hofpital, there is mention of a houfe then 
in poffeffion of a Jew; and, about the 
fame time, there is an original concern- 
ing the fale of a houfe in that parifh, be- 
longing to Molley a Jew) gives good 
ground to bélieve, that it was not a Je swith 
fynagogue, as Dr. Caius and others fup- 
‘poled. itto have been. The Jews were 
banifhed England, as well as Cambridge, 
after Hugh ‘Baltham’ s death, in the 13th 
of Edward the Firt. In the tgth of his 
reign, we find him difpofing of fome of 
the huufes in the Jewry at Cambridge to 
Roger Marcount ard others. But i¢ is 
certain, from an inguifiiion taken in the 
third year of this king’s reign, that Sr. 
Sepulchre’s in the Jewry was then a 
church belogging to the prior and con-: 
vent of Barnwell, im proprios ufus; and 
yet higher in the laft year of Henry the 
‘Third there is an original grant of a houfe 
in St. Sepulchre’s parith to Galfridus de 
Alderhethe, perpetual “vicar°of St. Se- 
pulchre’s church ; fo that it was then a 
vicarage, and was,’ no doubt, a parfon- 
age many years ; and in the oldeft ac- 
counts that I have deen it is always a 
eburch,”

EPIGRAM Jy the late MR. GILBERT 
WAKEFLELD. 
The following original epigram, by 
the late Mr. Wakefield, was fent by him 
toafriend. The fubjeét of it was Mr. Fof 
ter, formerly of Cambridge, who, on ac- 
count of his rapidity in converfation, in 
pvalking, and more particularly in the 
exdeie of his profeflion, was called the 
jlying barber. He was a great oddity, 
‘and gave birth to many a piece of fun in 
the univerfity, but was an_ inoffenfive 
honeft man.

we know, was his only fault. For the .

Jaughed heartily himielf. 
Hell, at length, has got hold of chia old

For they think, that fince he is come there

As he fent them from earth, he will fend 
them from hell. 
NO. CXLVIII.—MR. COLERIDGE. 
The. poetical abilities of Mr. Cole. 
ridge, formerly of Jefus College, are well 
known.’ He cbtained one of the, prizes 
at Cambridge, and but one, fora Greck 
ode. Being once in company with a per- 
fon who had gained two prizes, the latter 
carried himfelt with ao air of fuperiority 
and triumph, and feem-d to eltimate his 
own abilities above Coleridge’s, in the 
ratio of at leaft twoto one. A perfon in 
company growing, at length, indignant 
at the vaunting airs of the conceited 
young fellow, exclaimed, “* Why zounds, 
Sir, aman’s leg may as eafily be too big 
for the boot, as your’sjuft fitted it.*

You, Judas like, your Lord and God denied; 
Judas, unlike to you, repentant figh’d. 
The latter inftantly wrote down omthe
