"Unto whom he (Lord Cobham) gave this answer: 'Do as ye shall think best, for I am _at a point_.' Whatsoever he (Archbishop Arundel) or the other bishops did ask him after that, he bade them resort to his bill: for thereby would he stand to the very death."--_Id._, vol. iii. pp. 327-8. "'Et illa et ista vera esse credantur et nulla inter nos contentio remanebit, quia nec illis veris ista, nec istis veris illa impediuntur.' Let bothe those truthes and these truthes be beleued, and we shall be _at appoinct_. For neither these truthes are impaired by the other, neither the other by these."--_A Fortresse of the Faith_, p. 50., by Thomas Stapleton: Antwerp, 1565. "A poore man that shall haue liued at home in the countrie, and neuer tasted of honoure and pompe, is alwayes _at a poynt_ with himselfe, when menne scorne and disdayne him, or shewe any token of contempt towardes his person."--John Calvin's _CVIII. Sermon on the Thirtieth Chap. of Job_, p. 554., translated by Golding: London, 1574. "As for peace, I am _at a point_."--_Leycester Correspondence_, Camd. Soc., p. 261. W. R. ARROWSMITH. (_To be continued._) * * * * * FOLK LORE. _Weather Rules._--The interesting article on "The Shepherd of Banbury's Weather Rules" (Vol. vii., p. 373.) has reminded me of two _sayings_ I heard in Worcestershire a few months back, and upon which my informant placed the greatest reliance. The first is, "If the moon changes on a Sunday, there will be a flood before the month is out." My authority asserted that through a number of years he has never known this fail. The month in which the change on a Sunday has occurred has been fine until the last day, when the flood came. The other saying is, "Look at the weathercock on St. Thomas's day at twelve o'clock, and see which way the wind is, and there it will stick for the next quarter," that is, three months. Can any of your readers confirm the above, and add any similar "weather rules?" J. A., JUN. Birmingham.
