Should any farther doubts remain on the subject, I shall be happy to give
all information required concerning these papers, among which are the
original commission of governor and captain, signed by Lenthal, and
twenty-one letters from Lord Fairfax to his "dear cousin James Chaloner."
The son of Sir Thomas Chaloner married Ursula Fairfax. It may be presumed
the herald-painter did not stand in the same relationship to the
Parliamentary general. Lord Fairfax thanks his correspondent for a copy of
"his" _History of the Isle of Man_.

_Irish Convocation_ (Vol. vi., p. 317.; Vol. vii., p. 345.).--In vol. i. of
_Letters written by the late Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patrick's,
Dublin, and several of his Friends, from the Year 1703 to 1740, &c., with
Notes, by John Hawkesworth, LL.D._: London, 1766,--will be found some
account of the Irish Convocation in 1711. See Archbishop King's Letters at
pp. 110, 111. 122, 123. 132, 133. 140, 141.

_St. Paul's Epistle to Seneca_ (Vol. vii., p. 500.).--It is not manifest
whether J. M. S. wishes for information simply respecting the MS. in Merton
College, or whether his inquiry really relates to the _printing_ of the
fourteen spurious epistles, eight of which are ascribed to Seneca, and six
to St. Paul.
If your correspondent is curious about the particular MS. he mentions,
which is a very old one, and was the gift of William Reade, Bishop of
Chichester (who had been a Fellow of Merton) about the year 1370, he may
consult the _Catal. Lib. MSS. Ang. et Hib._, part. ii. p. 23., Oxon. 1697;
and should he desire to peruse the fictitious Epistles, he may easily
discover them in the _Bibliotheca Sancta_ of Sixtus Senensis, lib. ii. pp.
102-104. Francof. 1575, or in Fabricii _Cod. Apoc. Nov. Test._, ii.
892-904. Jacobus Faber Stapulensis has inserted them in the handsome volume
of his _Commentaries on the Epistles of St. Paul_. (Fol. clxxvi.-clxxix.:
Paris, 1517.) I find them also annexed to the _Epistole Francisci
Philelphi_, 4to., Hagenau, 1514. So far as I can perceive, it does not
appear that the correspondence in question was published amongst any of the
works of Seneca earlier than the year 1475; and it is commonly omitted in
later editions. (Fabr., _Bib. Lat._, i. 429.: Venet. 1728.) Vid. Raynaudi
_Erotemata_, p. 119.: Lugd. 1653.; Nicolai Antonii _Biblioth. Hisp. vetus_,
tom. i. pp. 39, 40.: Matriti, 1788.
R. G.
_Captain Ayloff_ (Vol. vii., p. 429.).--I possess a small volume (a 12mo.)
by "Captain Ayloffe," with a title-page as follows:
"A Pocket Companion for Gentlemen and Ladies; being a true and faithful
Epitomy of the most exact and ample Histories of _England_; containing
all the material Particulars in every reign of the _English_ Monarchs,
from Egbert to her present Majesty, being 884 years. With forty-nine
Copper plates curiously engraved, being the effigies of every Monarch.
London, printed by J. Nutt, near Stationers' Hall, 1703."
