NOTES ON RKEGIMENTS, 
(24 S. i. 423.) 
The 80th are called the Connaught Rangers; 
the 50th are called the Half Hundred; the 56th 
the Pompadours, from their purple facings (pompa- 
dour colour); the 42nd the Black Watch (why?) ; 
the 28th the Slashers, from using their swords 
(then worn by the Infantry) in the American war ; 
and the 87th “the Faugh»a-ballagh boys,” from 
Fag an bealac, “Clear the way,” their cry at 
Barrossa; having been the old shout in a faction- 
fight of the Munster and Connaught men who 
furnished their ranks. Several of the badges are 
very appropriate to the scene of the services of the 
corps by which they are borne: the sphinx of 
Egypt, the elephant and tiger royal of India, 
the eagles of Prussia and France, and Primus in 
Indis of the 39th,* the first that rounded the 
Cape; Montis Insignia Calpe, key and castle of the 
12th, 39th, 56th, and 58th, Some to the royal 
name of the regiment or the place where it was 
raised, as the white horse of Hanover ; the dragon 
of Wales ; prince’s plume ; or the castles of Edim- 
burgh and Inniskilling ; rose and crown, and 
rising sun, and the badges of the great national 
orders of knighthood. Some seem to have had 
a more peculiar origin; the paschal lamb of the 
2nd Foot; the dragon of the 3rd Buffs (East 
Kent), the only regiment that has the privilege of 
marching with drums beating and colours flying 
through the city of London, as having been origin- 
ally recruited by its ’prentices; and the antelope 
of the 6th ; the death's head “or glory” of the 
17th Lancers. 
Some regiments carry peculiar mottoes, to trace 
which would be interesting: as the “Firm” 
of the 36th; “ Cuidich'’n Rhi” of the 78th; and 
the “Gwell Augau neu Chwilydd” of the 41st, 
Others recal forgotten events; such as “ Virtutis 
Namureensis premium” with the lion of Nassau 
of the 18th; “In veritate religionis confido” of 
the 25th. 
The remaining mottoes are the following : “ Quis 
separabit?” of the 4th; ‘ Vestigia nulla retrorstim 
(Horace, Ep. i. 1. 74.) of the 5th Dragoon Guards; 
“ Spectemur agendo” of the 1st Royal Dragoons; 
“Nec Aspera Terrent,” 3rd Light Dragoons, 8th, 
14th, 23rd, and 25th Foot; “ Pristine virtutis 
memores,” 8th Hussars and 2nd Foot; “ Viret in 
zternum,” 13th Light Dragoons; “ Vel exuvia 
triumphant” of the 2nd Foot; “‘ Qué Fata vocant” 
(Eneid, iii. 7.) of the 5th; “Nemo me impuné 
lacessit,” 21st; “ Celer et audax,” 60th; ‘‘ Aucto 
splendore resurgo,” 85th; “Quod fas et gloria 
ducunt,” Engineers ; “ Ubique,” Artillery ; ‘* Per 
mare per terras,” Royal Marines. 
T am not able to trace the regiment which boasts 
the ery “Shoulder to shoulder,” nor that which 
carries the plate on the front and back of the cap.

EATON’S SERMON AT KNUTSFORD. 
(2"4 S. i. 378.) 
The Sermon concerning which Mr. A, Taytor 
inquires, was, I suspect, never printed separately 
and entire. The only notice of it I have, after 
much attention to the subject, been able to find, 
is in Sir Thomas Aston’s Remonstrance against 
Presbytery, 4to,, 1641. Sir Thomas reprints, in 
this curious pamphlet, an anti-prelatical petition 
which had been spread abroad in the county of 
Chester amongst the common people, and annexes, 
“Certain Positions preached at St. John’s Church 
in Chester, by Mr. Samuel Eaton, a minister 
lately returned from New England, upon Sunday 
being the third day of January, 1640, in the after- 
noone.” Also, “Certayn other Positions preached 
by the same man at Knuttesford, a great market 
Toune in the same County.” ‘The positions ad- 
vanced by Eaton at Knutsford show him to have 
been an early asserter of Independency. He 
holds that “any particular Congregation is an 
absolute Church ;” and “must enter into Co- 
venant amongst themselves, and without such 
Covenant no Church ;” that “the power of the 
Keyes is committed neyther to the Pastors nor 
Governors, but to the whole congregation, and to 
every particular member of the same;” and that 
“it is a heynous sin to be present when prayers 
are read out of a Book, either by the Minister or 
any other.” Sir Thomas Aston states, that by 
these ‘‘and other such Doctrines, many of the 
common people are brought into that odium of 
the Book of Common Prayer, that divers of them 
will not come into the Church during the time of 
Divine Service.”
