The following is reported to have been inscribed by the Pope (1725) over
the gate of the Apostolical Chancery:
"Fide Deo--dic saepe preces--peccare caveto--
Sit humilis--pacem delige--magna fuge--
Multa audi--dic pauca--tace secreta--minori
Parcito--majori cedito--ferto parem.
Propria fac--non differ opus--sis aequas egeno--
Parta tuere--pati disce--memento mori."

_Hour-glass Stand_ (Vol. vii., p. 489.; Vol. viii., pp. 82. 209.

_Bulstrode Whitlock and Whitelocke Bulstrode_ (Vol. viii., p.
293.).--Bulstrode Whitlock was the son of Sir James Whitlock, Kt., by
Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Bulstrode, of Hedgley-Bulstrode, in the
county of Buckingham; and Whitelocke Bulstrode was the son of Sir Richard,
eldest son of the above-mentioned Edward Bulstrode. (See _Lives of the
Lords Chancellors, &c_., by an Impartial Hand, vol. ii p. 1.; and
Chalmers's _Biographical Dictionary_.)

_Movable Metal Types anno 1435_ (Vol. vii., p. 405.).--Although I am not
able to give any information concerning Sister Margarite, or the convent at
Mur, I yet may observe, 1st, that the last three letters of the legend - -
K can hardly refer to Laurens Janzroon Coster, for his name in 1435 was
never spelt with K, but always with C; and, besides, if a proper name be
here intended, it will certainly be that of the binder. 2ndly, that in the
catalogue of the Haarlem City Library, from p. 77. to 112., mention is made
of six works, which, though bearing no date, were, it is more than
probable, printed with movable metal types before 1435. One of these,
_Aelii Donati Grammaticae Latinae Fragmenta duo_, was printed before 1425,
and the writer of the catalogue adds in his notes:
"Ipsos typos, quibus hae lamellae sunt excusae, fuisse _mobiles_, cum
nonnullae literae inversae evidenter testantur, tum omnium expertissimorum
typographorum reique typographicae peritissimorum arbitrum, qui has
lacinias contemplati sunt, unanima et constans affirmavit sententia.
Quin et _fusos_ eos esse perhibuerunt plurimi, et in his Koningius,
magno quamvis studio negaverat typorum ligneorum mobilium acerrimus
propugnator Meermannus."
From the _Navorscher_. CONSTANTEE.
