2. "_Memorandum_, That on Septuagesima Sunday, being the 19^{th} day of
January, 1667, one Francis Drury, an excommunicate person, came into
the church in time of divine service in y^e morning, and being
admonisht by mee to begon, hee obstinately refused, whereuppon y^e
whole congregation departed; and after the same manner in the
afternoon, the same day, he came again, and refusing againe to go out,
the whole congregation againe went home, soe y^t little or no service
pformed. They prevented his further coming in y^t manner, as hee
threatned, by order from the Justice, uppon the statute of Queene
Elizabeth concerning the molestation and disturbance of publiq
preachers.

"_All my Eye._"--"_Over the Left._"
"What benefit a Popish successor can reap from lives and fortunes spent
in defence of the Protestant religion, he may put in his eye: and what
the Protestant religion gets by lives and fortunes spent in the service
of a Popish successor, will be over the left shoulder."--Preface to
_Julian the Apostate_: London, printed for Langley Curtis, on Ludgate
Hill. 1682.
Is this passage the origin of the above cant phrases?

Irby, where Anthony Irby has two daughters: Margaret, who married Henry
Death, and Dorothy, who married John Domesday.

_Child-mother._--Four months ago, on board the Brazil packet, the royal
mail steam-vessel Severn, there was an instance of a "child-wife," which
might be worthy of a place among your curiosities of that description.
She was the wedded wife of a Brazilian travelling from the Brazils to
Lisbon, and her husband applied for permission to pay the "reduced passage
money" for her as being "under twelve years of age!"
As the regulation on that head speaks of "_children_ under twelve years of
age," this _conscientious_ Brazilian's demand could not be countenanced.
His wife's age was under eleven years and a half, and (_credat Judaeus_)
_she was a mother_!

In a _Collection of Poems_, in six volumes, by several Hands (Dodsley, 5th
edition, 1758), and in vol. iii. p. 75., is found "An Epistle from Florence
to T. A., Esq., Tutor to the Earl of P----. Written in the year 1740. By
the Honourable ----." Can any one explain an allusion contained in these
three lines of the epistle?
"Or with wise Ken judiciously define,
When Pius marks the honorary coin
Of Caracalla, or of Antonine."
