BUCKLANU NEWTON PARISH REGISTER. 99 



ad hunc usum destinati, quo tutius reservari et ad posteritatis 

 memoriam propagari possint, ex pergamen sumptibus parochianorum 

 in posterum conficiantur : lisque non modo ex veteribus libris 

 cartaceis transumpta noinina eorum qui regnante Serenissima 

 Domina nostra, Elizabetha, aut baptismatis aqua abluti, aut inatri- 

 moniis copulati, aut ecclesiastics sepulturie beneficio affecti sint, 

 suo ordine sumptibus parochianorum inscribantur, sed eorum etiam 

 qui in posterum baptizati, vel matrimonio conjunct!, vel sepulti 

 fuerint." 



John Phillipps without delay set about carrying out this injunc- 

 tion in his own parish, and it is noticeable how much of the 

 phraseology of the original order is reproduced in the title of the 

 Buckland Xewton Register, which runs as follows : 



"REGISTRVM SI- 



VE DIARIVM NOMINVM EO- 



RVAI CONFECTVM, QVI BAPTIZATI, 



ac matrimonio coniuncti, & sepulti fuerunt, infra parae- 

 chiam de BVCKLLAND, in Comitatu DORSET, a decimo sex-

It is remarkable that this title is printed.
