NOTES AND QUERIES.

cation. Are the three tracts {The Loyall Convert, 

 New Distemper, and Whipper Whipt) reprints in 

 one vol., having a new title; or, three books bound 

 up together, having distinct paginations ? Most 

 likely they appeared originally in Oxford, and 

 (perhaps) were subsequently republished by the 

 author's friends in London. The Loyall Convert 

 bears on its title-page the date of 1643, which 

 Thomason, the cotemporary bookseller, has altered 

 to 1644, adding also the very day of its publica- 

 tion — namely, the 9th of April. That amendment 

 looks too precise for questioning, and it tallies, 

 moreover, with the well-authenticated accounts of 

 the author's last sad experiences. 



I incline to the opinion that the above three 

 tracts were separate publications, and that the 

 Loyall Convert is the first in order, as well as in 

 interest. It was that, at least, which occasioned 

 the interference of Parliament, the confiscation of 

 the author's property, &c. The other two (i. e. 

 New Distemper and Whipper Whipt) are neither 

 mentioned by the poet's biographers, nor included 

 in any bibliographical list. 



There are two other works, usually attributed to 

 Quarles, but which I am unable to verify — The 

 School of the Heart, and Judgment and Mercy for 

 Afflicted Souls. When was the first originally 

 published; or what is the date of the earliest copy 

 extant ? It was reprinted at Bristol in 12mo. 

 1808. The second was reprinted in London in 8vo. 

 1807, and edited by " Reginald Wolfe, Esq." {i. e. 

 the Eev. T. F. Dibdin, D.D.). The pseudo-editor, 

 although professing to bestow " a biographical and 

 critical introduction" to the "new edition" of the 

 work in question, contents himself by giving the 

 most meagre and disconnected extracts imagin- 

 able from the writings of others, omitting altoge- 

 ther notices of previous editions, as well as his 

 authority for attributing the book to Quarles. I 

 have a strong suspicion that both these works owe 

 their origin to the zeal of some surviving friend of 

 the poet (perhaps Benlowes), who collected the 

 material for each out of his common-place book, 

 or other disjecti memhra found in his bureau — 

 if, indeed, they were not invented for the nonce 

 by some speculative bookseller in the seventeenth 

 century. )3. 



[TVie School of the Heart was first published in 12mo., 

 1647; again in 1674, 1675, and 1670. It first appeared 

 with Quarles's name in the Bristol edition, 12mo. 1808, 

 Willi a Preface signed " C. De Coetlogon, Lower Grosvenor 

 Place." In 1815, Mr. Tegg also issued an edition with 

 Quarles's name ; and the same firm, in its forthcoming 

 Trade Sale, has announced a new edition, still with 

 Quarles's name. Now, it is stated in the third edition 

 of The Sclwol of ilie Heart, 1075, that it was written by 

 the author of Tlie Synagogue annexed to Herbert's 

 Poems, which is generally ascribed to Christopher Har- 

 vey, or Harvie. See the prefatory notice to 7'he Si/na- 

 flogue printed with Herbert's Temple (Pickering's edition) ; 

 Walton's Angler, by Sir Harris Nicolas, p. 150. ; Sir John 

 Hawkins's notes to Walton's Angler; and " N. & Q.," 1*'

MILLBROOK CIinRCU (2"* S. vi. 246.), AND THE ' 

 HEWETT MONUMENT (2"'' S. vi. 294.) 



I have been requested to give some farther ex- 

 tracts from my notes concerning the family of 

 Hevvett of Ampthill and Millbrook, and have 

 much pleasure in complying. 



The epitaph inscribed on the mural tablet, to 

 which I referred, runs thus : — 



" Hie jacet Armigeri Gulielmi corpus Huetti 

 Uxorisque Maria;, quam fati priorem 

 Eripuere ; duos Natos tunc mortua Mater 

 Post se sollicito patri mandoque reliqiiit, 

 Haec est conditio, status hie, hiec gloria carius, 

 Nostra sit ha;c quamvis non est lux crastina nostra. 



Gulielmus 



Maria obiit 7™" die Junii, 1002." 



Extract from parish registers : — 



" Maria Hewet the wife of William Hewet, gent., was 

 buried day of June, 1602. 



" William Hewet, Esquyre, was buried y= 23>i JIar. 

 1622." 



Since I wrote the article (2°'^ S. vi. 294.), I 

 have been informed that the remains of other 

 shields besides those mentioned existed on the 

 sarcophagus, and that the shield I noted as quar- 

 tered consisted of the Hewet arms quartered, and 

 impaling others. I'he probability, then, is that the 

 shield stood thus : Sa. a chev. counter, embattled 

 between three owls arg., quarterly, with gu., 10 

 billets or, 4. 3. 2. 1. for Button of Ampthill, whose 

 heiress, Margaret, daughter of William Button, 

 Ampthill, married Thomas Hewet from Shenley- 

 bury or -bower, Herts, the grandfather of William 

 of Millbrook. The impalement was probably 

 Price or Ap Rheese of Washingley, Hunts, whose 

 daughter Mary (as above), married Wm. of Mill- 

 brook. Any other shield must have been for 

 Tilston, of Tilston, Cheshire, mother of Wm. of 

 Millbrook : Az., a bend coticed or, between three 

 garbs of the second. 



AVith respect to the extinction of the family, 

 this I imagine to be scarcely probable, as there 

 are no less than thirteen lines from which descen- 

 dants may exist. The Visitations of 1566 — 1582 

 give four sons of Rich, of Ampthill by Margery 

 Tilston, viz. Wm. of Millbrook, EdmunJ, Aylmer 

 or Arthur of London, and Robert. 



Visitation of 1634 gives two sons of Wm. of 

 Millbrook by Mary Ap Rheese or Price, viz. 

 Robt., afterwards of Ampthill, and William ; and 

 eight sons of this Robert of Ampthill, viz. Francis, 

 John, Ciiarles, Robert, Thomas, William, Andrew, 

 and Edward, by Mary, daughter of Sir Edward 

 Mowryngs, Knt. and Bart, of Waldershams or 

 Waldershey, Kent. 



Whether any of these sons succeeded to the 

 paternal estates I do not know, nor when these 

 lands passed out of the fiimily. There is a Visita- 

 tion of 1GG9 in the Heralds' College, which might 

 elucidate this point, as far as that date ; but as the
