_Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter_ (Vol. vii., p. 14.).--Hugh Oldham bore for his arms, Sa. a chevron or, between three owls proper on a chief of the second, three roses gu. (See Isaacke's _Memorials of the City of Exeter_; and also Burke's _Armory_, under the name _Oldom_.) I have endeavoured to find some pedigree or particulars of his family, but as yet without success. The following Notes from what I have collected may, however, assist J. B. in his inquiries. He was of Queen's College, Cambridge, and chaplain to the Countess of Richmond (King Henry VII.'s mother), and by her interest was installed Bp. of Exeter, April 3, 1507. He was a great benefactor to Brazenose College, Oxford, and joint founder (with Richard Fox, Bishop of Winchester) of Corpus Christi. He also founded and endowed a school at Manchester, for educating boys in good and useful literature. He died June 25, 1523, under sentence of excommunication, in consequence of an action at law then pending between him and the Abbot of Tavistock; but the Pope's sanction being obtained, he was buried in a chapel built expressly for the purpose, at the upper end of the south aisle of his own cathedral. J. T--T. "_Sic transit gloria mundi_" (Vol. vi., pp. 100. 183.).--I have lately found two additional passages, which speak of this line being used at the Pope's inauguration. The first is amongst the writings of Cornelius à Lapide: "_Datus est mihi stimulus carnis meæ Angelus Satanæ, qui me colaphizet._" ... "Datus est non a Diabolo sed a Deo; non quod Deus tentationis sit auctor, sed quia diabolo tentare Paulum parato, id permisit, idque tantum in specie et materia libidinis ad eum humiliandum. Ita August. _de Natura et Grat._, c. 27. _Hic monitor_, ait Hieron., Epist. 25., ad Paulum de obitu Blæsillæ, _Paulo datus est, ad premendam superbiam, uti in curru triumphali triumphanti datur Monitor suggerens: hominem te esse memento_. Uti et Pontifici cum inauguratur, stupa accensa et mox extincta accinitur: "Pater sancte sic transit gloria mundi." _Commentaria_ in 2nd. Epist. ad Cor. cap. xii. 7. vol. ix. p. 404.: Antwerpiæ, 1705, fol. The second passage is merely a repetition of the above-quoted words of A Lapide, but I may as well subjoin a reference to it: Ursini _Paralipomena_, lib. ii., Meletematum, p. 315.: Norimbergæ, 1667, 12mo. RT. Warmington. _Wake_ (Vol. vi., p. 532.).--In a Wake pedigree in my possession, the name of the wife of Sir Hugh Wake, Knight, Lord of Blisworth, who died May 4, 1315, is stated to be "Joane, daughter and co-heiress of John de Wolverton." I am unable to say now on what authority. W. S. (Sheffield.) Sir Hugh Wake, Lord of Deeping in Lincolnshire and Blyseworth in Northamptonshire, married Joane, daughter and co-heiress of John de Wolverton. (See Kimber and Johnson's _Baronetage_, 3 vols. 1771.)
