 
to his history or connexions, I will with pleasure 
communicate the same, T. G. S.

Wooden Chalices (2° §. i. 340.) —F. C. H. 
denies that Pope Zephyrinus made any decree 
“about chalices at all,” and says, on the authority 
of the Liber Pontificalis, that he speaks only of 
patens. The Liber Pontificalis is very untrust- 
worthy (Oudin, 11. cols. 345. &c.), and the decretal 
epistles of Zephyrinus are forged (Ld. 1. cols. 46. 
&c.). But Becon had plenty of authorities, such 
as they were, for his assertion that Zephyrinus 
* commanded chalices of glass to be used.” 
Thus Platina, De Vit. Pontif., says: 
“Statuit item ut consecratio divini sanguinis in vitreo 
vase, non autem in ligneo, ut antea, fieret. Hac quoque 
institutio sequentibus temporibus immutata est.” 
Stella, in Vit. Due. et Trig. Pont., uses nearly 
the same words: 
“Statuit ut consecratio divini sanguinis in vitreo vase, 
non autem in ligno, ut antea fiebat, consecravetur.” 
Polydore Vergil, De Invent. Rer. lib. v1. cap. xii., 
adds a similar testimony : 
“ Zepherinus postea mandavit, ut in vitreo vase, non in 
ligneo, ut antea, sacrificaretur.” 
More authorities might readily be found. 
Double Christian Names (1* 8. passim; 2°° 8. 
i. 884.) — Your correspondent P.B. states that 
the earliest instance of three names within his 
knowledge occurs in 1588. I can supply one 
forty years before. In 1547 John Dudley, Vis- 
count Lisle, had licence from Henry VIII. to 
alienate the “house of the dissolved hospital of 
St. Giles in the Fields ” to John Wymonde Carew, 
Esq. Vide Dobie’s History of St. Giles and 
Bloomsbury, p. 24. G. J. Sac.

Calvary (2°° 8. 1. 874.) — The height of the 
small Mount Calvary was about fifteen feet: the 
whole of it is inclosed in the present church, the 
keys of which have been the cause, ex concesso, of 
enormous blood-shedding the last two years. Its 
name is Golgotha in Hebrew (Matt. xxvii. 33. ; 
2 Kings, ix. 35.; Ex. xvi. 16.; Judg. ix. 53.), 
and Calvaria in the Latin version (Luke xxiii. 
33.), which is a translation of the Hebrew word, 
as well as of xpaviov in the Greek (Mar. xv. 22. ; 
John xix. 17.), Dr. Kitto has an interesting dis- 
cussion on the site of Calvary at the end of the 
epistle to the Hebrews; see also his note on 
Mark xvi. 2. Recent travellers disagree on this 
subject, and some write as if they had seen the 
spot, when probably they have not been admitted 
within the precincts. See La Martine’s Travels 
in the East, p. 84., Chambers’ ed, 1839. w

Church and State (2"4 §. i. 375.) — The passage 
inquired for by Gastros is probably the follow- 
ing: 
“ My opinion is, that the establishment is framed not 
for the sake of making the Church political, but for the 
purpose of making the state religious.” 
This occurs in Lord Chancellor Eldon’s letter to 
Rey. M. Surtees, Feb. 1825. I quote from Dr. 
Wordsworth’s Theophilus Anglicanus, pt. 11. ch. ii.

Hiding-places of Priests (24 §. i. 182.) — There 
was at Weybridge, . . . Lord Thomas Howard, 
who, ... leading me about the house made no 
scruple of showing me all the hiding-places of the 
priests, and where they said mass, — Evelyn’s 
Diary, April 25, 1678.

The Ten Commandments (2° §. i. 379.) —Your 
correspondent F. C. H. says that in most French 
Prayer-Books the commandments are given at 
length in prose. Perhaps so; but in the example 
adduced it is not the case. As this topic has 
been introduced into “ N. & Q.,” it may be worth 
printing the following concise and accurate state- 
ment from Professor Browne’s Exposition of the 
Articles : 
“The second commandment is joined with the first ac- 
cording to the reckoning of the Church of Rome. This is 
not to be esteemed a Romish novelty. It will be found 
so united in the Masoretic Bibles; the Masoretic Jews 
dividing the tenth commandment (according to our reck- 
oning) into two. What the Roman Church deals un- 
fairly*in is, that she teaches the commandments popularly 
only in epitome; and that, so having joined the first and 
second together, she virtually omits the second, recount- 
ing them in her catechisms, &c., thus: 1. Thou shalt 
have none other gods but Me. 2. Thou shalt not take 
the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 3, Remember 
that thou keep holy the Sabbath Day, &c. By this me- 
thod her children and other less instructed members are 
often ignorant of the existence in the decalogue of a pro- 
hibition against idolatry.” — P. 527. note (edition 2nd.).

“ Starboard,” “ Larboard,’ “ Port” (22 §. i. 
335.) — In nautical language board means the 
space comprehended between any two places where 
the ship changes her course by tacking; or, it is 
the line over which she runs between tack and
